Monday Mission - 3/31/2003

Monday Mission:

1. How old will you be on your next birthday?
25, baby. Old enough to rent a car.

2. One of the presents I was given for my birthday was a "George Foreman Grill." I've always joked about them, so it was kind of a joke gift. But it turns out, it is a really neat little grill. Then it hit me, this is a gadget, except it is for the kitchen. Then I thought about it and realized that "gadgets" aren't just techno-toys, gadgets are everywhere. What is your favorite gadget?
A spork, maybe?

3. Tell me about someone that you lost touch with several years ago. Would you like to get back in touch with them again? What caused the separation? Has enough time passed? Would you still get along?
After CJB and I broke up, we didn't talk for several years. I really respect him for having the guts to ICQ me after about 4 years. Now we are friends without all that post-breakup weirdness. It rocks!

4. I've not met many online friends in real-life (I.R.L.), but I've always assumed we'd get along great if we met. But then again, if we would since my online personality (brash, outgoing) seems so different from how I see my RL offline version (introverted). Is there a difference between your online personality and your real-life version? Or are you pretty much the same person either way?
When I was young, I was quiet, really quiet, then as I spent more time online, I came out of my shell, and I think basically I am the same weirdo both online and off.

5. Being the quiet type, I have often felt like the online world has given me a greater chance to meet people I'd never meet IRL. In fact, I would bet that I would have never met any of you IRL if we had been in the same bookstore or coffee shop. So in that sense, I think the Internet has helped inter-personal communication for many people. Can you think of any ways that the Internet hinders person-to-person communication? What could we do to change things?
People who type in l337 or sTuPiD fUcKiN cApZ and other kinds of shorthand are not helping communication. One might argue that it's simply another way English is evolving, but I think it's just stupid.

6. Last night, about 1AM I was overcome with this amazing sense of inner peace. I hadn't prayed, or done anything spiritual, yet, I felt like life was truly good and things could only get better. It seemed like I was given a mental "nudge" as if to say, "You're doing great kid, stay with it and everything will keep getting better." When was the last time you felt truly happy, or had that sense of perfect inner-peace? What does it take to get that feeling back when you need it?
Goddamn. It's been awhile.

7. There are times when I just want to tell someone off. I don't usually, since I have to work with them. Sometimes it is a family member and that would be even worse on down the road if I cut loose. If you could just verbally let loose on someone and be able to say anything you want, without repercussions, who would you say it to and what would you say?
WHAT? As if I'd post it here.

BONUS: Are we alive or just a dying planet?
Are we alive or just breathing?

Spit or swallow? Why do you prefer it?

Swallowing wins every time. There are 2 reasons:
i) the guys love it (duh!)
ii) I don't get the logistics of spitting. How do you do it graciously? I imagine that leaning over and expectorating into the garbage can looks pretty rude. Besides, it doesn't really taste all that bad, imho.

Strained Ass

Blogging on the road from the Geekhaus..

For the past week, I've had a sharp shooting pain in my butt while doing some exercises and occasionally after walking. The aerobics instructor tells me that it might be sciatica. Who knows? it's a sharp pain that goes vertically through my gluteus maximus. TMI? Probably.

Monday Mission - 3/24/2003

Note: This was entry #666. :evilgrin

Monday Mission:

1. Since we've covered the standard "where do you go when you die" question, let's get a little deeper. When you do die, would you like to be able to watch your funeral?
Yes, that would be so kinky. In fact, the mere thought makes me have to go get my purple friend. Excuse me for a minute, please.

2. Catholics must have the longest funeral services ever. I think there is a lot to be said for the traditions that they keep, but it was just so depressing. I'd like my funeral to be much more upbeat, like those I've seen in New Orleans. What type of funeral would you plan for yourself?
Catholic funerals are SO not depressing. They celebrate your life and comfort the living. They also aren't long. I've never been to one longer than an hour. And I sure know funerals, I average at least one a month, or more, if I'm lucky! :pleased

3. As a child, when I was angry sometimes I would wish that a parent or teacher would die. Thank goodness wishes like those are never granted. I think it probably takes the loss of someone important before you learn the value of life. When did you first realize that life was so fragile?
After 9/11, and again last week when I found out that one of my former students died of leukemia at age 15. The latter doesn't bother me, I only taught her for a month or so.

