Am I allowed to play? (Lookie, I went ALL day yesterday without making a single post, I think that's a record. :lol: )

Holiday: Easter

Food: Green leafy vegetables (bok choy and chard are tops, but also spinach, romaine, etc.), and I also love Indian restos - I live for palak paneer.

Daniel

05-30-2006, 07:52 PM

47

There are advantages to getting older despite what our relentless youth culture asserts. A friend of mine once said to me: "You don't have anything to teach before you reach your 40's." She was talking about the Big View of Things. When you start having younger people call you 'sir' or 'm'am" you know you've arrived.

PostGenXtian

05-30-2006, 08:13 PM

holidays - Hmmm...Christmas, I guess - because of the nostalgia.

song - "Clear the Stage" by Ross King...anything by Rita Springer, Jason Upton, Matt Redman...also Mariah Carey, Rascal Flats, Nine Inch Nails (I know, kind of eclectic)...I also love classics - Vivaldi, etc.
activity - Yeah, I like sex too...but am waiting for love - whatever that is. I do love to scrapbook and take photos...that keeps me out of trouble :) LOL
season- fall
How old are you? 28 - 29 on June 18th!!

Oh....my addled 47 year old brain didn't realize I had to ask a question after answering one! (What's your excuse PostGen?)

Favorite Number: 11 (my birth date)
Favorite Game: This is a hard one- not the gaming sort. Can I pass?
Day or Night: Depends on how late I stay up.
What I can't live without: Symmetry.

My Question: What are you curious about?

Zerbie

05-31-2006, 01:04 AM

[QUOTE=DanielFavorite Number: 11 (my birth date)
[/QUOTE]

Well, come on, the eleventh of what month? No good knowing the day if we don't know when to send you happy birthday missives. :p

Jennifer5

05-31-2006, 01:12 AM

You don't have to ask a question... it just seems to work well to keep it all going. Also, yes you can pass when you want.:)

Favorite Number: 5 (my birth date too... but no why it's my fav.)
Favorite Game: really anything... I just like being around people...
Day or Night: you would think I would have an anwser to my own question, but I don't know.
What I can't live without: diversity or family..... I wouldn't be able to hand people if they were all to much alike. and family, because no matter what 'family' means, they're always there to catch you when you fall.
What are you curious about?: finding a way to feed all the people in the world... because it has never made sense to me that some have so much when others have nothing... seems like a pretty stupid circle.

what attracts you to a person?

Jennifer5

05-31-2006, 01:12 AM

That's true Daniel.:D What month?

keltic63

05-31-2006, 07:31 AM

My Question: What are you curious about?

I'm curious about what month your birthday is in!

Daniel

05-31-2006, 08:00 AM

That's true Daniel.:D What month?
From 1-Click Answers: July was renamed for Julius Caesar, who was born in that month. Previously, it was called Quintilis in Latin, since it was the fifth month in the Roman calendar which started in March. Because of its origin, until the 18th century this month's name was pronounced the same way as the name "Julie".

Julie? Julie Andrews? I knew there was a connection!

Question: Whom (who or whom? I tend to get this mixed up) do you admire and why?

Answer: Rene Pape. For beauty of tone and restoring my faith in singing.

Vanessa White

05-31-2006, 08:33 AM

You know it's bad when I think of questions for this thread on my way to work to get on the computer and post. This is something I can't live without, to answer one of the new questions, along with FAITH.

I have one big celtic knot surrounding a sun/moon on my lower back.

Do you drink coffee? if so, how do you take it?

Vanessa White

Coffee, yes. Black, and usually a few cups throughout the day. Favorite flavor? Some type of colombian blend, or Rainforest crunch.

Daniel

05-31-2006, 09:48 AM

Coffee- when I have it when not drinking my first love tea- is made in a stovetop expresso maker with Lavazza Arabica beans- no sugar no nothing. Creamy and naturally sweet.

No tattoos for Ever and Ever Ah-Men- they can look pretty sexy can't they?

05-31-2006, 10:15 AM

Daniel

05-31-2006, 03:22 PM

Yes, Daniel, it is a good age......but 50 and soon 60 for me is better.....

