Saturday 9 – Turns me inside out

March 5, 2010 Written by Lisa

 

Saturday 9: Your Smiling Face

1. No matter what’s going on in your life, what always makes you smile?

Snuggling with kitty Sophia, holding babies, getting email from people I love, dancing

2. What’s the biggest lie you’ve ever told?

Oh good Lord – I’m not putting that out here for all the world to see.  I will, however, admit to opening Christmas packages ahead of time for many years when I was a child and then lying my ass off about it when I was caught. I don’t do it any more (that you know of).

3. Do you hold a grudge?

Nah, it takes too much energy. I can nurse small ones occasionally, though. 

4. What is the worst job you’ve ever had?

I worked for T. Rowe Price back in the day in an area where we computed portfolio performance by hand. (This was before the advent of computers, kids.  Circa 1988) The co-workers were bitchy, I was out of my element, I was put on probation for making so many mistakes (truth be told, I don’t know how I got the job or why because math never was my strong suit) – I cried and cried and cried and felt like I was in prison.  It was awful.

5. What would be your dream job?

I’d love to do Spirit Guide readings, spiritual coaching and teach others to access that ability within themselves.  That and, of course, follow Cookie and Hal around the country.

6. What is the happiest event you’ve experienced?

Passing my Series 7 test (stock broker’s license) was a pretty damn big deal for me.  It took me a couple tries to get it right but I did it.  Also, fitting into size 10 jeans a year after gastric bypass surgery. I looked good and I knew it. It was great.

7. What is the saddest thing you’ve experienced?

Understanding that it was Lauren’s soul’s wish to leave this earth and knowing that I had no ability to stop it or go in her place.  (I tried bargaining, oh yes I did. Many were the nights I talked with my Guides begging them to take me instead. They told me it doesn’t work that way. But I would have gone without hesitation or regret. If I could go back in time and make that deal, I would do it this very moment. (I’d kiss all my pets and post a note here to let you know.)

8. Do you tend to exaggerate or underestimate?

Well, I tend to drama it up a bit because I’m emo like that.

9. List the cars that you have owned. Give us just a few words about each one.

As a senior in high school, I drove the family station wagon that had only am radio – yes, I listened to am radio and the warblings of Andy Gibb on my way to school. 

Next up was a 67 mustang convertible that my idiot uncle talked me into buying. It was always breaking down or crapping out. It was a piece ‘o shit car but for about three seconds I looked good in it.

Then no car for quite a while.  That was fun. (not)  Metro buses and a mom who will come fetch you were lifesavers.

My aunt kindly bought me used car (an escort with no air conditioning. That was a sweatbox – good God!) This was totaled in an accident soon into my ownership (not my fault at all – crazy ass teenager rushing to get home before curfew flew through five lanes of traffic on a red light and hit me broadside.) and I was once again left without a car.

Which brings me to my beloved Geo Metro – I ran the hell out of that car and loved it to pieces. One of my co-workers called it the “crazy clown car”. 

After that was my Ford Taurus which I loved to pieces also.  Great car.  Hated giving that one up.

Second to the last stop was my Toyota Carolla which I also loved but Duty made me trade it in for a Prius.  I like the Prius (and it was in the Good Liberal’s handbook as the only car I should be driving – heh) but I loved my carolla.

Saturday 9 – Clash into me

February 27, 2010 Written by Lisa

Saturday 9: Should I Stay or Should I Go

1. Have you ever been on a date and you had to tell the person to just go away?
Not while I was on the date but I have had ones that I wished were over more quickly than they were. Once I got into meeting people from the online world, I didn’t have that issue overly much.

2. Do you wish you were someplace else right now? If yes, where?
I’d like to be at a spa of some kind, getting pampered, rubbed, pedicured, and finish the evening with a glass (or 30) of wine. Might you know where I can find such a place?

3. Do you have any pet peeves?
More like do I NOT have any? That’d be the quicker answer, I think. I do have some quirks, yes. Off the top of my head, I CAN NOT STAND people standing by my desk having a chat fest. Move your ass over to the corner. I also am not fond of know-it-alls who try to make others feel stupid. Then I worry that I am one of those know-it-alls. Can someone reassure me I’m not?

4. Tell us about a guilty pleasure of yours.
Just one? Poots. I like eating the crusts of leftover slices of pizza. I’m like a little rat who likes to gnaw on them and will steal them from any piece I see around.

