My Fellow Inebriates,

As depicted by Miss P (and in reality) I have, at most, two brain cells. So when Clip Snark, of whom I’m a big fan, tagged me with this little game I told myself to remember it and then promptly forgot.

It’s not an award, although it does come with a graphic reminiscent of certain other chain-letter-style awards. Cool enough for me, Snarky.

Besides, my parents haven’t opened any bottles lately. I have nothing to review. 😦

So here are the rules:

Post the rules (okay, here)
Answer the questions (sure)
Create 11 new questions (nah, these ones are good enough…except one…guess which)
Tag 11 people with a link to your post (this is a good day to do this; I’m sober—AGONIZINGLY SOBER)
Let them know you’ve tagged them (well, they’ll see the click, I bet—but I’ll try)

Questions

Do you have a test or tests that help you judge someone’s character? Uh, no. I gravitate to drunken, apocalyptic types, but I don’t have any criteria they have to meet. If someone can be with me and not beat the hell out of me, they’re usually okay.
When did you first feel like a grown-up? When my parents gave me this bear-sized bottle of mescal I thought I was on my way. But then they wouldn’t open it. Ever.
What is something you read that made you wish you could write that well? Check this out.
What do you say when you answer the phone? The what? I’ve never thought of answering the phone.
Have you ever stiffed someone on a tip? My parents have never taken me to a bar (I could ride in a purse, damn it). And I don’t really do solids, so I’ve never had a restaurant meal. But if I did, I would leave a huge tip. Massive.
Do you have a favorite writing utensil? No. I don’t like utensils; they are generally out to get me. What the world needs is a line of utensils that don’t require opposable thumbs.
Do you use a calendar? For what?
Do you have road rage? No. I don’t have ‘roid rage either.
Are you a morning person or a night owl? Neither; I’m drunk at both ends.
What surprised you about blogging when you first started? That I continued.
If you could drink anything at all, what would you choose? Shiraz.
