question of the dayPosted Jun-15-08 21:10:46 PDT Updated Jun-26-08 20:42:05 PDT No more What did I learn? Now question of the day. It will change daily.
Question of the day? How did you spending "Happy George Michael's Birthday " Day ? That's not the question. Hey, So here's the question of the day: Yesterday's question didn't make a lot of sense so I reworded it. So, I get my crappy paperclip in the mail only hey, it's not crappy at all! It is a perfectly nice paper clip. Unbent and no real visible scratches. My question is: My paper clip doesn't look anything like the photo on the advert. It is not the crappy bent paperclip that I bought. It is a perfectly nice, very ordinary paperclip. Do I return this paperclip? Is it defective in its nice normal appearance and existence? It's not the paperclip I bargained for. I bought a crappy, bent paperclip full of unique bends. I thought perhaps it needed to be assembled but there weren't any directions to do so. not even those picture ones without words. So? If you bought twisty and bent and you got nice and normal? Would my nice and normal and very useful new paper clip now be considered defective? Did it lose it's intrinsic value as a metaphor when by not being twisty? Did it lose it's value? Should I return it as defective because it's not crappy and pizz as advertised? Or should I put my own twisty bends it it? If I do put the twisty bends in it will I be getting the same paperclip? I need to cease being celebate. I need oh about two weeks of rest and relaxation. Lots of "grown up" activity and conversation. I might even need to get tipsy. I need to hear the sound of someone elses breathing in my ear. That's not going to happen from the looks of it. I need to get my groove on so that I can get my groove back. LOL This is certainly a "twist" in the story that I didn't anticipate. And I really shouldn't write these questions when I'm half asleep. Hmm. You are due another question. To be fair. I don't want to write today. Normally I'm happy to do so but today I'm distracted. Nothing funny. Just a tried and true. What's your earliest vivid memory? Not the snapshot kind but the fully formed.
I don't know if there's a story in that. Better stick to Alice and her epic search for mobyDick. Just so you'll know. Alice may be frightened of alot of things but physical intimacy isn't one of them. Emotional intimacy has her jump and twitch but not physical intimacy. How lovely for the feeling of lips to ear. The feeling of breath to mind. The electric feeling of finger tip to lip. The brush of a kiss at the nape of a neck. It's the language of the mind emotion. Teaches patience and strength. It lets the sensation of phyiscal stimuli wash over you. A conditioned response of the best kind. If Pavlov's dogs salivated at the sight of food, his mistress writhed to the sound of his voice and quivered at the suggestion of his touch. LOL I told you that the word "quiver" was in one of this weeks posts. Now since I can't I'm going to watch dance. Hmm. Let's see perfect date. Modern dance with vibrant sound and color. Stephen Grapelli. Or Brazillian. Or an intermixing of melody and ambient sound. Click, click POP ccclllicke. Clandestine touching. Vibrating phones and inticing texting. Twitch. Quiver. Pop click mmmmm. A subway ride home in a packed subway. SRO. Face to face. Jostling like sardines. So close. First real intimacy of face to face. Wine to relax. Sparing. Circling. Close. Face to ear. Intense. Kiss. And kiss. And kiss... wow. I really do need to get out or write it down. Modern dance because the whole process of discovering intimacy with someone is a dance. Free form. Improvisational. A call and response. click pop ahhhhh. I'm not sure. It's been so long. But I hear it's like riding a bicycle. It come back to you with the right person. Fluid. The Japanese floating world. Wow. Fitting that dance should begin the evening and "dance" should continue the evening. Stay or go. I like stay. The feeling of another person invading my spaces. Like water flowing through me and through the hallways of my home and mind. Cereal in the morning. Bemused and sleepy. The test how easily they became apart of the rhythm of our worlds. I would love it if they sang. If they hummed to themselves in a most unconscious way. And smile. The ease in which they laugh. And hug too. But not the smothering, possessive kind that engulfs like some stale perfume no. Funny, As much as I love physical contract I don't like being held for long periods of time. Is that weird? No it's finding the coffee on your own, letting out the dog, turning on the radio. The smell of ripe peaches in the farmer's market. Sun coming through the window of the bathroom. Saturday morning in the farmers market. Friday night out. Monday morning self posessed. Interdependant but not dependent. So I get my crappy paperclip only hey, it's not crappy. It's not bent. It's in great shape for a used paper clip. Should I demand my money back because it 1) doesn't look like the bent paper clip on the advert. Does this make the paper clip, because the paperclip is in fact not bent and crappy but is instead in good shape, damaged? Love to have your opinion.
