So, okay, like I'm at Macy's at the Mall with my like best friend, my sister, Patty. And she is going to buy a whole shit load of clothes for Christmas Presents and for Herself. And of course, me. But before she buys anything, she wants to see what the discounts will be on said items.
So we go up to a counter and ask a Senior Citizen for help. We know she is an employee because she has that big white ID badge on.
Then, I spot "Macy's Water For Sale". I am so thirsty because it is so very hot in there. And the water is the going rate, if you're like buying it at a Casino in Atlantic City.
The employee scans each piece of clothing, and tells Patty what each item will be, and I tell her to please ring up the water that I am drinking. She scans the water.
Patty decides one blouse is still too expensive and tells the employee she is not interested in purchasing the blouse. But the employee rings up the blouse anyway. Patty tells her, and she gets all flustered. Now a line is beginning to form behind Patty and me. People in line. In the heat. Breathing heavily, and sighing deeply.
The employee starts to shake all over. I offer her my water to drink, which is about half empty. She just starts shaking, and rescanning all the clothes again. Now the water I am drinking is 3/4 empty. She grabs the bottle from me and states that she must scan it again. She begins dropping the clothes on the floor because she can't put them in the plastic bag fast enough. She asks me if I want the water in the bag. No Thanks, I answer. The water is all gone. I begin to question how long she is going to last, Macy's has just opened. Poor thing.
"Hey, what time is it?". "Are you cookin' beans?"...."Is Zorro On?.." Thanks, Dave for an excellent explanation for absolutely nothing making sense....

I'm getting there. I haven't done all the damage I could do but I've done quite a bit. I'm just over the border into the Evil Zone.
This guy reminds me of Ben Stiller
Are you evil? find out at Hilowitz.com
Because they include pictures, and I am very graphic....

Red Eyed Tree Frog
Ribbit. It's not easy being green, but I go at it with a thoughtfulness and good faith that others would do well to emulate. I'm peppy but subdued all at the same time, and manage to keep others at bay until you can judge their true intentions. Still, I'm a trusting person, albeit a tad boring at times.
What piece of photography are you?

Thank you, Hoopty, for giving me-yet another-informative view of myself!

![]() | If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Dmitri Shostakovich! I am a shy, nervous, unassuming, fidgety, and stuttery little person who began composing the same year I started music lessons of any sort. I wrote the first of my fifteen symphonies at age 18, and my second opera, "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District," when I was only 26. Unfortunately, Stalin hated the opera, and put me on the Enemy Of The People List for life. I nevertheless kept composing the works I wanted to write in private; some of my vocal cycles and 15 string quartets mock the Soviet System in notes. And I somehow was NOT killed in the process! And Harry Potter(c) glasses and broke them! Who would you be? Dead Russian Composer Personality Test |
Gee, I thought I looked like Claude Rains circa "Now, Voyager". I took this test via theothercheek.
I deleted the entry. "It served its purpose". Catholic Guilt got to me, yet again.....
But, I have to be honest...it was fun being "naughty" (snicker..).
p.s. I think I am being "hoopnitized"...
Said husband (who works for a "major" news network-"and don't you forget it") wants me to get rid of the entry below. He says I could be sued for defamation of character. Goto jail. Be handcuffed. By big guys. In uniforms.
So, should I, or shouldn't I? I mean, all I have to do is delete the entry....email me....link on the right....
The entry that was right here is gone....You can never see it again....nope....gone "forever"....

I have to admit--I am really impressed!
How the heck did he know what the inside of my brain looks like?
You are truly a Special Guy, Hoopty...Thank You So Very, Very Much!!
I just wanted to express a sincere Birthday wish to one of my favorite ladies, kd!!
For those in cyberspace who have no clue who she is (which is nearly impossible to imagine!), kd is the brains behind Surreally.
She has always been there for me!!! If we lived nearby, I am sure we would be close friends. She has actually answered my emails, which I find unimaginable because she is such a busy women! She works, has family, hobbies, and writes a dynamic site!
So, here's a toast of warm decaf from me to you on this early Wednesday morning! Have a Great Birthday, kd!!! Its your special day!!!

Okay, Jessica, here I go..
1. Online tests - you're moving beyond the simple fortune-cookie novelty of
it all by taking tests that draw on archetypes you aren't yet familiar with
(Reservoir Dogs, for example). What does that signify for you?
Philosophical exploration or fluffy time-waster?
Philosophical exploration. I'm always looking for a meaning in something. I still don't want to see "Reservoir Dogs"-even though it has received high praises-I am not into anything violent at this point in my life...
2. If you were Wonder Woman, how would you use your magic lasso?
I'd wrap it around me and make myself invisible...
3. What is your earliest memory?
Tying my shoes..
4. Do you have any strong beliefs that aren't easily provable or manifest?
(explain)
I believe in life after death...I believe in reincarnation. There are just too many people I have met who are "old souls", no matter what age they are..
5. Blossom, Buttercup, or Bubbles?
Here is that question again...I didn't know then, and I don't know now..are they drugs or dolls? Okay, I'll pick Buttercup, because it is the name of a horse I rode-right after I was knocked cold by a Championship Jumper. Also, it is the name of a little bud that we (as children) used to put under our chins. If our skin glowed yellow, it showed we liked butter.
6. You say you want to be an animator. What kind - cel, or 3D?
Why - what about animation floats your boat?
Cel-- to me it is softer. 3D can be cold and angry....
7. If you were stuck in the hospital for an extended stay, what would you
want friends to bring to you? (my husband knows to bring me meals from the
Hong Kong Flower Lounge in S.F. I swear that would cure any ill.)
Books of all kinds, Tabloids, magazines. If I were to be in the hospital, I would definitely want to escape from reality...
8. You're being sent to a remote island for an untold but very long stay.
This island has electricity, and as it would happen, a pretty sweet theater
and sound system. But you can only bring 5 cds and 5 dvds. What are they?
5 CDs: "Liberace Christmas" (don't laugh-that man could tickle the ivories..),Carole King: "Tapestry", Blood, Sweat,and Tears: "Child is Father to the Man", Madonna: "Ray of Light", The Moody Blues: "Greatest Hits".
5 DVDs: "LA Confidential", "The Verdict", "Xentropia", "Raise the Red Lantern", "Jean Cocteau's Beauty and The Beast"..
9. Oh and you can bring one book.
This is tough. I guess I could say the Bible. I tried but found it violent..which I don't want to read on an island..."Lord of the Flies" would be appropo.., but no. So, I'll say "To The Elephant Graveyard" which is a book I want to read...
10. What was your mission as a child? Not so much "what did you want to
be," but "what did you want to do."
I wanted to draw better than I currently did (which is what I want now).
11. OK, and what do you want to be when you grow up? (or if you're already
there, what is it?)
I am still growing up. I believe what Dylan said, "The Greatest Books haven't been written, The Greatest Songs haven't been sung". If we stop trying, we stop growing...I am constantly in a dynamic state...(which makes it hard to sleep..).
12. What do you think happens when we die?
The soul doesn't die, the body does..(which makes plastic surgery kind of stupid). I believe we keep coming back to this life until we learn and get it right...
13. What is love?
"A Funny Feeling.."
14. What's your favorite color? What does it evoke for you?
My favorite color is Blue. It gives me calmness.
15. And your favorite scent?
Vanilla.
