I had the pleasure of being interviewed by the lovely, creative and talented Sarcomical. It was so much fun! Y’all should click and give her site some love, but for those who have fatigued mouse fingers or are just hung over from drinking green beer yesterday, I’ll post it here.

Before you skip on down through the questions, is there anything she missed or that you are wondering about me? Any question about me that are burning inside you like a scorching case of herpes?

I have a lot of new readers and my life can be a little “HUH?” (and in some cases, “WTF”?) so I want to throw that out there. Usually these open calls involve a sad, lonely comments section with crickets chirping forlornly in the background.

Sigh.

Let me know and I’ll pipe up.

My First Contribution to the Great Interview Experiment: Interviewing Loralee

As part of my participation in Neil’s Great Interview Experiment, I’m not only honor-bound to be an interviewEE, but also an interviewER. I was lucky enough to be able to interview the lovely, bright, and interesting Loralee, and at long last am able to post my (fantastic, imaginative, intelligent) questions and her (hilarious, sweet, revealing) answers.

Et voila:

1. Let’s start light. If you could ask Continue reading →

Yup. I’m still doing Peep of the Week. I had company last week and I just took down my button because it kinda sucked.I’ll try to get something else as far as blog bling goes, but even if I don’t I can still give a hearty, “I love you and want to make out with your blog because you made me laugh!”shout out because it is the thought that counts, right?

Right.

This week’s “Peep” goes to DOUG for his comment on my post “Hi Low’s” regarding dinner time rituals.

My dinnertime ritual? Sitting in front of the computer in my underwear, trying to not spill rice onto my chest. I then pass out and take a two hour nap, waking up in a pile of my own drool.

You asked.

However, I don’t think you’ll be using my idea to shake up the dinner ritual. But wouldn’t it be interesting if you tried it for a night?

No?

Oh well.

There’s nothing else I can offer.

Sorry.

Dougie cracks me the freak UP. He understands the rational of having an acceptable breakfast consist of Diet Coke and Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups.

It’s also a total complement when a fabulous gay man finds you hot. It just IS.

(Not that THAT had ANYTHING to do with my decision. Or anything. Hee.)

If he lived by me I am sure that he would be at my house hanging out a lot. Seriously, I want to put him in my purse and take him home with me. If he refused, I would probably be forced to kidnap him, store him in an old well and say things like “It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.”

Hopefully, that wouldn’t interfere TOO much with us being BFF’S.

Right???

Everyone loves some bloggy love and I got a “Dose” of it this week!

Angella awarded me a “Daily Dose” award and I am supposed to pay it forward to two blogs I rush to daily.

When you have a Google reader as packed as I do with awesomeness, it’s hard to narrow it down to two, but here it goes:

First up is Redneck Mommy. Oh, how I love this woman. She slays me. I know she won a “Bloggy” award, but really, that pales in comparison to this honor. Right, Tanis? RIGHT??!

And second, Casey, from “Moosh in Indy”. One of the most interesting and awesome bloggity dates on the planet. Really, I am mainly awarding her in the hope of GETTING TO EAT ONE OF HER AWESOME CAKES!

It’s almost a life goal at this point.

I aim high, I know.

Sigh.

I haven’t been around because I am pretty sick. I’m not surprised, everyone around me has been ill lately. I look awesome ‘possum, don’t you think? Not at all like someone that has been giving out $5 blowjobs and using dirty needles in a rat-infested alley, right?

The Messiah closed on Friday.I don’t think I have ever felt so awful during a performance. I woke up really sick in the morning. I’m used to feeling like I’ve been run over by a train, a semi and a couple of tractor trailers in the mornings, but this was “Fever, sinus, sore throat” SICK. I also kept violently sneezing which killed my back.

It was an hour drive to the city we performed in. I am glad that my passengers, Mary Ellen and Rachel survived. As she filled the role of “Diva Dress Fluffer“, I let Mary Ellen share my dressing room. I put off getting into my dress until the last possible second and I spent a lot of my time curled up in on the floor of my dressing room in the fetal position. I had enough painkillers and cold meds to kill a horse and I still felt like major suck. I can’t complain, though. Even though I felt like shit, I managed to look pretty damn good.It wasn’t easy getting the above photo. I have weird friends.
I can’t bitch too much. I blame myself.

I don’t know how I did it, but I managed to sing OK. That was important to me because this is the performance they recorded the DVD they produce annually. I’ll post it when I receive it, but it won’t be for a few months yet.

I even had some dear friends and family in the audience and I will be forever grateful that they cared enough about me to come. It said a lot about my relationships with the amazing people.

While it wasn’t as great as last weeks performance I was still happy with it and it was still such an amazing experience. I am so glad I got to do it and am looking forward to next year.
