It’s the hardest part

Saturday 9: The Waiting

1. Have you ever stayed online for a very long time waiting for someone?
As you all know, I’m online a lot so it may just seem like I’m waiting for them when really I’m surfing and writing and stuff. (short answer: yes)

2. How do you eat oreos?
Dipped in a cold glass of milk

3. Are you cocky?
Only in my pretend world. Not so much IRL.

4. Did you have an imaginary friend as a kid?
No. But I did have a baby doll named Angel and I loved her fiercely and unreservedly. And even brushed her hairless head during mass to amuse myself. (See? Even then I was a religious renegade!)

5. What t.v. station do you watch the most?
I don’t watch much television but I’d say MSNBC if pressed.

6. Have you ever seen the ocean?
I live near it and wouldn’t have it any other way. I love the ocean. I love a puddle. Just make sure I’m by some water.

7. Have you ever been hospitalized?
Twice: tonsils when I was three and gastric bypass when I was 37. I don’t like hospitals at all. They smell odd and I’m always worried that I will hear people retching or dying.

8. What’s your favorite brand of rootbeer?
There was a cool drive in place in Baltimore called “Stewarts” and when I was a kid, family members would pack in the station wagon and drive there for frosty mugs of the stuff. And the mugs were so neat that people tried to steal them. Yes, we were caught and had to give it back.

9. Could you live without a computer?
I could, I suppose, but why would I want to?

————-
I have a small rant that’s bubbling up. Not sure if I will post it but it has to do with one of the two people who represent my shadow side. I talked about that in a post a while back. This person I have to see just about every day. Those of you who know me (even just from here) know that I don’t get angry easily but there are certain buttons that, when pushed, cause me to get all confronty and whatnot. And yes, she pushed a button and I am pissed. Details to follow.
