mynewplaceFrom Writer's Block:
If a newborn baby of unknown origins suddenly fell into your care, what would you do? If you kept it, what would you name it?
Well I'll be damned! I had my answer and several other memes all typed out and the fucker has eaten them. I fucking hate LJ.
At any rate, if I had this "newborn baby" I'd keep it, unless one of those people I love exerted undue pressure to convince me otherwise. I'd name her Savannah, or him Jonathan. And I'd love him and pet him and call him George. etc.
Now, for meme two, from the bodaliciouspadiwack:
Here are the rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions of a very personal nature.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them 5 questions.

1. Name your top 5 strengths. Tell me how good you are!
1. I'm highly intelligent and skilled at thinking outside the box.
2. I'm generous and loyal to a fault.
3. I'm open and broad minded, which makes me an asset in almost any situation. I'm also a strong defender of the different.
4. I'm funny and friendly, and unconsciously able to draw people out of their shells while remaining staunchly ensconced in my own.
5. I'm attractive and able to use it to my advantage if necessary.
2. Name your top 5 weaknesses. Tell me how bad you are! (you knew that was coming, huh?)
1. I eat for comfort's sake.
2. I'm extremely focused when on-task and do not handle unexpected shifts in projects well. I also HATE surprises.
3. The old rule of "Don't speak unless you're spoken to." is firmly entrenched in my personality. It's difficult to overcome.
4. I have a wicked temper and a cruel streak when I'm angered. I can be quite verbally abusive at times.
5. I'm horribly lazy and often use my physical complaints as an excuse to revel in my laziness.
3. You get gifted with a $100 certificate to a Sex Shop! What do you buy?
Cool! Probably lingerie, or some videos. Or maybe one of those Kama Sutra kits, with the flavored powders and lotions.
4. What is the most creative thing you've done lately?
I'm constantly adding small touches all over my house. I set up my back porch furniture this week and spent some time out there rearranging my flowers and candles, etc. I've added some decorative scarves in my bedroom and arranged 4 dozen roses that Scarlett received at her last recital. My cooking is pretty damned creative too.
5. What would you do if you found out Scarlett was sexually active?
Freak. Seriously freak, but keep it inside and share it only with my closest friends. After all, she's 11 and still hasn't had her period yet. I would SERIOUSLY re-evaluate her day care situation. But even if she were Izzy's age, I'd make sure she understood that she was not in trouble or grounded. Then I'd press her for details to determine how far she had gone, in hopes that she hadn't experienced full penetration yet. I'd very clearly explain to her the ways that a woman can satisfy herself in hopes of alleviating some of the physical need for sex, and also stress that she could indulge in those sorts of things with a boy without giving up her virginity. And if age-appropriate I'd get her on birth control. And I'd cry, and pray that she didn't end up repeating my experiences.