5. If you could change places and become a celebrity, who would you’d like to be?
Hmmm … I’d like to be Michelle Obama – she’s a strong, intelligent woman, accomplished in her own right. I have a feeling she’d take no shit. I like that.

6. What do you consider your biggest talent?
Besides conversing with people’s Spirit Guides, you mean? I think my ability to communicate in writing is what I’m known for, at least in my family. (I’m also quite good at deciphering someone’s feelings through their words but that’s probably the empath part of me working.)

7. Do you have a favorite actor/actress that is not a big star, yet they are your favorite?
Not really – Cookie isn’t an actor so I can’t claim that and Sparkela is already somewhat well known, so can’t claim that. I did, however, love Prince before ANYONE had ever heard of him. Does that count?

8. Name your five favorite rock bands of all time.
I don’t think I have five – but I’ll try: U2, Steely Dan (not really a band but close), Heart – that’s all I’ve got for now.

9. If you were to start a new relationship (for whatever reason), how much of your sexual history would you share? Would you resort to lying?
I’d share whatever I deemed appropriate. I have no diseases or other pressing medical issues and would happily share that but otherwise, I’d share on a “need to know” basis.

Saturday 9: Close talker edition

February 20, 2010 Written by Lisa

Saturday 9: Don’t Stand So Close to Me

1. Who would you like not to stand so close to you?
I’m pretty sure I don’t want to be in the vicinity of “Dick” Cheney. He has really, really (and I mean REALLY) bad energy and I just couldn’t stand being in that for very long.

2. Which of the following aspects of your life would you think rates the highest: mind, body or spirit?
Of those three, I’d have to say Spirit but intertwined very closely with mind and finishing a sad, sad third is body. I’m working hard, though, on bringing it more into balance.

3. What is your favorite movie line?
It’s from “Bridget Jones’s Diary” – Bridget says to Mark Darcy “Nice guys don’t kiss like that.” and he responds “Oh yes they fucking do.” – he’s so proper and dignified that hearing him say “fucking” like that makes me giggle. That movie is my all time favorite. No highbrow fancy pants foreign films for me. Just give me Bridget, that wanker Daniel Cleaver and my love Mark Darcy and I’m happy for a couple hours.

4. What is your favorite movie title?
It’s not my favorite but this bit of conversation between me and my Godmommy from my childhood always stuck in my head.

ME: There’s a movie called “The night of the following day” – why don’t they just call it “Tomorrow Night”?

GODMOM: Would you want to see a movie called “Tomorrow Night”?

So, that’s my favorite movie title: Tomorrow Night. heh

5. What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle?
Hmm, that’s a good question. I could go all woo-woo on you but I won’t. I’ll stick with the mundane. After years and years of both feeling like a fat girl and being a fat girl, fitting into size 10 jeans was truly a miracle to me. In fact, it would feel like one now if I did that again. I have a magnet on my fridge that says “Miracles happen. Save the skinny jeans.” (They’re buried deep in a drawer but I still have them.)

6. What do you try to stay away from?
Places (even online) with very low vibration – fighting, mean-spirited comments, cruelty. In fact, I cannot even look at any stories of hurt and/or mistreated animals. It almost kills me.

7. What is it too late for?
Baby having. (Well, it was too late for that about 7 years ago when I found out that part of my body just decided to give up the ghost.) I felt really sad for quite a while, a good part of that sadness was that I felt I let my mom down. She said that was not the case but I still carried that around for a couple years.

8. Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.
I’m gonna call out the Sister-in-law of Love here … when Duty and I were engaged, she was not very happy about it for a couple reasons. In fact, she and her husband didn’t come to the ceremony. (They did, however, make us a wonderfully yummy wedding cake. MMM!) Whatever the issues were, she has put them aside and has become a wonderful friend and for that I am thankful. So, a big ass shout out to my sister-in-law of Love, Becky. I loves ya!

9. Would you rather be famous now & forgotten after you die or forgotten now & famous after you die, forever? And why?
Oh hell! I want to be famous NOW!! NOW I say! When I’m dead, you can move on but while I am here on this earth plane, I want to be adored and worshipped. (Oh no. Did I say worshipped out loud? Hee! busted!)

Saturday 9 – Still Snowy edition

February 13, 2010 Written by Lisa

At least the sun was out for a bit today and I got my nails done all pretty and ate a yummy muffin. So, even though we are awash in snow, it’s a good day.

