devil doll devil doll...

toccata posted this and i decided to play. my card was way too funny not to post.

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

flip, flop and fly, i don't care when i die...

ok, so i changed the lyrics a little. sue me. :)

so, i stupidly (ha ha) said i would play this game and be interviewed by barbara. my curiosity got the better of me. these were really hard. my brain hurts. where is my flip flop question?

1. If you were able to become a character in a novel or a film, who would you be?

i had a lot of trouble with this question. i couldn't think of anyone, so i started looking at my books and then it hit me. the reason this question is hard is because even as a kid, i never really wanted to be someone else. i would imagine myself in books and films, but very rarely as a character already in the book or film. i always imagined myself as an additional character. most of the females were always damsel in distress types and i never wanted that. although, as i was typing this, i finally figured who i would be. batman. because i want to kick butt, have cool toys, drive a fast car, be super rich and wear black. of course, i would have to be the gay batman but that's a whole different issue.

2. Do you choose sweet or salty snacks?

most people i know would say they know my answer right away. i have blogged about chocolate and my love of cake. i never put salt on my food. so, the answer has to be sweet snacks right? nope. the answer is salty snacks. i don't use salt because i am an addict. put a salt lick out, and i'm on it like a deer. i drink margaritas specifically for their salty rims. and it takes all of my willpower not to like the salt off the rim like an ice cream cone.

that said, i do like my sweets as well.

3. If you had the ability to learn the date and manner of your death, would you want to know?

no. although, if i did know the date of my death, i would be tempted to tell a bunch of people to fuck off. including an ex boss of mine. apart from all the obvious stuff i would do, what i'd actually like to do is clean all my crap up. so that no one would have to do it after i'm gone. (i have learnt this the hard way.)

4. If you were sent to colonize a distant planet, which five people would you bring with you to help with the task?

jesus christ, i don't know any people who would be good for this task! i am assume this is real people i know. and i would want them to have skills to do stuff. my friends so do not have these type of skills. and am i repopulating the planet? cuz that's a whole different skill issue. :) maybe i'm over thinking this. maybe it's just five people i will have to live with for the rest of my life. great. that's even more terrifying. three of my closest friends do not get along with each other very well and i'd rather not take those issues up into space. i have broken this down into five roles that i need to be fulfilled.

a. someone funny

b. a gal pal

c. a 'bed' buddy

d. someone who knows who to do stuff

e. someone musical.

5. Would you rather bungee-jump or give a speech to 5,000 people? great. the thought of both of these makes me want to throw up. i'd like to be able to bungee jump, but i'm guessing i would rather give the speech.

ok, here are the rules - you have to answer these questions on your blog and then invite others to be interviewed by posting something like the following:

• Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"
• I will respond by e-mailing you five questions. I get to pick them, and you have to answer them all.
• You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
• You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
• When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

getting to know all about you...

i've been tagged! by allison! eeeek! (apparently, eeeek is my new favourite word)

A- Available or Single: this confuses me. what do married people put? (although i am not one). i guess single. available seems to have a bit of a desperate ring to it in my mind.

B- Best Friends: i have good friends. i'd rather not single anyone out in particular.

C- Cake or Pie: cake. but i do love pie.

D - Drink of Choice: depends on my mood. diet coke or an early grey tea is always nice. lately, been drinking a lot of jack daniels. and a nice microbrew beer is always fine.

E- Essential Item: i was tempted to put air. but that's because i'm a smart ass.
it was hard to choose between my mp3 player or my camera. the mp3 player won.

F- Favourite Colour: black. like my soul. or so i've been told. :)
for those of you who do not count black as a colour, you can throw in blue and purple. apparently i like the colours of bruises.

G- Gummi Bears or Worms: bears i guess. but if we are talking gummi anything, it's those little gummi cola bottles. i get a big kick out of them.

H- Hometown: is this where i was born? vancouver, bc.

I- Indulgence: since i am on a no-budget right now, baths. when i have money, it would be music and travel.

J- January or February - january. screw all you february lovers! my birthday's in january!

K- Kids - god no. although the joke between my friends is, if we want them, we will buy them. like we do everything else. :) i will buy two little mexican twin boys and rename them francis albert and dino paul (sorry toccata). although now i want another set of twins who will be called jingle and jangle. or maybe i will just rename frank and dean, jingle and jangle every december.

L- Life is incomplete without: laughter.

M- Marriage Date: no thank you.

N- Number of Siblings: one. an older brother.

O- Oranges or Apples: to eat as a fruit, apple. but in everything else, orange. i have issues with the white stuff on oranges. i need to know more about this orange peeler!

P- Phobias/Fears: i can not sleep with a closet door open. sometimes i even go around the whole house making sure they are closed. thank you stephen king.

Q- Favourite Quote: it changes all the time. currently it is

"it’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in."
- lyndon b johnson on j.edgar hoover

R- Reasons to smile: i don't think one needs a reason to smile.

S- Season: fall. it's usually warm still, sunny and i love the leaves.

T- Tag 3 People: i think everyone has played already.

U- Unknown Fact About Me: i have extremely thick ear lobes.

V- Vegetable You Hate: i was going to say beans,but i just learned that they are a fruit. and i don't think mushrooms are either. i can't really think of one i hate. i tend to dislike cooked vegetables. i prefer them raw. hmm, maybe peas or onions.

W- Worst Habit: i will give you two. an unusual grasp of the concept of time and i tend not to return phone messages.

X- X-rays You've Had: teeth.

Y- Your Favourite Foods: i like food. all kinds. let's start with west indian roti and curry. fresh bread. bbq'd anything. oh and cheese please!

Z- Zodiac: capricorn baby.

three is a magic number...

i got this quiz/survey from both toccata and mellowlee. sometimes i do them, and sometimes i don't. so today, i decided to do it. of course, i got this ages ago. :)

the original number was four. as i have expressed before, i dislike the number four. so i have changed it to three. five was too much. :)

oh, and a side note about three. if you want to know if a number divides by three, you add up all the digits and if they divide by three, then the number divides by three. i learnt that when i was a little kid from marilu henner. and it has proven most useful in my life.
