In the words of..

The lyrics meme, which I found while reading figmo's journal

In the words of the Grateful Dead:

1) are you male or female?

"But I can't deny, times have gone by,
Well I never had doubts or thoughts of regret,
And I was a man when all this began,
Who wouldn't think twice about being there yet."

-Black Throated Wind

2) describe yourself?

"Here beside him stands a man, a soldier from the looks of him,
Who came through many fights, but lost at love."

-Lady With a Fan

3) how do some people feel about you?

"One of them cowboys, he starts to draw,
And I shot him down, Lord he never saw."

-Me and My Uncle

4) how do you feel about yourself?

"I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
But at least I'm enjoying the ride, at least I'll enjoy the ride."

-Hell in a Bucket

5) describe your girlfriend/boyfriend/interest situation:

"Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee"

-Friend of the Devil

6) where would you rather be?

"Standing on the moon
With nothing else to do"

-Standing on the Moon

7) describe where you live:

"Somewhere in San Francisco"

-Standing on the Moon

8) describe where you are from:

"Their wall are built of cannonballs, their motto is "Don't tread on me"."

-Uncle John's Band

9) describe how you live:

"It takes dynamite to get me up
Too much of everything is just enough
One more thing I just got to say
I need a miracle every day"

-I Need A Miracle

10) describe how you love:

"I need a woman 'bout twice my weight
A ton of fun who packs a gun with all her freight"

-I Need A Miracle

11) share a few words of wisdom:

"Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few:
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools."

-Ship of Fools

"I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears, but it's all right

"Oh well a touch of gray, kinda suits you anyway,
That's all I had to say, but it's all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive."

-Touch of Grey

A timely meme

Since we're ramping up to a move...

1. How many houses/apartments have you lived in throughout your life?

Not counting barracks? Nine

2. Which was your favorite and why?

Probably the place Kirsten and I shared in downtown San Jose. It was our first place together, right after we got engaged, and we had pets. Lots of them. Little, shiny brown pets. We had some great times there.

3. Do you find moving house more exciting or stressful? Why?

Yes. I look forward to the new place and a new neighborhood, and getting to clear out some of our clutter; but it is very stressful trying to get everything together and then unpacked. Traditionally, I've been the one who does the majority of the work in our moves.

4. What's more important, location or price?

For us, price.

5. What features does your dream house have (pool, spa bath, big yard, etc.)?

Steam room, hot tub, and a large separate building that I can use for gaming without disturbing other residents (since all our sweeties would live there, of course!)

LOL!

OK, I'm finally done.

Today, I caught on all the net stuff I needed to do. All emails have been answered, quizzes taken, Usenet messages given thoughtful constructed replies or flames as needed, and some research done.

I am logging off. I am whimpering for a while.

Oh, and the Giants won 5 - 0. We're 6 and 0!
