Ask Me Anything 22 - 24

[orangerful]

First, THANK YOU EVERYONE for the get well wishes. I'm getting there. I did come home early yesterday and crash and then slept in again today. Not sure if I will work the whole 1-9 tonight, but I have purchased some HALLS lozenges which I think will help keep my breathing.

Just realized I'll probably need to do a chunk of these for the last week because of being out of town. I plan on bringing my iPad but typing on that thing is not the most fun. Though I do have a keyboard for it...maybe I should just look for the charger. :P

22.blizzardskies asked: Have you been to any online meet-ups/gatherings?
I used to be a member of some Star Wars forums and there was a local group that tried to meet up a few times. They were okay, but not super organized. BUT having tried this group, I was desperate for a Star Wars club and when I stumbled upon the DCSWCC at the library one day, I joined immediately. They had a website, but I found them because they were using our meeting room space. :)

I also took part in the True Blood costume group at my first Dragon*Con, along with faeriesfolly. We dressed as Merlotte's waitresses. I didn't march in the parade but I did meet up for the group photo op with Charlaine Harris (which is funny because I've never actually read a single Sookie Stackhouse book LOL)

23. rogueslayer452 asked: What song/artist has been on repeat for this month?
Usually I listen to music while I drive, but right now I've got an audiobook in the car to try to "reread" the book I'm doing for a discussion next month. I do listen to music while making dinner though and for some strange reason I have been on a classics kick. I had one day of Simon & Garfunkel (it was because I needed to pull out spices and I saw the sage and rosemary and then Scarborough Faire would not get out of my head!!!) and then the other night I wanted something bouncy and fun and ended up putting on Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys.

I've been trying to find some new music on Spotify but have been a little hit/miss with most of their suggestions so I've been skipping all over, no one new has made the cut this month! I'm a rough critic!

24. kaitydid33087 asked: What's your favorite food?
Oh so many things, I do love food. And there is just so much of it to try. I love sushi, especially salmon. I could just eat salmon sushi all day om nom nom.
I like a nice med-rare steak fresh off the grill with a big loaded baked potato.
I have a fondness for veal marsala but it has to be GOOD restaurant for me to consider ordering. I've learned that lesson the hard way.
Chimichangas are so delicious too, I love Mexican food. I mean, how can meat and cheese be a bad combo?

Hm, perhaps I need to eat some lunch before I head out to work LOL. All this talk of food...

And now I'm really hungry! :D

Wow, really? You've never read any of the Sookie Stackhouse books? I recommend at least the first 4 or 5. After that, I lost interest, honestly.

I think I might have tried to listen to the first one but it became awkward when I'd come to a stop light and it was a sex scene and I felt like everyone could hear the narrator LOL.

Hahahaha! That would be so awkward! XD

Lozenges always help me when I need them :)

I'm glad that you're doing better :)

Sushi is the best! I love it.

Charlaine Harris is such a doll. I got stuck in an elevator with her once which was enough to convince me to try her books, lol. (I didn't actually like the Sookie books, though I like her other offerings.)

Glad to hear you got to sleep in. Hope you make it through work okay.

Also glad I just got back from eating Mexican, or you woulda made me hungry, too, lol. And I swear I think I remember seeing the Merlott's waitresses, but I wasn't into the show at the time.

In your last post you mentioned the friending meme. I would definitely like to stay on as your friend. :-)

Hope you feel better soon!

OMG food....I think I love you a little. Food is just...YES. I'm in total agreement here, lol!

*HUGS*

Those Merlotte's waitress costumes are great!

This post made me remember I haven't eaten lunch yet.

I'm a rough critic!

Me too. I like something in pretty much every genre but I am extra harsh and in some genres I only like 2 or 3 artists... and certainly not every song by any artist in any genre.

My current obsessions are Chet Baker, Judas Priest, Bow Wow Wow, and the Dead Kennedys.

I enjoy Charlaine Harris, though I admit I stopped reading the Sookie books after book 9.

I love Simon and Garfunkel and the Beach Boys.

Mmm...a medium rare steak with a big loaded baked potato sounds awesome right now.

[lady-sybyl.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, Scarborough fair, too beautiful! In the choir I sing with, we do an absolutely gorgeous rendition of that song, it's so pretty.

[verdande-mi.livejournal.com]

Feel better :) I hope it goes okay at work.

[penderies.livejournal.com]

I hope you're feeling even better now! *hugs*

[doomcookie99.livejournal.com]

OMG, I love the Sookie Stackhouse novels! :-D

[ellipsisms.livejournal.com]

Philadelphia rolls are the best kind of sushi. I love those so much. And now I'm craving them gdi lol.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

I did enjoy the first couple of seaons of True Blood, but reading the books? Oh hell no... I tried the first one, but had to give up. I couldn't read it. :-P

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

The show's characters were MUCH MORE interesting, IMO. The book was just Sookiee and Bill blah.
