Things I Don't Think About, But Other People Do

When I can’t very well do my own thinking, it helps to draw from other people.  So, thanks, SleepyJane!

Q. Where are you from? I read a lot of blogs from people all over the world and it’s not like you guys talk about your home town in every post. I’d really like to know where you people are!
I’m from Pasadena, California — a suburb town with lots of restaurants on the perimeter of the city.  I’ve moved closer to center of Los Angeles since.

Q. If you only had R200/$20 and you could have one day all to yourself, and spend the money on what ever you want, what would you do? Go to a coffee shop? Go have a picnic? Buy some fabric and make something?
I’d go buy some fresh guitar strings, head home, re-string my guitar, and spend the entire day recording ideas.  That sounds incredible to me.  Oh, also I’d buy some cigarettes to keep me company.

Q. If you’re a girl that loves make up I’d like to know how you store your products? Where do you keep them? In a drawer? In a bag? I’m having a little dilemma as to how to practically store my make up so I’d love to know what you do to keep yours organized?
…I’m sorry I can’t help here.

Q. Tell me one random thing about you? It can be anything! Me? I like to watch movies and series with the subtitles on. No reason. I just like to read what I hear I guess.
Once, I was a janitor.  Worst. Job. I’ve. Ever. Had.

Q. Why did you start blogging? What is (in your opinion) the best part about blogging?
Why: To get better at web development and writing in general, and to try and learn something about myself.
What: The community is incredible!  I had no idea there was so much camaraderie — my impression of the internet free speech was YouTube trolls, so it was refreshing to know there are people out there who aren’t just out there to get off on conflict.

Q. What’s your favourite sandwich topping? A spread? Tomato and cheese? Describe the perfect sandwich.
Avocados, which in California are orgasmic.  Orgasmacados.  Yes.
I am actually not very picky when it comes to sandwiches — the only prerequisite is that I’d like mine to be filling.  I’ve willingly had some pretty mediocre sandwiches that get by simply because of their volume and density.

    AVOCADOS, I love.

    Orgasmacados? I think I’m on my way to LA. Have some ready, please.

  2. Eric says:

    If I didn’t already trust you, I’d trust you now based on your sandwich preference alone. You can trust a man that wants a filling sandwich.

  3. Sleepyjane says:

    Avo’s…yum. For some reason that was my favourite question.

    I love me some sarnies.

  4. verybadcat says:

    Why won’t you tell us how you store your makeup? ;P

    I second Courtney. Please send avocados! :)

  5. f.B says:

    Second the new guitar strings and finding people who aren’t trying to just get off on conflict.

  6. michelle says:

    Avocados, yum.

    I admire you for working as a janitor. That must have been the toughest.

  7. nicopolitan says:

    I may have to turn this into a facebook status.

  8. nicopolitan says:

    Get here before they go bad!

  9. nicopolitan says:

    I keep my makeup in an airline utility baggie I don’t wear makeup.

    Avocados queued up, too.
