It Is All About Meme

I just did a Meme a week ago thinking I was done with them forever, but I received this one as part of an award, & I love to receive awards. Plus, the rules were dictated… & I always play by the rules.


1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
Thank you to my new friend- the lovely & talented Philip in beautiful Hollywood, California


2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.


It is rather homey & twee & not at all my taste, but is an award, & I do appreciate it. I was hoping for a certain statue of a little gold man, but I will take what I can get.

3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.

Philip at Felix In Hollywood (check his fab blog out):

4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.

a. I have never been to a funeral. In fact, I went the first 40 years of my life without ever seeing a dead person, & then on September 15th 1994, I saw 2 dead people within 2 hours.

b. I have appeared in over 150 full stage productions, 12 films, a score of print ads & 50+ voice-overs. I have worked with some major talents & important directors… & yet I walked away from it all 15 years ago when I inexplicably developed debilitating stage fright.

c. I studied piano from ages 6 to 17 & I studied & can still play the string bass.



d. I have no fear of spiders, snakes, bugs, water or the dark… but I am so frightened of hypodermic needles & syringes that I can pass out from looking at a picture of them.

e. I have been to 49 states (sorry, Alaska!) & 8 foreign countries.




f. L.A., circa 1974... I had sex, in the back of a limo, with a major singer/show biz personality. I won’t say who, but I have never been able to hear MOON RIVER & feel the same way again. Unfortunately, this is not my only starfuck story, but you can’t give it all away in a single meem.

g. Except for crabs ( thanks, Stanley!), I have never had an STD, despite being quite in-touch with my inner-slut.

5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers and post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
I am sorry, but really, it is because I love you & your blogs:

Will @ http://designerblog.blogspot.com/

Mark @ http://talesofthesissy.blogspot.com/

The elusive, but always lovely- Al @ http://spiritofsaintlewis.blogspot.com/

Howard @ http://soundtracktomyday.blogspot.com/

Larry @ http://www.patentlyqueer.com/

6. Someone forget to post rule 6

7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.
OK, I did it. I was thinking that the 7 chosen would just stop by & visit my place, but I said that I would follow the rules.

What If?... The Meme


Butch (1993-2007)  He was loved.

I have not done a meme in ages. This was is from my friend Larry in Ohio:

1. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up?

Pat Robertson, He is absolute evil incarnate.

2. You can flip a switch that will wipe any band or musical artist out of existence. Which one will it be?

Oh, that seems so mean; I don’t think I could do that…oh wait: Whitney Huston.

3. Who would you really like to just punch in the face?

The guy on the MAX that called me a fag

4. What is your favorite cheese?

Fresh Buffalo Mozzarella

5. You can only have one kind of sandwich. Every sandwich ingredient known to humankind is at your immediate disposal. What kind will you make?

Roasted vegetables: peppers, eggplant, pepperoncini, zucchini, tomato, arugula, with goat cheese on toasted Ciabata.

Alec Baldwin, & there would be no sleeping

7. You have the opportunity to sleep with the music celebrity of your choice. Who do you pick?

Sting… 20 hours of tantric experiences

8. Now that you’ve slept with two different people in a row, you seem to be having an excellent day because you just came across a hundred-dollar bill on the sidewalk. Holy shit, a hundred bucks! How are you gonna spend it?

I would hand it over to the Husband & say’ “have some fun on me”

9. You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere. You have to depart right now. Where are you gonna go?

Sydney, where it is high summer

10. Upon arrival to the aforementioned location, you get off the plane and discover another hundred-dollar bill. Shit! Now that you are in the new location, what are you gonna do?

I would treat some Aussie Beach bum to cocktails.

11. An angel appears out of Heaven and offers you a lifetime supply of the alcoholic beverage of your choice. It is…?

Veuve Clicquot

12. Rufus appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there?

1980s Seattle… re-live the best years of my life... without the mistakes

15. What is your favorite curse word?

Cocksuckingmotherfucker

16. One night you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren’t really doing anything, they’re just standing around your bed. What do you do?

Start singing Walk Like An Egyptian

17. Your house is on fire, holy shit! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don’t worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely. So what’s the item?

My framed letter from Louis XVI to his sister. A gift from Fay Wray.