4. When we said our final respects to Grandma H. today, I though about her impact on the world. No, she didn't cure cancer or make sweeping changes to society. But she did leave a legacy of four sons and a daughter, who in turn have children and grandchildren. And maybe that was her purpose, to launch future generations that will accomplish great things. Some of us are here to make a huge splash in the pond of life, others are here to direct the ripples in the water. Of the people you've known personally who have passed away, what sort of legacy, impact, mark or achievement did they leave behind?
I don't know anyone close to me who died. 3 of the 4 grandparents are dead but I was not close to any of them.

5. One thing that struck me at the funeral, was that there were so many men were dressed in casual clothes. I was brought up to believe that men should always wear a suit to a funeral, as a show of respect. Maybe these men were never taught that. Maybe they just don't own suits. Maybe that I am just old fashioned and not hip to the times. Do you think there is an "appropriate" way to dress for attending a funeral? Or is it even important?
I see WAY too many people wearing red at funerals. That's just wrong. I always wear black from head to toe, I want to look respectful.

6. Grandma H. was far enough along in life to have been able to plan ahead for her funeral, even down to the tiny details such as song selections. It was nice to finally attend a funeral where they didn't play "Amazing Grace!" My choices would be "Ode to Joy" and "I'll Fly Away." What are some of the more memorable songs you've heard played at funerals?
At my funeral, I'd want Mozart's Requiem, especially the Lacrimosa, On Eagle's Wings, and How Great Thou Art to end. The last two are my favourite ones to play at a funeral.

7. I've been craving some home-made pickles for years now. Not just any, but the kind my dear Great Grandmother made. It's been over 20 years since she died, but I can still remember just how her dill pickles taste. No one in the family has even attempted to make them since. Today at the funeral I overheard someone wishing that they had asked Grandma H. for her home-made noodle recipe but now it was too late. Do you have any favorite foods that only one relative made, and the recipe died with them?
Hmmm, my paternal grandma's loh bak goh. We lament the lack of good loh bak goh every year at Chinese New Year.

This is the face of war

click picture for full story

"When war, as in these days in Iraq, threatens the fate of humanity, it is ever more urgent to proclaim, with a strong and decisive voice, that only peace is the road to follow to construct a more just and united society. Violence and arms can never resolve the problems of men. Peace is a gift of God and a humble and constant achievement by men."

Sexy Saturday - Week 4

sexysat.gif

What's your deepest, darkest fantasy? Have you ever had a sexual fantasy come true, but turn out to be a total disaster?

I have 3:
1) Sex on top of a grand piano.
2) Sex at centre ice at ACC. (On a blanket or something, duh!)
3) I have to admit, I can't tell you..it is just a little too weird! Feel free to take a wild guess though. :shocked

As for total disasters, I let someone tie me to the bed once, and it just wasn't all that it was cracked up to be.

Weekly Wrap-Up:

1. Do you like going to the zoo? Why or why not?

2. How many zoos have you visited? Where?
A couple that I can think of off the top of my head: Metro Toronto Zoo, National Zoo in Washington DC.

3. What's your favorite animal to see at the zoo? Why?
POLAR BEARS! I have to make another trip to the Toronto Zoo soon to see this little furball.

Friday Five - 3/21/2003

Friday Five (written while high on Lik-M-Aid):

1. If you had the chance to meet someone you've never met, from the past or present, who would it be?
Göran.

3. If you had to move anywhere else on Earth, where would it be?

4. If you had to be a fictional character, who would it be?
Anne of Green Gables. It's her life that makes me want to have lived in the late 19th, early 20th century.

5. If you had to live with having someone else's face as your own for the rest of your life, whose would it be?
One of the people mentioned in #2. As long as I could keep my own brain.

