Big noses (lengthwise, not widthwise, and big within reason)
Cutting myself (very rarely these days though)
The suffering of others (if it's non-fatal and will build character anyway)
Mondays
Rental Cars, Hotel Rooms

― Dancing Queen, Monday, 17 November 2003 01:04 (twenty-two years ago)

hotel rooms! you are so right!

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Monday, 17 November 2003 01:09 (twenty-two years ago)

especially drinking in hotel rooms, i have no idea why. it is so exciting! and usually involves lots of rowdy people!

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Monday, 17 November 2003 01:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Tracksuits on people who could do much better with their looks.
Having my stomach urinated on.
Eating expensive food or ice cream so fast I don't remember how they tasted.

― Dancing Queen, Monday, 17 November 2003 01:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Exactly Emily! I mean, it's just a room, and usually more confining than a regular friend's apartment, but something about the act of renting something under restricted time inspires a fun urgentness in people. Whenever I walk into a hotel room I immediately think orgy.

― Dancing Queen, Monday, 17 November 2003 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Well to be honest the hotel orgy has never happened because I'm sure it would destroy friendships, but yes, drinking and watching TV in a hotel room is strangely freeing, not depressing.

― Dancing Queen, Monday, 17 November 2003 01:18 (twenty-two years ago)

hotel rooms are so much fun

― the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 17 November 2003 01:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Along the lines of stale coffee... I've got sort of a thing for instant coffee. It's nutty and weird. I like. On occasion. Not from the Nescafe machine, though. The actual crystals. Mmm.

Cold toast.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 17 November 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Every time I drink in a hotel room we end up playing drinking games and I always end up losing magnificently and passing out way before anyone else which results in "funny" things being drawn on my face with a magic marker. And thus my love for this is irrational...BOOYAH!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 17 November 2003 13:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Sucking all the foam off the top of the cappuccino before I drink it!

(I was very naughty at the weekend and sucked the foam off the top of HSA's cappuccino, mmmmmmm.)

To be heard in girls-only dorm-room huddles across america: "Well, seeya girls, gotta go 'de-foam' the QB!" "Oh, you awful little PORN STAR!" "Oh poo, you WORSHIP me!" "(general screaming)

― Dancing Queen, Monday, 17 November 2003 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Who is Dancing Queen? A regular, or someone else hiding behind a pseudonym?

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 17 November 2003 14:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I've seen DQ posting a lot lately, so if it's a pseudonym, it's a regular pseudonym...

― Citizen Kate (kate), Monday, 17 November 2003 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi guys. Like I said in that other thread, I have only recently de-lurked. How's it going?!?

― Dancing Queen, Monday, 17 November 2003 14:09 (twenty-two years ago)

(However, much as it was posted in innocence, I now see the naughtiness in the idea of sucking the foam off someone's capp, so I giggle in complicity.)

― Citizen Kate (kate), Monday, 17 November 2003 14:09 (twenty-two years ago)

QB: "So babe, my uh, "cappucino" is feelin' a bit top-heavy..."

Pink doesn't like the foam, she likes the Latte!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Monday, 17 November 2003 14:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you hate foam?

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 17 November 2003 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Dancing queen I wasn't talking to you.

Kate - i can dig foam as much as you!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 17 November 2003 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah, my mistake! Love the foam!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Monday, 17 November 2003 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah! We just dig the starfuxors!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 17 November 2003 14:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh LOL I'm sorry, I though you were using "smee" as a verb. Not that I'd put it past ya, bitch. (Just kidding.) ;)

― Dancing Queen, Monday, 17 November 2003 14:23 (twenty-two years ago)

You will know when I am talking to you!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 17 November 2003 14:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I realize that!

― Dancing Queen, Monday, 17 November 2003 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Now I know what to get HSA for Xmas - I will get him a cappuccino foamer! So I can suck his foam whenever he is not looking!

(Except on the last tour, we found a shop that sold portable capp foamers and we all bought them, except we started chasing each other around the van going ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ at one another with them so of course they all broke within a week and there was no more foam for any of us, boo hoo.)

― Citizen Kate (kate), Monday, 17 November 2003 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

U & K Kate!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 17 November 2003 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Many congrats for doing the right thing and delurking, Dancing Queen!

Some irrational likes of mine:

1. Singing along to a Gin Blossoms single from the early '90s. "Each one's more wasted than the others, you can bet, on Allison Road...." *continues singing along*

2. Pulling on nail cuticles until they come loose. I realize it's not exactly the healthiest thing to do, but I like not seeing one of those overhang at all.

3. Extra-firm mattresses. I have one of those and I love it so much more than one of those super-plush, super-soft deals. I get such a good night's sleep out of it.

4. Alan Titchmarsh's physical appearance. Dear God, I cannot explain why I like that, especially since it makes no sense in re: my own personal list of "attractive features".

Hm. About it, I think.

I like the smell of skunk. From a distance, mind you. I've never been sprayed directly by one or I might change my tune. I had a scratch-n-sniff sticker of one when I was a kid. I wore it out.
