If you could bring one musician back from the dead, who would it be and why? That's really tough. There are a lot of legends I could choose for this one who died too young and/or by tragic means (John Lennon, Elvis, Jim Morrison, Bob Marley, Freddie Mercury, etc.), but I think I will go with Jeff Buckley because his death really was so tragic and unexpected and his career had so much potential longevity left to it.
Are you trying to flirt with abrakapokus on purpose or is it just by accident?

I asked your predecessor the first two questions, but they remain unanswered.
Would you rather spend the rest of your life wearing ice skates or wearing stilts and why and where would be your favorite place to go wearing either? In some weird hypothetical where Abe Lincoln was resurrected and transported to present day and he was able to ask someone a question and out of some sort of registry he picked you, what would you want him to ask you? What do people care way too much about? If I came to DC, could I sleep on your couch? Are you proficient in any language outside of English? If not, what language(s) do you wish you knew? Favorite musical discoveries of your recent past? What's the weirdest thing you've said in the past 72 hours? Weirdest thing you've heard?
I asked your predecessor the first two questions, but they remain unanswered.
Would you rather spend the rest of your life wearing ice skates or wearing stilts and why and where would be your favorite place to go wearing either? Ice skates, of course! I used to ice skate. Still love to do it - makes me feel like a lil winter fairy princess or something.
Favorite place to go wearing them? Prob Narnia. Lots of skate-able land round there.
In some weird hypothetical where Abe Lincoln was resurrected and transported to present day and he was able to ask someone a question and out of some sort of registry he picked you, what would you want him to ask you? If I'm DTF. I mean, Abe Lincoln? That'd be the ultimate trophy fuck.
What do people care way too much about? Social conventions! I have a not so novel theory that stress and anxiety levels would majorly decrease nationwide if individuals stopped giving so many shits about what others think and how others will react and if they should or shouldn't assert this opinion and if it is okay to act this way, etc etc. Calm down people and do what you wanna do, live however makes you happy - within reasonable bounds of safety and consent of course.
If I came to DC, could I sleep on your couch? Of course! But I would kind of expect that our night would end up crazy and involve the addition of like 3 new girls in your ever-complicated web of a love life and that you'd have a shit ton of new material to post in the Catch a Feeling thread, and then you could tag me because I was totally your wing woman, and it'd be grand.
So yeah. Come visit DC. We can hang.
Are you proficient in any language outside of English? If not, what language(s) do you wish you knew? I'm aight at Spanish. I wish I knew Swahili!!
Favorite musical discoveries of your recent past? How recent is recent? In the past couple months....Bob Moses was a fantastic discovery. Chelsea Wolfe too (didn't know her before hearing her August released album).
What's the weirdest thing you've said in the past 72 hours? Weirdest thing you've heard? I say many weird things, much of the time - really don't know how to narrow this down here. Also hard to recall word for word things I've said....hmm, I'll just pull something from a pretty weird convo that I was having just a little while ago on FB messenger with my roomie and one of her best friends who is visiting this weekend for Landmark.
[insert context] Me: Do you think the Pope will want to cum play in my dungeon?
Weirdest thing I've heard? That no, they don't think he will. :/ What's that about?
There any types of questions you haven't been asked yet, and surprised they haven't? I was expecting a little bit weirder/more probing questions, I suppose. Though Nico's just now were pretty weird and fun, so props to him.
I'm not worried though - I trust that g a b f r a b will be in here anytime now to up the ante on weird and/or probing questions.

That's a reasonable question, Gabfrab, but if you don't mind me interjecting here, can we please make Beachbob next? He's the right choice for this and he's been patient.

What types of people would be off limits, when you're considering a new relationship with someone else? Dumb and/or boring people. Hyper conservatives. Hyper religious ppls. Anyone who is already in a relationship if it is closed/monogamous. Ex lovers of my sister; with friends, it depends on how serious they were and of course on the friend's opinion/consent.
Describe your political views in five words or less. American politics are fucked.
What is the strangest place you've ever been to? The scariest? Okay, I'm answering this is in a kind of unconventional way, but I'm going with sports games for "strangest." When you actually sit back and think about it....why do huge masses of people congregate to cheer on or emphatically boo these individuals running around a court or field or whatever with some balls. It is strange shit, man.
Scariest? Catholic Mass.
Do you ride the Metro? Sometimes but ugh the DC metro is the worst. So glad I have a car here.
What's the biggest guilty pleasure on your iPod? T Swift bebe. But I don't have an iPod per se, so this is just my answer to "biggest musical guilty pleasure" in general sense.

