Questionnaire Meme

[LSPoorEeyorick]

So those of us on LJ have all jumped on a questionnaire meme bandwagon; it's been so popular that I figured the non-LJers among us would also enjoy. I'll post mine, and then you answer yours.

I give you money and send you into the grocery store to pick up 6 items. You can only pick one thing from the following departments.. What is it?

1. Produce:
This depends on the season. And, sorry, it won't be at a grocery store, it'll be the Hollywood Farmer's Market on Ivar between Hollywood and Sunset. If today, it'd be either fresh strawberries, which are coming into season, or Ojai pixie tangerines. In August, it'd be tart Kyoho concord grapes. In May, peaches. And for the record, I think it's unfair that I have to choose between fruit and vegetables, but when required, fruit will always be my choice.

2. Bakery:
Also not the grocery store, because grocery stores are a last resort; I'm of the European marketing mind that you buy the food at the food-specific specialty store. Sprinkles cupcakes.

3. Meat:
Sashimi-grade Ahi, for searing

4. Frozen:
Why frozen? Why not fresh? I guess since they made me Sophie's-choice between fruit and vegetables, I'll say frozen broccoli here, but I won't really like it.

5. Dry Goods:
Dry red lentils

6. Dairy:
Goat cheese



Let's say we're heading out for a weekend getaway. You're only allowed to bring 3 articles of clothing with you (not counting undergarments). So, what's in your bag?

1. Fun retro dress, for on-the-town. (No room for accessories, which is a real bummer.)
2. Comfy gaucho pants for exploring.
3. Empire-waisted frock top, also for exploring.



If I was to listen in on one of your conversations throughout the day, what 4 phrases or words would I be most likely to hear?

1. Lovely! (I was called on this one recently.)
2. Indeed.
3. Love, love, love. (Our parting term-of-endearment)
4, I'm sorry...



So, what 4 things do you find yourself doing every single day, and if you didn't get to do, you probably wouldn't be in the best mood (Aside from eating and sleeping)?

1. Snuggling with Tom
2. Showering
3. Swimming (which would explain why I haven't been in the best mood lately)
4. Writing



You're driving down the road, and suddenly you're hit with this sense of road rage. What 3 factors probably contributed to it?

1. Being cut off
2. Hitting unusually heavy traffic when I've not left a sufficient amount of time to arrive in a timely fashion
3. Drivers who don't let people in when they're politely waiting with their blinker on.



Sweet, you just scored a whole afternoon to yourself. We're talking a 3 hour block with nobody around. What 5 activities might we find you doing?

1. Writing, or brainstorming, one of my own pieces, with my iPod on, sitting in an indie cafe.
2. Making a cup of tea and reading "Real Simple" magazine (or, you know, whatever book I'm reading right now) at home.
3. Taking the time to pamper myself in ways I love but usually forsake - luxurious bath, giving myself a manicure, doing my hair (maybe with my retro rollers), spending time putting together a lovely outfit. (Hey, look, there's "lovely" again.)
4. Watching movies.
5. Shopping (mostly window-shopping) for accessories or art at one or more of the terrific and quirky boutiques in the area.



We're going to the zoo. But, it looks like it could start storming, so it'll have to be a quick visit. What 3 exhibits do we have to get to?

Whyyyy does it have to be quick?

1. Hippos
2. Polar Bears
3. Monkeys, apes or gorillas



You just scored tickets to the taping of any show that comes on TV of your choice. You can pick between 4, so what are you deciding between?

I'll do the on-set answer others have offered, since anything 'recorded live in front of a studio audience' - particularly if it uses a laugh track - is not worth my time:

1) 30 Rock
2) The Office
3) Lost
4) Good Eats



You're hungry for ice cream. I'll give you a triple dipper ice cream cone. What 3 flavors can I pile on for ya?

1. That honey-flavored Gelato from our favorite place in Rome
2. That cinnamon-ginger-flavored Gelato, also from our favorite place in Rome
3. Peanut Butter and Jelly Custard, from our favorite place in Hollywood



Somebody stole your purse/wallet…in order to get it back, you have to name 5 things you know are inside to claim it. So, what's in there?

1. Walt Disney World "Magic Your Way" passes - there are six days left, for our trip later this year
2. My Driver's License
3. A lot, a lot, a lot of receipts, but no cash
4. My insurance card (you never know when there will be an emergency.)
5. A pair of earrings in the change pocket



You are at a job fair, and asked in what areas you are interested in pursuing a career. Let's pretend you have every talent and ability to be whatever you wanted and it was all lucrative enough to live happily and comfortably on. What 4 careers would be fun for you?

Hey. I DO have every talent and ability to be whatever I wanted. I'm sort of three of these things already, if only in early stages.

1. Screenwriter
2. Director
3. Lyricist
4. Glassblower



If you could go back and talk to the old you, when you were in high school, and inform yourself of 5 things, what would you say?