Liberal- Thank you for the birthday wishes! And I'm glad to know that ones 50's and 60's only get better and better.

Other questions: Yes. I'm married, twice that is, if you've been following other posts, the first time in a Buddhist ceremony and the second time, legally, in Toronto Canada- Liberal's fair country- to the same man each time mind you.

Like Morninggrob, I like my tea. The usual is Assam in the morning and Darjeeling in the afternoon. Oh, the glories of a good cup of tea with the pot heated first and the tea steeped just the right amount! There is nothing better. Strong black tea with milk. Though I like Earl Grey- with a slice of lemon floating in the cup. A circle of sunshine.

Living? Living!!!!!

I MUST stop taking lunch when that comes on...I end up screaming at the tv for a half hour LOL That show is so crazy! I can't believe it's taken so long for what's her name (who is in love with her half-brother) to figure out that "God" isn't really God :disagree: - and hopefully SOMEONE will figure out that he's Alister (sp?)

Piercings: Only my illusions.

Glasses or Contacts: I was wearing glasses by the middle of first grade. They kept moving me up and up until the blackboard remained a blur. Wear contacts now.

What is the color of your bedroom?

My husband humored me by letting me- and helping me- paint it red. What a guy. We got the primer up, which was red itself, and found that, because of the northern light exposure and dimensions of the room, the effect wasn't the warm sexy thing I thought it would be: it made you feel like you were being buried alive. Now things are white as white can be. The insides of our tall bookcases in the living room are a spicey orange color though. You have to risk something somewhere.

Okay Keltic, I gotta ask: are we talking blue and white as in Penn State proud???? I couldn't let it go....

My temporary bedroom (the living room couch) is orange, and unlike Daniel's natural light effect on red experience, the sun allows the room to almost glow, and at night, it adds a darkness that is almost a comfort.

Y'all, this thread is cracking me up! Daniel, I almost DIED reading your description of the red wall. . .:lol: :lol: :lol: And while I've got your attention, I'm curious what dream you have that hasn't "woken up"?? Maybe we can encourage you?

Okay - what have I missed? This is gonna skip around a bit but:

piercings: just 2. one per ear. haven't had my illusions done yet. ;)

bedroom: DARK ORANGE! Maybe that sounds horrible but it's really awesome - bedroom is in the northeast corner of the house and gets a lot of shade except at sunrise, and the dark walls help keep it feeling cool. Oh and, the paint is textured too, so it has a lot of depth. Looks terrific with dark dark brown (looks black) Copenhagen furniture.
Oh and, did I mention my bathroom wall is iridescent lime??:D

funny/scary movies: funny, definitely. My system maintains adrenaline way too often easily and long, so scary movies can spike it for hours. And oddly, movies that aren't necessarily very scary can scare me, like I watched The Butterfly Effect and it freaked me out so badly I had insomnia for weeks. So, I'll take funny, definitely. My fave movies are eccentric, weird things, usually foreign b/c Hollywood doesn't tend to make weird accentric films. (Like, Strictly Ballroom, Adventures of Priscilla, and even really weird stuff like Trois Vies et une Seule Mort)

hugs/kisses: Oh definitely hugs and cuddles. I love feeling someone else's body close that way, I love hugging my friends, but especially my sweetie!

Dancing: well, last night I danced with my husband's giant toy dinosaur.:p And I'm pretty sure hubby & I slow-danced without music on, on our anniversary last week - not long ago, anyway. :)

Siblings: Nope, none. Lonely. :(
Always wished I had an older brother. . .any guys out there want to adopt a little sister? :pray: :pray: :pray:

Daniel

This is a hard thing to answer without getting all woo woo on everyone, but has a lot to do with longing, what the Germans describe as Sehnsucht. I get glimmers of this kind of longing when I listen to great music or see great art, sit on a cushion meditating or make love. It's as though all these things are pointing to something else. My mind calls it Love. I want to wake up to that more and more each day.

Aw sweetie, ya can get as Woo Woo as ya want with us - me, I'm ALL about the Woo Woo.