Saturday 9: It’s a Beautiful Morning

1. Are you a morning person?
Depends on your definition of a morning person – my mom used to be up at 5am routinely, weekends included. If that’s your definition, then no. But I’d say that I like the mornings and am probably at my sharpest then into early afternoon.

2. Tell us of a news story that truly shocked you. This one shocked, horrified and made me so very, very sad for everyone involved: Soldier father accused of waterboarding his four year old daughter because she couldn’t recite the alphabet. Bless that little child’s heart and what she must have gone through. There are no words that adequately describe this whole scenario.

3. What was your very first job?
I worked in a fast food restaurant where I made lots of friends, kissed a boy while standing in a freezer, ate so many french fries I gained some poundage F-A-S-T and went home every night smelling of grease. All I wanted was a job where I smelled the same when I left as when I began.

4. What characteristics do you despise?
In myself or others? For others, I’d say phoniness, arrogance and lack of sensitivity. For myself, I’d say my lack of motivation sometimes, my bitchy side that I (try to) keep under wraps and my spoiled “I want what I want when I want it” side.

5. To where would you retire?
Requirements: warm but not hot, near the ocean, excellent bookstores and good shopping malls, no fuckin’ snow – where might this place be? I’ll go there as soon as I turn 65.

6. Are you named after anyone?
There was a woman my mom knew who was just lovely and she wanted to name me after her. We saw her once in a food store and my mom mentioned that she was who I was named after. (She really was very pretty. Lisa Lanciotti was her name, I believe.)

7. How do you release anger?
Tears, always tears. This way my body has of releasing anger has caused me no end of difficulty in the work environment. I had one boss who used to WIG OUT! every time I cried. He and I had such a horrific dynamic together – and I felt helpless and frustrated almost all the time I spent there. After a while, I’d just go into the bathroom, cry and get it out, wash my face and go back to work.

8. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Oh hell no! Why would I do something like that? Puhhhlease. (Short answer: yes)

9. What is your least favorite thing about yourself?
I just listed a bunch under question 4 but if I had to pick one it’s my indecisiveness on most things and my difficulty in completing personal tasks. (At work, I do things like that just fine. No problem at all. In my own life? Not so much. What’s that about, you think?)

Snowpocalypse Saturday 9

February 6, 2010 Written by Lisa

As you may or may not know, the entire Atlantic seaboard was blizzarded upon and we have (at last count) about two feet of snow outside. Peeps are all a’twitter on Twitter about it and I’m using it as an excuse to sit around and do nothing of note. (What’s that, you say? I don’t ever need an excuse to do that? Oh, well. Alrighty then.) So, in honor of Snowpocalypse 2010, here’s my Saturday 9.

Saturday 9: I Started a Joke

1. Tell us a joke that you think is funny. If you don’t tell jokes tell us why.
What do you call cheese that’s not yours?? NACHO CHEESE! hahahah

2. Where do you buy most of your clothes?
Wherever I find something that I like. All over the place, usually. Always looking for bargains at Coldwater Creek.

3. Which famous person would you like to meet? Why?
How cool would it be to have a party with Hal and Cookie? My head (and parts) would ‘plode, that’s for sure. Just to spend time chatting with Hal and listening to Cookie sing and laugh. My impression of Nirvana.

4. What is your ultimate ambition?
To conquer the world! And beyond! Then, drink a lot of coffee with cream.

5. Do you like to live in the area of your country or would you prefer something a little different?
I like where I live … near the water, near the city. Pretty calm and peaceful.

6. Has a newspaper or television reporter ever interviewed you? If so, what were the circumstances and what did you think when you read or saw what you said?
Nope, don’t think they have. Well, my friend Charlie is a reporter and he’s asked me questions so does that count? No? Poots.

7. What was the last CD/mp3 album that you purchased? How did you like it?
Matt Nathanson’s Some Mad Hope – saw him open for Cookie in VA Beach in July and he was great! Wonderful singer/songwriter.

8. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
I can’t make you love me/Bonnie Raitt, Sweetest Taboo/Sade, Make Me/MWK, Wish you were here/Incubus, and for the wonderfully angelic Goddaughter of Love – Float On/Modest Mouse

9. Do you or your partner usually begin intimacy?
What is this intimacy you speak of? I know not what that is. I suspect it is sorely lacking in the life of a Snarkela.
