interactive thursday
Trying to catch up on a few projects so not much time to talk about me. So I’m hoping *you’ll* talk about me instead.
I saw this meme over at Snackie’s Pudge-Free World, and it looks like fun. Here are twenty fill-in-the-blanks about me for all of you to complete–some of them I don’t even know the answer to, so don’t feel pressured to be right.
Creativity counts, so feel free to go in unexpected directions. Aren’t those the most fun anyway?

I agree with qualcosa regarding your occupation (and will add teacher to it)
You know that feeling — when someone comes up to you, smiles, shakes your hand? They engage you in conversation and you’re pretty sure you know who this person is but you are not totally sure.
Suddenly, they say, “You don’t know who I am, do you?” And in that instant, you lose any confidence you were holding on to, any knowledge of this person. You stand there, eyes wide, mouth open, stammering, “Well . . . of . . . course I do.” And you have no idea now.

S favorite color is pink, like the €50 bill
S hates trolls and arrogant types
S wishes she’d had a better idea for today’s post
Judith, how did you know we watch a lotta Super Quark around here (even with Sky!)?
Ideas abound, dear Judith, it’s time that is fleeting!
But, but…the 50 euro note is orange; 100 is pink (they tell me)–which means, yes, I definitely like pink and whatever color the 500 note might be 😉
I got a fleeting glance at a €50 yesterday before it flew out of my hand and into someone’s register and I recalled pink… I don’t get to look at them for too long. Surely there’s a website to show us what a 500 looks like? Darn, you can peer at bodily parts in megapixels, seems odd if you can’t see money.
BTW I can see the code I must enter below: VD MD X which is pretty damned prejudicial!
Hah, Judith, turns out we’re both wrong. The fifty’s orange, the hundred is green, and 500 is pink. I *definitely* like pink then!
Goes to show how familiar we are with the big bills, eh?
Sorry about the word verification; I’ll give it a stern talking to.

Sognatrice’s favorite cupcake flavor is, hm, I’m guessing mocha.
Sognatrice’s hair is brown, I think.
Sognatrice’s celebrity crush is yet another mystery to me.
Sognatrice’s occupation is, well, translator, I think, but I know her vocation is writer.
Sognatrice’s favorite book is probably not just one book.
Sognatrice’s favorite color, I’m guessing, is blue, but I don’t know why I think that. All those sky pix, maybe. Oh, and the blueberries.
Sognatrice hates nasty people, especially those with the power to wreak their nastiness on lots of other people at once, but even just little nasty people who are only mean to animals (even though she eats bunnies).

Sognatrice’s favorite color is – blue?
Sognatrice hates mean people
Sognatrice wishes her family would visit
Hmmmm, I think the lousy 10 is pink and the 500 magenta or rosa bordeaux. Sort of meaningless when you can’t get any, eh?
Sara, I’m begging you here: stop the blueberry talk! It’s killing me!
Have to admit, you’re on the pulse of this place, though.
Signed,
The Bunny (but not Blueberry) Eater
Eileen, how did I know that Frank was going to find his way into your answers? But gin & tonic? Just because I say I’m knackered now doesn’t mean I’ve totally gone Brit–although you’d love that wouldn’t you, you little minx? 😉
Goodness I could go for a Tastykake chocolate cupcake right now….
Well Judith, I wish I could comment on whether the colors in the photo are true to form, but alas, all I can say is that the 5 looks very bland to me on that site. Those I’m quite familiar with 🙁
Makes sense, though, that the 500 would be fancy-schmancy color.
Something that should probably stay dormant in my personality is making me tell you this….but, I can’t resist! I’m going berry pickin tomorrow for blueberries, gooseberries, and currants AND (no lie!) the postman recently dropped off a surprise package of Tastykake butterscotch krimpets (for me) plus creme filled chocolate cupcakes and tandy cakes (for my husband)… Sorry Sonatrice.

Friend, you’re freaking me out. Salutatorian’s birthday party? Wow. That is some memory you have there. I’d love to hear more on that one as I seemed to have completely blocked it out. I do, oddly enough, remember that said birthday falls in December. Now if you don’t tell me more, I might threaten to post old photos of you here…whoever you are 😉
My Melange, you’re always invited for a visit! And you’ve got a point on that Raoul Bova thing. But have you *seen* those eyes? Purrrrr…..
Don’t you remember in grade school, what Eddie G would bring to class on his birthday??? Come on, most of us brought in homemade cupcakes…not our Eddie. He always brought a box of chocolate cupcakes/with chocolate icing (no filling) and a box of krimpets (butterscotch, not jelly). Don’t be freaked out, some things I just don’t forget.
Friend, you have a *much* better memory than I–maybe I wasn’t in Eddie’s classes as often. Of course I think *we* were almost always in the same one (otherwise, how were we friends in the great elementary school hierarchy?), so there goes that theory. I’m blaming it on 4th grade. If you are who I think you are, you got the cool teacher 😉
So seriously, what was his mom doing that she didn’t bake cupcakes–she didn’t even have another kid at home at that point 😉
I totally stole this idea and yet I just realized I never even answered on YOUR blog. Terribly sorry about that. 🙂 But do you really need me to fill it out yet when you already have 30+ comments here?
Stefanie, no worries; as I wrote over at your place, I did the same thing with Hilly, where I got the meme from. Must be part of the meme then. I had fun playing on yours 🙂
Yes, I feel like we were in the same class all the time. In fact, I can’t even remember that we were every in different classes. As for my 4th grade teacher, *he* was cool. And Mrs. G …. can’t imagine what kept her so busy.