I wonder. . .I think I experience the same thing you describe. . .hard to know if we are feeling the same thing, but it might be. Beautiful sentiment. But for me, also painful.

I think they ARE pointing to something else. I'm SURE they are.

I love all the responses to last person you danced with.. you all had some great ones.... dogs, stuffed dinosaurs.... don't get be wrong... I'm not much better..

hugs or kisses? hugs
would you rather be rich or famous? famous.... but for something worthwhile... not something lame
who's the last person you danced with? my younger sister

cats or dogs? cats if I have to pick one

new questions...
favorite day of the week?

tdogg

06-02-2006, 06:08 PM

Hey Jennifer, I think a lavendar room with one dark purple wall would look great, but I'm a purple lover! Or possibly pastel greens, pinks & white trim...

Funny movies
Kisses or hugs - depends on my mood
Rich or famous? Well if I was rich, I would end up giving it all away and then possibly be famous for that...maybe famous for something good
Last person I danced with - either my honey or my little dog (she's a person to me!)
Symbol/avatar - probably a bird - raptor, or an arabian horse running free
Bedroom - white with a blue wall - soon to be 2 blue walls - ocean theme
Sunny days (with an occasional rainy one if I don't feel well - snuggle up on the couch with a warm blanket, hot tea and a movie
Siblings - I'm the oldest, then a full sister, then brother (step but my dad adopted very young), then a 1/2 sister-our individual goal growing up was to be the only child (Zerbie!) but now I'm glad I have a bro and sisters, although my brother has some issues (drugs, no job, lives in a motel, etc)
Cats/dogs - dogs definitely, when the 2 cats are gone - although I love them - no more cats
Favorite day of the week - any day I can sleep in, I love my every other Friday off and Saturdays

has anyone asked this yet = Favorite smell?? (horses, ocean, Romance Silver - for men but it smells yummy on my GF.)

Zerbie

06-02-2006, 06:18 PM

Hey Jennifer,

Sure I'd love a little sister!!! That would be great! :)

'Sides, we operate kinda like a family on here already. :rainbow:

As a Lonely Only I'm happy to adopt any of ya who wants another sister, big or little. :D

And yeah, I always did want to have an older brother. . . guess I wanted someone strong and protective when I was young and alone.

Thanks Jenn! :love:

I like the purple too, but I think for walls I'm ready to change that.... the other one would probably look amazing, but I don't think I'd be able to live with the pink... not a big fan.... Thanks though.... I'm sure they would look amazing.:love:

Favorite smell? rain, flowers....

last person you yelled at? Some woman driving in a car (I was driving behind her), flicking her cigarette ashes outside her car and then tossing the still lit butt out of the car - one of my HUGEST pet peeves :mad: :mad:

GREAT THREAD!!!

What a list is right! I feel like I can hardly keep up...the pace seems like it's now at the snowball stage. Woe to those just being introduced to it!

"What would you change" could come very close to "what do you regret". And even though I have no regrets that I can think of, this is what I would change: I would have plucked up my courage and not gone to Evangel College where I was 'safe' but unchallenged in matters of faith and as a musician. To be blunt: I didn't learn what I needed to know at Evangel in both areas, but then, being something of an autodidact, I eventually found my Way. And I also would have come out as an openly gay man at a much younger age- say early 20's rather than late 20's. The time when I could have been exploring Relationship and growing as a person was instead spent all pent up and filled with way too much anxiety and fear.

Question: How old were you when you had your first real kiss?

Answer: 28

Question: How old were you when you had your first real kiss?

Answer: 28

Heheheh! can ya define "REAL" for us please?

First ever opposite- sex kiss, no actual feeling involved, just doing it b/c it was "what you do." : 16

First same-sex kiss: 24. Wow! :D

First opposite-sex kiss that I really wanted: 28. Once again, Wow! :D

How's that answer?! :lol: :lol: :lol:

trulyme212

06-03-2006, 03:45 PM

Favorite smell? there are certian people that just smell good...i can't describe it!
what is your nickname? don't have one

Ok, here it goes:

What is your guilty pleasure?
(Sex is not a valid answer for this question, to those of you whose minds prefer the gutter:p )

My answer: Little Debbie (or one of those snack companies) makes these little cakes called "Fudge Rounds" that I can't resist! The dollar store next to my job sells them and I'll buy a pack of 8 for $1 and keep the box either in my car or in my locker at work so I can have one or two whenever and not share :o ... yes, it's horrible of me, I know, but that's why it's my own little guilty pleasure.

