What was the last concert you went to? How was it? Well, let me tell you that I went to this dj set (idk who! lol) up in the sunsphere on 2/18 and it was dope as hell! Floor to ceiling windows in the effin' SUNSPHERE, the bartenders were HOT (not to mention when they made my drinks they say to me: "just say when!" what, what?!), but I was seriously wasted and had an awesome dance party with a few of my closest friends and about 300 other really rad people in knoxvegas!
If you were going to try to impress someone by cooking them a meal, what would you make for them? pasta... it's easy, quick, delicious, but yet people are always impressed. I would probably make spinach stuffed manicotti.
What was the worst concert you ever went to? I totally went to see 50 cent back in 2003... called into work and everything. But I was real far away, indoors, and he was over an hour late. And not to mention that uh, he sucked? LA-HAME!
Would you prefer a chocolate cookie with peanutbutter chips or a peanutbutter cookie with chocolate chips? chocolate w/ pb chips
What's your favorite album of all time? Meddle - Pink Floyd
For those of you out there who have never experienced this album I suggest you step out of your DSOTM realm and do so. That's all I'm gonna say about it because trust me, it speaks for itself.
What is your favorite Johnny Depp movie? I can't pick one so I'll pick three: Benny & Joon Blow Sweeney Todd Fear and Loathing (okay four)
Do you shop at McKay's? (It's one of the things I most miss about Knoxville.) ah hell yeah! Idk when the last time you were in knoxville was but for a couple of years now, we have had a GIGANTIC two story McKay's on Papermill. I work on Weisgarber so I go on my lunch break ALL the time!
What is the longest you've ever gone without sleep? Explain. god I don't even know, I think it was like 36 hour-ish? I was young and dumb and decided to do some things I probably shouldn't have one night after work so I switched my morning shift for an evening shift so I could stay up all night long and party (which I did ). I finally laid down about 10:00am to go to bed and at 10:15 work was calling. The guy who was supposed to cover my shift totally bailed. I told them there was NO WAY I could come in but they told me I HAD to or I didn't have a job. So I did... and then I worked that night shift too. Balla'

Yeah, it was there before we moved, and I've been back as recently as Christmas. My parents still live in Knoxville, so I visit pretty regularly.
What is your favorite Knoxville restaurant (locally-owned or otherwise)?
Post by ☮ superbek ☮ on Mar 2, 2010 17:02:56 GMT -5
(You might not be old enough for this, but) Have you ever seen the Floyd? If so, where and which tour?
No, I have not. Yeah, I am only 25.
What is your favorite Knoxville restaurant (locally-owned or otherwise)? Silver Spoon Cafe... I also worked there for three years.
What is your favorite day of the year? Halloween
What is your favorite smell? Anything apple scented but today I was standing at the copier when I realized I also love the smell of fresh copies. I use to go to work with my mom sometimes when I was growing up and it's a total sense of nostalgia for me. As far as fragrances goes, I will swoon over anybody and everybody wearing Cool Water or Burberry.

I totally agree on this! I tell my co-workers I love that smell and they look at me like I am insane. What exactly IS that smell? It smells warm and vaguely chemical.

