How'd You Do?????

So-o-o-o-o….How well do you know APJ?
Ms. KFarmer got 4 right, Lime got 2 right, and both Jade Ed and SGL were correct in their incorrect answers –
--does that make sense?!?!?! Perhaps people (Jade Ed and SGL) need to go back to school and learn that part about reading directions…..

1. JOBS.
I have never been an intern at anything, and I assure you that my A.D.D. would kick in to super hyper drive if I had to look at microchips all day. Although I do love to dance (thanks Lime for thinking I could have been an exotic dancer….you made my day!), and I would love to take one of those pole-dancing aerobic classes (strictly for the exercise, of course), no one has ever paid me to dance, exotic or otherwise. Although there was that one time at Band Camp…..

But – surprise, surprise – I’ve been teaching Sunday School for 20 years. Yes, yes, I know. Somehow it just “doesn’t fit.” To borrow a favorite line from the movie, Michael, -- “I’m not that kind of angel.”

2. MOVIES
Hi, my name is Jayne, and I am a movieaholic. I love all movies – can’t stand to wait for them to come out -- don’t mind watching a movie more than once….and sometimes 5 times! But Uma and John just don’t hold a candle to Kate. I have been known to stay up all night because “Bringing Up Baby” or “Adam’s Rib” is being shown on TNT. What a classy woman she was.

3. PLACES I’VE LIVED
This one was easy – if you thought about it. I am a military brat – so everywhere I lived was near an AirForceBase. Only one that fits the bill is Plattsburgh, NY. I remember ice skating on the lake, crossing the ferry to Montreal…..oh yeah, one more thing: Although the dreams started in Merced, the original setting for the “Lady with the Flashlight Eyes” was here.

4 T.V. SHOWS
Hi. My name is Jayne. I was the oldest known Buffy fan……until I hooked my mother on it. Hey – rent the first two seasons. Watch them. And then call me and tell me you don’t wanna know what happens next. Go ahead. I dare you.

5. VACATION/DESTINATION:
Germany and New Zealand are on my Vacation/Destination list….. but I have been to China. Went in February 2005 with my sister and her family to pickup my new niece. I am going to Virginia to see them in August…..I can’t wait!

6. FAVORITE FOOD
Omelettes are good – but usually too big. Tuna fish is not people food – it is cat food. Haven’t you ever noticed that the cat tins and the Chicken of the Sea cans are the same size? I rest my case. But…..I love pancakes!!!!! That’s why I really don’t know how I gave up white flour for Lent. What WAS I THINKING!?!?!?!? Note to self: Do not do that again – especially during the Rogue. Note to kien: thank you for building barricades around your pancakes. Note to Jade: thanks for always telling me that your waffle was yucky.




7. ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES:
I don’t really sleep very much – although I do enjoy it. Making Love? What’s that? Is it an appetizer? A Main course? Some kind of origami? Note to self: Look this up after posting.


8. IN MY PURSE:
I usually have dental floss in my purse – although if I’ve run out, Jade Ed usually has some. I never have money with me – I find that I do better with my debit card. Condoms? You’ve got to be kidding. Those aren’t in my purse…. You know I have three things in the drawer next to my bed……..

(Do you really have a gun in your bedside cabinet???)

lime said...

ooooh, i am such a dolt. i read that last post twice and both times it registered as '2 truths and a lie' in my brain. hey, i've been a sunday school teacher and bible study leader so whenever i make it to fresno and you throw me out of a plane and down a cliff i say we take a pole dancing class together too ;)

RC- nice to meet ya!

Lelly- equation: Live alone + country setting=potential scary stuff.

I'll have to write about the one time I've taken the gun out of the drawer to shoot.....

Lime - You aren't a dolt! And I am looking forward to watching you dance off a cliff and skydive with a pole...

kien - as usual, exceptions will be made in/on your behalf.....

KFarmer said...

well dang, I did better than I thought I would- :)

China huh? How wonderful was that- I have read just about everything Pearl S. Buck has written- over and over again. I bet the flavor there was incredible.

FG - shhh....in the green box.....

KFarmer - China was awesome!! I have open invitation from brother-in-laws family in Bejing to come for the Olympics.....

confused... (I misread something? dunno.)
-all I know is that you have a .38, (looks like an FBI issue, 50's era, not bad, they don't kick so hard,) a red pouch full of,,, dang if I know, and a cucumber that's been squashed by a cinderblock...

(...a .38 ?)

I can recommend Germany for the beer and wine, but if you're vegetarian forget the food.

New Zealand is close to these islands, don't go for the beer or the food. The wine's good and of course the scenery, air, water and the people.

Hope you go.

PS I'd have a gun too if I could. I make do with an axe under the bed.

Sol - as long as I'm not a porcelain doll...

SGL - yes, it's a .38. Red pouch is full of batteries.....green thing has nothing to do with cucumbers...smashed or otherwise.


Rob -- New Zealand it is!!!! (Wine, scenery AND people).
