habit

man, i like the questions from the week before too. here we go. self indulgent day off girl. =)

1. What caused your last case of psuedo-road rage?
who cares. but my favorite thing to do when i piss someone else off is blow them a kiss as they drive by and glare at me, and smile hugely....or, if im feeling extra special obnoxious, make fists with both hands and rub them at the outside corners of my eyes and make a pouty face like im crying, mocking their frustration. hee hee. thats fun. as in 'aww, poor baby, you had to wait an extra 3 seconds to get by me because im trying to park'. fun stuff.

2. Tell me about one of your favorite television shows that was cancelled (past or present).
action starring jay mohr. man, that was possibly one of my favorite shows of all time. wayyyy too short lived. very twisted, very hilarious and very real. lots of celeb pop ups. i have no idea why a show like that would be axed. too much quality, i guess.

3. Have you ever gone online and pretended to be someone else? What's the story there?
no, but its prolly a good way to develop characters for stories.

4. What was (is) one of your favorite Children's books?
when i was a kid it was probably 'the carp in the bathtub', a story i loved to read over and over again. story about two kids who try to rescue a fish in their tub from becoming part of passover dinner. oh man, click that link. #1 that is the coolest font ever. #2 just looking at that cover makes me all choked up because it brings me back to another lifetime that was somehow mine, and to an innocence...and to what anita refers to as the passing of time that brings aging. sigh. caryn, anita...did you guys read this...? nowadays its probably any of robert munsch's brilliant and innovative books, especially the paper bag princess, an absolute MUST for every child everywhere. she is a total badass.

5. Can you recommend a CD (tape or otherwise) for me to listen to on the drive home?
dude, in a word: yield.

6. What is your online nickname and what is the story behind how you selected it?
oshuns. its so multi dimensionally perfect for me...its like my alter ego. it is my alter ego. i love the ocean and find great solace there. the hippie in me has long since wanted to name a daughter (hahaha cuz im so pregnant) ocean. pearl jam has a lovely song called oceans. and i thought the oshuns spelling was rather original, until i found out that there is a goddess known as oshuns, and i dug that too. there are different descriptions of the goddess...here and here, and prolly lots of other places too. its been me for so long i dont remember not being oshuns.

7. Ever been bitten or stung before (snake, wasp, dog, etc)?
stung by a bee twice, once last summer on my freakin boob, as chronicled in this very blog, and once on the temple at summer camp years ago. no bites. unless you count mosquitos. red ones. =)

k its late. bed bed bed. but that was fun. the fucking carp in the bathtub. man oh man. man oh man oh man. i feel like lester burnham looking at the pic at the end of the movie.
