It was with great trepidation that I went balls-to-the-wall and let the intensely amusing and crazy Avitable ask me questions in this very different kind of meme. What makes it different? Well first of all, it is not the sort of meme that you get tagged with or that you can just steal. Oh no, you have to follow the instructions at the bottom of this post if you want to play. And you know me...I want you ALL to play!!!
Hold on to your hats and glasses...here we go!
1. If you had to choose between a large bald man with
psychopathic tendencies or a large hairy man with sociopathic
tendencies, which would you choose and why?
Seriously? This question should read: Fab or Avitable? Vote now! So I am going to say neither....I'll take slightly hairy with egopathy for a hundred, Alex.
2. Were you unhappy before and are you happy now?
Before
when? LOL. Actually, I lived a lot of my early adulthood in an
unhappy place because I refused to let go of the past then change
myself for a better future. I was miserable until one day I had a
wake-up call which started me down a path of enlightenment. In any
case, I am definitely a happy person mostly all of the time. Even when
things are going badly and I have no idea what to make of my life, deep
down inside I am still positive and blissful. I guess it boils down to
recognizing that there are things in my life that might make me feel
miserable from time to time, but that I can keep changing them as well
as evolving in order to keep a content state of mind. You can't steal
mah sunshine!
3. How much sex is too much sex?
Is
there such a thing? I mean shoooot....I haven't even reached that
threshold yet so I can't begin to tell you. Even though I am in my mid
30's (sexual peak), I have a feeling that I could efine too much sex
as the moment I start whispering, "owieee, my hoo-ha is sooo sore!".
4. What is your #1 favorite movie of all time?
Oh
I am about to go girl ninja on your tooshie here, for sure. I think
that I have to define my favorite movie as one that I can watch over
and over without getting sick of it. Therefore it has to be Pride & Prejudice. Oh come on, we all swoon for Mr. Darcy. Any man that can say, "You have bewitched me, body and soul." and get away with it is a true slice of yummy.
5. What would you do for a million dollars?
I
would let some cute drunk guy lick a tattoo onto my chest. Oh wait,
did that and did not get a mill. Hrm, there isn't much that I wouldn't
do as long as it did not hurt someone else in the process. Streaking
naked through the office? No problem! Watching every back-epsiode of
Oprah Winfrey? Bring me the booze and you're on! Write "Avitable is a big strapping stud"
at the end of every post? Why not! Become a vegetarian? Easy peasy!
Give up the Internet for a year? Uhhhh, we're hitting "maybe land"
now. Stop wearing lip gloss? Woah...*twitch*, you might have found my
kryptonite!
Here are the instructions to continue:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me, you saucy wench!"
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
When Mr. Darcy comes strutting in through the fog, I laughed...the wife swooned. Victorian stuff totally goes over my head.
Anyway, this is a fun meme. I'm in. Interview me, you saucy wench!

Posted by: sizzle | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 01:18 AM
Sigh...Mr Darcy.
Alright, interview me you saucy wench!
Posted by: HolyGirl | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 03:12 AM
Hmmmmm to be interviewed or not to be interviewed... THAT is the question....
Oh hell, go for it. Pick five that won't get me arrested, OK?
Posted by: Kyra | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 04:30 AM
Mr Darcy...I loooooove him. *sigh* He makes me swoon. In general, P and P has to be the most beautiful, well-done movie ever. I literally can watch it over and over. It's on cable now, and it's like a magical noose!
I try not to fight such magic! :-D
I liked your meme answers, but my mind is still tickling with the balls-to-the-wall comment... Heh! and that last one, your lip gloss being Kryptonite? heeheee! Funny girl.
I like it when you do these.
Posted by: Bully | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 04:30 AM
Neither? And then you misspell my name? I'll just go cry now!
And you can email me questions and I'll answer them in your comments.
Posted by: Avitable | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 05:21 AM
Swoooooon, Mr. Darcy. Yum!
Interview me, you saucy wench, and make them good! :0)
Posted by: Les | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 05:35 AM
I love a good bandwagon! Interview me, you saucy wench! No restrictions, because I'm learning to live without them.
I fell in love with Colin Firth a lo-o-o-ng time ago, when I saw him in The Secret Garden. That was back in the '80s. You DO know he's in The English Patient, don't you?
Posted by: Fruitcake | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 06:08 AM
Interview me, you saucy wench! And may you never have a sore hoo-ha.
Posted by: Karl | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 06:40 AM
You saucy wench, interview me! Oh wait, I got that wrong, didn't I? *sigh*
Posted by: shari | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 07:04 AM
*sigh* Colin Firth. I always found it peculiar that he played Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones' Diary since Bridget is supposed to have a thing for Colin Firth. And yes, he is indeed in The English Patient. Thank you Fruitcake for the reminder. I usually watch that one for Ralph Fiennes and Willem Dafoe.
Anyway. Interview me, you saucy wench!
Posted by: Dagny | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 07:23 AM
OKAY EVERYONE UP UNTIL THIS POINT...QUESTIONS ON THE WAY WITHIN THE HOUR!