Who is the best looking inforooster? well I feel that since I haven't technically seen everyone, it is kinda unfair to make a decision but based on the group that I have seen pictures of or met in person I would probably say bamadancer. She's a cutie patootie burnette hooper AND she loves filthy dirty bearts that make you wanna dance!
What is your earliest memory? hard to say because I have several from about 3-ish. I remember waking up one night in the middle of the night and crawling out of my waterbed with mickey mouse sheets and going to climb in between my mom and dad in their waterbed with satin sheets... oh the 80's!
What did you do on the last day that you felt was a "perfect day"? Last July I went with two of my best friends (a couple) and this guy (that is a friend but we have obviously have some mixed feelings for each other) to the Knoxville Museum of Art and then we walked over to the sunsphere followed by going back to my place and having a drunken dance party with some star gazing thrown in (total space nerd) He ended up staying the night and we just innocently cuddled with each other all night... and the next day too. It had been a long time since I actually held someone and had that warm feeling in my heart, that "I could die happy right now" feeling. When that happened, that was a feeling that I thought it was gone and I would never get it back, but now I know it can still be there. BUT with him there is just too much water under the bridge. It is what it is.
How many pairs of shoes do you own? 25 maybe?
Is there anything moldy in your refrigerator, and if so, what is it? I just cleaned out the fridge last weekend, so we're good.
If I could deliver a slap in the face to any inforooster secretly from you....who would that slap go to? I wouldn't want to slap anyone per say, but there is someone in my mind who I think tends to be a little agressive although to my recollection they have never been that way with me directly but sometimes I wish they would just take a chill pill and stop b*tchin' about other people being a b*tch all the time... savvy?
What is the worst job you ever had? I went to work at Calhoun's (restuaraunt) and when I got there I realized there was a guy who I used to be friends with but had a falling out with a few years before. He had some friends who were "top" servers and he told them about our situation and they took it upon themselves to terrorize me. They would cut me from the floor first but then give me sidework I couldn't do until after we were closed and one time they gave me sidework that consisted of cleaning an unused service station, I thought I got lucky until I went over there and someone had poured honey and coffee grounds all over EVERYTHING. I quit after three weeks of working there and was able to later rekindle my friendship with said foe and he confessed everything to me. In the end, those hoes screwed themselves because I was a great server and I like to think that I'm a pretty awesome person in general
If you had to buy me a present what would it be? a tie-dye onesie!
If you had to buy Kdogg a present what would it be? I would buy him a 6-pack of New Glarus Spotted Cow and an ear of corn so we could chill out, play some nintendo and (here's the big gift) he could practice getting his ass kicked by a girl.
Looooove Silver Spoon. I worked at the TCBY that used to be next to the one in the Gallery. Damn, now I want a Smoked Chicken Pasta Pie.
Dude, if you get a chance next time you're in town, seriously hit me up! We'll do lunch! ;D
Would you rather have a bionic arm or a bionic leg? I feel like I could work better with a fake arm. But if you mean like rose mcgowan in planet terror, then I'm still gonna have to go with the arm!
Would you rather die of the cold of die of the heat? cold. I hate to be hot. fnckin' bonnaroo.
Would you rather have your face and body but the brain of a chimpanzee or be a chimpanzee but have your human brain? chimpanzee w/ human brain so I could be chimpanzee king.
Would you rather wake up and find your teeth have fallen out or your hair has fallen out? hair.... I mean it will grow back, right? right?!
Would you rather be a penguin who's a bird but can't fly or a flying fish that's a fish that can fly a bit? you've been nomming haven't you? Have you ever seen Planet Earth? I do NOT want to be a penguin! For example...
What exactly IS that smell? It smells warm and vaguely chemical.
Idk what makes the smell exactly but I like your use of the word warm here... really pegged it on the head there, jen. This is what gives that fresh copies scent the one up over permanent markers.

What Highschool did you go to? Waffle House or IHOP? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Who was the first band you saw at Bonnaroo? Guns N' Roses or Poison? Have you ever been in love? How do you feel about that person now? What's your favorite book? What's you favorite way to spend a day off? Sunrise or sunset? What's your opinion on the death-penalty? Favorite flavor of ice cream? What kind of cone? 5 celebrities that bug the living hell out of you (with pictures)? Hardwood or carpet? What's the first thing you would do/buy if you won the lottery? Guiltiest musical indulgence?

I realize that you probably won't, but I'd be thrilled if you would elaborate on this somewhat.
That being said, I'm going to twist this one a bit. If you were going to have a night of dinner, drinking and corn with seven (why not seven?) inforooers, who would they be?
Post by ☮ superbek ☮ on Mar 3, 2010 18:03:19 GMT -5
British Office, American Office, or no Office at all? I haven't seen the British Office but I am a fan of American Office... BABY TOMORROW!
What do you do to try to get rid of the hiccups? Recently I started to think that I have chronic hiccups because I would hiccup maybe once, twice, three times several times a day so what else did I do but google it. Apparantly there is no definite cure for the hiccups, it's all heresay so the only thing I do to try to get rid of the hiccups is wait.
Favorite post-drinking foods? Nothing hits the drunken spot like fourth meal.