Zerbie

06-03-2006, 07:19 PM

First kiss that I really wanted: 18

Not too long ago...

Craziest dream or aspiration: to make a major difference... I'll confess that I used to have aspirations to become the "Gay Gandhi". I even drew up plans for an organization based on Gandhi much like this one. You can imagine my joy when I found that one was already set up and running that I could join. People used to say it would be too hard and wish me luck, but apparently SoulForce has proven that it IS possible AND working!

Omigosh, Mia, me too!!!!!!! First had the thought when I was about 7. I also thought I wouldn't be the one to start it, b/c I probably wouldn't know how, but that I would be good as a central volunteer when someone else started it. So like you, total WHEEEE! moment when I discovered someone had started Soulforce a couple years ago. Now, how to actually get concretely involved. ?

I still wish I could be involved in activism/making change for our community on a full-time basis, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards for me. :( I always feel shuffled aside whenever I try to find out how I can do so. After decades of trying, I have finally about given up on that dream. :(
So I putter around this forum instead. :p

Zerbie

06-03-2006, 07:24 PM

[QUOTE=Daniel. I was thinking along the lines of a kiss that really meant something...you know....beyond the experimental stage.[/QUOTE]

Oh well, I'd say every kiss before I found my husband was in some way experimental. :p

Guilty pleasure: Mia, I love sex, but I'm not counting it because I don't feel guilty about enjoying it. ;)

I'd hafta say: salt. I love salty foods. I tend to eat so "healthy" people can't believe my hankering for salt. Yummmmmm. :)

There are many things I enjoy more than eating salty foods, but - that's the only one I can think of that I ever feel guilty about. :D

Zerbie

06-03-2006, 07:32 PM

Addicted to: Yoga, and this forum. Yoga is not a bad thing to be hooked on, but if ya hafta get a fix in while riding in a passenger plane, sometimes it scares the other passengers. But I do it anyway.:p ;)
This forum: again, not a bad thing to be addicted to.

Hobbies: tough one, I waste all my free moments on the internet. But I still like writing. n' counted cross stitch. And I've got an herb and vegetable garden, lotsa yummy green things growing, and fragrant lavender.

Worst movie I ever saw: Hmm, probably "Morons from Outer Space" I've blanked on most of it.

Daniel

06-03-2006, 08:58 PM

Like Zerbie, I'm addicted to this forum. And thinking about the voice, of course. That's a major one. Another is color and form as expressed in one's living space.

Worst Movie: Plan 9 from Outer Space. So bad it's funny.

Hobbies: Old books. Old recordings. Old furniture. Old Old Old. From another time and place.

Where I grew up:

in New Jersey. East Windsor, to be specific.

Yes, that is where I first got cluck-U. Now they are starting to spread- the one I get is in North Jersey.

Cluck U is taking over the world.

For all those who have never experienced- they really are the best Buffalo WIngs in the world.

Oh and there was The Concoction: When i was 8 or 9 some pals & I were trying to one-up each other for eating bad-tasting food combinations. I ultimately came up with something only I could tolerate (and just barely):

Chicken-noodle soup with added equal parts chocolate and strawberry syrup mixed in. :sick: Alas, my mom made me finish the whole bowl! :eek: :lol: yech. Stopped me from playing with food. . . .:p

Mia14

06-05-2006, 11:28 PM

worst-tasting thing? hmm.....

hard to think of something I hated so much. I guess we could count that I hate flan - mostly because of the texture. I had a friend's father make some and give my family a whole bunch to take home because I pretended to like it, but it was so oily and jiggly :sick:, but not in the good jiggly way that Jello is. Flan... BLEH!! My disgust with flan has run itself into a distaste for custard in general.