Sognatrice hates the actor whose name is…either Paris or Lindsey.
Sognatrice’s alcoholic drink of choice is…already gone!

Friend, well 4th grade I had the lady with the cute son(s), so at least that year we were in different places; did you have the revolving teachers in 2nd or the one with the piano? Funny how these things all get so muddled….
JT, finally someone who knows I smell like teen spirit! I’d been waiting for that one for days! I love the celebrity crush answer as well; very true. And what I wouldn’t give for a big (glass) bottle of Kramer’s orange soda. Or blue birch beer. Yum.

And, hmm, now that you mention it–I could go for a campari and soda right about now….
OK folks, finally, here are my answers with my favorite responses in brackets.
Some of you, especially Paolo, coincidentally enough, came pretty darn close to mine; oh, and Maht (The Moon Topples)—outstanding all around 🙂
Sognatrice is usually pleasant, but oh does she have her moments [TIE:
three times faster than a sognaonce (The Moon Topples) and flirting with us from her photo (Judith)].
Sognatrice needs to study Italian more [my advice like she needs a hole in the head (Paolo) because it made me think of my grandmother]
Sognatrice’s best friend is her mamma. And P. And Luna. [TIE: carbon-based (The Moon Topples), lucky (Wanderlust Scarlett), a crazy gal from elementary school named Madeleine (Andrea)].
Sognatrice’s dog is named Luna Balloonasky. Yes, with a Y. [TIE: Luna Tuna from Tuna Texas (Judith) and Luna Balloona! Tummy, tummy, tummy! (Sara)].
Sognatrice smells like Victoria’s Secret Love Spell, MB by Mariella Burani, or Avon’s Haiku. Seriously, on that last one—my mom sent me this about a month ago and I just *love* it. Don’t knock Avon yo. [teen spirit (JT) although I also enjoyed that a few of you think I smell like purple flowers. That wouldn’t suck].
Sognatrice drives like someone who has only driven around cemeteries [someone who prefers walking (Sara)].
Sognatrice craves blueberries. Big time. [Raoul Bova (My Melange)]
Sognatrice’s favorite TV Show is Gilmore Girls right now. [TIE: Bold & the Beautiful (-R-) (not true, btw) and Super Quark (Judith); you people not in Italy are really missing out!]
Sognatrice hates the actor whose name is Steven Segal (even if he’s part Calabrese) and Charles Grodin. I can’t explain it. [special props here to Paolo for *really* understanding on this one].
Sognatrice’s alcoholic drink of choice is Jack and Coke [had better be her father-in-law’s wine (Qualcosa di Bello)].
Sognatrice’s NON alcoholic drink of choice is cappuccino [Dr. Pepper (Andrea) because I could definitely go for one right now].
Sognatrice’s favorite musical artist is Jack Johnson (living), Janis Joplin (not so much) [I do not know, but it is guaranteed some folky, singer-songwriter tapioca stuff… you know, chick music!!! (ducks) (Paolo) because, you know, he’s right].
Sognatrice’s favorite cupcake flavor is chocolate with white icing [seems like a Butterscotch Krimpet is getting a lot of attention here. Was this your choice over a chocolate flavored cupcake on some certain salutatorian’s birthday in elementary school??? (far away friend) because wow, what a memory!].
Sognatrice’s hair is getting whiter by the minute [up in hair band for summer (Qualcosa di Bello)].
Sognatrice’s celebrity crush is Andy Garcia, Raoul Bova, and just a tad of Robert Downey, Jr. when he was on Ally McBeal. Shut up. [TIE: Tony Danza (it’s a love/hate relationship) (-R-) and Matthew McConaugh-heeeeey (Eileen) (how could I have forgotten?). And let’s leave Flaherty out of this, Paolo].
Sognatrice’s occupation is, oh dear, what isn’t it? [loved everyone’s answers here]
Sognatrice’s favorite book is Chocolat by Joanne Harris. Didn’t like the movie much though even though I rather enjoy Johnny Depp. Sheesh, another celebrity crush? [those who referred to my writing a book—you get lots of bonus points!]
Sognatrice’s favorite color is the sky when it’s pink/purple/blue at sunset [TIE: isn’t what I expected (Wanderlust Scarlett) and BIG RED!!! (JT) although I’m impressed by all the violet and shades of blue guesses].
Sognatrice hates when people are rude [people who are mean to dogs (one smart cookie)—so true!].
Sognatrice wishes that everyone I love would move into my village [Now this one, I think you should answer for yourself (Kimberly)].
Thanks so much for playing everyone! I had no idea how much fun this would be when I posted, so all of these great answers were definitely a pleasant surprise 🙂
