My answers
At this point in my life, the only person I want to marry is the one person I know must love me for an entire lifetime; myself. No, I don't have multiple personality disorder! I mean a symbolic marriage where my loyalty is sworn to myself before anyone else so that no matter what happens in this world, I am never truly abandoned. I don't have a specific location, somewhere near the ocean. I want to buy a ring of plain silver and have the words "real love is forever" carved into it. The kind of chocolate I'd prefer would be Hershey's sundae topping chocolate because it makes EVERYTHING taste sweeter and more delicious.(Evil grin) One Halloween when I was headed to a party, I saw a man walking down the street dressed entirely in palm fronds, carrying a particulary large, leafy one as a sort of staff. He had even made a wig of palm fibers. It was wild like he was this aboriginal apparation that had wandered out of time and onto the streets of a modern city. What made it really spooky was I stopped him to ask for a picture ( I love photographing the unexpected) and he spoke in this strange language. (With the part of town we were in, it was probably more medicinally induced than mystically inspired, but it was still a strange experience.) Ummm, when you ask if I "reorganize" my closet every season, I assume that means you think mine's organized in the first place?! LOL, not likely. My clothes are doing good when they're hung up and clean instead of doing a poor imitation of throw rugs all over my floor. I don't believe I've ever gotten a story idea from listening to people's conversations because often, if something they've said interests me, I involve myself in the conversation and then it's not eavesdropping anymore. I have however been affected by the unexpressed emotions in peoples' tones and written poetry to give what I perceive in them the voice they deny themselves.
Two women, too much coffee...Too Good to be True!
1. We’re you married (or if you’re single, want to be) in a big city, small town or outlining community?
Does SO CAL (one massive strip of cement, poured from North LA to San Diego)count as a Big City? No one can tell where one city begins and another ends...Married in Newport Beach, California, I think.
2. On Valentine’s Day, would you rather get a box of assorted chocolates, chocolates with nuts, or creamy chocolates?
Dark Chocolate Carmels from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.
3. What’s the most unusual thing you’re seen while driving your car?
Friends and I were driving up Ogden Canyon around 2 AM to go to the natural warm springs along the Ogden river when a car came screeching around a corner, the right front wheel flew off the car and sparks ignited lit from axle, and the next thing we knew the damn thing was on fire. Freaky. Needless to say we didn't make it to the hot springs. We called 911, and as soon as the emergency vehicles got there, we headed home.
4. Do you reorganize the clothes in your closet each season?
Hell no, I've got better things to do with my time.
5. Have you ever gotten a story idea from eavesdropping on other people’s conversations?
Absolutely, why do you think I hang out at my favorite coffee shop!
Happy Friday to Y'all!...
1. We’re you married (or if you’re single, want to be) in a big city, small town or outlining community?
In a ski chalet, on a mountain overlooking a big city.
2. On Valentine’s Day, would you rather get a box of assorted chocolates, chocolates with nuts, or creamy chocolates?
None of the above. Chocolate dip donuts or chocolate frozen yogurt. This year I'll be accompanying a loved one to and home from a major wisdom tooth extraction surgery, so the menu may end up including chocolate flavored Boost!
3. What’s the most unusual thing you’re seen while driving your car?
A pickup with a large green plastic soldier in the back. The soldier was in a crouch with a rifle pointed. This, in a downtown city core!
4. Do you reorganize the clothes in your closet each season?
Depends how I feel. This past summer-to-fall I did. I took the summer clothes and put them into boxes under the bed. So next summer I'll have to reverse the process or else walk around sweltering in cozy sweaters and turtlenecks!
5. Have you ever gotten a story idea from eavesdropping on other people’s conversations?
You bet! :)
Have a good weekend, everyone, Eyewrite

1. We’re you married (or if you’re single, want to be) in a big city, small town or outlining community?
Tucson is sort of in between a big city and a small town...I got married on the outskirts in a beautiful desert garden right at sunset. We had luminarias and garland up over the arbor and we were standing on a flagstone dias surrounded by mesquites in bloom and purple lantana. Not to brag, but I had a beautiful wedding! (it was a great opening to a wonderful marriage)
2. On Valentine’s Day, would you rather get a box of assorted chocolates, chocolates with nuts, or creamy chocolates?
Assorted. I'm not the kind of girl who makes up her mind easily.
3. What’s the most unusual thing you’re seen while driving your car?
Hard to say - I've seen some wierd stuff. What sticks out in my mind right now is the time I had to stop at the rail-road tracks to let one of those old rail hand cars pass...
4. Do you reorganize the clothes in your closet each season?
No. Again in Tucson, the weather is much more constant. We can wear short sleeves most of the year and even in the coldest times heavy sweaters aren't a great idea so I don't have much "seasonal" ware. I just have light weight long sleeves that I wear to work whatever season and shorts that go in a drawer that occasionally get pulled out in winter for gardening or hiking.
5. Have you ever gotten a story idea from eavesdropping on other people’s conversations?
Can't say I have. But then, I can't say I haven't. Usually I find that I take bits of dialogue from eacesdropping...but I don't really get whole stories that way. Those I think are pieced together in my subconscious from many different experiences. Either that or the muse gives me hallucinogens and I make it all up...
Ta-da
1. We’re you married (or if you’re single, want to be) in a big city, small town or outlining community?
I'm pretty pleased with my situation right now, but if I were to marry it'd probably be in San Francisco.
2. On Valentine’s Day, would you rather get a box of assorted chocolates, chocolates with nuts, or creamy chocolates?
Chocolates with nuts. And my complexion thanks me for it afterwards.
3. What’s the most unusual thing you’re seen while driving your car?
OK, you're familiar with the concept of air guitar. I saw the drummer's equivalent once on the 5 freeway. Arms flaying to the left and the right while his head beat in time to the music. I can only assume he was steering with his knees. I stayed well behind him until I got off.
4. Do you reorganize the clothes in your closet each season?
No way, that calls for a level of organization that I've yet to master.
5. Have you ever gotten a story idea from eavesdropping on other people’s conversations?
It's been known to happen.

Happy Friday to you too (m)
It was 72 degrees yesterday, and I was feeling really agitated...I haven't ran in awhile, but I KNEW I needed to get out there and pound out some aggression. So I hit the trails behind my home. It felt awesome...my knees are scolding me today, but I say "Tough". Some times a girls gotta to do what a girl's gotta do!
Have a great day, eyewrite! kat
Hey Ramona!
I think I saw that same "air guitar" guy last week in Sandy Eggo. He's probably in Baja by now! Too funny! kat

Please Pray and Support O
hehehe...I just assumed (m)
everybody organizes their closet-LOL. I'm one of those organization freaks. I even put my canned goods in alphabetical order.
I liked your Halloween story. What an interesting person he was!
Mac
And I just thought you were a caffeine (m)

Good idea!