Posted by: Hilly | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 08:22 AM
Hey.. I did the exact same meme today. My questions were of a completely different variety.
I would call anyone a strapping stud every day for $1,000,000.
Posted by: Rachel | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 08:38 AM
PS - I MAY ASK SOME OF YOU ONE OR TWO OF THE SAME QUESTIONS BUT IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M A CHEAP DATE....MORE LIKE I WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWERS FROM MORE THAN ONE PERSON!
Posted by: Hilly | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 08:46 AM
ME! ME! ME!
Am I too late?
Posted by: whoorl | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 08:59 AM
Rachel - I think it depends on who is asking the questions.
Whoorl - Not late at all...this goes on all day, all night and into the weekend. It's a house party, ya'll ;). I'm just asking the questions in groups so I am not sitting here all day long, LOL!
Posted by: Hilly | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 09:03 AM
Interview me, you saucy wench with a tenacity unforeseen by blogkind
Posted by: furiousball | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 09:14 AM
Oh I'm game if you're still askin'!! Interview me, you saucy wench!
Posted by: Lisa | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 09:40 AM
Am I horribly wrong for being scared of this meme?
But then again, I did already puss out of the "I believe" bit that was going around. So maybe I should wear my pair and let you.
Do I?
Don't I?
Oh hell, you're probably going to ask me anyway just to spite me, aren't you?
Fine, interview me, you saucy wench!
Posted by: kapgar | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 09:46 AM
FB - Done and doner!
Lisa - Okay on its way later today.
Kevin - I don't think you are wrong to be scared. Hell, it's a huge undertaking....a mutual friend of ours didn't do it and I may not have done it if I wasn't home with strep. However, the good news is that we know half of the same people so that will cut your interviews in half, I hope..for your sake ;). And spite is a little harsh...mischief it bettah ;).
Posted by: Hilly | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 09:54 AM
Wow I don't think I have ever been interviewed & I haven't seen P&P - maybe I should. Will this be hard? Will I be at a big disadvantage for not having tv for an eon? Am I too late? OK try - please interview me, you saucy wench!
Posted by: PocketCT | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 12:45 PM
am i the only 36-year old that has passed her prime? *sigh* my poor boyfriend... ;o)
oh, what the hell -- interview me, you saucy wench!
Posted by: jodi | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 01:04 PM
A weekend house party?! Oh hell yes! I'll even put on the expensive lip gloss for the occasion. Interview ME, you sauciest of wenches...
Posted by: Laurel | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 02:38 PM
Mmmm.
I love 'the look' Darcy gives Lizzy.
You know the one.
Any man looking at me that way would result in me instantly dropping trou.
Posted by: Eileen Dover | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 02:49 PM
interview me you saucy wench! (seriously, I just wanted to call you a saucy wench, but if you want to send me some questions, I'm cool with that too :) )
Also, I don't know a woman Mr. Darcy does not make swoon...
Posted by: suze | Friday, April 13, 2007 at 08:08 PM
Everyone's going Austen Loco!
Interview me you Saucy Wench! :)
Posted by: Tusk | Saturday, April 14, 2007 at 02:59 AM
Okay everyone up to this point should have their questions :).
And Eileen, yes....that look makes my tummy tingle every damned time.
Posted by: Hilly | Saturday, April 14, 2007 at 07:49 AM
Interview me you Saucy Wench!
But can I request a PG rated version????
Posted by: vickie | Saturday, April 14, 2007 at 12:54 PM
By the way, love this meme. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone else's answers.
Posted by: Dagny | Saturday, April 14, 2007 at 07:35 PM
Interview me, dear lady, if you please.
I refuse to call a woman "wench." The last time I did, I received a ballistic house slipper to the head, courtesy of my mother, who apparently was not aware that the term "wench" was a term of endearment in the Shakespearean era...
Posted by: Dariush | Sunday, April 15, 2007 at 07:07 PM
Hilly, asked and answered!
1. If you HAD to switch places with a MALE blogger for one day, who would it be and why?
Probably Dave from Blogography. I'd love to have his skills and his blog audience.
2. Cheese...the stinkier the better or tame like cheddar?
Cheddar, brie, Swiss. I'm a tame cheese kinda guy.
3. When was the last time you wore a suit and tie?
1994. High School graduation.
4. What is your all time favorite song?
"Piano Man" by Billy Joel
5. Are you having fun with Miss Britt?
Only if by fun you mean an orgy of sex, violence and destruction!

"Interview me, you saucy wench!"
I love that this game isn't one of those ones where you have to forward it to a billion people or be cursed with boils and halitosis for the rest of your days. :)
Posted by: Jen | Monday, April 16, 2007 at 09:00 AM
I know this is a bit old, but I was recently interviewed and decided to track back the source of my interview as far as I could. Eventually I stopped at 10. I hadn't realized how widespread the interview meme was, and was also intrigued by how diverse the blogs that I found were. I'm in a bit of a blogging slump right now, so I thought I'd ask the 10 blogs that I found to interview me and see what happens. You're number 4.
