Thanks, eolh--this was actually kinda fun!



WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR LJ USERNAME?

"Oneirophrenia" is a bizarre, schizophreniform mental state in which a person experiences a dreamlike state or clouding of consciousness during the "waking" state. I've felt that way for a long time now, and back in October/November I actually entered into an actual, honest-to-god oneirophrenic state. It was NOT fun. It's also a bit of a reference to the band Oneiroid Psychosis, as well, which is what oneirophrenic states were originally known.

SO, WHAT'D YOU DO TODAY?

Slept for 12 hours. Woke up. Watched TV. And that is it.

WHAT'S THE LONGEST TIME YOU'VE STAYED OUT OF THE COUNTRY/WHERE?

I've never been out of the country. I'll probably go to Canada some day, but...I don't fly. Ever. So that prettymuch rules out most of the rest of the world.

ONE THING YOU'RE GRATEFUL FOR, TODAY:

Nothing. I am rarely grateful for anything.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HIGH SCHOOL MEMORY?

Setting my hated 7th-, 8th-, and 10th-grade English teacher's wastebasket on fire and nearly burning her room down at the end of my senior year. But, my greater vengeance came later, when I became an English teacher and gave her the big ol' finger.

WHAT IS YOUR WORST HIGH SCHOOL MEMORY?

All the boring-ass provincial dickheads I had to deal with on a daily basis.

DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING:

I refuse to ever get married. My dream "pseudo"-wedding, though, would be running through a drive-thru chapel in Vegas with an escort or a stripper and getting "married" by an Elvis impersonator.

READ ANY GOOD BOOKS LATELY?

John C. Wright's _The Golden Age Trilogy_. Absolutely amazing transhumanist fiction. Probably the best ever.

DOES SIZE MATTER:

No. But density does.

IS 15 MINUTES ENOUGH?

Not in any situation. Especially sleep.

WORST FASHION TREND:

Baseball caps worn backwards.

THE SCHOOL PICTURE YOU BURIED IN YOUR BOTTOM DRAWER?

None. All of 'em are horrible and I love 'em all.

DO YOU HAVE ANY WEIRD FETISHES?

Not really. I have a bit of a thing for women with odd-shaped or big noses, but it's not like I like to lick 'em or suck on 'em or anything--I just think women with big shnozzes are hottt.

WHAT IS ONE THING YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX?

Why they are all--every one of them--completely and utterly insane.

WHO IS YOUR BEST FRIEND?

Many people. You know who you are. :)

WHO IS YOUR BOY/GIRL FRIEND?

Ummm.....Anyone? Please? Come one, I've got money! I've got a car! I've got a job AND A HOUSE!...Please? *cricket sounds*

FOUR THINGS YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW:

1. Watching Bands Reunited: Klymaxx.
2. Petting Christy.
3. Writing this!
4. Talking to blackcatbon on AIM.

GIVE YOURSELF A PORN STAR NAME:

Dr. Peyton Westlake

DO YOU HAVE ANY WEIRD SLEEPING HABITS?

I sleep twelve to fourteen hours a day if possible.

WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO THIS SUMMER?

Not a goddamn thing. Sleep a lot, probably.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SONG RIGHT NOW?

Gary Numan, "Cars." And it has been since I was 7 years old.

WRITE A LINE FROM ANY SONG:

"We're not even safe in our dreams." -- Furnace St., "Sunday Driver"

DO YOU KNOW AT LEAST ONE DISNEY SONG BY HEART? WHICH ONE?

Nope.

YOUR TYPICAL SLEEPWEAR:

Flannel jams.

WHAT'S IN YOUR WALLET?

Some cash, driver's license, cards, receipts, junk.

HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR WALLET RIGHT NOW?

$13.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PAIR OF SHOES?

Some leather bobos.

IF YOU COULD'VE GONE TO YOUR SENIOR PROM IN A DIFFERENT OUTFIT, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I didn't go. If I would now, I'd wear a clown suit.

DO YOU HAVE NAKED PICTURES OF EX-BOYFRIENDS/EX-GIRLFRIENDS?

Thank the GODS, no. Or I'd be burning them in horrific curse rituals right now!

DOES ANYONE HAVE NAKED PICTURES OF YOU?

Somewhere, there's a picture of my wang floating around on the internet, I think.

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE SODA?

Dr. Muthafuckin' Pepper.

WHAT ARE THE FIRST FIVE THINGS YOU WOULD SPLURGE ON IF YOU WERE A BILLIONAIRE?

1. A nuclear bomb.
2. A TON of synth equipment.
3. A gigantic, evil-looking farmhouse up in the mountains...preferably one that has been abandoned for decades.
4. A robot.
5. My own abandoned mental hospital to record in.

WHAT IS YOUR DAILY BEFORE-GOING-TO-BED RITUAL?

Put on my jams, drink a big glass of water, take my necessary pills (antibiotic, SSRI, etc.), scratch my butt, lay down!

"Some leather bobos."

So, is this where the phrase "bobo tape" comes from? I heard you use it once and Becki has since attempted to ban its usage.

[alternakittyn.livejournal.com]

Yes, because if you liked licking noses, you'd be like William FUCKING Shatner. And I'm afraid I couldn't be your friend anymore. No Shatner friends. Sorry.

Mental note: Must fill that out later. :)

Nope. :) "Bobo Tape," as an alterante name for toilet paper, originated with this local drunk named Barry Hainey who used to live across the street from my old friend Jamie. He was hysterical! The motherfucker had to report to the police station one day to pay a fine or something, but since his drivre's license had been suspended, he couldn't drive...and couldn't find anyone else to take his smelly, beer-soaked ass down there...so he rode down on his lawn mower. Drunk. The cops busted him for reckless operation of a tool or something that day, so he ended up paying two fines.

And he called toilet paper "bobo tape" for some completely unknown reason.

Barry Hainey is my idol.

DEFINITELY NOT! No Shatner-styled sucking of noses for me! I like to *admire* a finely-shaped proboscis, but I certainly don't want to smear it with peanut butter and jelly and then lick it down while C&C Music Factory's "Things That Make You Go 'Hmmmm'" plays in the background. No way. That's just...wrong.
