Another note: I have decided to blog Monday through Friday only, due to the massive amount of time and energy it takes to blog each day. Plus, weekends appear to be slow. That having been said, interviews/questionnaires will now be moved to Wednesday from Saturday. Thanks!

Today’s 20 Questions are all about Poppy! She is number two on the interview list, and she is awesome! I consistently piss her off, so I am really lucky that she was willing to participate! Please note that italicized comments are the author’s post-questionnaire. Also, I added the links. If I didn’t add a link to you, I apologize; I didn’t know your url.

________________________________________________________________________________________

1. What exactly IS it that you do for a living?

Well, I’m sorta like Batman, but for computers.

Chelle doesn’t understand why she can’t get an informative answer out of Poppy, after asking a hundred times!

2. What do you fear the most, and why?

I fear needles. Needles and I do not have a good relationship. I want to keep all my fluids in me, and needles want to take them out, which is why we are opposed.

Chelle does not believe that ALL bodily fluids must be kept inside of Poppy.

3. What is your favorite fairy tale? Why?

Hansel & Gretel. The ending makes me laugh.

4. What are your hobbies?

Fucking Matt Damon. I also like to watch movies and direct Lego characters for porn photo shoots.

Chelle continues to wonder how she is getting in touch with Matt Damon. Additionally, she has not received an answer about how to get in touch with Ben.

5. What is your favorite sexual position? Why?

All of them. Because it means I’m having sex.

Chelle wonders if Poppy’s dry spell is as bad as hers, and is really surprised by that since Poppy is very attractive.

6. What would you do with your life if you were financially independent?

Play Guitar Hero all day, every day with Break Boy.

Oh yeah. I meant to tell you that I have my GH3 now. So if you want to play…

7. What qualities do you look for in a man?

Strong paws, glistening fur, and a hearty appetite.

Chelle wonders if Poppy has given up on men like Chelle and has turned to animals for comfort. OH, you know what I mean!

8. Tell us about how your special relationship with Dawg came to be.

Heh. I’ve met Dawg, along with Bdogg, Avi, and Britt, “in real life” so probably that adds another dimension. But, honestly, I have some really close relationships with bloggers I’ve never met as well.

Chelle should have clarified. It would appear that Poppy has a “special relationship” with Dawg due to the gift war.

9. Based upon the latest conversation/blog with Fab about busloads of cats, are there any animals/reptilians/insects that have no value to you, that you wouldn’t choose over F ones?

(that I wouldn’t choose over F ones? Do you mean Fab?)

I have to admit, the mosquitoes get killed if they’re sucking my blood. A busload of mosquitoes probably dies before Fab. Other than that? Nope.

Chelle made a boo-boo in her question, but realizes now it was a good thing.

10. How do you come up with your blog content? Research? Imagination?

Something pops into my head and I write it down. That’s why I post so much. Gotta get it out of my head and into the world.

11. Besides cats, what are you passionate about and why?

Life in general. Yup, that about sums it up.

Ah, that’s why you give me shit ALL the time when I have a bad day. Bitch.

12. What would you say your greatest strengths are?

I’m flexible.

Chelle thought smart-ass poppy would say something like, my deltoids, my biceps, etc. But flexibility is acceptable.

13. What areas in your life do you struggle with?

Answering personal interview questions. (I rock the work interview.)

Ya think? I still can’t get a straight answer out of her about most ANYTHING! Hence the 20 questions.

14. If you could be anything in this world besides a mammal, insect or reptile (anything vegetable, mineral or man-made), what would you be and why?

This is the hardest question for me to think of an answer to.

Smartass answer: Blow-up doll. Um, duh.

Serious answer: Can I be the ocean? I want to be the ocean. The ocean is beautiful and powerful and complex and inspiring and full of both horrible and wonderful things, depending on your perspective.

Chelle understands about the blow-up doll, but wonders if Poppy OR Chelle could handle THAT many blow jobs, even if there is a competition between us about who is the better fluffer. Chelle also wonders how in the hell Poppy has not become bitter at her ripe old age of 33 by thinking things are still “inspiring”.

15. Do you give money to homeless people who pander? If so, or if not, why?

Yes, I do. Sometimes. Depends on the vibe I get from them. If I get a vibe that says “yes, it’s ok to give that person money” then I do it because I’ve almost been homeless, I’m compassionate, and I see value in all human life. Plus, I get more back in karma than I’m giving in money.

Chelle understands. Chelle gives food; not money. She sometimes gives Starbucks, which is more appreciated than food, usually.

16. What other countries, states and cities have you visited? Which is your favorite?

I’m not gonna bother with cities, because I’ve been to too many, but…

Countries: Canada, England, Belgium

States: Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. Next month I’m going to be passing through Virginia, so next month add that one to the list.Out of the ones I’ve been to, Canada is my favorite country and Maine is my favorite state. But, honestly, I’m not sure I’ve been to my favorite country yet.

17. Why are you a low-talker?

Just to piss you off. Srsly. (Ok, not srsly.) I talk just like my brother, but in a girl voice. So, I guess genetics?

Chelle wonders why she gets her low-talker qualities from her brother rather than her parents; unless Poppy’s father is also her brother.

18. What are your top five favorite books of all time, and why? (fiction, non-fiction, doesn’t matter).

• Confederacy of Dunces, John Kennedy Toole

• The World According to Garp, John Irving

• One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez

• Une vie de boy, F. Oyono

• Where the Wild Things are, Maurice Sendak

Just cuz.

Again, relatively little information about Poppy’s depth as to “why”.

19. What is your very next short-term personal goal in your life and why?

Learning how to make white gravy using Tense’s recipe.

Chelle didn’t get that recipe… Chelle would have put a link to Tense’s site, but chelle doesn’t know Tense, unfortunately.

20. What domestic activity do you hate the most and why?

Ummmmm, I dunno. I even enjoy cleaning up the cats’ puke when they cough up furballs and the cats’ butts when they don’t quite get the poo to come off in the litter box. I’m pretty easy going about domestic activities. My favorite domestic activity is cooking because I’m good at it and I love to eat.

Chelle wonders if Poppy will become her mife (male wife) so that she will cook for Chelle.
