Imagine This....
So, basically, I've been lurking around reading other people's blogs for months. Pretty sneaky, huh? Never thought I'd have one. However, if i WERE to have one (and since you are reading this, it's no longer exactly theoretical...), a trivia website (excuse me, THE trivia website) would be the place. So...here goes.
This excellent bunch of questions has been appearing on blogs here for a while. Is it okay if I steal it? Whom would I ask? Is there a royalty fee involved? Yikes. Well, I guess I'll hear about it if it's a nyet-nyet. (Don'cha think it's weird that we hear about our failures more quickly than our successes? Don'cha wish your girlfriend was....never mind. I digress.)
What is the one luxury you could not live without?
Perfume, white flowers, and high-heeled sandals. (Yes, that's three things, except they go together really, really well. So there.)
What is your political affiliation?
Democrat who wishes Ms. Clinton would stop the war in Iraq somewhat faster than it actually appears to be being stopped.
Name something you've purchased and later thought: What was I thinking?
A beige suede "newsboy" cap I thought made me look like Britney Spears. (And why, you ask, would I want to look like Britney Spears? Excellent question.)
Have you ever been in a situation where everybody participated in an activity but you flat out refused?
Every time I'm around people eating meat. No, no, it's okay, really. I'll just watch.
What is the one crime you would commit if you knew you could get away with it?
Jewel thief, but only if the jewels were owned by really BAD people who were mistreating them.
If you could have theme music playing every time you entered a room, which song would it be?
"Some Enchanted Evening". Hello, stranger.
What is the one quality you look for in a potential mate?
I've been known to forgive a man an awful lot if he makes me laugh.
What causes you to curse the most?
Tripping over my own *blanking* feet.
What do you think of fake tans?
They're about the only thing that make those of us of Irish ancestry tan. So don't be knockin' the Fake 'n' Bake.
Who was your favorite Osmond brother?
I didn't know I needed one. If someone had told me, I'd have paid attention that day.
So, if this is the only entry I ever write....thanks for reading!

Keep writing. This was good stuff. Where did you get these great questions? And I know what you mean about stealing jewels from people who mistreat them. My neighbor lets her pearls sit out in the sun all day with no water. The Osmonds rock!

OK, here I sit in my daughter's room at Northwestern University where she is enrolled for her junior year and I glance at the blog entries for the first time in months and see... Well, you've read (or written) what I saw. I don't even know whether this will end up where I think it will, because this is the first blog comment I've ever tried to write. The point is I totally agree on the Osmond brothers. I mean, how many of these guys are there and what are their names to begin with? "Hello strange...er."

The sparkle of your writing would cross any room -- and the more crowded the better.
INT. THE HAMPTONS' BALLROOM ROOM. NIGHT
Camera floats through the fashionable throng. We almost
pass the double-doored entrance when it bursts open to
admit LILAHDEDAH. The room is suddenly hushed.
INT. THE HAMPTONS' BALLROOM ROOM. NIGHT
Angle on LilahDeDah, stunning in high-heeled sandals. White
flowers are woven into her hair. She is radiant.
EMILE DE BECQUE (O.S.)
(Sings, solo)
Some enchanted evening ...
INT. THE HAMPTONS' BALLROOM ROOM. NIGHT
Close on LilahDeDah. Soften focus. Her eyes moisten and
shine, her lower lip trembles as she searches the ballroom
for the source of the familiar voice.
INT. THE HAMPTONS' BALLROOM ROOM. NIGHT
Angle on the double-doors of the serving entrance. They
burst open to admit a lowly, mature singing waiter, EMILE
DE BECQUE. He surges forward.
EMILE DE BECQUE
(Singing)
You may see a stranger
Across a crowded room ...
INT. THE HAMPTONS' BALLROOM ROOM. NIGHT
MS on LilahDeDah. She glows. She moves to meet Emile.
LILAHDEDAH
(Picking up on the
scene. Sings)
And somehow you know, You know
even then
That somewhere you'll see her
Again and again.

That Daedelus sure has a vivid imagination, huh ladies?
*sigh*
Someone is going to have to dub my singing, though. Also perhaps my stunning and glowing.
*grin*

Hi Lilah,
I have been enjoying playing your quizzes & reading your blog.
I too think perfume is a luxury I can't live without.
Your points about sharp, sarcastic humor are well-taken. reducing everything to little sound bites of jeering trivializes big issues. Let's keep trivia where it belongs, right here on Funtrivia.
