Better safe than sorry, I always say. The "Writer's Block" entries are open to everyone, though.
If you'd like to join, just friend me. Because admit it, you're just dying to hear about my life. ;)

I hope that those of you who celebrate had a good one!
If a friend cracks a corny joke, do you force yourself to laugh politely? What about if it's your boss or teacher? Do you get annoyed if someone else pretends to be amused? Submitted By |
I just pretend I didn't get it. But if it's someone I can be honest with, I razz them about it and say something like "ha ha, you're a real commodian" or make a toilet-flushing noise.
No. If I haven't found "the one" by now, I'm probably not going to. That said, if I find someone, I want him to really knock my socks off. I don't want to settle for someone I'm not really compatible with just to avoid being alone.

Is it $100 cash? If so, who would I know to give it to? Unless someone runs up yelling "oh no, I just lost $100? Did you find it?" there wouldn't be much that could be done. If I were to leave it there, someone else would come along and pocket it, and the person I turned it in to might do the same. I'd keep it, but I'd donate a portion of it to charity to pay it forward a little. If I get something for nothing, I feel obligated to share it.

I say combine the zombies and the supervirus so we can go out Resident Evil-style. If that's not cool enough, throw in some ninjas.

I don't think the swine flu problem is nearly as bad as it's being made out to be by the alarmist media. They're always either taking a miserable situation and beating us over the head with it until we beg for mercy or taking a situation that's not as bad as it seems and turning it into the Apocalypse. First it was how we're headed for the next Great Depression, then it was shootings and now this. When this loses steam, they find something else to scare the crap out of us. Maybe they'll say the sky is falling.
If in the event I get sick, I will go to the doctor, get some anti-viral meds, feel lousy for a few days and recover like most everyone else with this flu is doing. It's not Captain Trips, people.

I'm far more articulate online than I am in real life. I'm a much better writer than a speaker, and no one interrupts me while I'm typing a post.

Way back in the day I held a job for exactly two days. It was one of those deals where I had to take cookbooks out and travel door-to-door trying to get businesses to buy them. It was like telemarketing, except the weather was freezing cold, the verbal abuse was even more condescending and you weren't reimbursed for gas. Oh, and if the business refused to give back the sample cookbook, you had to pay for it out of your own pocket. Turned me off of sales for life.

Back when I first started watching CSI I got interested in the science, and while Googling, I came across the case of Madame LaFarge, who poisoned her husband with arsenic. The case was the first one to use forensics in the investigation. No, I have no desire to poison anyone, I just liked the name and it stuck. "Penny Dreadful" was taken from a cool B-grade horror movie I saw with Rachel Miner and Mimi Rogers. It first appeared in a series of books, which I didn't realize until very recently.
Not to be confused with Madame DeFarge, the character from A Tale of Two Cities.

But seriously, I don't know. I'd say a cat, but everyone is probably saying a cat, so I won't.

There are tons of places around the world that I'd love to visit. I think I'd start with Japan. I'd need a Magic Translator, though. Or maybe a Babelfish (the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy version, not the Web site). From there, I'd go to New Zealand. After that, who knows?
Has the attitude toward Americans changed any in the rest of the world, or do I have to lie and say I'm Canadian?

Rutabaga! And malarkey.

I neither love it nor hate it. It's a stupid, commercial holiday where businesses try to tell you that buying their product will make you a better boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse. It's especially strident this year, because these businesses are desperate to stay afloat in this economy. Your love for your SO is no more special on February 14th than it is on the other 364 days of the year. Who needs an excuse to buy presents, go out to dinner, tell someone you love them or shag like minks?
What I DO hate about it is the smug couples who use the day as an excuse to rub everyone's noses in how oh-so-blissfully HAPPY they are, and how it's just too darn bad that all those poor, pathetic single people can't share in that kind of ecstasy. News flash, people: not all single people are that way because they can't find love or missed the boat. Some of us WANT to be alone.
