For @d-lightfulexcess, who wanted to know about Halloween candy, salad dressing, and “the talk.” :)
11. What’s one Halloween candy that you would hate getting as a child?
Well, you know that I love candy corn, and I was also a big fan of those weird taffy-like things that came in black or orange wrappers? I mean, I am here for shit candy. Oh my god, wax lips and those little wax bottles of kool-aid? Those were my absolute favorites. So basically all candy is good candy and I refuse to participate in any candy-shaming. Get off my blog with that nonsense.
1. What is your go-to flavor of salad dressing?
Vinaigrette. It’s my choice 95% of the time. (The other 5% of the time I get something else and then regret my poor decision making skills.)
9. What age were you given “the talk”?
I was given many talks over the years, starting when I was in preschool and asked where babies come from and my mother, bless her soul, said, “men have penises and put them in women’s vaginas.” Other talk highlights: When I was 14 so mom sat me down and said, “when you want to get on the pill someday, you tell me. I won’t ask any questions and I will take you to the doctor.” Then she explained that I shouldn’t sleep with anyone unless I really wanted to, and that if I did, I should make sure they were “giving.” (I’m pretty sure she meant “would do oral” -- which is funny, because I think cunnilingus is the sexual equivalent of watching paint dry, but I appreciate her sentiment.) The only talk I ever got from my dad was this, word for word: “You are going to go to college. Don’t get pregnant.” Then he walked out of the room. :)
