  5. Waffle is adorable.

    1. Have you seen House of Yes?
    No...I actually don't really know what it is. A movie? a TV show?

    2. Whats your favorite book?
    These are totally cliche, but I loved Love in the Time of Cholera and The Great Gatsby. However, I have a terrible memory when it comes to books... I have to reread them every couple years or else I totally forget them. And I love the whole Narnia series too. Basically anything by C. S. Lewis - I'm not religious, but although a lot of his works are about Christianity or have religious undertones, I still really enjoy them. He gives my brain and heart a workout.

    3. Lake or Ocean?
    Lake. But a big one!

    4. Favorite flavor of ice cream?
    Cookies n' cream. Also, peanut-sprinkled Dibs.

    5. Middle name?
    Lynn

    6. Lefty or Righty?
    Righty

    7. Define irony.
    Oh man...I'm going to do this without looking it up or reading previous comments, so I can't promise I'll be close to the truth. Irony is like sarcasm, you say one thing but you mean the opposite. I hope. Or else I'll look dumb.

    8. Have you ever ridden in a gocart?
    Yes! My cousins had one when I was little and we spent whole weekends in that thing. And last year BF and I went to the longest gocart track in the US. I smoked him. (So then we had to go again so he could prove to me that he could beat me, which he did. So we're even.)

    9. If you HAD to give up a finger which would it be?
    My left pinky finger
    ReplyDelete
  6. Kelly it is a movie and it is probably one of my faves of all time. it is the reason I started wearing red lipstick. Parker Posey is so amazing in it.
    ReplyDelete
  7. 1. Have you seen House of Yes?
    House of Representatives, House of Blues, House of Style...but no House of Yes.

    2. Whats your favorite book?
    I only get one? Then I'm going with "A Light in the Attic."

    3. Lake or Ocean?
    I live in MD, and last I checked, we don't have Lake City -- we have Ocean City!

    4. Favorite flavor of ice cream?
    lime sherbet and Ben + Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk

    9. If you HAD to give up a finger which would it be?
    I need pinkies for drinking tea.
    I need my left ring finger because I'm getting married.
    I need both middle fingers for obvious reasons.
    Pointer fingers and thumbs are way to necessary to part with.
    So yes, I'm also gonna say right ring finger.

    Peanut butter cup ice cream in a waffle cone from the Balderson's ice cream shop in Carleton Place, Ontario. Oh my. Worth the drive. Except maybe if you live in Boston, but from Ottawa, totally worth it!

    ReplyDelete
  19. 1. Have you seen House of Yes?

    Bungalow of No.

    2. Whats your favorite book?

    I can never answer this. But the thick fog that's surrounded the "Steve's Favourite Author" plinth cleared recently, revealing a statue of Poe Ballantine.

    Sorry, I thought the question was "Do a terrible metaphor".

    3. Lake or Ocean?

    Ooh! I'm grateful for an opportunity to be near either. Probably ocean, though, I like coastal towns.

    4. Favorite flavor of ice cream?

    Pistachio, closely followed by rum'n'raisin.

    5. Middle name?

    Yes. That is, yes, I have one, not "My middle name is Yes." That would be silly, unlike, say, Beldon.

    6. Lefty or Righty?

    Was a righty, but my right hand doesn't work any more. So: lefty by default.

    7. Define irony.

    BRILLIANT! I was just thinking about this today. Honest!
    There are two types. The one defined by Troy (Ethan Hawke) in Reality Bytes, where the meaning is the opposite of the statement, is one, although that's sarcasm too.
    The other type's hard to define; something like "The character of the statement or action is opposed or tangential to the nature of the person making the statement or the situation in which the action takes place."

    Snappy eh? Simplest example I can think of is getting run over by an ambulance.

    Or, what Teresa said/

    8. Have you ever ridden in a gocart?

    No.

    9. If you HAD to give up a finger which would it be?

    Right hand, 2nd or 3rd, they don't do anything anyway.

  26. Hahaha I love T2's definition of irony.

    1. Have you seen House of Yes?
    No, I haven't. I'm sure my roommate has told me to see it, but I just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe I can get boyfriend to get it on Netflix! He came with so many perks.

    2. Whats your favorite book?
    My "I have a degree in English Literature" answer is East of Eden by Steinbeck. My "I like kinda raunchy books" answer is The Other Boleyn Girl series by Phillipa Gregory. What? It's historical. Right?

    3. Lake or Ocean?
    Being from Florida dictates that I say ocean.

    4. Favorite flavor of ice cream?
    I can't believe no one has said Ben & Jerry's Phish Food yet. Second favorite? B&J's cinnamon bun.

    5. Middle name?
    Lauren...named after the character on Young & the Restless. I shit you not.

    6. Lefty or Righty?
    Righty, but ambidextrous when applying mascara.

    7. Define irony.
    There's different types, but the simplest definition is when something is not as it would actually seem.

    8. Have you ever ridden in a gocart?
    Yep! I've driven one, too. They're super fun!

    9. If you HAD to give up a finger which would it be?

    ReplyDelete
  29. 1. Have you seen House of Yes?
    Yes it is one of my favorite movies. Dave and I have watched it so many times we can quote it in that annoying way people who have seen a movie too many times can. It is also the reason I started wearing red lipstick.

    2. Whats your favorite book?
    A tree grows in brooklyn

    3. Lake or Ocean?
    I used to say LAKE but then I saw too many CSI shows about bodies in lakes so I say ocean because all that salt has to kinda dilute the bodies?

    4. Favorite flavor of ice cream?
    Buttercrunch the yellow kind with the little crunchies and NO NUTS that is not true butter crunch

    5. Middle name?
    Legally I don't have a middle name. It is Leia but somewhere along the way with the government it got screwed up and Hillary Leia is legally my first name. Well actually it was LENA for 24 years and NO ONE KNEW when I got married and changed my name the woman said OH you're changing your middle to Leia too? I said WHAT? She said your middle name is Lena like Lena Horn. In 1978 the person typing up my SScard mistyped and NO ONE NOTICED! So for 7 years it's been Leia and it was Lena before that. ha.

    6. Lefty or Righty?
    Righty with lefty tendencies because my right wrist hurts so much of the time. I am a left mouser now.

    7. Define irony.
    The use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning.

    8. Have you ever ridden in a gocart?
    Yes and I LOVE THEM. I think it has something to do with the fact that I don't know how to drive.
