thebratqueenAs promised, answers to my own survey:
1. What's the strangest job you've ever had?
When I was a tour guide I dressed strangely but I don't think the job in and of itself was that weird, even though it did mean I was going into haunted buildings and investigating ghosts. Which just goes to show you my bias on the word "strange" ;)
Probably the strangest job I've ever had - the one that will go on the list of "While waiting for her fame, TBQ worked any number of odd jobs like..." would be the couple of months I worked on a psychic hotline. Either that or the month I worked as a sales clerk at a Xmas store in Riverwalk Mall.
2. Name one thing that worries you more than anything else.
Not having done something. As in - I haven't paid bills yet, haven't packed yet, haven't moved yet, haven't secured a job yet, etc. If I haven't done something I think I'm supposed to do - huge, fat, insta-stress.
You know that nightmare where you show up in class and the teacher asks you where the report/homework assignment/whatever is? And in the dream you're freaking out because you can't remember being asked for this thing? I've lived that. Multiple times. Reason being, I was sick a lot as a kid and during college, so it was par for the course for me to show up and find all my classmates handing in something that I had no idea was due (and yes I asked about assignments when I got back - stuff always slipped through the telling). So, having lived that, I'm hyper twitchy about it. It takes effort for me to calm down when something needs to be done and I haven't done it yet.
(And yes, for the record, thanks to illness related side effects I also had the real life version of the college dream where it doesn't matter how much you studied, the final makes no sense and you can't even remember the question by the time you've gotten to the D option on the multiple choice list. Ask me why I hated going to school. Go ahead.)
3. Do you have a list of things you'd like to do before you die? Have you done anything on that list? What things haven't you done?
I don't have a formal, written down list but I do have a mental list of some things.
Things I have done: several trips to Europe, flashed for beads at Mardi Gras, eaten various exotic foods like gator (granted, living in NO made that one easy), gotten an apt and mortgage with my name on it.
Things I haven't done: Visited France, Italy, Austrailia or Japan. Jumped off of something very high with only a bit of nylon or rubber to save me (aka parachuting or bungee jumping). Finished and published a book of any kind. Learn to draw.
4. If you could buy one thing advertised on an infomercial, what would it be?
The automatic cat litterbox - and in fact I did buy it. Mind you, I got it off of their website but it's advertised on infomercials and it is worth its weight in gold my friend.
5. What's your favorite soup? Salad? Appetizer? Entree? Dessert?
To cook my fav soup is chicken noodle. If I'm eating out though it's French Onion. Cesaer salad, Egg rolls, chicken parmigna and tartufo (specifically from Bravo in New Orleans).
Obviously all of this would not be, per se, the same meal. ;)
6. What's your biggest pet peeve?
People who can't do simple and easy things to make life easier for other people. In other words don't give the cashier a $100 bill for a $2 purchase, pick up your trash, say please and thank you, obey the rules of traffic and don't be slow when people need you to be fast.
As for example.
7. What's one thing that always makes you laugh or smile?
Currently it's remembering the Shore Leave weekend and the stupid things that became catchphrases with me and the roommates:
"I'm such a Devon!"
"I'm just keepin' it real."
"My ear!"
