Confessional/ Q & A day

For those of you who read my TMI post yesterday, I have a confession to make:

it was truth or scare in disguise.

The entire story is true except the last paragraph. Though I was the waitress of the family in question, years after the camp events described, I did not contaminate their food with any of my bodily juices.

Confessing that the end of the story is untrue is not very fun. In fact, I feel my ego deflating a bit as I type this now.

I wish I was that person -- someone able to perform acts of sweet revenge.

But, in my six years (plus) as a waitress, I never once messed with anyone's food. I mean, I may have peed once mid-shift and neglected to wash my hands, but let's be honest -- who hasn't done that a time or two?

I'm crestfallen. Yesterday marks the first time I have fabricated a story for TMI Thursday.

(It's way more fun to tell the truth.)

I feel there is a penance to pay -- that I must redeem myself for the untruth that was told.

I think the only way to do this is to find out what you want to know.

Ask me the difficult questions, readers. Ask me anything your little hearts desire.

I will be accountable for answering them all. I've been wanting to do this for some time anyway, so don't hold back.

(Bring it on.)

Um...yeah...*shifty-eyed*...I didn't kill anyone by poisoning their thick slices of tomato with floor-sweepings, either. *shifty-eyed*

Are they real?

lol, I was so tempted a few times as a waitress to get back at a rude customer, but like you, I didn't have the stones to go through with it.

Hmm, questions. Why did you choose to write literary fiction?

(i only ask because based on the "voice" you have in your blog, I would have pegged you to write something lighter that would give you more opportunity to use your sense of humor.)

Okay...(and remember you asked for it), how did you lose your innocence? Back up the truck! Did I just ask that? Yes, I did.

Oh that's okay, we forgive you. And you just inspired a new post for me, so thank you! As for a question, I have ten, only because I asked them of Tina on her 10th postday celebration and I enjoyed her answers. It'll be fun reading yours too:

1. Coke or Pepsi?

2. Star Wars or Star Trek?

3. Elvis or The Beatles?

4. Edward or Jacob?

5. TV or internet?

6. Fame or fortune?

7. Lip gloss or lipstick?

8. Beach or mountains?

9. Jet plane or cruise ship?

10. Hugs or kisses?

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

a little ashamed

I've been feeling a little guilty lately. I think I'm sort of obsessed with my own blog. Seriously, I adore coming home for lunch in the middle of my workday. My plan is always to sit down and write. It's the perfect time to work. There are no distractions (other than the hungry rumble in my tummy) or reasons that I shouldn't be able to churn out a good amount of words before I head back to the world of checking account deposits and cash-in tickets. However, I find that when I come home for lunch, all I want to do is blog. My reader is full as a good girl's Christmas stocking, and then there's my own post -- just waiting to be written. Something alarmingly witty, for sure. Something that will generate the multiple comments I will hungrily read from my cell phone when I sneak out for a cigarette break at 4:00. So, I avoid the writing -- you know, of the fiction variety. I sit here, instead watching the text fill the blank screen of a New Po...

Sarah, Plain and Tall

Seriously, Sarah? I am more irritated with you now than I was when you called Katie Couric perky on Oprah this week (and wasn't that the annoying pot calling the whistling kettle black?) and more irritated than I was when the interview with Katie Couric aired and you couldn't think of one book or magazine that you read on the regular. (Oh, I'm sorry - you chose not to disclos e the titles of books and magazines and newspaper you devour, because Katie Couric was annoying you and treating you like an uneducated inuit.) Maybe you should have just swallowed your ego and mentioned Newsweek. I mean, I'm not suggesting that the cover page would look different if you had, but could you try any harder to alienate the media? I know, I know, they are all evil, with their leftist agendas and loose morals. I understand. It's so difficult when the world won't give a feminist maverick a fighting chance, and harder still when that maverick has been ordered to stay on scrip...
