The election, snowmen, ketchup, cookbooks, hair, sickies and alphabet letters

Ran across this in someone else's blog and thought I'd see what happened. Not that anyone reads or comments on my fracking blog anyway.

Welcome to the November 6th version of Thursday Thunks!

Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!

This week we will answer some unusual questions, brought to you by Berleen, the color red and the number 1,908.

1. The election is over... what do you think?
   I didn't wake up in some miraculous utopia any time after the election and I don't expect to, so everyone STFU already!
2. Tell us about a snowman.
   Why? Is he wanted for questioning in connection with a sexual assault in the area? Are there rogue snowmen burying their carrot noses into places they shouldn't be? Are you sure you're a cop?
   
3. What brand of ketchup do you buy?
   Hunts. Always. Cheap and good.
   
4. Do you use a cookbook?
   Depends on what I'm making. I'll follow the cookbook when I'm baking since most of baking is applied science to achieve specific textures and weights, but other than that it's all freestyled by intuition to make it appealing to all senses. Food is its own art medium.
   
5. Do you blow-dry your hair or let it air dry?
   Air Dry. Unless I'm trying to achieve an afro effect for a costume.
   
6. When was the last time you were sick?
   First week of October. The kids brought some truly nasty shit home from daycare.
   
7. What is the strangest letter of the alphabet?
   Strangest letter in the alphabet would have to be the letter Q. WTF are we supposed to do with Q?
   
8. Who was the last person you bought a present for? What was it? Will you buy me one?
   Last person I bought a gift for was my daughter for her birthday.
   It was a box full of Disney princess books.
   Are you really that into Disney princesses?
   
9. Why are we ending at 9 questions?
   Rule of 3s man. Rule of 3s.

Add this to the list of DH's "done while drunk" stories =P

If I could save time in a bottle...

Then I'd really have something.

The real question here is why am I making a blog entry instead of getting on the five tons of work I need to do?

Right. Guess I'll meander off and find something else to keep me away from my studies. Something a little less obvious. An episode of Torchwood while pretending to read perhaps? Sounds good.

Only Living When Dying

Why is it that people only get around to living when they find out they're dying? (Guilty, btw).

Seven Things

Seven Things About Me

1. I have a lot of sock yarn, especially since discovering I can handpaint my own and sell it on Etsy.

2. I talk too much when I get nervous, all the time thinking that I am making a complete ass of myself and yet still unable to stop the insane verbage falling from my mouth at a million miles per hour.

3. I say "Seriously" way too much.

4. I immediately think "where the hell did she learn that?" each and every time my daughter repeats whichever curse word I said last.

5. I have to run far, far away from my family once a week, just so that I can miss them.

6. I drink far too much coffee, which explains alot.

7. I am irrationally terrified by any weather capable of producing tornadoes, even though I live in an area where hurricanes are far more likely.

I don't know if I can come up with 7 more people. Consider yourself tagged. Please let us know 7 things about you.

Lonely

I feel so lonely in the blogosphere. No comments for me, no "internet friends". Just me and the crickets.

Update: Scratch that. The crickets apparently weren't for me either.
