Rainy Sunday Stealing and Stuff

Sunday Stealing: Judd’s Merged Meme

1. What were doing 10 years ago?

I can barely remember yesterday much less ten years ago.  I think I had just made the move from Richmond VA to Northern VA and working at a new job.

2. Five snacks that you enjoy in a perfect, non weight-gaining world

Where is this perfect, non-weight gaining world you speak of? I wish to be transported there immediately!  Snacks? I love hard, crunchy fat pretzels, fresh potato chips, brownies, devils food cake and snickers bars.

3. Five things you would do if you were a billionaire:

First thing: make sure my relatives were all taken care of – especially my godmommy, my auntie G and auntie J.  Then I would try to find a way to assist with job creation for many, many people somehow, send myself to a fat farm, start a broadcast network for progressives to combat the bs from fox and then I’d get a new house.

4. Three of your habits:

I drink coffee in the evening before bed, have conversations with myself often, and sleep with the sound machine set on rain.

5. Five jobs that you’ve have had:

Fast food counter help, receptionist at financial services firm, customer support at a pet med place, operations manager of yet another financial services firm and bookstore clerk.

6. Five places that you’ve lived:

Baltimore, Richmond, Northern VA, and the eastern shore. That’s it!

7. Five things that you did yesterday:

Worked, ate pizza for lunch, watched an episode of 30 Rock, played on the computer and went to bed. (Fast lane, yes?)

8. Five people you would want to get to know more about:

IRL? Not that many, actually. hehe  I’m not even sure I want to know more about Hal or Cookie (that part is a lie, actually. I’d love to know more about the “real” person behind their persona).  I have a couple friends who are sort of mysterious that I’d love to know on a different level but that’s all I can think of.

9. Abortion: for or against it?

I am for a woman’s right to make her own choices.  It’s not my business nor should it be my business what someone else does. I have control over one body – mine and that’s all that I need worry about.

10. Do you think the world would fail with a female president?

Fail? What the hell kind of question is this? In fact, I think we’d be better off by far with more feminine energy in this world. By far.

11. Do you believe in the death penalty?

I used to but I don’t know anymore.  I guess if pressed, I’d have to say no, I don’t agree with it.

12. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?

Not sure about this one. On one hand, going along with my pro-choice stance, I’d be inclined to say whatever you choose to do with your body is not my business. OTOH, I think it’s been shown that using marijuana slows reaction times and tends to blur better judgment. I’d rather not have my cab driver under the influence, you know? I don’t have a pony in the race since I’ve never even tried this so it doesn’t affect me, per se.

13. Are you for or against premarital sex?

To be consistent, I’d say that the choices someone makes with regard to their own sexuality belong entirely to them. Whether someone chooses sex before marriage is not up for my judgment. (If I had to pick a side, I’d say I’d rather people have sex before marriage so if there are quirky issues, they have time and space to work them out. I don’t see anything bad about it unless you have it and it’s not what you really wanted. And that’s another issue entirely.)

14. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?

Absolutely. It will not cause the entire downfall of society and it’s no one’s business as to who another can love and/or marry.  If you don’t feel same sex marriage is for you, don’t have one. But denying an entire group of people the rights you are accorded just because of your sexual orientation is 100% wrong, in my opinion.

No, I don’t. I can’t control that and even if I could, what’s the point? I am who I am.