Name something you did that you're proud of:
I jumped off a bridge in Ecuador, suspended by a special rope that let me swing back and forth under it. It was crazy and I was too scared to do it until my little brother did and then I thought "well if he can, I can, too" and I did!

Vanessa White

06-06-2006, 10:16 AM

Worst taste? Liver or Deer meat- it's a tie for me.
Most proud of? Two "births" of sorts: my daugher, and the creation of a training curriculum for child welfare workers to assess the needs of LGBTQ youths

New questions:

Prefer romantic dinner at home or intimate restaurant?
what color hair and eyes do you have?
Ethnic background of family?

I would prefer romance at home, or other person's home, so you have privacy, dont get rushed through your meal, can hold hands, etc. if you want;
I have dark brown hair and hazle eyes
I am a Heinz 57 mix of ethnicities, including Scottish, German, and French, but what I most identify with is Native American on my mother's side- Poarch Band Creek Indians, that hail out of Alabama. My mom is about 1/4 and is actually registered officially with the tribe!

06-07-2006, 09:25 AM

and the other part of that question was... where and what of...

would that be because she's on the bed taking up all the space?

My tattoo is on the outside of my right ankle. It is two Mandarin characters that mean "the ancient one is within" I got it the day before I converted to Eastern Orthodoxy along with two other friends who were also converting.

Yes my dog takes up most of the space in my bed, but also we always talk and snuggle right before we go to sleep and as soon as we wake up in the morning. So it is our "special" time together.

angels or miracles? can't have one without the other ;)

Here's a new one - have any plush animals? What are they?

We have 124 stuffies. About a third of them are bunny rabbits because I insist on buying cute rabbit plush when I see it (pre-Easter shopping gets harrowingly expensive in this house!)

Proud of: My Masters Degree from Northwestern University. Never thought I'd go back to school...now I'm in debt up to my eyeballs, but it was GREAT! And I'm so proud of my school!

Prefer romantic dinner at home or intimate restaurant? Restaurant. Hey, if I got a date, I'm showing the world!!!

Ethnic background of family? German/Polish

sugar/salt: I dunno..

chocolate/flowers: Flowers

sunrise/sunset: Sunrise. I live on Lake Michigan, and sometimes the sunrise in the winter turns the mist into flames! Breathtaking!!

Spring/Fall: Spring

give/receive: Well, both I think

Angels/miracles: Angels. Just had a conversation with one the other dream, but don't remember what I was told, darn it.

tall: 6'2''

hair/eye color?: Dark Blond/ Blue

Carnival ride: Used to be the Tilt-o-whirl

plush animals? What are they? His name is Arfy. He's a very old doggy of the loveworn velveteen variety. He's been with me since I was a wee lad. Got 'im from some family that threw him out.

Duct tape/Scotch: Duct tape!

Candy/Soda: Mountain Dew all the way, baby!

Church?: Yeah...but it's a singing gig. I miss my old ELCA Lutheran Church in Stillwater, OK.

New question: Any scars??Each shoulder (one chasing a rabbit...don't know where the other came from), upper lip (brother pushed me off the porch step), chin (fell off the curb going to Church one rainy morning), top of left index finger (hatchet accident when I was wee), right finger (lawnmower pull cord), and I hurt my paw today...so I'm going to have one each on my left pinky and ring finger....Oowwww!!!

Owwww! Dash!!!!! Sorry 'bout the ouch today. :'(

Scars: Aye. One long one extends from beneath my left breast, under the shoulder and to the spine in back. Heart surgery as a toddler. Also a round scar on my left ribcage where they inserted a tube. I used to think the marks made me physically repulsive. :'( But that wasn't true. :) Lovers have stroked it telling me they're thankful the surgery saved my life. :love: :pray: :)

A little scar on the wrist from when my hand went through a glass door. And a small one below the kneecap from a fall onto a tiny rock that lodged in a bit.

Daniel

Proud of: Awakening my inner autodidact, finding joy in exercising my curiousity and 10 years of discovery at the New York Public Library. "There's gold in them hills!"

Prefer romantic dinner at home or intimate restaurant? Home.

