Welcome to a new Twindie.net regular. I like people. The act of getting to know someone is so exhilarating. Thus, Twindie.net devised 8 questions to ask cool people. These questions will remain basically identical for each participant. First up is ExMi. She’s quite the Twitter aficionado and has two great blogs: Expensive Mistakes and Cheap Thrills and A Bad Mommy Blog. It might not always be my cup of tea, but some of her anecdotes are quips are fun! Oh, and her favourite band is Breaking Benjamin and she likes nerds.
1) If you had to explain to others what your site is about by only using a your hands and five words (own choice) how would you do it?
Using my hands:

Five words: 1. relationships; 2. sex; 3. parenting; 4. life; 5. bullshit.
2) Have you ever used your site in an alternative way other than its intended purposes? Persuade people? Brag about yourself? Blackmail people? Pick up people at bars? Well this is asuming that your site is not about persuading, bragging and blackmailing.
Does bragging about my Kid all the time count? I don’t believe I’ve ever used my site for something it wasn’t intended for. I’ve never blackmailed anyone with it, as far as I know, and to date, I’ve never blackmailed anyone yet. Mostly because I have a crap memory, and I forget what I’m supposed to blackmail them for/with. I’ve never used my blog to pick up men, not even in bars. I used to use myspace for that, back in my single days. As lame as that might sound.
Myspace was a virtual take-out menu for a single girl with a ravenous appetite and a love of variety. I was always busy with exams and assignments and partying with my friends and shopping and drinking and recovering from hangovers – who had time to meet guys the normal ways? Not me.
3) What’s your worst fear and favourite memory?
My worst fear (pre-Kid) was heights. Couldn’t climb a ladder, wouldn’t dream of climbing a chair and cant go on any of the rides at Gold Reef City.
Now, my worst fear is something happening to my Kid and I’m not there to prevent it. Something happening to my Kid that would mean me losing him.
4) If I say “baby” you say…?
Baby love. There is absolutely nothing like baby love.
5) Is there any question you would like to ask yourself in this interview? If so, please answer it. (Don’t post the question).
Yes, I have a *thing* for words. My favourite word of all time is probably “pertinent”. This is probably one of those you-had-to-be-there jokes, but amongst my friends in undergrad school, it was the running joke to use the word “pertinent” as many times as was humanly possible in answering exams/writing assignments/writing legal opinions/making case notes/whatever.
We were all in the top 10% of the class.All the undercover smart motherfuckers that took everyone by surprise. We bunked classes, sat in the back and slept, partied hard and looked like the slackers. Except we were the closet nerds. The ones who worked hard. Worked smart. The ones that were smart. And had silly insider jokes about words and phrases and grammar. “Pertinent”. I once managed to use that word 44 times in a 16page exam answer.
You could always tell when one of us had managed to use that word for the umpteenth time in an exam, because there was always a snigger or a snort like it was the first time all over again.
6) Favourite movie? Favourite band? Favourite book? Favourite blog? Favourite person?
Movie: Death at a Funeral
Band: Breaking Benjamin
Book: “It” by Stephen King
Blog: The Jackson Files
Person: it’s a tie between my Kid and my Boyfriend.
7) Your site is cool. Do you agree with this statement?
Sure. Why not? Everyone likes to think their shit’s cool, right?
8) If you were on death row what would your last words be?
“Night, night bitches. Catch you on the flip side.”
