I'm Tagged!

And because I'm tagged and by whom I'm tagged I will do this.
But only for you Plain(s) Feminist!


A- Available or Single
Not at all, although it crept up slowly and stealthily, it consumed me pretty completely recently and now I am her's alone.

B- Best Friend
Best friends are intense friendships and I have had many. I had one named Jackson, who stole away in the night with his mother, who was hiding from his father. I had one named Karlan who was lost to madness. I had one named Matt who betrayed me. I have one named Jole that used to be foolish but is now wise and generous. I have one named David who never could tell me the truth to my face. I have one named Seth that I must visit. I have one named Michelle that I have reunited with. I have one named Ted that found his home and love at the Opera. I have one named Boris who disappeared to Brazil. I have one named Bill, who is becoming stronger. I had one named Danyaal that cut off all contact. I have two named Wayne and Natasha that show me how strong real love can be. I now have another, she is my very best friend and she knows me better than anyone ever has, and I can fall asleep to her voice and be happy.

C- Cake or Pie
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, Pecan Pie, Key lime Pie, those three, especially Pecan!!

D- Drink of Choice
Whiskey, Dr. Browns Black Cherry Soda, Orange Vitamin Water, Poland Springs, but my favorite of all time is Honest Tea's "Black Forest Berry". Actually, I really miss Strawberry Julius from Orange Julius, but where can you get one of those.

E- Essential Item
Cell Phone, but wouldn't it be cool if I said garrote?.

F- Favorite Color
I always said RED. But I don't wear RED or own anything RED. RED was just a flashy answer. Oh wait Spider-man... RED it is..

G- Gummi Bears or Worms
I'm going to be difficult and say Swedish Fish, because Swedish Fish kick the ever loving ass out of gummi crap!! Also because my sis and I on Lake George lived through summers with Swedish Fish, Ice Cream Sandwiches and Archie Comic Books!!

H- Hometown
Schenectady, New York.

I- Indulgence
Movies, Comics Books and Phone Calls to Canada.

J- January or February
February is Black History Month and I would be nowhere without Langston Hughes, Malcolm X, Roland Kirk and Nina Simone. Black America is our rich cultural heritage, even for this white boy.

K- Kids
I have a nephew and a lot of friends with babies. I think I relate well to kids, but only because I never grew up and love to play with action figures while watching cartoons. Maybe one day....

L- Life is incomplete without
Music, Movies, Conversation and my lady.

M- Marriage Date
Never been, don't miss it, but if i did it, it would be special. Not letting a bunch of doves free special, but real and sincere special.

N- Number of Siblings?
One who has my back whenever I need her.

O- Oranges or Apples?
Aaaaah!! I love sweet oranges and Delicious Apples. Can I cut them up and have them both in a salad?.

P- Phobias/Fears
Slasher films. The Lawrence Welk Show. Star Search. CSI Anything. Law& Order Anyone. Sometimes drinking out of a dark cup (I'm serious). The Bird Flu. Bad AM Radio. Religious Self Appointed Martyrs.

Q- Favorite Quote
"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
- Harry Lime (Orson Welles), The Third Man

R- Reasons to smile
My dad singing "It's Time To Go To Sleep" a lullaby he wrote. My Nephew when he's shockingly cogent and cute. My mom when she's happy and calm. My sister when she's silly. My brother-in-law when he's witty. My love when she teases me. My dog Frodo when he used to park his butt under your hand or when he used to roll over paws up! I miss Frodo.

S- Season
Fall. I was born right before Halloween. I love the brisk air and the smell of leaves on the ground.

T- Tag Three People
