Annoying and NOSY mee-mee from Tracey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1.ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT? Scar on my knee from leaping out of a tree ONTO A ROCK in the playground at age 7.<\/p>\n

2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? A huge poster of Rick Springfield. No, just kidding. Let’s see. I will list everything I have on the wall of my main room:<\/p>\n

1. Painting done by my mother of a bucket on the edge of a maple tree.<\/p>\n

2. Framed 1916 Proclamation of Ireland<\/p>\n

3. Framed page from Book of Kells<\/p>\n

4. Huge framed old-time map of Ireland<\/p>\n

5. Shadow box filled with knick knacks from my entire life<\/p>\n

6. Little mirror with stained glass pieces surrounding it<\/p>\n

7. Black and white photo of John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands taken by the great Sam Shaw<\/p>\n

3. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN? 6 am? No idea. It’s been a huge problem for me, in terms of getting accurate astrological readings<\/p>\n

4. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW? What I want more than anything is not possible right now. So. A book advance. And a husband. But I’ll take the advance over the husband at this particular moment in time.<\/p>\n

5. WHAT DO YOU MISS? Lying with my head in M.’s lap, covered in blankets, watching some bullshit movie about aliens at 4 o’clock in the morning. And I have to be at work at 8:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

6. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION? This is kind of embarrassing, but whatevs. I was given a teensy tiny piece of beach glass by a man who was in love with me – years ago – years and years … and I swear that freakin’ piece of beach glass travels in state. When I travel, or move – that piece of beach glass is ON MY PERSON … I refuse to trust it to anyone else. It’s not like I’m pining for the man who gave it to me … or not really. But that piece of beach glass is literally precious to me. For my own sweet reasons, thankyouverymuch.<\/p>\n

7. HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5’6″<\/p>\n

8. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DAY? All the time. 3 pm is a particularly difficult time for me. I whiteknuckle it.<\/p>\n

9. WHAT\u00e2\u0080\u0099S YOUR WORST FEAR? Having my life look at 80 the way it looks now.<\/p>\n

10. WHAT KIND OF HAIR COLOR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX? Dark.<\/p>\n

11. WHAT ABOUT EYE COLOR? I’m a sucker for those crazy light-blue Irish eyes.<\/p>\n

12. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINK? Coffee.<\/p>\n

13. FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING? Pepperoni<\/p>\n

14. IF YOU COULD EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Barbecued ribs.<\/p>\n

15. FAVORITE COLOR OF ALL TIME? Wow. You’re a dramatic meme, aren’t you? I guess dark purple, but seriously, I’m not all “of all time” about it.<\/p>\n

16. HAVE YOU EVER EATEN A GOLDFISH? No, although I did consider eating fried worms<\/a>\"\" in 5th grade.<\/p>\n

17. WHAT WAS THE FIRST MEANINGFUL GIFT YOU EVER RECEIVED? My mother, for some unknown reason, gave me the soundtrack to Annie<\/i> (the original Broadway production) when I was 10 years old, and I’d say it seriously impacted my life in ways I can’t even count right now.<\/p>\n

18. DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH? Yup.<\/p>\n

19. FAVORITE CLOTHING BRAND? Max Studio. Seriously. If there’s a rack with Max Studio clothes within a 5 mile radius of me, I know it.<\/p>\n

20. WHAT KIND OF CAR DO YOU WANT? I am TOTALLY happy with my car right now. But a 67 Mustang would be freakin’ awesome.<\/p>\n

21. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING? Where the hell is he going? Is he off to ‘Nam? Is he an astronaut? If so then absolutely, I would fall in love. But leaving – as in: “I’m leaving because I would rather keep the dream of you intact, and although I love you I don’t think I could handle you on a day to day basis, and therefore I am going to marry this less-threatening woman who is a bit more conventional” then hell to the FUCK no.<\/p>\n

22. HAVE YOU BEEN OUT OF THE USA? Yes.<\/p>\n

23. YOUR WEAKNESSES? I find it difficult to turn down a taco.<\/p>\n

24. MET ANYONE FAMOUS? Yes. I should hope so, they’re family members.<\/p>\n

25. FIRST JOB? Well, babysitting. But my first “real” job was as a page at the local library. Best job ever. To this day.<\/p>\n

26. EVER DONE A PRANK CALL? Absolutely. Recently.<\/p>\n

27. DO YOU THINK EVERYONE OUT THERE HAS A SOUL MATE? Fuck you.<\/p>\n

28. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED THIS OUT? Talking to my mom.<\/p>\n

