The Gentle News

Why do I do these things?

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.

B) Tag eight people. Don’t refuse to do that. You may not tag who tagged you. Tag as many people as you can fit into a haiku Tag your mom.

I tag: YOUR MOM.

1. Make a list of 5 things you can see without getting up:

Korg R3 Synthesizer/Vocoder
Giant-ass DryErase board (I refuse to call it a whiteboard, since it hasn’t been white for years)
Empty box of Kirkland Signature Facial Tissue
Coca-Cola can change bank
Mason jar full of assorted screws and PC hardware

2. How do you style your hair?

I smear gel in it, pretend I’m a cartoon character going crazy and pulling out my hair, then blast it with spray.

3. What are you wearing now?

Black Skechers
Black Hanes tube socks
Charcoal poly/rayon slacks
White boxers
Black moog t-shirt
Posh DKNY spectacles

4. What’s your occupation?

I look for things. Things that make us go.

5. Do you nap a lot?

Not really. If I nap, I usually get a stomach ache and feel disoriented for too long. And for some reason, I always fart a lot more than usual after taking a nap.

6. Who was the last person you hugged?

What’s this shit about people you live with not counting? Are they not PEOPLE?!?! Fucking racists. The last person I hugged was my wife, a human being, who is named Bonnie.

7. What’s your current fandom/obsession/addiction?

Heroin.

8. What was the last thing you ate today?

Fajitas.

9. What was the last text message you received?

LC: “Awesome.”

It actually wasn’t all that awesome. He texted “I got my W2 today.” I replied “Me, too.” Does that really justify an “Awesome,” or for that matter does it even warrant a further response?

10. What websites do you always visit when you go online?

Bloglines, LJ, Twitter, Google Mail, and your mom’s Myspace page.

11. What was the last thing you bought?

Tall hazelnut latte.

12. What are you listening to right now?

The Simpsons, playing in the living room. I think it’s the Simpsons. I can barely hear it. Motorhead in my office.

13. What’s the last song that got stuck in your head?

It’s very rare that I have only one stuck in my head. This is a very painful problem to have. Also, as such, since at this very moment there aren’t any in there (thanks, Motorhead), it’s difficult to recall the last one(s) that were. Earlier it was Down Rodeo by Rage, and some James Taylor song.

14. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Daddy Petrelli’s.

15. What is your favorite weather, and why?

For watching, any kind of electrical storm.
For playing/riding, a VERY faint breeze, temp around 72F.
For sleeping, heavy rain with very little thunder.
I also just realized that I don’t think I’ve ever had sex while it was raining.

16. If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?

Guitar.

17. How are you?

A little tired. Full of fajitas.

18. What’s something you’d like to say to someone right now?

I want to tell your Mom I’m too tired to hang out tonight. I’ll leave a comment on her Myspace page.

19. Say something to the person who tagged you:

Hey, Kristy. Um. Hi. How’s things?