you are half right... I do not want to intensely elaborate on this but I will just say that there are some people who constantly flame people for their ignorance about bonnaroo, the board, or life in general and I feel this is counter productive, rude, and discouraging. I feel that this demeanor is the reason that several people are discouraged from posting in certain areas of the board, IF you know what I mean.
If you were going to have a night of dinner, drinking and corn with seven (why not seven?) inforooers, who would they be? kdogg (obviously) swamp witch (aka nothingbutflowers, what she will always be to me! ) handgunhips (my mafia sister) fishingmaniac (the best person on the board to get drunk with, I would imagine) hippienaustin (the get drunk, take your clothes off person) garageland (the gentleman/great convo delegate) danbird (so we can speak to each other in nothing but drunken Arrested Development quotes ALL NIGHT LONG)
and you revamped disposition has me hopeful you will be there, too!
Best costume you've worn for Halloween? My sophomore year in HS I dressed up like Monica Lewinsky. Red beret, black wig, blue dress.... complete with stain (toothpaste). Needless to say, it got some laughs especially form the teachers. In retrospect I can't believe my mother let me go to school like that.
Post by ☮ superbek ☮ on Mar 4, 2010 1:11:52 GMT -5
What Highschool did you go to? Lenoir City High School c/o 2002
Waffle House or IHOP? It really depends... Waffle House is better when you're drunk, IHOP is better when you got the munchies!
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Canada... they speak English, have healthcare, the northern lights, and certain law variances.
Who was the first band you saw at Bonnaroo? wow... I can't remember. I think North Miss All Stars, maybe?
Guns N' Roses or Poison? POISON!!!! I have actually seen Brett Michaels in concert! Shitty quality but...
Have you ever been in love? How do you feel about that person now? yes I have been in love once and that was enough. I learned a valuable lesson from all that business but it's all good now. We tried to be friends for a looooong time and we still are but here in the past six months we have hung out like once a month. Prior to that we saw each other daily for the past eight years but we haven't been "together" since 2005. Probably beter that way, we're both a lot happier now but you know, she will always hold a very special place in my heart and there is no doubt in my mind that she feels the same as she was my friend before she was my love.
What's your favorite book? Beloved - Toni Morrison
What's you favorite way to spend a day off? my favorite way to spend anyday is w/o an alarm clock.
Sunrise or sunset? sunset, I am a nocturnal creature by nature so I love to watch it go... watching it rise means it is time to go to bed.
What's your opinion on the death-penalty? I don't believe that ending someone's life who has murdered anyone does anybody any good. I think the whole prison system needs to be reworked. I think that there are too many people in prison who are not necessarily bad people, but mentally ill people. We know as human beings that it is wrong to take the life of another intelligent being yet we see it happen all the time in nature. Altruism is what sets us apart from all other Earth bound life forms therefore we can derive murder as an a moral issue. I think it is our job to research and understand as much as we can about these social and mental misfires instead of extinguishing them as if it never happened. As Ghandi said, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
Favorite flavor of ice cream? What kind of cone? butter pecan... sugar cone
5 celebrities that bug the living hell out of you (with pictures)? Kathy Griffin
Dianne Weist
Carrot Top
Renee Zellweger
Eddie (don't custie me, brah!) Vedder
Hardwood or carpet? carpet... hardwood is beautiful but slippery!
What's the first thing you would do/buy if you won the lottery? but the house I currently rent... I love it.
Guiltiest musical indulgence? I feel like I should clarify this but idk how... I only like a few songs but if it's on my zune machine then I think that it is enough to count as a guilty pleasure. I'm not talking about oops I did it again or anything but Toxic, Gimme More, and Circus def make me wanna shake it and hey, I can get behind that.
I didn't know you were from Lenoir City! A good friend my boy is from there... Andrew Wampler. He may be younger than you (he's def younger than me) so you may not know him. There's apparently a thrift store in Lenoir City called Peace and Pieces or something like that... ever been there?

yeah I sorta know Andrew... I didn't really know him in highschool or thereafter but we went to middle school together. I remember his mom was our Junior Achievement rep. I also think we have some mutual friends somewhere along the line, well I know of at least one anyway!

Books, TV or Movies? Which would you rather be doing if you have a free hour in your day? well I LOVE to read but I have to do it so much with school, work, and the internet that if I have free time it is the nest to last thing that I want to do. Can't really watch a movie in one hour (although I will occasionally delegate two) but one hour is the perfect amount of time to watch Project Runway which is exactly what I am gonna do after I finish these questions!
Are you neat or a slob? If you're neat - are you OCD about it and what are you the pickiest about? I'm kind of a neat slob. I like for everything to be in it's place and the dishes are put away but the only time I make my bed is when I am about to get in it. There are def some OCD tendenancies like I hate for lights to be left on in a room and my roommate has a REALLY bad habbit of leaving the cabinets open in the kitchen and I am constantly closing them, why would you do that? Leave the cabinet open? Just close the cabinet, man...
If I was cooking dinner for you - just a simple home cooked Southern meal - what would you want? how bout some pinto beans and corn bread? 'cause that sounds pretty good right about now, you on your way yet? ;D
Drink of choice - alcoholic and non non. I am not a huge drinker, I usually get drunk maybe 4 times a year? However, I am a huge brain kell ciller.
Beach or Mountains - please elaborate as to why you prefer on over the other mountains. First of all, it is like nostalgia for me as I have grown up in the foothills of the Smokies. I love the life in the forest, squirrels, deer, cardinals, bears, mushrooms, and I also think green is a better color than blue. Not to mention the ocean is effin creepy and sand kinda sucks, know what I mean? Also, you just can't beat Autumn in a deciduous forest...
Can you tie a cherry stem in a knot with your tongue? I used to do that all the time when I was a kid but I don't really like cherries now. So I don't ever really have a stem but I am sure it is like riding a bicycle. (... that's what she said)
If you had to buy Kdogg a present what would it be? I would buy him a 6-pack of New Glarus Spotted Cow and an ear of corn so we could chill out, play some nintendo and (here's the big gift) he could practice getting his ass kicked by a girl.