29. HAVE YOU EVER HAD SURGERY? No.<\/p>\n

30. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST? My skin. My humor. My friendship.<\/p>\n

31. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY? A book deal.<\/p>\n

32. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT? Fuck you.<\/p>\n

33. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My mother.<\/p>\n

34. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST TURN OFF WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX? Guys who don’t know how to have a conversation. The art of conversation is just that – an ART – and when I meet a man who knows how to have a conversation – listening, talking, anecdotes, knowing how to tell a story, knowing how to ADD and not belittle … I’m kinda toast. Cynicism is the hugest turnoff. And anyone whose MO is “been there, done that” – it’s all I can do to keep from yawning in their face.<\/p>\n

35. WHAT IS ONE THING YOU MISS ABOUT GRADE SCHOOL? Recess. I think grownups should have recess.<\/p>\n

36. WHAT KIND OF SHAMPOO DO YOU USE? I buy all my products from Melaleuca. I’m not wacky about their shampoo – it doesn’t lather the way I like .. but I’m sticking with it because I get a discount.<\/p>\n

37. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? My handwriting is shit. It used to be good, I have no idea what happened.<\/p>\n

38. ANY BAD HABITS? Where do I begin? I have a ton of bad habits. Anyone who says “No” to this question is a douchebag.<\/p>\n

39. ARE YOU A JEALOUS PERSON? To me, jealousy comes out of insecurity – so yes. I can be jealous if I’m feeling insecure.<\/p>\n

40. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Yes. I have doubts about many things – but my gift at friendship is not one of them.<\/p>\n

41. DO YOU AGREE WITH FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS? Hell yes!<\/p>\n

42. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER? By saying, “Get the HELL out of my way” when someone stops at the bottom of an escalator, causing a backlog.<\/p>\n

43. WHAT\u00e2\u0080\u0099S YOUR MAIN GOAL IN LIFE? Oh for God’s sake. No. Refuse to answer.<\/p>\n

44. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD? Anything that had to do with Fisher Price.<\/p>\n

45. HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE IN YOUR CELL PHONE? 20? Frankly, not enough. I am behind on updating my cell phone. I don’t have a home phone, by the way … my phone, my only phone, is my cell (welcome to urban life) – so I really need to have everyone<\/i> in there.<\/p>\n

46. WERE YOU A FAN OF BARNEY AS A LITTLE KID? Way after my time. I was a fan of Ernie and Bert, mkay.<\/p>\n

47. MASHED POTATOES OR MACARONI AND CHEESE? Neither. Will not choose.<\/p>\n

48. DO YOU HAVE ALL YOUR FINGERS AND TOES? Yes. Mere – you need to do this meme!!<\/p>\n

49. DO YOU HAVE A COMPUTER IN YOUR ROOM? What am I a tween or something? Yes. I have a computer “in my room”. The ironic thing is that I am an adult and I still only “have a room”. But whatevs.<\/p>\n

50. PLANS FOR TONIGHT? I have to write a movie review, and I’m also going to watch Nadine<\/i>.<\/p>\n

51. WHAT\u00e2\u0080\u0099S THE FASTEST YOU\u00e2\u0080\u0099VE EVER GONE IN A CAR? 130.<\/p>\n

52. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO? Eric Hutchinson “It Hasn’t Been Long Enough”<\/p>\n

53. LAST THING YOU DRANK? Glass of red wine.<\/p>\n

54. REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT? Not registered as either. I’m a 2nd amendment supporter with a deep love and respect for our military and an even deeper love for the tiniest most invisible unobtrusive government possible (it’s more of a philosophical belief than a political position – it cannot be shaken or swayed, it’s who I am<\/i>) who is also pro-choice and disgusted by the racist rhetoric surrounding immigration and even more disgusted by any opinion even approaching anti-gay-marriage. Oh, and I’m against capital punishment. You tell me what “party” would want me. Fuck them and fuck anyone who tries to convince me otherwise. Losing battle. I vote the way I want to. I cannot be bought. I’ll be at the bar with Chris Hitchens if you need me.<\/p>\n

55. DO YOU HAVE A LOW SELF ESTEEM OR A HIGH SELF ESTEEM? High with abyss-level bouts of low. I whiteknuckle the lows.<\/p>\n

56. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING? I’m reading Fortune of War<\/i> by Patrick O’Brian – the 6th (I think) in the Master & Commander series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