Voices

"Of course, the people do not want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to the farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war . . . that is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it is a democracy or a fascist dicatorship or a parliament or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
- Hermann Goering, second in command of the Third Reich

"War is a crime against peace which cries for vengeance before God."
- Archbishop Renato Raffaele Martino

"I lived through World War II and I survived the Second World War. For this reason, I have the duty to say 'Never again war'."
- Pope John Paul II

Dear Governor Bush:

So today is what you call "the moment of truth," the day that "France and the rest of world have to show their cards on the table." I'm glad to hear that this day has finally arrived. Because, I gotta tell ya, having survived 440 days of your lying and conniving, I wasn't sure if I could take much more. So I'm glad to hear that today is Truth Day, 'cause I got a few truths I would like to share with you:

1. There is virtually NO ONE in America (talk radio nutters and Fox News aside) who is gung-ho to go to war. Trust me on this one. Walk out of the White House and on to any street in America and try to find five people who are PASSIONATE about wanting to kill Iraqis. YOU WON'T FIND THEM! Why? 'Cause NO Iraqis have ever come here and killed any of us! No Iraqi has even threatened to do that. You see, this is how we average Americans think: If a certain so-and-so is not perceived as a threat to our lives, then, believe it or not, we don't want to kill him! Funny how that works!

2. The majority of Americans -- the ones who never elected you -- are not fooled by your weapons of mass distraction. We know what the real issues are that affect our daily lives -- and none of them begin with I or end in Q. Here's what threatens us: two and a half million jobs lost since you took office, the stock market having become a cruel joke, no one knowing if their retirement funds are going to be there, gas now costs almost two dollars -- the list goes on and on. Bombing Iraq will not make any of this go away. Only you need to go away for things to improve.

3. As Bill Maher said last week, how bad do you have to suck to lose a popularity contest with Saddam Hussein? The whole world is against you, Mr. Bush. Count your fellow Americans among them.

4. The Pope has said this war is wrong, that it is a SIN. The Pope! But even worse, the Dixie Chicks have now come out against you! How bad does it have to get before you realize that you are an army of one on this war? Of course, this is a war you personally won't have to fight. Just like when you went AWOL while the poor were shipped to Vietnam in your place.

5. Of the 535 members of Congress, only ONE (Sen. Johnson of South Dakota) has an enlisted son or daughter in the armed forces! If you really want to stand up for America, please send your twin daughters over to Kuwait right now and let them don their chemical warfare suits. And let's see every member of Congress with a child of military age also sacrifice their kids for this war effort. What's that you say? You don't THINK so? Well, hey, guess what -- we don't think so either!

6. Finally, we love France. Yes, they have pulled some royal screw-ups. Yes, some of them can be pretty damn annoying. But have you forgotten we wouldn't even have this country known as America if it weren't for the French? That it was their help in the Revolutionary War that won it for us? That our greatest thinkers and founding fathers -- Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, etc. -- spent many years in Paris where they refined the concepts that lead to our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution? That it was France who gave us our Statue of Liberty, a Frenchman who built the Chevrolet, and a pair of French brothers who invented the movies? And now they are doing what only a good friend can do -- tell you the truth about yourself, straight, no b.s. Quit pissing on the French and thank them for getting it right for once. You know, you really should have traveled more (like once) before you took over. Your ignorance of the world has not only made you look stupid, it has painted you into a corner you can't get out of.

Well, cheer up -- there IS good news. If you do go through with this war, more than likely it will be over soon because I'm guessing there aren't a lot of Iraqis willing to lay down their lives to protect Saddam Hussein. After you "win" the war, you will enjoy a huge bump in the popularity polls as everyone loves a winner -- and who doesn't like to see a good ass-whoopin' every now and then (especially when it 's some third world ass!). So try your best to ride this victory all the way to next year's election. Of course, that's still a long ways away, so we'll all get to have a good hardy-har-har while we watch the economy sink even further down the toilet!

But, hey, who knows -- maybe you'll find Osama a few days before the election! See, start thinking like THAT! Keep hope alive! Kill Iraqis -- they got our oil!!

