#1859

Dirty bathroom. I can’t feel clean if the place I clean up is nasty.

Who is the most famous person you ever met?

#1860

Michael Keaton, or possibly Steven Segall. I met both of them in a tiny town in Montana, they both had local homes. Segall was a jerk (he walked into a local hardware store in a purple fringed coat, he's super tall, was wearing makeup, and yelled at people for staring at him, for example). Keaton was just sloppy drunk but he hugged my husband and bought us a shot.

What's the wildest piece of clothing you ever had that you actually wore and that wasn't part of a costume?

P.S. Segalls wife, Kelly "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" was also horrible, she was rude and condescending to restaurant wait staff and wouldn't talk to like store clerks, she talked to her assistant and the assistant talked to you.

#1863

I had a novelty t-shirt once with an illustrated picture of a buck’s head on the front with the words: “Deer head.” On the back it said “Deer tail” and had an illustrated picture of a deer’s butt. I got that shirt into my high school year book three years out of four by wearing on student activity pictures day each year.

Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb?

#1864

I want to comment that I own a shirt from Thailand that has nonsense english words written on it and it's one of my favorite clothing items in the world. I only bring it out on special occasions.

Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb?

Dr Pepper, but I've never had Mr Pibb and don't drink soda these days anyway, so am I really qualified to answer? I respect the doctorate.

#1865

Fourth period.

Did your mortgage company just jack up your monthly payment by almost $100?

No, but that’s because I usually pay my escrow shortfall each year. Even after doing that though, my mortgage payment has gone up a steady $7-10 a year each year as insurance costs rise.

What’s the most unique item on your regular grocery shopping list?

#1867

Herring Snacks in a jar. Yum. I am the only person I know who seems to think so, though. Most of them think "yuck".

Part 1: When is the last time you read an actual newspaper? Part 2: Where do you get most of your news?

#1868

Last year. We used to get the local newspaper for free every Wednesday at work (it's a weekly- not much to talk about around here), but they removed the vending machines for some reason. I'd always want to see if my students made the news (for good or ill).

I don't have any one particular source for news. I use websites that pull from a variety of publishers.

Do you like cabbage?

#1869

Yes. Give me all of the greens.

And he'll never forget it.

Absolutely not. Hot sauce? Yes.

What's your favorite possession that doesn't serve a practical purpose?

My mothers Cupid pendant. It's pretty and unique and I very seldom wear it since it is also worth a lot of $$ and is irreplaceable from a sentimental perspective.

#1874

I own a pocket watch and a German-language New Testament that belonged to my great-great-great grandfather and are each about 150 years old.

49ers or Chiefs?

#1875

Chiefs (despite what analytics portend).

Heads or tails?

#1876

Tails never fails. Except when it does.

Striped tie or solid color?

#1877

You know, solid. There's one solid tie I own that I always liked above several of the busier ones.

Thank God I have not had to wear ties in twelve years.

Have you watched The Good Place?

#1878

I have watched The Good Place, it was A Good Show.

How would you rate snow on a scale of 1-10?

#1879

It's a sliding scale; 10 on Christmas Eve and on ski vacations, 1 the rest of the time.

What's your favorite all time Super Bowl commercial?

#1880

I still quote the Clint Eastwood "right now it's halftime in America" commercials on a regular basis, but like ironically

What's better: nostalgia, or never letting go?

#1881

Nostalgia; never letting go can get either creepy or even be harmful, especially to yourself, depending on the situation. Nostalgia maybe makes people roll their eyes, butit typically doesn't hurt anyone.

Someone, not someone you know well, has made a grammatical or spelling faux pas in an online discussion. Maybe they said, "I went two the store too times". Do you let it go, or tell them so?

#1882

Corrections I reserve for when understanding is in jeopardy. The example provided (for example) isn't worth my time unless I'm making fun of DharmaHelper.

What's your favorite set of Monopoly properties?

#1883

Probably the orange properties on the second quarter of the board. I never seem to get any of them but I always land on them and have to pay rent, which has screwed me over several times when the second half of the board isn’t favorable to my survival.

