1. When is the last time you were broke?

TG/Christmastime 2004. A lot of financial burdens added up and I really had trouble getting out from under 'em. Fortunately, it was resolved before I got too tapped out. (Could still take care of rent, utils, etc.)

2. What makes you lose focus?

Micromanagement, Nagging, any Harpy-like activity in my environment. Boredom. something more interesting or important.

3. How tall are you?

6'5"/6'6" depending on slouch-factor.

4. Are you brave or cowardly?

Yes, depending on what I'm made to stand up against. I pick my battles, but am willing to gnaw through an arm to get away from some things, or gnaw through someone else's jugular to get to others.

5. What's in your pocket?

Standard collection - Flash drive, keys, billfold, ID, pda, cell phone, bus pass, business cards, green eraser shaped like the goodyear blimp, newton whisker

I used to have a yellow eraser shaped like the Goodyear blimp. Had that thing for years!

This one, I've had for about 8 months or so. :)

Re: firpo says

I'm good at putting stuff on the top shelf, not so good at the bottom shelf. :)

Re: firpo says

i guess that means all your mixed drinks are tasty?

okay, i'm stretching this a bit far...

Re: firpo says

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

ah, bartender joke!

Yup, only the good stuff for my guests. :)

What's your poison?

Re: firpo says

used to be gin and scotch, but hard liquor makes me do crazy things

i try to stick to a good microbrew these days

you?

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I think it is the sweetest thing that you carry his whisker around. You are sentimental. :D

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm a big ol' mushy monkey. not like I have a locket I can put it in! :D

Re: firpo says

Hard Cider is a fave lately, but if stiffer drinks are involved, I'll lean to Rum and fruit juice sorts of drinks.

I'm a girl-drink drunk.. needs a frou-frou umbrella or pinapple chunk.

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

i think you are more obsessed with Newton than i am my furkids, and that's saying something. of course, if it doesn't have to be inside the pocket, i can't seem to leave home without bits of fur or slobber somewhere on my clothes...

[sirenity.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah - I forgot you were so tall - WOW. =)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm terribly sentimental, 'tis true.

You're right.. even without the whisker Im sure there's some stray hair on me somewhere of his!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad that I'm tall enough that my feet reach the ground!

Re: firpo says

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Insert obligatory screaming like a girl joke here.

Re: firpo says

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

aww.. keen icon! I counter with "screams like a girl"

Re: firpo says

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Haha I love it---although you look more like you are singing opera than anything else.


That is my new spooky icon---I'm uploading some cemetery pics--(because I just CANT be bothered to actually do work on my paper).

Re: firpo says

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

then have newt singing a little lullaby too.

it's a good spooky icon.. nicely vague and trepeditious.

Re: firpo says

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised you didn't notice this silly one in my FLICKR queue. hope your paper goes well when you finally get motivated!

Re: firpo says

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

You are funny! I did notice it---I just thought I'd give someone else the chance to comment for once :D

But thing that struck me about that picture was what shows up in the doorway when you lightened it--looks like a slurpee machine to me---if this is the case you are "the man".

Re: firpo says

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

ha.. nothing so wonderful, just the far side of my bookcase. :)

Re: firpo says

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Now that just isn't practical who the hell would have a bookcase in their apartment? :D

Re: firpo says

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

well, I have to hide the slurpee machine behind *SOMETHING*!

Re: firpo says

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

If I come to FL for the book fair will you put Diet Dr Pepper in the slurpee machine for me? I can't talk my local 7-eleben into doing it.

Re: firpo says

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

hmm.. I'll make every endeavor to!

Re: firpo says

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Endeavor? What kinda Quickie Mart you running bub? I bet the processed meat snacks aren't even fresh! :D

Funny note I DID run into my quickie mart this morning to get some ahem cafeinated bev. The owner behind the counter noted that I was purchasing LOTS of caffience and sugarless gum lately---I told him I was trying to finish a paper so I could graduate law school.

He said---and this is priceless---"Oh I went to law school too."

I had to stop myself from laughing hysterically--because at that time I was thinking---has everyone in the WORLD finishe dlaw school but me?
And then I thought---man---quickie mart.

Re: firpo says

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

they're not even meat!

Well, you will succeed where your quickie-mart guy failed!

did he *finish*?

Re: firpo says

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Not meat or meat by-product? *gasp*

He did finish.

Re: firpo says

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

well, it might be a by-product... something meat might have done, once, as a result of being meat.

Re: firpo says

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I've been playing with FLICKR too much today and looking at pictures---I just looked at my favorite page and laughed.

Like an exclamation point at the end of a very weird sentence *grin*

Re: firpo says

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I took your advice!

Re: firpo says

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I thought they were green in the original.

Re: firpo says

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

well, my eyes are actually really blue, but I liked the indigo more for contrast. :)

Re: firpo says

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Well maybe they change colors--caus eI remember them being glowing red a week ago.

And *ahem* I wold like to go on record saying I regret my poor choice of picture caption he was INDEED polishing his sword.

Naughty!

What's up with the cam? Weird.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

tv on, maybe.. or nighttime lights?

[fivefootmayhem.livejournal.com]

1: Three years ago when I didn't have a job.
2: Men that are kind and witty.
3: 5'3" without my sexy shoes on. With them I'm 5'7"
4: I'm brave! (at least when its not dark out).
5: A nickle, a pecan half, and medium sized latex glove.

I'm a cider drinker myself! I like hornsby the best. I hear ya about the umbrellas! If it's not kitty-foo-foo, I ain't drinking it!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Ha... I like what's in your pockets, too! Macguyver could have a field day!

#2 must be difficult... I imagine most men act that way around you!

[fivefootmayhem.livejournal.com]

Oh how you flatter me! Don't stop! I rather enjoy the illusion that I'm worthy of wonderful comments! ^_^

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

no illusion, I'm sure that you're most worth of any priase that I could dream up.

A beautiful redhead that's got geek cred... hard combo to match!
