In a world full of questions, it’s always fun to reply with an answer or two. I used to do a regular piece called “Questions By Casper”, but alas, Casper has gone MIA. But others have stepped up to fill the void. Just random questions from my Twitter friends. Are you ready? Let’s go. Where is your dream location to work from?

What was the first thing you thought about when you woke up this morning?

Damn, I need to pee. Where did I put my leg?

Have you ever participated in a beauty contest or something similar?

I’ve taken part in some spelling B’s and ran for 8th Grade Representative when I was in Middle School, but I’ve never been part of any kind of beauty contest. When you’re this much of a sexy beast, it’s not fair to everyone else so I’ve refrained.

How do you get motivated for difficult tasks?

I grit my teeth, cuss a little bit, tell myself that it has to be done, and then do it.

The Beach Boys or The Beatles?

Is this even a real question? The Beatles.

Finish this sentence:
The emotion I find the most difficult to control is _.

Anxiety and depression. It’s an everyday struggle and a constant fight. It gets bad sometimes, but I always find a way to keep on keeping on.

If you had to live in one Disney movie, which would you choose?

Well, Disney owns Fox now so The Rocky Horror Picture Show is now technically a Disney movie, so there you go. Wear fishnets and hang out with Frank, Rocky, and the rest of the Transylvanians. It would be awesome. Don’t dream it. Be it! Hell to the yeah.

Would you rather work a job where you interact with people all day or work a job where you are at a desk all day?

Don’t tell anyone, but I actually like people sometimes. I like to have a little interaction with people every so often. But in regard to this question, I’ve worked in customer service for close to forty years now. I think an office job would be a nice change.

If you had unlimited resources, what frivolous thing would you collect? No books. It has to be frivolous.

Video Games and Pinball Machines. Forget about the X-Box or Playstation crap. I want an 80s-style game room with Ms. Pac-Man, Karate Champ, Doom, Frogger, etc., plus several pinball machines, a pool table or two, an Air Hockey table, and every game I can get, plus a jukebox of course. That would be, dare I say it, awesome!

Which bad habits of other people drive you crazy?

Being late, talking on cell phones in public, screaming when an indoor voice would be proficient, being rude, and stashing money in socks, bras, and underwear. Any or all of the above. People annoy me.

Have you ever left a 1-star review online?

I did and explained why in the review. Bojangles and Hardees, especially here in Laurinburg, NC, are just nasty and disgusting.

What was the naughtiest thing you did in school?

A gym teacher in 7th grade. I was young and needed to pass that class. Shit happens.

If someone came up to you and said “Hey, do that thing you do!”, what thing would pop into your head first?

It’s something that I can’t talk about here on the site, but suffice it to say that satisfaction is guaranteed. Ask your boyfriend. He knows.

Would you rather spend time with other people or at home alone?

I have moments where I value some human company. That’s why I still work two days a week. And I do value a few certain people and enjoy time spent with them, but they’re the exceptions and not the rule. I’d rather just stay home.

What part of elementary school do you wish you could incorporate into your adult life? (i.e. naptime)

Naps and spankings. Both are wonderful things now that I’m old enough to appreciate them. Spank me, Daddy! Woooo!

And there you go as another edition of Questions (Not) By Casper wraps up and goes into the books. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. And with that, it’s time to call it a night. Take care and stay well, my friends. I’ll see you in the funny papers.

Ubuntu!
