Q & A: It Rhymes With YAY!
Filed Under Uncategorized
I just skimmed through the last month’s worth of posts, and wow. Just… yeah. Wow. I have become a depressed, bitter woman in a very short span of time and I don’t think it really suits me. I don’t own enough black clothing to pull off “mysterious, sad loner girl” and anyway I’m hoping to shrug off this awful weight just as soon as I move into my new Charlestown digs and begin the Summer of Awesomeness. Still being in the apartment is the worst part, I think, because every time I start sorting through stuff I come up with another hand-written note or card that pretty much makes me want to paper-cut my carotid artery open.
Annnnyway, two things.
- I am hereby officially apologizing for falling off the commenting map. I am still reading everyone’s posts and I am working up to the point where not everything my fingers type is imbued with sadness.
- I am in dire need of topics that do not involve me talking about my mental state. That’s where you come in!
That’s right, it’s Q & A time. Please, please, please leave me a question (you can see I am not above begging) so that I can take my mind off of how much my life currently sucks and start writing something a little more light-hearted. Like how yesterday I went on the Quiz Bowl field trip and instead of taking the kids to the Constitution Museum I took them to an Italian bakery for cannolis and gelato. That’s just how I roll, kids.

my question: if money and time were no object, which country/city/place would you want to visit this summer? and why?

First of all, no apologies necessary at all. At.All. Cannolis and gelato? BEST THING EVER!
Second, here’s my question: Do you have a favorite author(s)? If so who? Do you happen to collect books (i.e. buy them) or check them out of the library? What is you’re always “go-to” food? What is your favorite place in Boston to visit/go to?
I think that was more than one question.
I don’t think anybody would fault you for being kind of mopey. These things suck. Bad.
But, question time!

No worries on the commenting absense. I think we all understand and just want you to be OK.
Questions:
1. If you were to create a cover band, whose music would you cover and what would be the name of your band? (Example: There is an ABBA tribute band called Bjorn Again. Funny, if you ignore the disturbing fact that an ABBA tribute band exists.) (I think I asked this exact same question of The Modern Gal, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome.)
2. You can enact one piece of legislation that automatically becomes law, no questions asked. What is it?
3. If you could poison one country’s water supply, whose would it be? (This is a dark question.)
4. Why do you think you’re so cool?
Yay for Q&A! I’m going on vacation next month — road trip to the Southeast (New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston, Outer Banks, etc.) and I’m looking for a good book to bring with me. What was your favorite book you ever read while you were vacationing?
Also, if you had to move to another city, which one would you pick and why?
My trademark question: most embarrassing moment! Go!

When you’re the hungriest – like, just been camping in the woods with trail mix and ran out of that 18 hours ago STARVING – what is your number one food craving?
So many really great questions! Can’t wait to read the answers!
Here’s my lame ass contribution:
What’s your most favorite place/thing to do in your home state of New Hampshire?
First off, do not apologize for writing the Blog of Sadness. It is justified. There may, perhaps, be a point at which one needs to will oneself into a better mood and force oneself to carry on and feel everything is fine. You do not need to be at that point yet. If you still want to wallow, go ahead and wallow. My heart breaks a little every time I read one of your posts lately, but that’s just because I care about you and what you’re going through, not because I don’t want to read it or don’t think you should be writing it.
Man, I am not helping nor getting to a question, am I? Let’s see. Everyone else seems to have given you a more than ample list already. How about you give me some shopping advice? I would like a medium-sized handbag in a bright, apple green sort of color. Nothing fancy and name brand-y; I’m thinking in the $40 or less range. I have checked all my go-to spots for cheap, cute bags (which basically means Target and TJ Maxx). Where else should I look? Can you find me one? Come on; you enjoy a shopping mission, don’t you? No?
(Feel free to ignore this request if you’d like. I just thought you might want a project.)
I’m new to reading your blog, so if you’ve already answered these questions in the past, sorry
1) If you could be a fictional character, who would it be?
2) Who’s on your Top 5 celebrity crush list?
3) Would you rather make out with Michael Moore or Rush Limbaugh?
First of all, it’s absolutely OK for you to be bummed out these days. AND for you to share that with us…..
Secondly, gelato sounds freakin’ awesome and I say that was a good call on your part!
Thirdly, I don’t have a question (it’s 5:30 in the morning I can’t think yet) but I do have a suggestion–I love it when you do the pictures through your day, or about a topic…so that’s my suggestion for a post!
Do you do dance crazy when no one is looking?
How would you describe Dad/Mom the first time you saw him/her?
What really gives you the creeps?
What did you think of me when you first saw me?
Why is it that your greatest hobby is to fight with me or scold me?
hahahaha
It it too late to add a question? I have two (this comment contains four, but two are rhetorical):
1. Would you please post your dorkiest grade-school picture?
2. You won’t? Whyyyy???
Nice blog. Keep up the good work.
