The girls and I are in California this week for a friend’s memorial service.
In case anybody out there was wondering why I’ve been MIA these last couple of days…I’ve been marveling at this:
This week’s Listicles: 10 questions from Inside the Actor’s Studio brought to you by Bridget of Twinisms. It’s important for me to mention that I would never be interviewed by Mr. Lipton for his Actor’s Studio since historically, I have always shit myself at the prospect of going on stage.
I wrecked the play Cinderella in kindergarten by forgetting all my lines (I was Cinderella, so what could they do?) If I had to play violin in front of the bored moms at a school recital, my knees would shake so badly you could see them from the audience.
So…just to be clear, I can’t act. I can’t perform. And Mr. Lipton would never have me.

So you are like Niles Crane, but with a potty mouth?! LOVE IT!! And your #10 killed me too!
The Irish are the best swearers.
Number 7 is the BEST! I wish I could remember that…that feel SO good to yell after you stubbed your toe! My personal favourite Irish word is eejit. I think I may annoy the hell out of my husband every time I say it…especially if it’s him I’m calling an eejit (I would never do that!). Great list once again!
Ummmm….okay….so you are in my neighborhood and I didn’t know it. Isn’t this the perfect time for a bloggy meet-up? Even though I am really sorry about your friend’s passing
Love your Irish curse words!
Um,crap! So now, I learn I have yet ANOTHER issue over which to get my trousers in an effing twist. Effing *urban culture* is what has turned the words “gift” and “disrespect” into effing NOUNS, for chrissake! ; )
from Merriam-Webster:
gusset
1. a usually diamond-shaped or triangular insert in a seam (as of a sleeve, pocketbook, or shoe upper) to provide expansion or reinforcement
2. a plate or bracket for strengthening an angle in framework (as in a building or bridge)
Number 7 is awesome! And I’m sure God loved your rapture series…I think that’s when I first read your blog and was an instant fan.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend.
HAH! I love your greeting by God! Super awesome excellent! (Did I overstate that?)
I have to ask what noises wet flip flops make?
Oooh, I like that Irish string of curses… They’re the best at it, aren’t they? Hahahaa
SO agreeing on guys wearing ‘wife-beater’ tank top -> BIGGEST turn-off ever! The OCD in me would also be screaming with alarm, because for some reason I associate tank-top wearing guys with body odor. I tend to hold my breath whenever one passed my way.
Thank you for going Irish! I was too afraid to let loose on my own since it is supposed to be a family type blog! I am afraid if I let the Irish out for a run…I won’t be able to get it back in the stable.
Best laugh of the week on #10!
Hork is awesome.
I keep reading these link ups and discovering more jobs I wouldn’t want to do – you nailed another one!
LOVE your #10!!!
Haha! That Irish cursing is awesome and totally hilarious! I’d love to hear that in person! And #10 just killed me too!
I’m so glad you like San Francisco!!
My favorite place!!
I hope you enjoy your time away from the screen for screen-free week!!
