Poppy Mom busts out the Barbara Walters-style soft lighting for a candid one-on-one interview. Mustn’t let her make me cry…
1. What happens when you eat nothing but blue foods for an entire weekend?
Seriously? What kind of moron would do that?
2. Did you move to D.C. just because it’s easier access to John Edwards?
Yeah, that and the likelihood of seeing that Free Government Money dude that wears the question mark suits. But when I got here I found out that John Edwards had moved back to North Carolina. Apparently he’s trying to line up a job here so he can move back. The question mark suit guy is still here, though, thank God. He drives a Bug with question marks on it.
3. How many Communist countries have you visited?
Officially, two. I’ve been to Cuba twice. And I’ve been to China, except I only went to Hong Kong so I guess that doesn’t really count as for real China. So, uh, one.
Oh, and I live just next to the People’s Republic of Takoma Park. Does that count?
4. What St. Louis food item do you miss most?
None. The only ones I cared for (toasted ravioli, frozen custard, St. Paul sandwiches) I can either get at a few places here or easily make at home. The greater the distance between me and Provel “cheese” and tastes-like-ass Imo’s pizza, the better.
That said, while not an actual St. Louis food, I do miss good crab rangoon. The crab rangoon around here sucks. The wrappers are all wrong, and the filling just isn’t right. Might have to start making my own.
5. I’m a woman. Are you a machine?
Sadly, no.
Goodbye, interview.
OK, so I know only like two people read my blog, and both of you are functionally illiterate, but I’m still going to put it out there…
Now it’s someone else’s turn to play if they wish: Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.” I will respond by asking you five questions in the comments here on this post so check back here. I get to pick the questions. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

What? You don’t miss the St. Louis butter cake thingy?
25 April 2007 at 07:21 |
No, gooey butter cake is gross.

1. What is a St. Paul sandwich, exactly? I think I considered ordering one at Chinese Express (the good Chinese Express by the Hi-Pointe, the one that sadly burned down) but chickened out.
2. Interview me. I’ll wear my good shoes.

A St. Paul sandwich is basically an egg sandwich. It’s an egg foo young patty (without the gravy) on white bread with mayo and pickle, sometimes lettuce and tomato. No eyeballs or intestines or anything.
OK, Waveflux, here are your questions…
1. If you could live anywhere and not worry about cost of living or getting a job or any of that stuff, where would you live?
2. You seem like a decent and peaceful person. Who would you just love to beat the crap out of? Tell us about the fighting technique you would use.
3. What is the worst thing about Cardinals fans? They have so many horrible qualities to consider, so pace yourself and try not to get overwhelmed. Feel free to use your stock Cardinals fan photo somewhere in the body of your answer.
4. You are an accomplished writer and an avid reader. What writer has inspired you the most in your own writing? In your life in general?
5. Why does the Army continue to tarnish the memory of PFC LaVena Johnson by insisting that her suspicious death was a suicide when it most likely was not? What can we do to help get them to reopen the investigation?
29 April 2007 at 22:26 |
These are thoughtful and well-considered questions. They are, however, more than five.
But I will answer them all anyway. Tomorrow. After a good night’s sleep.

Hi! I don’t even remotely know you, but I stumbled upon your blog and thought this might me interesting. Interview me!

Jenny, here are your questions:
1. Other than vitamins, what is your favorite item to shoplift?
2. You live in a small town. Does John Cougar Mellencamp’s song “Small Town” constantly play in your head?
3. If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Would you use it for good or evil?
4. Cake donuts or bread donuts?
5. Fast forward to five years from now. What do you see, both in your own life and in the world around you?
12 May 2007 at 20:41 |
Here goes:
1. If I were to shoplift on purpose, it would be nail polish. Small, easy to conceal, and totally explainable to the cops when they ask to search my purse.
2. No. But his freakin’ “This is Our Country” song from the Chevy commercials does. Make. It. Stop.
3. My superpower would be invisibility. I like the idea of being able to disappear, or witness conversations/situations where no one would know I was present. Good or bad? If I could find a way for invisibility to heal the world, then good. But mostly? I’d just use it to screw with people who piss me off.
4. Cake, cake, cake!
5. This is a hard one, as right now I’m lucky to see past the end of my nose. There are some big things coming up in my personal life, so in five years I’d say I’ll be a married mother of two and stepmother to three, own a home and *hopefully* finally be out of debt. As for the world around me, I expect five years to bring some social change in a positive direction. And that Simon Cowell will finally lose his battle with self control and bludgeon Paula Abdul to death with a microphone.
