Thanks, Leab.
Sorry I haven't written for a while. Tonight I hope to go stream-of-consciousness on your asses. Lots of interesting things afoot. In the meantime, the following comes courtesy of Leab. I love these things, because even if others don't want to learn more about you, you inevitably learn more about yourself when doing these exercises.
9 Lasts:
Last ball to the face: Since I’m not a sports fan this joke lends itself to a crude double entendree. I’m trying to be less nasty on my blog however, so I’ll have to say never.
Last cheer: While doing laundry. It was all-temperature Cheer. Seriously though, I suppose it was the Judas Priest concert earlier this year.
Last kiss: About a half hour ago.
Last movie seen: Saw half of “Corpse Bride” last night but couldn’t get into it. Watched the Edward R. Murrow investigative piece “Harvest of Shame” today and it was wonderful.
Last phone call: My brother Fred yesterday, first time I’d spoken to him in six months.
Last CD played: D-Generation’s self-titled CD while working out. The perfect workout album, a great mixture of fast-walking, running, and cool-down songs.
Last bubble bath: Tonight. Nice and hot and read a book.
Last time you cried: Last Sunday, I think. Was feeling overwhelmed by life. Nearly quit my column at the Gazette due to stress.
Last beverage: Does milk in cereal count? If not, water.
9 Have You Evers:
Have you ever dated one of your best friends: Yes, my wife and I dated for a while…then became good friends…then married. She is still my best friend.
Have you ever skinny dipped: No.
Have you ever kissed somebody and regretted it: Yes.
Have you ever fallen in love: Well, duh…
Have you ever lost someone you loved: Yes, in death and love. One by heart attack, one by heartbreak.
Have you ever been depressed: Normally.
Have you ever been drunk and thrown up: Yes, the night before I proposed to my wife I drank a lot during a gig. When I got home the room was seriously spinning. I went to the bathroom and forced myself to vomit. I immediately sobored up and slept like a rock. Thanks for helping me through it, Cat.
Have you ever been in a fight: Sort of, when I was a kid. A couple of times. Once I ran up and down the stairs at my elementary school ‘til a fat bully got winded and gave up. Once I “fought” a dickweed from my neighborhood because I was sick of him being a dickweed. Didn’t solve anything. I think it was the first fight for both of us, so neither of us knew what we were doing, which is synonomous with many of life’s firsts…