---------- If I actually get in the car and go somewhere or walk somewhere, I will send you a Postcards from the Road of Life. Just so you'll know. Otherwise, there is always a Post Card from the Boonies of Life because after all, no matter where you go, there you are. Just breathing means somethings happening in your life. My job? To make it interesting. Because I'm a writer. An eBay Blogland writer. Naw :P New song added to playlist. Go figure out which one and why. Do you have these songs on your playlist... New question of the day added late tonight. I have to think a new one up. Back to the Blogs
>>>>>Other Questions of the Day. There are three questions of the day because it's the weekend and these are good weekend questions. If I don't get to post on Monday, this will give you a Monday question to tide you over until Tuesday. Don't read the first question. If you do you might not have anything to read on Monday. It will spoil your Question of the Day experience. Then you'll be angry with me or at the very least annoyed. I don't like that.
Okay. The question that is really for Monday but I'm posting now in case I don't get to post tomorrow and I know how much you look forward to this Question of the Day post and well I kind of like that in a weird and wanderful (intentional typo) way. And I kind of like these questions in a weird and wonderful way. And it's Sunday afternoon and raining so while I should be snogging, which between me and you I would rather be doing but I'm not due to "celebacy rules". And because I'm hoping that at least one of my gentle readers is a good lookin' fella that'll make my heart go. OOOOH and hopefully didn't read my Man Rant about how all men were unsuccessfully weaned as babies and therefore spend the rest of their lives trying to find "the great big, soft round things that made the pang in their stomach go away so they can roll over and go to sleep" thingy they lost so tragically as babies. Women just get weaned and guilted. That's another rant though where I chat about anorexia, poor body image and guilt. Women don't look for "for the big round soft things that made the pang in their stomach go away so the can roll over and go to sleep" thingy. Some women are so successfully weaned that they actually have a negative conditioning to breasts. They certainly weren't able to joyfully experience the full belly portion either. Nope. They either gave that up when puberty meant being flat chested was going to be a life style and became fashion models who make women feel even more guilty because they aren't thin. Or they had those "great big round soft things" and spent the rest of their life time hoping that the guys they talk to would for once look up and notice they had a face. (and a brain as well) See I'm a conflicted feminist. I'm going to fuss and rightfully so about the stupidity of body image and how alot of it comes from unsucessfully weaning our wee babes. That's the feminist part. But then I'm going to hope like heck that there is a good lookin' fella reading this who will think, "Ah, a humorous female who likes polka dot plunge bras and can write. And notices that I have a brain too."D Oh and points if you have a sense of humor and folks are always stopping you to say,"Geeze, you look just like George Clooney." That would be the conflicted part. I would say "...just like Tv's Craig Ferguson..." Thing is I like to keep my "... admittedly shallow, hubba hubba, reaction to great looking men who are smart funny and have a brain and are actually funny without pandering to the TwoP." from my crushes on "shalow but admittedly good looking and sexy men who while they are smart and funny and do have a brain and are actually funny but who unfortunately act like TwoP's b #tch". Sorry did I actually write that? Yes. I did because I still hope that the later will snap outta it and show those (cough) ladies of Twop who's the boss. I'd just love that 'cause I like him all, " I can't live by your rules man" with the tossled hair. The tossled GREY hair by the way. I LIKE the grey hair but then I like grown men too. Not like the ones in the commercial. Those guys look like the men's underwear photos in the old mail order catalogs. Hmmm. Cheesy. I just like the salt and pepper, tossel headed, whip cracking, seriously intense, tie loosened, shoeless feet on the desk, seriously sex, even better than Geoge Clooney, T'v's Craig Ferguson. Won't even begin to tell you what the suit and loosened tie does for my day. Yummy. I just hate it when he acts like TwoP's B #tch. But I LURVE it when he's all butch. Maybe he should bring back the whip crack. :D Until he does? Separate catagory.