I've never met him/haven't talked to him much on the board. Is he that bad? Would you be in the room chaperoning us?
I would be really really really sad to never have sex again. So I guess I'll bang the Surf.
Let's put it this way, what's the most regrettable fuck you ever had? I take my position as BMOTM v seriously, so I am assuming this question was meant to be answered. I luckily don't have any super regrettable fucks - I tend to choose my fucks somewhat carefully and wisely (I have a few super regrettable hook ups though, that didn't lead all the way into sex thank god). There are two that were major "meh" fucks but nothing terrible. I guess I would take away that cute but kinda sexually clueless wide-eyed sophomore guy I decided to hook up with for a few times senior year bc why not? Quickly learned "why not": younger inexperienced dude=not that good at The Sex. He also then thought I was tryna date him after we fooled around a couple times, and it was just a lol situation all around.
Who would win in an arm wrestling contest between a hot dog and a hamburger? Lolololol. The hot dog! Dogs have limbs, and burgers don't.
What is your favorite movie trilogy? Does the original trilogy of Star Wars count? Lord of the Rings is super great too. Oh and Toy Story!!
Have you ever sneezed and farted at the same time? Probs. I didn't document the time and date of this occurrence though, so it is hard to say.
Favorite 90s Nickelodeon tv show? I did love some Blues Clues back in the day.
What is a career someone could have that you could/would never do? Pretty much anything finance related. Aside from the fact that I need some amount of it to survive and pay rent and what not, I really kind of hate money. I would be so miserable spending the majority of my waking hours dealing with money and all its bullshit and the misery and corruption it causes.
What artists do you know to be not good but you still like due to nostalgia or personal bias? LIL WAYNE (pre starting to really suck). I maintain the stance that he's got some clever rhymes doe. Also a lot of 90s pop bands, for nostalgia purposes.

