What is your favorite board/party/card game?<br />A. Apples to Apples. The more you drink, the more fun it becomes. Also, my friends and I have made our own set, so the adjective "obese and retarded (must be both)" can be paired with the noun "mail order bride (from Russia)."<br /><br />Q. What is your earliest memory?<br />A. (Also dating myself here...) The first world event I can remember is talking to my mom's nephew in the middle of the night when he was deployed as the first US Army soldier (helicopter pilot) into Iraq in the First Gulf War. I was six then, I think. The first event I can actually remember dates to when I was probably three years old. I picked up a lit coal from our fireplace because I thought my mom called it a "cold."<br /><br />Q. If you could witness one event that occurred prior to your birth, what would it be?<br />A. There's a lot of cool things that I wish I could have been around for - the great oratory competitions in the late 1800s (I <3 William Jennings Bryan), important moments in religious history (dedication of the Second Temple, destruction thereof, the first Hajj, the Council of Nicea), some key twentieth-century diplomatic events (Lausanne Treaty negotiations, Yalta, the meeting of King Abdulaziz and FDR on a US Navy vessel). However, if I had to say one thing, I'd probably want to see the first Juneteenth celebration. That kind of unbridled joy must have been so incredible.<br /><br />Q. What is your favorite curse word?<br />A. Fuck and all of its variants. It's so fucking useful.<br /><br />Q. What is your main fault?<br />A. I still haven't learned to curb impetuousness - in words, in judgements, in actions. Working on it.<br /><br />Q. What turns you on?<br />A. When I have to work my ass off to keep up with someone in a conversation - if I get bored in conversation with someone, it's just over.<br /><br />Q. What is your idea of misery?<br />A. The eleven months and four days I spent in Saudi Arabia.<br /><br />Q. What do you wish you knew more about?<br />A. Theory. I know facts, I know historical trends, I know details. I don't know academic theories in any field - I feel like I'm faking it in conversations with more educated people.hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664942400486395078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971732155966620724.post-88402139819969218692010-07-07T22:41:53.190-04:002010-07-07T22:41:53.190-04:00aw. you flatter me! :) and i'm heartened by th...aw. you flatter me! :) and i'm heartened by the number of people out there in blog-land who love trivial pursuit. makes me feel better...magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459330762697628839noreply@blogger.com
