Sheila’s Alphabet

A- Available or Single? Ha – I like this one. My answer is Yes.
B- Best Friend. I do not have only one. I’m lucky that way. There’s also a certain Hitachi product that I consider a soulmate.
C- Cake or Pie. Neither. Sorry to be contrary.
D- Drink of Choice. ginger ale
E- Essential Item. these days it’s my camera
F- Favorite Color. purple
G- Gummi Bears or Worms. Neither. Again, sorry to be contrary. If you said “sour patch kids” I’d be all over that shit.
H- Hometown. It’s in Rhode Island. I was born in Boston – I’ve lived all over the country – but my heart, as they say, is in Rhode Island.
I- Indulgence. My massage guy. Bless him.
J- January or February. January. This makes me think of a quote from Mitchell during college. We were having a bad month. It was February. We sat in the Bess Eaton coffee place on campus, bitching and moaning, and Mitchell said, in a tone of venom, “February is the shortest month. But it never fucking ends.”
K- Kids. What about them? Cashel’s my favorite kid.
L- Life is incomplete without… friends and family
M- Marriage Date. Oh no, no. I ain’t playing that game. My marriage date should have been 8 years ago, so no. I am not playing that game.
N- Number of Siblings? 3
O- Oranges or Apples? apples – but only Granny Smith. I won’t eat red apples. I am so picky. It’s ridiculous.
P- Phobias/Fears. “s”es
Q- Favorite Quote. “Make voyages. Attempt them. That’s all there is.” — Tennesse Williams, Camino Real
R- Reasons to smile. health, sunshine, phone calls with friends, music I like, my Swiffer … you know. So much. I’m trying to look on the bright side these days.
S- Season. Late fall. Give me grey dreary weather and I come alive.
T- Tag Three. I do not tag. Play if you want.
U- Unknown Fact About Me. Even if it’s 120 degrees out, I will not go to sleep without socks on. Even if I’m sleeping in my underwear, or less, I will wear socks. Sleeping without socks is flat out wrong and should be illegal.
V – Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animals. Oppressor of Animals.
W- Worst Habit. I don’t believe in myself.
X – X-rays or Ultrasounds. I’d rather not choose, if my health is involved.
Y- Your Favorite Foods. If I could eat Mexican food every day and not blow up like a balloon, I would. I love burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, margaritas, chips, salsa, guacamole … love it all. (In related news …)
Z- Zodiac. Sagittarius. A textbook case.

I got this from Belledame.

    Hahahahahaha! And it’s even funnier to me because I know you’re totally serious. hahaha!

    It’s like a straw poll question.

  3. Emily says:

    Cullen,
    Hahaha. Yeah, kind of like asking “are you a sensible omnivore or do you just selectively murder innocent vegetables?”

    Sheila,
    When you write “Sleeping without socks is flat out wrong and should be illegal,” what does the punishment entail for breaking the law exactly? I’d hardly be a repeat offender, since sleep isn’t something I could even consider doing with socks on. I can barely do it with earrings on….

    i can’t sleep with socks on; it drives me batty.

    Regarding your zodiac sign and you being a textbook case of a Sagittarius: It is odd how these things are sometimes right on. In fact it scares me a little when I read shit like this: Cancerians have a retentive memory, particularly for emotionally laden events which they can recall in detail for years afterwards. they are strongly governed by childhood memories and since they live intensely in the past in memory and in the future in imagination, a chance meeting with someone for whom they had an unrequited love, even if they thought they had conquered the feeling, will easily rouse the emotion all over again.

    And this: DISLIKES
    * Aggravating situations (yes)
    * Failure (yes)
    * Opposition (yes)
    * Being told what to do (yes)
    * Advice (good or bad (yes)

    my wife has that same soul mate.

  7. red says:

    JV – HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  8. red says:

    Emily, Cullen – have you seen Notting Hill? There is SUCH a funny scene where he ends up on a date with a woman who is a “fruitarian”. She explains to him earnestly (and kind of angrily) that “we believe that all fruit is alive … so we only eat fruit that has already fallen from the tree.” Hugh Grant stares at her blankly – he is so hilarious – he gestures hesitantly at his peach cobbler – “So these peaches …” She finishes the sentence, “Have been murdered.”

    hahahahahaha

  9. Emily says:

    “How beastly.”

  10. red says:

    hahahahaha Exactly

  11. Emily says:

    Now that I remember it, Sheila, it’s carrots that were murdered in that film, not peaches.

  12. red says:

    Oh that’s right! Couldn’t remember! … I just remember her self-righteous kind of martyred look … with those little ponytails out of the side of her head, feeling self-righteously bad about the murdered vegetables. hee hee

  13. Emily says:

    And I was just thinking about the expression on Hugh Grant’s face as he makes the “beastly” remark. He obviously thinks she’s batshit and everything, but his response was so polite, like…”oh dear. I’ve just eaten a murder victim.”

  14. red says:

    hahahahahaha Right – like – he knows she’s a moron, but he’s too polite to just say “You’re a moron”.

  15. Cullen says:

    I saw parts of this for the first time the other day. I had it on while I was doing some cleaning. I did get to see the scene you mentioned. The “dinner was horrible” feeling afterwards was hilarious.