If you had the opportunity to go be part of the first group sent to colonize Mars, knowing that there was zero chance of ever returning to Earth and a really strong chance of dying prematurely, would you do it?
What's the best advice you've ever received?
What's your favorite cheese?
If you had the opportunity to know exactly when and how you will die, would you do it?
Who was your favorite elementary school teacher, and why?
Who has had the biggest influence on your life?
If you had the opportunity to be able to read people's thoughts, but you couldn't control it, you just heard the thoughts of everyone within 7 feet of you, would you do it?
If you had the opportunity to go be part of the first group sent to colonize Mars, knowing that there was zero chance of ever returning to Earth and a really strong chance of dying prematurely, would you do it? No!!!!! I've had this conversation with my sister and also my lover and a couple friends and just, no. Our world can be so so shitty, but I really love a lot of the people in my life and don't want to jet off to Mars forever and leave them behind.
What's the best advice you've ever received? Well damn. Deep question. Maybe just that general mantra of "You cannot totally control what happens to you, but you can (and should) control how you react and what you take from each experience." And also that you cannot control others, only yourself and how you treat them. Corny and all, but it is so true.
What's your favorite cheese? I do really love the exotic smelly cheeses from France and shit like that, but I gotta go with my first cheese love: PARMESAN.
If you had the opportunity to know exactly when and how you will die, would you do it? At first I thought "fuck yeah I would wanna know," but now I am thinking I wouldn't. I'd be so stressed leading up to that date, I don't think I would be able to enjoy my final days.
Who was your favorite elementary school teacher, and why? Third grade teacher. She was so fucking cooooooool but also such an effective teacher and really creative and just a wonderful person.
Who has had the biggest influence on your life? i was already asked this question!!!!! No repeats or imma throw you out the thread!!!!!!! Jk.
If you had the opportunity to be able to read people's thoughts, but you couldn't control it, you just heard the thoughts of everyone within 7 feet of you, would you do it? Absolutely not. I would hate that. I love slowly learning to read people in their own individual way, and I would really not like hearing strangers' thoughts around me all the time. Think of the shit you'd hear.....
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
If you had to give up one of your senses which would it be? Smell. I mean, it is nice to smell things and all but not absolutely imperative to my life. Especially when contrasted to how important touch, sight, hearing, and taste is to me.
Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend? Honestly? Yes, 100%. I will go out on so many limbs for the people I love. I am fiercely loyal to those who are important to me.
What would 5 year old Rummy think of current Rummy? She'd lol and be like "this is how you turned out? yeah, pretty much what I expected." *high fives current Rummy, runs off to go play games in forest*
Do you enjoy playing rummy? I do! But that isn't where my username comes from - I was originally rummagingforanswers(7), from a Regina Spektor lyric, but everyone was shortening to Rummy so I did too.
What would be the title of your movie? My movie? Like an autobiographical movie or one that I produce or screen write, or....?
How many times per day do you check Inforoo? Entirely depends. If I'm in a game of Mafia (or reffing like I am now), I check a lot of times a day and much more on mobile than I usually would. I used to go on inforoo during the day more often when I had an office job. Now I don't as much.
Socks or no socks when sleeping? Well, is it in a cold or hot room? That's kinda important info for me to have before making my decision.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
Ummm idk, how about you just give your answer for both. I already said this with an earlier question - I am so so fucking bad at titling things. I'm sorry :/ Those are like the very hardest questions for me to answer it seems haha.
Would you rather text or call someone? Depends on who it is and what for! One of my best friends or a lover or family member I'm trying to have a long, in depth conversation with? Absolutely phone call. But just to relay some funny story quickly or get some info for plans later or whatever, texting is quick n easy.
How was DC when the Pope came to town? Ugh I don't even know - I stayed sheltered in the safety of my neighborhood that whole day. Did not even try venturing out.
When did you last push the boundaries of your comfort zone? Hmmm.... A lot of things that might push others out of their comfort zone don't so much bother me. Can this just be like "last time you felt nervous?" In which case I would say, saturday and yesterday sneaking airplane bottles into Landmark via my cleavage/bra area. Worked both days! But I was nervous going in.
When was the last time you wrote a letter? I'm in the midst of writing a really long one to give my ~person~ before he moves....does that count? So, my answer: currently in the letter writing process. But it is a very gradual effort haha.
You said you liked Blue Clues, do you ever find yourself singing the mail song? Is it stuck in your head yet? Hadn't in a long time before now. fuck u.
What is the most disgusting thing you have ever eaten? Or drank? Cottage cheese is disgusting. I always thought so but hadn't tried it, so then I did, and I felt fully validated in my prior opinion. It is revolting.
Have you done the Purity Test before? If so, what did you get for a score? Yes, yes I have. I can't remember exactly. I think I was around like 32? 37? Idk, doesn't Jaz have the list? He can tell you.
So how was Landmark? Really great!! Why weren't you there?
What were your favorite sets of the weekend? Hands down number one was CHVRCHES. smellycat and I got really close (probably like 6/7 rows from the rail) and the lights were amazing and I wanna marry Lauren.
Daughter and Ben Howard and Miguel were all good on Saturday - and Drake was definitely more fun than I was expecting. But Sunday was definitely the better day: Manchester Orchestra, Dan Deacon, CHVRCHES, and the Strokes were all incredible shows. The latter three absolutely had the best crowd energies of all the shows I went to. Especially CHVRCHES; everyone was so excited and singing along to every word. Was really lovely after being disappointed by how sedate the crowds had seemed all throughout Saturday.
Did you see anything you didn't end up liking? Not really! I only went to shows I was wanting to see - and then even Drake, who I felt meh about, surprised me with a very good show. Band of Horses felt lackluster, but I was in line to pee for a solid half of it, then far back, so I probably wasn't the best judge of the show.
What did you wish you could have seen, but wasn't able to? There basically werent any conflicts!! It was fantastic. I was a little bummed to leave Alt-J halfway through but it was to snag a good spot for CHVRCHES, and that was 100% the right move, no regrets.

So how was Landmark? Really great!! Why weren't you there?
I wanna get back down to DC, but it wasn't happening this year. My life has been crazy the last few months, and working weekends now certainly doesn't help.
Nor did Boston Calling, with half the lineup being the same. (Didn't go to that either.)
