Interview with a Vampire Lover

Psst... to see super cute pics of my baby check out the new post on my baby blog here

A while ago, my dear blog friend Earl posted this meme (as he said in my comments: It's been around forever. This iteration of it was started by Adam over at Avitable.com) and put out the call for those bloggers who wanted to be interviewed. I answered that call, and what follows are the five questions, and my five answers.

Earl: Believe it or don't, but you are one of the very first handful of blogs that I started following back in the day. Besides the obvious addition of the little one, how has your blog life changed in their past three years?

Diva: Well, to be honest - i've been doing this blog thing for six years. There are a very minute handful of people who have followed me on the long trek from Diaryland to Blogger. And just the move from there to here has changed my blog life by allowing me to easily upload photos.

But aside from that junk, over the last three years since my move i've really developed a relationship with my blogging friends, both on line and off. As my audience grew, so did my devotion to the world of blogging and it gave me the incentive to update more often, and also to strive to write things that are entertaining and not just what i did all day. I don't know if that's something i've actually achieved, but i sure am trying.

Another huge change in my blogging life was family discovering and reading my blog - which has caused me to inadvertently censor myself in ways i wouldn't have done before. I find i write less about masturbation and my sex life because of that - and i KNOW that's the dirt that everyone really wants. So, maybe i'll get back on that track. lol. Who knows. i'll try. For you Slyde. ;)


Earl: What would you suggest for a night on the town if a rude New York City boy were ever to visit The Skatch?

Diva: Hm, that's a tough one, cuz really it would depend on what time of year you visit. Currently there's not much to do out of doors because it's so goddamned cold outside. it was -40 yesterday, which i believe is the same amount of rediculous cold in Celcius OR Farenheit. If it was warmer, like -20 C (or -4 F) then maybe there would be some kind of fun outdoor activity like snow shoeing or dog sledding (there must be SOMEONE out here who'd rig up a dogsled for a rude New York City boy) but you'd be more likely to find some folks who'd take you out for some snowmobiling. Or, we could stay inside and drink beer. Truthfully, that's what i'd prefer. We Skatchewanians are big on hangin' out and drinking. At least, anyone over 24. Anyone under 24 likes to imagine that our small little city has some kind of 'clubbing' scene, but we don't.

Y'know what we could do Earl? We'd drive out into the middle of nowhere (about 10 minutes from my house, lol) and you could see all the stars. I'm still amazed at how many stars you can see out in the middle of a farmer's field. And maybe if we're lucky, we'd smoke some reefer and watch the Northern Lights while listening to jazz on the CBC radio (Canadian Broadcasting Company). 'Course, that'd be more of a fun activity in the summer so you could lay on the hood of the car instead of huddled inside it, freezing, but then there's the Mosquitoes to contend with, the Provincial Bird. (They're ginormous and hungry in the summer)

I doubt that anything we had in the actual city where i live would be entertaining to someone from NYC. Except, you might find the size of our city cute.

Earl: Have you picked up the new direct sequel to Ender's Game yet? If not, what are you waiting for?

Diva: What the fuck??? Holy Hell, where have i been?? i will purchase it and read it immediately. I can't believe i let that slip by me... i could have asked for it for Festivus... come to think of it, WHY didn't YOU buy it for me Earl??

Earl: You still rocking the Rock Chick? ;)

Diva: What is it about boys and toys? Yes. Yes i am. And it rocks.

Earl: My baby sister had her gall bladder removed after her first pregnancy also. She now has problems with rich, creamy foods. Do you miss your former organ? Like...do you wish they kept if for you and dried it out so you could wear it as a funky necklace?

Diva: I don't miss that thing one bit. And y'know, they never even asked me if i wanted to keep it, or see it, or whatever. I don't know if i would have said yes. I've seen pictures of gallstones on the web and so i kinda have an idea of what they would've looked like, and hey - maybe they WOULDA made some cool beads... but i'm glad it's gone. So far i haven't had any problems with food except that i feel bloated more than i did before, and...uhm...i feel gassier *blush* but no more attacks.

As a side note, i DID keep my placenta. It's in my freezer.

Ok, so to continue on in the same Earl fashion....to play this meme follow these instructions:

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
