1) How did you make the leap into message boardom? How did you make the leap into this particular community of people? Did you lurk? Was there a topic that pushed you over the line so that you could no longer hold your tongue? Who was the first person you talked to? Met?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. DAMN you, Joss Whedon, for creating a show so compelling I had to seek out complete strangers (with names like Xander’s Woman and Mad Poetess for goodness’ sake!) with whom I could discuss your television show. I lurked for about a week before finally posting. I have no idea who I interacted with first, but the first real tete-a-tete I had influenced my decision to move back to Los Angeles (based on how adoringly he described the city), and we eventually met, liked each other, and we still hang out in person. Also, I met six of my closet lady friends (you included, of course) on that friggin' board.
2) What do you crave?
- Something of interest to ponder to the point of obsession.
- Novelty in fiction.
- A soundtrack to my life.
- Bread.
-Imaginary men.
3) We started from Disney-based boards and migrated here. So if you're here, you probably either enjoy Disney, or know somebody who enjoys Disney. What is your favorite memory from a Disney park?
My first ride on Space Mountain.
4) What are your opinions on touch? Who was the last person you touched?
I think stroking is soothing, feeling is educational, handling is best done carefully, fingering should only be attempted with meticulously manicured nails, contact can be sporting, tapping is annoying, laying a hand on can be healing, patting can be reassuring or (see tapping), and joining can be good fun, cheerio pip-pip, mind boggling divine, so-so-okay and whatever, thoroughly disappointing, and sometimes even humiliating.
Or, sometimes touch is just plain disgusting. I was the last person I touched and it was, I must agree with myself, disgusting. I hate wiping. I think all bathrooms in America should be equipped with bidets.
5) What brings you relief? A person? A place? An idea? An object? An activity?
- Nape of the neck kisses.
- Butt massages
- Stories
- My parent’s house
- Earl Grey Tea
- Stretching, even though I rarely do this, when I do I realize how much better it makes me feel.
- Escaping to a private space to release a little stink bird after being in public and having to hold it in. Fly, little warbling pee-ew, fly!
