mimerki. ask, and ye shall receive.
1) You have "interesting scars" listed as an interest. Explain.
every scar has a story. i like to hear them, if people are willing to tell. i'm also fascinated by the way bodies repair trauma and the way scar tissue is unlike other skin. (i also think that the different color/texture of genital skin is interesting, but i'm not sure i want that listed.)weahawk has some of the most interesting ones i've seen.
i suppose i find emotional scars interesting too, and i tend to (unintentionally) gather people around me who have had some major trauma in their lives.
2) You wake up and discover that someone has snuck into your house and prepared your favorite breakfast. What did they make?
assuming i'm over the breaking and entering?
gah! i love all breakfasts! there is no platonic breakfast, although i am a sucker for fruit and pork components. i used to go to a place in PA that had a cheddar-apple-sausage omelette that was to die for. i also love the Chinook's basket-o-scones with orange honey butter. and then there's a bag of hot donuts from Mighty-O at the market...
a carbolicious base (french toast, belgian waffle, pancake, crepe) with fresh seasonal non-melon fruit and matching fruit sauce, and real whipped cream. tea, earl grey, hot, with honey. dense peppery scrapple cooked crispy on the outside with real maple syrup. fresh-squeezed orange juice.
3) You must cook a full dinner. You may use only one spice (garlic & onions don't count -- they are vegetables). Which spice is it?
salt. i limit its use, but i can't pretend to eliminate it. it's vital.
4) What was your favorite Easter candy as a kid, and has that changed?
peeps. now that you can get peeps all year, Cadbury cream eggs.
5) Jedi or Sith? Why?
Sith. since the celibacy/attachment thing is canon, i fail at Jedi. some people have more value to me than others. (it's not about getting laid; i would save my niece before even a good president.) using my anger works pretty damn well. i like red lightsabers. zappity zappity choke choke.
EDIT: more about scrapple. and yes, my dad's family sometimes calls it pawn haas.

Date: 2006-04-27 06:40 pm (UTC)1) I have known you to sing and to quilt. What other creative things do you do of which I'm unaware?
2) Top five favorite actors? Reasons for those choices?
3) How do you feel about snakes?
4) What's the last book you read and what'd you think about it?
5) Favorite sound?
Oh and, um, sure, hit me. I promise to answer questions quicker than I did last time. Honest.

Date: 2006-05-02 12:20 am (UTC)2) it's very difficult for me to buy a one-piece swimsuit that fits me, and salespeople are often near-belligerant when i tell them that sizing up is not equivalent to long. do you have a difficult clothing item that you'd rather not do without?
3) tell me about a book you've read that your friends loved, but did nothing for you.
4) if you do get career retraining, what would you like to learn to do?
5) if you were to leave Seattle, would it be back to NYC or would you just go wherever you could find a job?
Scrapple, more like....
Date: 2006-04-27 07:18 pm (UTC)I love how Wiki (and related articles) refer(s)s to it as America's first pork product invention. Such pride we can take in desperation and hunger.
(heading off someone's accusation of pedantry) Because no-one ate pigs here before the 1700s. Nope, not at all.
Scrapple is a horryfiying variation on head cheese that I am still trying to excise from my memories a good 30 years after tasting it.
Yeeeuch
Re: Scrapple, more like....
Date: 2006-04-27 07:22 pm (UTC)there is definitely bad scrapple in the world; good scrapple should basically taste like good breakfast sausage.
i also admit freely that i desire it because it is a regional food of my childhood that is slowly disappearing, and i'm unlikely to be butchering my own hog and boiling down the leavings in a giant cauldron any time soon.

4) did you have your kids with drugs, without drugs, or by c-section?

Date: 2006-05-02 01:07 am (UTC)2) it seems like you're making adjustments and compromises as needed as you plan your wedding. what is one thing you will not budge on and why?
3) how would you react if
4) if you bought a place in Seattle, what's your ideal neighborhood?
5) has living over a grocery store made your diet more or less healthy?
