1. I collected black and white postcards while I was on my mission in Geneva Switzerland. Most of them were of couples kissing (I don't know why because I wasn't particularly missing this). My favorite was one of an older lady dressed up like a queen and feeding chickens.
2. I wrote a short story when I lived in Ohio about this woman called "Queen of the Chickens." I never finished the story, because she stopped talking to me. It could be that she was upset that she died fairly early in the story. It could also be that I lost quite a bit of my soul, hope and creative desire during this time. I hope to one day finish this story. She bugs me about it every once in awhile. But all she says is "The story's not done." She doesn't tell me what happens next.
3. I told someone once that he has a reputation for not forgiving others. I have regretted this because I have since realized I have this same propensity. I try very hard to forgive and move on, but I don't. If you severely hurt me or mine, I don't forgive. I also realize this does not hurt the person I'm not forgiving. I hope one day to learn how to completely forgive someone even when they continue to be an ass. I hope when I do learn, I can teach others how to do the same.
4. I sometimes say ass. And various other benign swear words. Most of the time, I don't care unless I slip around my kids.
5. I love words that most people have heard before but don't know the meaning of and I like to use them frequently. I download them quite often to my notebook so I can remember them later. And by download, I mean write. My favorite word of the moment is esoteric.
6. I love this picture of me:
7. I love Tom Lehrer and I love to play Masochism Tango on the piano.
Oh and I love Viggo Mortensen. But I don't think that's a unknown fact to most people.
I tag Tiffany and Brandon.
Brilliant! Feel the encouragement I currently am emitting to you to finish your story about the queen of chickens. This sound effect may be of benefit: Bzzzzrt!
ReplyDeleteRemember the delightful b&w postcard you sent me of an old, large and naked woman standing against a tree facing away from the camera in a forest or wood? That was MMmm good.
Now I must blog about that postcard.
ReplyDeleteSasha your pic is very "Red Dawn", and I totally agree with the Viggo thing.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I was gonna say! TOTALLY "Red Dawn!" And Viggo! Stop stealing my comments Carrie!
ReplyDeleteBut one more thing that Carrie forgot, is that I enjoyed this post greatly, Sasha.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see the Queen of Chickens. And read your book. I think the next chapter is about eggs.
ReplyDeleteThat is a Red Dawnlike picture. Carrie, you remember movies well. Sasha looks like Patrick Swayze.
I just saw a movie where Viggo's weener was dangling in full view as he fought Russian dudes in a bathhouse.
I will be scanning the "Queen of the Chickens" postcard when I find it. Oh and the one that Joel mentions as well since it is his favorite.
ReplyDeleteIf I can find the story (I'm sure its around somewhere), I'll post it. Maybe the Queen will talk to you since she's not talking to me.
And I don't believe its Patrick Swayze that I look like. Maybe Charlie Sheen though.
As for the ladies, a close friend that I work with created a Viggo calendar for me for Christmas. Its the most beautiful thing ever. I can't wait for February because it has a pic of Viggo without the shirt. Hmm diggity!
I think this comment needs to be longer.
i saw that movie Paul. Was all that nudity really necessary? I think Viggo just wanted to flaunt. I liked him much better in Lord of the Rings and Hidalgo.
ReplyDeleteyes it was necessary, because it showed his a)vulnerability and b)tats and c) dangling weener, a symbol of his love for naomi.
ReplyDeleteUmm are these the universal signs??