Yours,

Michael Moore, director of Bowling for Columbine

Perspective

Nice to know that in a world gone mad, USA Today still reports what's really important:


War Begins with Dubya

unclejean.jpg

Prime Minister Jean Chretien receives a standing ovation yesterday from members of his caucus in the House of Commons after announcing Canada will not participate in a war on Iraq that does not have the support of the U.N. Security Council. The PM did not phone U.S. President George W.Bush to inform him of his decision, aides say. Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham said "the ambassador from the United States is quite capable of watching Canadian television," so they didn't need a phone call.

Saddam Hussein phoned President Bush and said, "I had a dream about the United States. I could see the whole country, and over every building and home was a banner."
"What was on the banner?" asked Bush.

"LONG LIVE SADDAM!" answered the dictator.

"I'm so glad that you called," said President Bush, "because I too had a dream. In my dream, I saw Iraq and it was more beautiful than ever; totally rebuilt with many tall, gleaming office buildings, large residential subdivisions with swimming pools in every yard; and over every building and home was a big, beautiful banner."

"What did the banner say?" asked Saddam.

"I don't know," answered President Bush, "I can't read."

Sexy Saturday - Week 3

What turns you on? How have your turn-ons and turn-offs changed over the years?

The Joke List: Jello, leg warmers, hairy knees, amputee porn and giraffes.

The Serious List: nice hands, beautiful eyes, strategic licks and kisses in sensitive places :wink a sense of humour, intelligent conversation.

The only thing that's really changed is that my standards of "drop-dead gorgeous" is different. It's more like, the beauty on the inside reflects the physical beauty. Something like that.

Guts

Finally got up the nerve to tell the guy who I very stupidly gave my phone number to at the Gn'R concert to fuck off. He'd been calling every month or so, and hanging up on him did nothing to dissuade him from calling again. Fortunately, this guy had such lousy timing that the past few times he's called I've been out (and you know how often that actually happens), but last night I told him point blank to quit calling me and added a little white lie for good measure. ("I have a boyfriend.")

Recently, I've traversed the web, dissing The System, babies, and musical tastes. It might be residual alcohol from last night's drunkfest, or raging PMS, but if you're offended by me or anything I say or do, don't ever expect me to be sorry.

and on that note..

What is your opinion on porn? Do you find it degrading or arousing? Are there any kinds of porn in particular that you love or hate?

I think porn is great. People who get all offended by it are probably repressed somehow, whether they realize it or not. I don't care for schoolgirl bondage porn, scat/watersports, or bukkake, and I sure hate that beastiality porn where they claim super-hardcore pics but it turns out to be a girl superimposed over a barnyard scene.

Weekly Wrap-Up - Beauty

Weekly Wrap-up:

1. What is your definition of "beauty"? Has this changed over time?
When I was a kid, I used to think the stereotypical blond hair, blue eyes was the epitome of beauty. I could try to wax philosophical about 'inner beauty' and all that crap...I still think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Although, I still find men with blond hair and blue eyes to be very bootifulicious! :drool

2. Who (famous or not famous) do you think is beautiful? Why?
Laetitia Casta, Kate Winslet, Anna Kournikova, Frances Sand

3. Is it possible to be both beautiful and ugly? How?
For sure. I can think of 2 examples:
i) Physical beauty but an ugly personality
ii) A supermodel/movie star/famous person without makeup :laugh

4. Why does society place so much emphasis on beauty? Will this ever change? Why or why not?
I think society places more emphasis on thinness=beauty. Personally, I wish it would change to healthy=beauty. There is nothing attractive about an overweight person scarfing down food like there's no tomorrow.

5. How does beauty vary from culture to culture? Is there a particular culture's definition of beauty that you admire? Why?
I wish body modification was more accepted as mainstream. So you could say that I admire the modified community's definition of beauty.

How often do you masturbate? Do you use toys and lube, or your fingers? Any "visual aids"?

I wank it a couple of times a week, always use one of my purple friends and lube. As for visual aids, I either use my overactive imagination or read a story from asstr.org.
