And the award goes on to ...

The lovely pouting Karen has bestowed an award on me. She is naughty, but I like her. She is also very funny, so as I plough my way through the 31 questions, I shall have to pretend that I have not read hers (or could that be her's; she's a librarian you know, and could be awarding, or deducting, points).

Oh, and I need to remind you that these are to be one-word answers:

Voila!

1. Where is your cell phone? Wozzat?
2. Where is your significant other? Onmyback
3. Your hair color? Grecian
4. Your mother? Dead
5. Your father? Deader
6. Your favorite thing? Whoa!
7. Your dream last night? Freudian
8. Your dream/goal? Breathing
9. The room you're in? Roomy
10. Your hobby? Snapping
11. Your fear? Fear
12. Where do you want to be in 6 years? Here
13. Where were you last night? Abed
14. What you're not? Senile
15. One of your wish-list items? Nurse
16. Where you grew up? Calcutta
17. The last thing you did? Drink
18. What are you wearing? Stuff
19. Your TV? Wavy
20. Your pets? Hairy
21. Your computer? Digital
22. Your mood? Moody
23. Missing someone? Everyone
24. Your car? Carboniferous
25. Something you're not wearing? Contipad
26. Favorite store? BricoDepot
27. Your summer? ish
28. Love someone? Aaaah
29. Your favorite color? Blue
30. When is the last time you laughed? Today
31. Last time you cried? Sob


And since I frightened myself and everyone else with the exponential thingy, I'm not passing this on to anyone else, but you know who you are and I love you all.

Great minds think alike - I very nearly said that I wasn't wearing an incontinence pad!! That's not a good thing is it?

I wouldn't have had you down as a moody, fearful, snappy, grecian-haired, carboniferous car driving nurse-lover, but I suppose it takes all sorts...

I'll have you know I've never pouted in my life, by the way.

John said...

karen - ha ha, I loved your description of me. Almost perfect, but the snappy was intended to be ambiguous. For example snap-happy in the photographic sense. Should get a few good pics of Nurse Catheter come to think of it ...

And thanks for your kind thought.

(But I bet you do pout in private).

The Periodic Englishman said...

Everyone pouts in private. And if they don't, then they are failing to utilise their privacy to best effect and should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Hello, Ernest de Cugnac. I forget the links that took me here - sorry about that - but I'm glad that they did.

That was funny and pretty skillful, too. It's true, you maybe cheated once or twice by whumping words together, but I'm still left impressed by your inventive economy.

Will be trying super hard, however, to erase "contipad" from memory.

Kind regards etc....

John said...

tpe - hello and how nice to see you here. Fortunately, by the time you need a contipad, you memory may well have self-erased, so there is hope.

I had a look at your blog. You have a very good way with words and rustle up some intriguing concepts.

On the dogs-eating-horse-poo thing, relax. It is to them, apparently, as yoghurt is to us.

HI Ernest - have had you on my blog reading list for a while. Can't recall how I came across you, but enjoy your posts - most especially today about the barefoot wine harvest.

John said...

Hello SJW; thanks for reading and for commenting.

The wine is coming along fine. I'm taking a bottle over the a friend for a batchelor supper (both our spouses are away). I can cook, he can't; but he's taken it upon himself to host it anyway.

You probably think that wine that's about 2 weeks old is too young to drink, but around here some people like it that way, and he is one of them.

Baino said...

You do realise that these are supposed to 'reveal' something about the writer not confuse the poo out of them!
I may pinch the meme and save it for a rainy day. Your hair is "Grecian" good God man, you don't use that awful Grecian 1000 stuff that turns it black as pitch do you? No of course not, you mean classical - elegant!

John said...

Actually Baino, wrong on both counts, but you are kind. I was implying the black as pitch, but I'd only use it in a meme, not in real life!

The Periodic Englishman said...

Okay, phew. You seem like you may just be disastrously clever, EDC, so I'm going to take your word for it vis-à-vis the yoghurt/horse poo revelation.

Teensy bit disappointed, perhaps, that I must wait for the onset of senility before c*ntip*d memory is erased, true - but I must welcome this small glimmer of hope you offer.

Lovely to meet you, by the way, and thanks for the kind words. Hopefully see you again soon.

Kind regards etc...

John said...

tpe - indeed and ditto

Unknown said...

Could you please define hair colour... I mean, exactly what colour is Grecian...?

John said...

you know av, you make a very good point. So who the hell came up with the trade name Grecian 2000?

As I understand it, this wonderful product magically restores your hair to whatever it was before it became ... hem ... grey.

My hair used to be a nondescript browny colour, now a very distinguished grey. Well it is if I let it grow, but I like to keep it cropped, skin-head style. Nine millimetres to be precise.

Lulu LaBonne said...

Intrigued by the wavy telly, I'm imagining lots of people pressed to the glass saying goodbye.

Love the sound of the grape pressing, very sensual

Janelle said...

kiss kiss kiss! you have been awarded. finally. magnificent.ice is broken. nar nar nar poo poo sort of thing...huh? oh i'll go now..to frigging school to seriously wing it... xxx j

John said...

lulu - ha ha, very lateral!

janelle - I know, total bummer.

Unknown said...

Ah, well if that's the case, I must clearly be heading towards Grecian too. So useful to know. Thanks, Ernest.

Hello, (from Pierre de Papou)

I am a little be chocked by the "lapsus" ou "acte manqué" on "Voila" that you wrote "viola" that means in french at least "raped"... I wonder what this does mean exactly coming from a psychologist...hum!!!
May be the "duc" of cugnac is in reality a descendant of "de Sade"!
Hum.. (an another one!)

That's it

John said...

Pierre de P - many thanks for your helpful comment. I have at once corrected the spelling for I do not wish it to be known that I may be a descendent of the Maquis de Sade. And I'm sure that you do not wish it to be known either!