Ethnic background of family? Hungarian, Pennsylvania-Dutch.

sugar/salt: a little of both.....though I understand a lot of both is not a good thing: Japanese health, which was once more salt oriented, has been ravaged by the introduction of sugar. Causes heart disease it seems. At least for them.

chocolate/flowers: Flowers

sunrise/sunset: Sunset- not up early enought to see the dawn....except today...as I write this.

Spring/Fall: Fall.

give/receive: There is nothing like a great massage. Though find myself bringing home flowers often.

Angels/miracles: Angels- once had a past-life regression and found myself talking to an angel.

tall: 6'1''

hair/eye color?: dark brown/grey-green

Carnival ride: A few weeks after I met my husband we took the carousel ride in Central Park along with the kids and laughed and laughed.

plush animals: I have a teddy bear that my mother made for me when I was 7 or 8. He's brown with felt feet that have long since worn off and is stuffed with pantyhose.

Duct tape/Scotch: Duct

Candy/Soda: Neither. Water or Wine for me. (New Question here perhaps?)

Church?: Not at the moment. Like Dash I sang in church professionally for many years which, at least for me, gave me a peculiar perspective. Hubby is an organist and I go with him occasionally to his church and sing myself silly. Anglican hymns can still make me cry...it's the tunes more than the words at times. I sit on my 'cushion' twice a day and miss occasionally and try not to fuss about that. Better not to force such things.

Any scars? On the back of my head. I fell down a flight of steps as a kid and cracked my head open. A week later I did it again and had to be sewn back up. Same doctor each time.

New Question: Sci-Fi or C-Span?

New Question: Wine- Red or White?

Sci-Fi or C-Span? Neither, CNN or AMC

something you did that you're proud of: I worked 25 hours/week during my junior year of (full-time) college while maintaining a GPA worthy of the Dean's List.

Sci-Fi or C-Span?: Scifi
Wine- Red or White?: Not a fan of alcohol, sorry.
Favorite actor/actress?: Johnny Depp. Julia Stiles.

Jen, awediot is just trying to throw us all off, so don't be fooled!!

Answers to most current questions:
Definitely, the first set of smiley icons- the cheerier the better!!!
As far as viewing those of us here as friends or family? In good times and bad, for the last six months, this group has been comfort and joy, relief and release, and I am so grateful for it every day. That could mean family, or friends, or both depending on the day. Life is a total roller coaster, and thank you to all that are along for my bumpy ride.....

New question: Does true love only happen once in a lifetime?
Boxers, briefs, or bikini????????

Lydia

06-09-2006, 09:39 PM

do you feel like all of us here are considered friends/family?: Friends, yep.
do you like arts and crafts?: Sporadically, yeah.
do you like these smilies : I prefer the happy ones.
Does true love only happen once in a lifetime?: Are you talking about soulmates? Can't say I believe in that concept. I think there's a lot of people out there that each one of us could be happy with.
Boxers, briefs, or bikini????????: Boxers.

I appreciate ALL the emoticons.

friends: Here? many casual friends:) , a few who are becoming close:love: , and one little sister:weee: . :D

Arts/crafts: Rotten at most of that. But talented for embroidery and counted cross stitch. IF I get round to it.

do you like arts and crafts? love them... not always very good... but fun.

Does true love only happen once in a lifetime? no, I think it would happen more often if people were just more outgoing about how they felt, and who they are... it would save everyone a lot of time trying to find 'the one'

Boxers, briefs, or bikini? ummm..... I'm not sure I can anwser that

I like the first set of smilies better!!!

....... I need a moment to think of a question...

Boxers of briefs: My...We're getting personal, aren't we? I once let myself be talked into appearing onstage in a show at Lincoln Center in a dress and heels with two leggy chorus girls on either side. Might this suffice for an embarassing disclosure? (I actually had a great time. My female colleagues were jealous of the 45 minutes of makeup I got and the stage crew...well...let's just say there was some interesting energy flying around. Oh...I had a blonde Marilyn Monroe wig from another production called Marilyn Monroe: The Opera. The director was in the original production of La Cage as one of les girls. He lent me his shoes: size 11. You can't make this stuff up. )

Since we're gettin' personal.....