18. The Angel of Death has descended upon you. Fortunately, the Angel of Death is pretty cool and in a good mood, and it offers you a half-hour to do whatever you want before you bite it. Whatcha gonna do in that half-hour?

Smoke a joint & watch a DVR-ed Chelsea Lately from the night before

19. You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what’s even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What’s it gonna be?

Stop time, at will.

20. You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?

August 17th 2007, the moment my dog Butch died. I have never recovered.

Canada, Vancouver BC

23. This question still counts, even for those of you who are under age. Check it out. You have been eternally banned from every single bar in the world except for ONE. Which one is it gonna be?

Splash

24. Hopefully you didn’t mention this in the super-powers question…. If you did, then we’ll just expand on that. Check it out… Suddenly, you have gained the ability to FLOAT!!! Whose house are you going to float to first, and be like “Dude, check it out… I can FLOAT!”?

I already have the ability to float. There would not be anyone to impress.

25. The constant absorption of magical moonbeams mixed with the radioactive vegetables you consumed earlier has given you the ability to resurrect the dead famous-person of your choice. So which celebrity will you bring back to life?

Jesus Christ, & ask- “wow, what is it like to be resurrected 2 times?!?, & by me no less?... no, never mind, I choose Bea Arthur… or Noel Coward.

26. The Celestial Gates of Beyond have opened, much to your surprise because you didn’t think such a thing existed. Death appears. As it turns out, Death is actually a pretty cool entity, and happens to be in a fantastic mood. Death offers to return the friend/family-member/person, etc. of your choice to the living world. Who will you bring back?

Butch. Oh never mind, I couldn't go through it twice.

27. What’s your theme song?

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

It Is An Honor Just To Be Nominated...


I was tagged by bloogers extraordinaire- Bob at I Should Be Laughing & the lovely & charming MRPENEE with this distinctive award & challenging meme. The instructions are to list 7 of your personality traits as evidenced by your blog & then pass it on to 7 other bloggers of note. Well, my life is an open book, so:

1. I am a control freak: alphabetized & categorized books & CDs, color coded closet (darks to lights- solids to patterns), house swept, dusted & put in order on a daily basis, order-order-order! I love to make lists.

2. I am a worrier, my very least attractive trait. The Husband's psychic, knowing nothing about me, announced to him that being a worrier would be my undoing. I invent scenarios that have not happened & may not happen. I worry about the state of the planet, the possibility of the end of the world as we know it; I worry about money & my job & the Husband's job, I worry about the health of the Husband & the canines...to say nothing about being freaked out by every little cough. I worry about conservative right wing religious extremists & the possibility that they may get their way. I worry about who will get Oscar nominations. I worry that readers will give up on my blog. I worry that I worry too much.

3. I am generous: I freely & easily take care of my family & friends with time, energy & money. I give away books, clothing & furniture. I have been known to hand off an item of clothing when someone comments on how much they like it. I give money to panhandlers & beggars. I give to charities & causes. I believe in the Christian adage of "if a man sues you for your shirt...give him your coat off your back as well". I take to heart the idea that we are all here to take care of each other. Too bad so very many "Christians" don't feel this way.

4. I am pretty & witty & gay: I have a distinctive, interesting & original sense of humor, by turns urbane-witty-sophisticated & silly-slapstick-gross out. I am equal parts Noel Coward & Three Stooges. I worship Woody Allen & Fran Lebowitz & Kathy Griffin & Jack Ass. I deal in irony, satire & camp. I think my sense of humor is my defining personality trait.

5. Gluttony...I am given to overdoing it: actually, not so much with food, even pizza. But, mostly in my life- "if it feels good, more is even gooder". Booze, drugs, shopping, working, exercise, sex... I have overdone them all & I have to watch myself closely & temper my behavior, or possibly perish.

6. I am a curmudgeon: I am VERY much in touch with my inner grouch & I don't suffer fools gladly. To a fault. The Husband is always telling me that it is not my job to set the world straight. I disagree with him... apparently it is my job.

7. I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast, I fall in love too terribly fast for love to ever last. My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been FOOLED in the past, & still, I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast. Oh... & I am very much in touch with my inner slut.


Thanks for the award MRPENEE & Bob. I pass it on to:
