Finally Friday

[kybearfuzz]

It's been a long week. I'm acting supervisor for my office this week and next and it has been one hectic week. This might explain some of the napping I've done over the last few days. There will likely be a bit of that this weekend too.

This month is all about questions. I'm going to skip the question meme going about, but here's a few fun ones for the masses to answer:

1. If you went on American Idol, what would Simon most likely tell you? Paula?
   
2. Would you rather be able to read minds or see the future?
   
3. If you had a twin, what do you think his or her name would be?
   
4. What is the most exotic animal you've ever touched or held?
   
5. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
   
6. If you could play a sport professionally, which would it be?
   
7. Through some bizarre time travel experiment you appear in ancient Rome and are worshipped as a god... the god of what?
   
8. Back hair on a guy, sexy or not?
   
9. Who had the funniest name in your school or college?
   
10. Do you have a food allergy?

My Answers

1. If you went on American Idol, what would Simon most likely tell you? Paula?
   Simon would say, "Pure Rubbish! Does your mother know you're here?" Paula would say (after she stopped dancing), "Who are you? Where am I?"
   
2. Would you rather be able to read minds or see the future?
   I think reading minds would be better, I certainly could do my job better and faster, provided I could turn it on and off.
   
3. If you had a twin, what do you think his or her name would be?
   Joe, obviously
   
4. What is the most exotic animal you've ever touched or held?
   I've always wanted to pet a tiger, but I guess the strangest was a ferret...(no comments!)
   
5. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
   I originally wanted to be a veterinarian, but then a dog bit me and the dream fell apart.
   
6. If you could play a sport professionally, which would it be?
   Tennis
   
7. Through some bizarre time travel experiment you appear in ancient Rome and are worshipped as a god... the god of what?
   Jeff, the god of biscuits
   
8. Back hair on a guy, sexy or not?
   On a nice broad shouldered guy, I think back fur is very sexy
   
9. Who had the funniest name in your school or college?
   I went to college with a Mike Hunt (and he was cute as heck)
   
10. Do you have a food allergy?
    Not that I know of, though when I eat at the Macaroni Grill, there is something in the sauces there that makes me double over.

Oh come on, Paula would at least tell you how great you look. *G* And of course, Randy would have called you "pitchy". ;)

Oh and totally off-topic, but your mood icons reminded me: I've been rereading Leonard and Larry lately and and still sad that 1) it ended and 2) that I never got my hands on the third collection (I have 1, 2, and 4).

Simon: "I'm sorry, but this isn't Karaoke night at the local bear bar."
Paula: "Simon, you are sucha jerk....wait, what's a bear bar?"

Definitely read minds. I would be able to do a lot more by reading minds. Knowing the future and being unable to change it would suck.

Hmm..my parents would probably have named him Sergio since that is my younger brother's name or Margaret which is my younger sister's name.
What is the most exotic animal you've ever touched or held?
I don't know. Probably an alligator...

An underwater archaeologist. I wanted to find treasures on the ocena floor and sail the ocean. I then wanted to be a photojournalist and take all these wonderful photos in exotic locations.
If you could play a sport professionally, which would it be?
Hmmm...I play a little rugby, but I'm not I'd want to play it professionally (ouch). In high school, I played track and field and tennis. So, I'd probably say tennis.

Miguel, the god of facial hair. LOL

Body hair in general is pretty sexy.

Even though my week cleared up and it turned out this morning that I could have visited Cincinnati, perhaps its for the best I don't come since you'll be napping the weekend away. *grins*


1. If you went on American Idol, what would Simon most likely tell you? Paula?
Simon would say, "Dear God man, is there anyway we can sew your lips shut so you can never do that again?" Paula would laugh and go, "You tried! That's soooo sweeeet."

2. Would you rather be able to read minds or see the future?
I'd say read minds. If I could see the future, my illusions of free will would go out the door, and I'd get depressed that nothing would surprise me anymore. Although I *would* use my powers to win Powerball. Hee.

3. If you had a twin, what do you think his or her name would be?
My parents would have given the twin an "M" name like me. Something like "Mark" or "Martin."

I once touched some rare exotic african bird. Obviously it didn't affect me too much because I can't remember anything else.

5. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
The boring stuff. A doctor, lawyer or scientist. I ended up being a pseudo-scientist for a number of years, almost became a doctor and ended up being lawyer because the path of least resistance bekoned me with its lovely billable hour system!

6. If you could play a sport professionally, which would it be?
Baseball. There's something very American and calming about it.

7. Through some bizarre time travel experiment you appear in ancient Rome and are worshipped as a god... the god of what?
I'd be the God of Snark. Oh yes.

8. Back hair on a guy, sexy or not?
Sexy. Especially on a guy with broad shoulders.

9. Who had the funniest name in your school or college?
There was a guy in college with the name Wang Suc. I sooooo felt bad for him.

10. Do you have a food allergy?
No, although occasionally heavy cream sauces make my tummy hurt.

[jprtoronto.livejournal.com]

1. Simon -- is this a joke. Seriously is Ashton Kutcher around. Paula -- I can't sleep with you so I don't care
2. Minds baby! That way I know who finds me hot and wants to have sex with me -- cuts down on all the nasty leg work/conversation
3. Skippy
4. Manta Ray in Vegas
5. A Superhero
6. Curling or Bowling (no seriously quit laughing)
7. God Of Feeling Good/Television
8. Depends on the guy
9. Like another poster I went to school with a Mike Hunt as well
10. Cheese! (okay not really I just hate cheese)

Back hair on a guy, sexy or not?

Depends on the guy; better on beefier guys.

Tammy Friend had the best name...she HAD to be a cheerleader. Though one girl named Roberta was nicknamed was "Booty".

Do you have a food allergy?

None that I'm aware of.

1. They'd most definitely tell me that my singing is as flat as an ironing board
2. Reading minds would be more practical I think. I like surprises :)
3. I'm afraid it would be Conrad. That's what my mother was going to call my sister if she'd been a boy.
4. I rode an elefant in the jungle in Thailand. I also had a python wrapped around me once.
5. The Pope :( Until I was about 8 or 9 I seriously wanted to be the pope
6. I'd love to be an extreme snowboarder - but one who is so good he doesn't get hurt
7. The god of Coke (assuming they had it back then)
8. OMG - VERY sexy on a broad back.
9. Nobody in my year, but there was a Brian O'Brian in my brother's class and sisters in my uni called Gethin Dick and Helda Dick.
10. Yes, there is some spice like cumin which makes my throat swell up. But it only happens rarely so I never actually found out what it is.

My Take...

[phenryss.livejournal.com]

1. If you went on American Idol, what would Simon most likely tell you? Paula? Simon : Oh My God...roosters have more talent!!! Paula : Wow...you have great...personality...*cries*
2. Would you rather be able to read minds or see the future? Both of these are actually scary powers to have. I think reading minds is a lesser evil to have.
3. If you had a twin, what do you think his or her name would be? His name would be Michael...or something Biblical...bleh boring!
4. What is the most exotic animal you've ever touched or held? Well I touched a rattle snake and HATED IT. Most exotic that I have had the chance to see would be a pack of Bison on the way back up to AK.
5. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Simple, a comic book artist.
6. If you could play a sport professionally, which would it be? Soccer
7. Through some bizarre time travel experiment you appear in ancient Rome and are worshipped as a god... the god of what? Probably Gluttony! Think Bacchus like.
8. Back hair on a guy, sexy or not? Since I fall into the category...sexy!! I hope...*cries*
9. Who had the funniest name in your school or college? Not intentionally funny, but we had Russian twins in my high school. Igor and Oleg. One latter changed his name to Edward after school...both are lawyers!!
10. Do you have a food allergy? Yes, CORN!! You know how hard it is to NOT eat something that has corn in it? Corn startch, corn syrup...argh! Needless to say I pick and choose my willingness to deal with this.

Hugs and thanks for asking!