Color to wear a lot: My closet is a rainbow. I literally CAN'T base a wardrobe on one or two colors. Must Have Them All. Except yellow and white which both make me look like the crypt keeper. I wore a blue dress at my wedding, if that tells you how much I hate and loathe white.

Uh, I really don't think. . .

. . .the things I can think of that I've done that I would consider outrageous are simply not things I'm willing to post on a public forum. But I'm sure some people have a different definition of outrageous.

Like, in my performing career I've had to do some outrageous things onstage. Simulated sex in orgy scenes, things like that.

but the worst was in a chorus of Faust, we were to hold in a "freeze" position for several minutes, and I was directed to balance on a chair in a spread-eagle straddle position, facing the audience, then lean my head back over the backrest while a male chorus member stuck his tongue out and held it an inch from my open mouth. Of course, not only did I have to hold this position for about 3 painful minutes, they costumed me in a titty-popping bustier (hot pink) to make my cleavage abnormally gigantic, and on my bottom half, FLOURESCENT GREEN LACE KNICKERS. All of this with long golden blonde hair strewn over the back of the chair and across one breast. I looked like something out of an 1880s porn photo. Only in flourescent colors. :lol:

I looked like something out of an 1880s porn photo. Only in flourescent colors. :lol:

When you come outside and play- you go for broke! That's pretty hilarious!

Isn't being onstage fun?!

A partcular fond memory of mine :rolleyes: is appearing in Harvey Milk (the opera) and 'cruising' the rambles and trying to pick up to a tenor friend (who has a talent for cracking me up). A later scene had a us storming through doors in very bag drag yelling "Out of the bars and into the streets!" and then a quick change to a sparkle-y blue (and very scratchy) tube top and marching across the stage twirling a baton. I had nightmares of losing my grip and beaning someone in the orchestra.

Oh Daniel, You got me beat! A sparkly blue tube top and a baton? Oh yes, that trumps my pink & green slut pose.

Stagings - for some reason, all the choruses I sang in, I tended to be assigned the "slut" bits - mounting and kissing Tom Rakewell in a brothel, the straddle thingy already described, others. . .same production of Faust had me sliding down the steep raked stage on one knee to mount a soldier lying face up downstage. I've also simulated interesting things on a 10-inch salt-shaker (strange director:rolleyes: ).

I've also had 2 episodes of clothing falling off during performances. After a sarong-style blouse popped open in front of 200 audience members revealing my see-through lace bra (which thank goodness at least matched my ensemble :) , despite not hiding anything strategic:() I was told I could make it in porn. Oh gee, thanks. :rolleyes:

BTW Daniel, forgot to ask - how is the Harvey Milk opera? I think I've heard it doesn't work too well as an opera. But can't remember.

BTW Daniel, forgot to ask - how is the Harvey Milk opera? I think I've heard it doesn't work too well as an opera. But can't remember.

One wants to be nice, but in a word: awful! Merthinks the composer didn't have a sufficient grasp on certain matters like orchestration, which was thick and muddy. It was a chore to 'hack' through, both musically and dramatically. The piece started with Harvey's murder, which may have worked in films like The Letter and Pscyho, but is this case removed the only tension in the story. The work didn't do what any story of this type should do: soar!

Hey! I've always wanted to sing The Rakes Progress! I love Stravinsky. What a great great great composer....hard to sing but worth the effort. You lucky girl! I'm jealous! You ain't go me beat by a long shot!

What outrageous thing have you done? I asked my partner to dance a slow one with me, on our first 'date' - well it started off as a friendly christmas party and ended up at the gay bar where I asked her to dance - the look on her face was priceless. That actually wasn't all that outrageous considering my personality. I did go skinny dipping once in the river with some crazy friends...and tons of people around - my name was called all night (this isn't a moment I would enjoy reliving by the way!)
Breakfast: very often I like lunch and dinner type foods - spaghetti an pizza are the best! Otherwise, traditional breakfast would be ham, potatoes and biscuit & gravy with fresh squeezed OJ
