Pnts got me a present!



(The back side says Schrodenger's Cat is Not Dead, but I was not able to contort myself sufficiently to take a photo of my own back)

And now this meme that's going around like a flu on a cruiseship

2. Kenya

THREE KID'S NAMES:
Instead of answering this question, I think it would be far more interesting to relate a conversation on the subject that transpired between myself and [livejournal.com profile] totalvirility and Donna Martin's Boyfriend senior year of college while we were hanging out on the steps of the Student Union. [livejournal.com profile] totalvirility was stoned off his gourd and started screaming that he was going to name his kid Tinky-Winky and give him the middle name Dolsky. NB: [livejournal.com profile] totalvirility's last name rhymes with Dolsky. Then, in another flash of epiphany, he announced that no, in fact he would name his child ! As in !Kung (and for those of you who didn't read Nisa in Anthro 101 or saw The Gods Must Be Crazy, ! is pronounced with a click of the tongue) and the child's middle name would be...and here he clapped his hands once. So the child's presumed name would be ! [clap] Rhymes With Dolsky. This organically evolved into an argument about whether the child in question would be acquitted of patricide (I maintained that it would).

THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE:
Again, I really don't think like that, it's like that 12 months question.

THREE WAYS I AM STEREOTYPICALLY A BOY
1. Fondness for knives and guns (and by the way I think it's weird that my friends find my knife collection "cool" yet are disturbed/grossed out by the fact that I like to shoot guns).
2. In arguments with my boyfriends I am "the logical one"
3. As far as hard liqour goes I only drink whiskey on the rocks

THREE WAYS I AM STEREOTYPICALLY A CHICK
1. I read Cosmo every month. And Jane.
2. I am afraid of rats
3. I really like pink and sparkly things

THREE CELEB CRUSHES
1. Angelina Jolie
2. Gael Garcia Bernal (also see how I am an incompetent starfucker)
3. Owen Wilson

THREE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO TAKE THIS QUIZ NOW:

1. Pnts
2. [livejournal.com profile] apropos
3. [livejournal.com profile] claudelemonde

[On Edit: People should actually have to guess which are the two truths, and which is a lie! So, guess!]

Your knife collection as well as the shooting scares me. But I'm really not very boyish at all. If I were, I'd be a girlie man.

knives are sexy - guns, with very few exceptions, aren't. no?

au contraire, I find guns to be very sexy. I am a stereotypical boy in that way. Knives are sexy too. Although they provoke a gamut of reactions in people. My ex-boyfriend told me that the first time he came to my house, he was sitting in my room, and I went to the kitchen to get us drinks, and he found himself torn between admiring my book collection (he was, like, "I thought it could marry my book collection!") and not knowing what to make of my knife collection. When I came back in with the drinks he was sitting on my bed with a Deleuze tome in one hand and my large curvy dagger in the other, it was like he was weighing whether or not it was worth it to date me.

I say, the part about you burying a deer is a fib. Who buries deer?

Dogs, cats, fish, birds... I can see those, but not a deer.

ah, but in fact I was conscripted into burying a deer when I worked at an archaeological excavation in Israel some years ago. Actually, I think it was a gazelle.

i took it already! but i am with you on the guns thing.

yours didn't have "three ways in which I am a boy" vs. "three things in which I am a girl" which for me is the most interesting part of this meme. Please update your answers accordingly, write neatly and don't forget to label your work.

I´m figuring that 1 andthree are so obviouslytrue taht #2 must be the lie. (*waves from Mexico where the smog is giving migraines for free*)

Date: 2004-12-21 02:38 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com
nope, I really did have to threaten this guy with a knife when I accidentally got off the bus in a shantytown right as twilight turned to night. He was drunk and confronted with the knife left me along.

#3 is the lie.

How is Mexico? How are...things?

Things eh? The DF is very smoggy, my useless significant other is going nuts on me, and I have a so-called gig tonight, supposedly with someone else... who has mysteriously vanished. Oh to be back in NY...

So, are you saying you didn't bury the deer?

Date: 2004-12-24 08:14 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com
mysteriously vanished? like, in a David Lynch way? I hear you on the "oh to be back in NY" tip...

and yes, I did have to bury the deer or the gazelle or whatever the hell it was! I didn't sleep on any park benches in London, though. No matter how drunk I was I always managed to deposit myself at my hostel(s).

From: [identity profile] twotoedsloth.livejournal.com
Nah, as you can see, she didn't actually vanish. She just didn't show up for a few hours. And after that, things got more interesting.

Ya know, I should have known you hadn't slept on a London park bench, because it was too probable.