Oops- I thought that said least favorite. My favorites are either the greens or the light blues. The greens pack a punch when collecting rent and the light blues are cheap to buy, cheap to build on, and frequently visited by my opponents.

Do you believe that Australia is the key to winning Risk?

#1884

The key to risk is not trying to control Asia.

Why aren't video games more popular with adults?

#1885

I think it's slower reaction time, I think. I used to love video games when I was younger, now when I see the threat, by the time I hit the controller,I'm already dead much of the time. Same reason you don't see many older people driving aggressively.

Do you get pulled over a lot? How many tickets have you had (if any)?

#1886

I have never been pulled over for speeding. I have only ever been ticketed once for a moving violation for blowing through a stop sign.

Which state do you perceive as having the worst drivers?

#1887

The liquid state.

What does existence mean to you? Do you feel a personal connection to existence?

#1888

*My* existence, for me, is my effect on the world and the people around me. With my Mom having passed, and having no kids, at times I feel untethered to existence. I have never been a person who thinks of the future very much, just the present, so feeling untethered can be disconcerting at times.

What is your favorite thing about yourself?

#1889

How pretty I am

Have you already peaked?

#1890

As an individual, probably. I was great at school in high school and college, where learning and whatnot came easy to me. My post-college reality hasn’t lived up to what everyone seemed to suggest my potential was. But I’m a parent now, so my individual trajectory takes a back seat so I can build my kids up to hopefully realize more of their potential than I did.

What is your favorite Bond film?

#1891

The Pierce Brosnan films were my ideal spy flicks. The Daniel Craig films aren't really spy films, he's like a cerebral action hero. Brosnan had the perfect mix of camp, comedy, romance and action. GoldenEye might be my fave. I'm too young to appreciate the older films, but I will get around to it at some point, they're probably quite good.

What's your most interesting weakness?

#1892

I don't really have any physical fear. When I was a kid, I ran into traffic, I took any dare, I jumped off roofs, I walked up to barking dogs. When I was 10 I climbed up one of those electrical towers, and when I heard my Mom screaming it startled me and I fell. I spent a large chunk of that year in a body cast with a broken collarbone and a cracked vertebra. My parents said it was a miracle I lived to 12. I taught myself to be more cautious, but it isn't something that came naturally to me.

What's the thing you've done that you're most proud of?

#1893

The jury is still out on how well the kids will turn out, so I’ll say traveling.

What did you think of last night’s halftime show?

#1894

I'll say this: I don't understand how millions of people genuinely consider that entertainment.

Perhaps it's a personal bias due to being a musician, but I don't understand how ass shaking and pretending to sing or play instruments is praiseworthy. Choreography is a different thing- I get how watching dance troupes can be satisfying. But other than that, I just don't understand it. And of course I'm not a prude, but I don't think my children knew what stripper poles were. Now they do. So thanks for that I guess.

How was your day?

#1895

Y'know it's been a pretty good day, thank you for asking. For the last two weeks I've either been sick or working. Today I was neither of those things, and it was sunny and not bitterly cold outside. I went to the store, I went for a jog, I did some stretching, now I'm about to read for a couple hours. All of this is close to an ideal day for me.

How was your day, next person?

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #1896

I felt half asleep most of the day. Like I had a hard time waking up and maybe my sleep cycle was messed up just the right amount such that I spent the first half of my work day strongly wishing I were back in bed.

Otherwise pretty average work day.

What's the most exciting thing you have received in the mail in the last week or two?

#1897

A letter stating that I finally finished paying off my student loans.

What color shirt are you wearing right now?

#1898

A blue t-shirt with a vibrant neon green zip up hoodie over it.

What is your go-to breakfast?

#1899

A banana and a hard boiled egg.

When was the last sporting event you attended, and what was it?

#1900

Does my daughter’s basketball game last weekend count? If not, then maybe two years ago at a minor league hockey game.

Which film will win Best Picture this upcoming weekend?