1. Go walking. Go walking and take your mom. Take your mom walking in Europe before it's too late.

2. You think he's dreamy but he's not treating you very well. The next one will be the same, and the one after that will seem even dreamier but will be treating you waaaay worse. When you finally realize this you'll get extremely depressed. Two things here: A. it's OK to be upset; that depression will send you to Los Angeles where you'll learn to take care of yourself, and THEN you'll meet someone who is both dreamy and treats you very well. B. it's not OK to take that upset out on your diet.

3. Your teachers are going to tell you that you can't combine your writing and your dramatics, and that is complete and total bull****; you don't have to decide. So for heaven's sake, take even more film classes in college. And screw the theater internships; look for film ones.

4. I'd tell you to learn how not to procrastinate, but I'm still trying to figure that one out.

5. You're going to go through a period when you think you don't have anything worth saying. This couldn't be farther from the truth.

3. Smile, you're gonna get some. Oh yes, you're gonna get some.

4. I won't say that college is hard, but really, you should try to at least show up for lectures. Try to figure that out BEFORE your third year, damnit.

5. Exercise, you schmuck.

[blueerica]

Going to go ahead and do this since I'm feeling so sh*tty that I can't do much else... Yeah, that's the reason...

I give you money and send you into the grocery store to pick up 6 items. You can only pick one thing from the following departments.. What is it?

1. Produce:
Zucchini. Or tomatoes if they look good. To go off of LSPE's farmer's market comment, I'm rather happy that they have a number of them out here.

2. Bakery:
Parmesan Basil Sourdough, but only if it doesn't look too puffy. I like it when the local bakery makes it dense, since it's more flavorful, and I can slice it thin, anyway.

3. Meat:
If I could go to California, it would be fresh fish of any sort. Here, it would have to be some filet.

4. Frozen:
Peas and carrots, since they'll go into my chicken wontons, and they're easier to use that way.

5. Dry Goods:
A combination of rices, but at least wild rice and short sticky.

6. Dairy:
Gruyere

3. Since I screwed myself with #2 in my ability to complete an oufit, it'll have to be another dress. I'll go with a simple shift, or something easy.



If I was to listen in on one of your conversations throughout the day, what 4 phrases or words would I be most likely to hear?

1. Indeed.
2. Nice. (But more like niiiiiice...)
3. Dude, seriously?
4. <insert yawn>



So, what 4 things do you find yourself doing every single day, and if you didn't get to do, you probably wouldn't be in the best mood (Aside from eating and sleeping)?

1. Eating a little cheese. I know, it falls under 'eating,' but it's more specific. Oh, and it has to be good cheese.
2. Showering - definitely
3. Chilling out and snugzin' (that's our patented word)
4. Getting out and about.



You're driving down the road, and suddenly you're hit with this sense of road rage. What 3 factors probably contributed to it?

1. POT HOLES. (They're really bad here. Incidentally, they were just going to do the usual 'cover up' job on them, but they were so bad, they've green-lit an expansion of the big thoroughfare and I they're supposed to be remaking the road with a new material. Forget what it's called but it's awesomely nerdy sh*t that will probably rock our socks off. Maybe it's the stuff on the Autobahn? I digress...)
2. People who don't know how to get on the interstate around here.
3. Along the line of LSPE's response, drivers who won't let others in when they've been sitting there with their blinkers. Worse are those that speed up to prevent someone from coming over. Driving in California made me more aggressive in at least making sure I get over, hell or high water, but I do my best to remain cogniscent of other who are trying to come into my lane.



Sweet, you just scored a whole afternoon to yourself. We're talking a 3 hour block with nobody around. What 5 activities might we find you doing?

1. Vanilla custard
2. Rocky Road
3. Blackberry custard.

If you could go back and talk to the old you, when you were in high school, and inform yourself of 5 things, what would you say?

1. Stop being insecure. People like you, and you're worth their time.

2. The world is a bigger place. Go explore it.

3. Spain is just as beautiful as you imagine it, if not more so.

4. If you love something, you can do it. Even if it's not listed as a job category somewhere... you can create it!

5. Mistakes are okay. Sometimes, it'll bring you something better. Avoid this mistake, though: Don't take your friends and family for granted. You'll lose a lot of them soon, so cherish every moment.

If you could go back and talk to the old you, when you were in high school, and inform yourself of 5 things, what would you say?

1. Take two years off before starting college. You’ll never finish college, much less get an advanced degree if you are continually schooling from age 4.

2. During those two years, take one to travel the globe, take the other to learn everything, while you’re brain is reasonably young, that will actually be useful and enjoyable in life ... unlike practically everything you’ve ever learned or will ever learn in school. Learn to speak 6 languages. Learn to play 3 musical instruments. Learn to fix your own car and plumbing. Learn this new thing called ComPuTors real goodz. Some skillz at electronics and carpentry will also come in real handy, trust me. Get out of school and spend the time and effort to learn the things that will actually enrich your life.

3. Buy as many shares of Disney and something called Microsoft that you can get your hands on.

4. You’re going to have to move a lot farther than Los Angeles if you’re going to get away from your parents.

5. (This one’s a nod to sohrshah, from whom i copied this meme). You're gay - stop pretending you're not and get it out of your system. (Actually, I’d probably let myself go through all that ... since my love affair with Kelly and our raising a child together were two of my life’s biggest joys.)