While we're are on this subject, did I tell you I thought Craig Ferguson was the realists George Clooney. I'm not fixated on the man. I just liked that sentence as a quote. That and the other one about him being "The thinking woman's eye candy. " That's a good one too. Thing is George Clooney is just so perfect. Looking at him- it's like looking into the sun. Just too overwhelming an experience. Now this "new and improved Craig Ferguson? The one like was on last Friday?. He's like if you took George Clooney, put him out into the sun (and rain) all summer. Oh and you also dunked him in the Citty Pool all summer (the one with so much chlorine that your eyes start to water before you get in the door -not to be confused with "Spicey Dragon Peaches's pool.). Then if you didn't moisturize him at all or put sunscreen on him and then left him outside without hosing him down first. That kind of Craig Ferguson. You know that kind of "driftwoody" look. Anyway if you did this to George Clooney? The result would be last week's Tv's Craig Ferguson. A "driftwoody" version of George Clooney. Because, you see, George Clooney's other address is Mt. Olympus (for alot of reasons ;D ). Last week's Craig Ferguson you might actually see at the Target. Definately not Mt. Olympus address. But unlike George Clooney, last week's Mr. Ferguson is scalable. "Scalable" that is the correct word right? I mean it llike "climbable". Which is very much unlike George Clooney who'd leave us all breathless and in need of a hit of Oxygen and all when we got to the top. In comparison , last weeks Tv's Craig Ferguson would be a stroll. No Oxygen required. Well, I told you in "What did I learn tonight? Special Friday Edition" that I got all kinds of entertaining and writterly . :D Thanky. Thanky very much. Mmmmm. Now if we would just get that "I can't live by your rules man" version of Tv's CF back, I would be all kinds of satisfied and truthfully so would the ladies at TwoP. :D Makes us all kinda' quiver a bit. "Don't you just love that word, "quiver". No wait that's for next week's blog. Sorry. The question: (finally) If an unattractive woman charges 1 dollar for a kiss and a good lookiing woman asks for 3, how much should your smokin' hot, Playmate of the Year cousin Susan ask you for one?
It's a trick question. You did get that right?
Wait, that was today's question wasn't it. I did that on purpose cause I figured you were going to read the question that I asked you specifically NOT to read but you read it anyway just like I would have because we are just that kinda' person. Wait a second. You mean your not that kinda' person and you didn't read the question like I asked? Hurrah!!! Neither am I. IF IT"S SUNDAY? STOP READING!!!! NOW!!! Scroll down to the Note to Reader part. If it's Monday? Sorry. Here's the question for Monday that you're not to read now. Unless of course it's Monday. If that's the case, well, read away. So. How come folks who will lecture on the evils of eating a hamburger or "...want fries with that..." will also be the ones who can fill you in on the latest stuff on TV? I don't know the answer. I eat the hamburgers and watch the pop stuff on TV. Thought maybe you might know. Oh and incase you are in that demographic I listed above? You know. The "... admittedly shallow, hubba hubba reaction to, great looking men who are smart funny and have a brain and are actually funny without pandering to the TwoP." That demographic. The one who actually thinks buying the paper clip off ebay as her last eBay purchase was funny? That guy? Email me.
Note to reader. That third question is now in the Past Questions of the Day section because today is now Sunday and yesterday is after all the past so I put the Saturday question in the past because that Saturday IS in the past and well that's where it belongs. And no I don't care if that bothers you because of the gramatical/syntax inconsistences between the sentence of the first paragraph and that of this paragraph. I don't care. Nor do I care if I misspelled inconsistancy. II DON'T CARE. What are you like in bed? You probably micromanage every move. Forget it. I don't want to know what you're like. It might throw me off sex forever. After all this celebacy thing is a temporarry situation. At least I hope so.
Past Questions of the Day (newest first)
Today is George Michael's birthday. How will you spend "Happy George Michael's Birthday " Day ? I'm celebrating by wearing a funny hat and watching The Late Late Show with Tv's Craig Ferguson. This is after all Mr. Ferguson's first OFFICIAL "Happy George Michael's Birthday" Day as a US citizen. Let's try and make it special. Let's all send him an email wishing him a happy day. LOL Hugs to you. Auther Ann
Tuesday's Question of the Day. Did you know that there is a sci-fi movie called The Phantom Planet. "...Oh, everybody's hair was pink from Do thePanic by Phantom Planet from the album Raise the Dead Back up. Back way back up and tell me if there is a theme for the 24 June, 08 TLLSwithTCf. I think so. Going try to get some sleep. Then think on it. Also Do the Panic reminds me of The Hustle. The instrumental disco tune from the 1970's. You could over lay them. Or do a call and response. Do the Panic as the call. The Hustle would be the response.
Dilemma! I spent .99cents (1 dollar SH) on a " bent paper clip in pizz poor condition...complete with scratches...". I bought insurance. Paid for it via PayPal. Sent an email of notification that I had paid for said paper clip. And guess what. I have not yet received my paper clip. Should I be worried? Got my paper clip. LOL.
* Considering how expensive it is to date and how fragile those blow up dolls are, do you think that buying the Japanese girlfriend robot doll is a wise investment?
*What do you do if your life is as boring and annoying as "...drip...drip.." dripping water from the tap? How do you cheer up?
