The Questions Answered......
Tina Asks: "What do you like most and hate most in people?"
- I tend to be most attracted by people who are natural and effortless... Someone who has an easy sense of humour and a positive outlook of themselves. Someone who has opinions with something upstairs to back it up.
I absolutely cannot handle the type of people (men especially) who are constantly in a "who's cock is bigger than whose" contest.... The typical argument for the sake of arguing people. Life is too short to always be right.
"If you could meet anybody, who would it be?"
- I think I would like to meet my fave author Erika Lopez.
She is the most hilarious, off-the-wall and enjoyable writer EVER. She writes the way my mind thinks.....
"You're pretty open in your blog, but have you got any really deep secrets that you don't tell a soul? (I'm not asking you to reveal any, just wondering if there's a darker side to Connie)".
- I have to say yes.... I've certainly had my moments in the past. I think every person alive has at least one deep dark secret about themselves, don't you think?
"Do you ever get "straight" women hitting on you, and how does this make you feel?"
- you know something, in my past experiences, its generally the severely intoxicated straight women that find me irresistible. One girl who works in the office at my company even went as far as to slur "You know, at one time I thought I was a lesbian... If I ever am I would go after you, but I don't know if I could, you know...do the sex part" and then she hiccuped went in for a kiss, then pulled back and said "I probably shouldn't"...and stumbled off to the party. The whole time my eyes bugging out in disbelief, so shocked I never said a damn word... I mean I never would have guessed that would have ever taken place in a million years.
I have also had various make out sessions with 3 other so-called-straight women - 1 who even had a boyfriend. (geez, sounds like I've a sordid past doesn't it?!?!)
I suppose I should be flattered but it more makes me wonder just how many "straight" women there actually are out there who are that easily swayed with a little bit of alcohol..... Which brings me to your question "Who was your favourite snog"?
It, hands down, was with a straight artist girl I lived with when I was 20, whom I was in raptures with for years and was single-handedly responsible bringing out the whole "librarian" business in me. The unrequited love was painful and she and I eventually went our separate ways... her finding a boyfriend and me trudging thru a string of utterly horrible girl relations.
- New Years Eve 1999; she briefly shows up at my party just before midnight, doesn't say too much, but at 2 minutes to the hour comes over and plants a long passion-filled kiss on me, states matter of factly that she is leaving, finds her boyfriend in the crowd and is gone.
I've not heard from her since.
Herge Asks: " What was your best sexual encounter?"
- My best sexual encounter.... Well it would have to be the first night I met my lovely Girlfriend Jenn, last year on a blind date/setup dinner party. She was here to visit her niece who happens to be the girlfriend of a good buddy of mine at work. To make a long story short, the remainder of her visit from Edmonton to the Okanagan ended up being with me in a blissed out sexathon. I honestly don't think we have missed a day speaking on the phone since or gone more than 6 weeks without seeing each other... (I really should've bought shares in Westjet.)
Going back to Tina's question - Jenn makes me laugh so easily... That is such an utter turn-on in the simplest form.
"What's your favourite meal?"
- I really love any type of curry dish, pizza, and for some reason I eat a lot of pickles and Havarti cheese on Whole wheat crackers.
"Your favourite song?"
- As far as a song that I love and that I have never got sick of hearing is "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac... it makes me feel happy everytime.
"Your fav telly show? (think I already know the answer to this un)"
- Yes obviously "The L Word", but to be honest I tend not to watch T.V. that much. I usually go for a "Simpsons" rerun if I do.
"On the boobs post, was one pair yours?"
- Ah HA Herge! I musn't tell a lie.... Mine were in fact the bottom left - the sunburnt ones with the pink shirt. It's not the most flattering picture of them, hence I didn't receive one vote. I assure you they are MUCH nicer when they are out and about.
Lisa From Alaska Asks: "Do men hit on you? How does a man's game differ form a woman's?"
- Actually Yes, They do. Mostly it is my work mates because we have formed a pretty cool respectful bond over the years. I think these guys appreciate my ability to muck in with them and to have a laugh about the perpetual "guy stuff". I think they are attracted to the "buddy" type thing they get with me....I suspect it's ultimately quite the change from their prissy, bitchy wives - that, in addition the whole "you probably haven't great sex with a man (namely me) yet" lesbian challenge.
The mens game is generally a sex thing first off, its all sweet talk and fluff, where as typically a woman is looking for a companionship and trust first, hence a lot of talking and questions and generally the sex will come later.
But, then again, before I get all stereotypical on your ass, I have also come across the seductress types before - and you know they are all about one thing... And that's cool too.
"I imagine that your job allows your brain quite a bit of free time to wander. That do you think about when you're grinding away? Do have reoccuring thoughts/daydreams/fantasies or is it mostly random?"
- That's actually a cool question... Its either my brain is completely engrossed with trying to figure out the repairs from Boeing engineering drawings when doing major stuff, or when we have the monotonous tasks, like corrosion grinding, the mind is definitely set adrift. I tend to think about what I will write in my blog posts to be honest! That or crunch numbers of my debts. Lately though it has been stressing out (in a good way) about the arrival of my GF and all her furniture in 2 weeks... Stay tuned for more updates on that coming very soon.
"If you were a cereal, what would you be?"
- Fruit Loops!
April Asks: " What was your most embarrassing incident ever? If you could do things over again, what would you change? And Why?"
- Well, the first embarrassing thing that comes to mind happened at my High School Graduation Party at a classmates Farm. I wish I remembered the details a bit better, but basically being 17 and not that big of a drinker, I polished off 6 Labatt's Ice beers and somehow I went in the ajoining forest to either #1. Pee #2. Puke or #3. A little bit of both. Well turns out in my drunkenness I curled up on the forest floor and slept the night. I awoke to a beautiful morning at approx. 6 am with not a soul in sight. Too embarrassed to knock on the classmates door I trudged the 2 km's back into the nearest gas station where I called my more than annoyed father to come pick me up. While I waited, sitting on the curb, covered in mud and stinking of my alcoholic exploits , a man gave me a dollar and told me to buy myself a coffee because I looked like hell.
All in all I wouldn't have changed a thing... Years later it remains one of those great youthful legacy stories.
Karen Asks: "Are you hyper all the time in real life?"
"And are you a "boob" woman or a "leg" woman?"
- Well, Karen, I used to be a lot more hyper in my younger years, but the stresses of a real life full time job, taxes, home ownership and the state of the world has mellowed me out a bit although I still enjoy singing out loud while I am at work.
It's funny because in reality I prefer to spend time by myself nowadays for the most part because people generally annoy me, but get me in the right mood and put me in a social atmosphere I tend to be the cheeky loudmouth and mirthful one. It must be my Gemini duality coming out.
As for being a "boob" or "leg" girl I would have to go with titties for sure.... (although I have been know to adore a nice set of ass cleavage a time or two as well.)
Barbara Asks: " Why do you think that a "ask me a question" post is an interesting thing?"
Well, Barbara I think we all tend to be paranoid and pre-programmed to be so cryptic and anonymous when it comes to the internet and "cyber-relations" so to speak. It's always the question of how "real" this whole thing is and whether its worth the emotional attachment. Whatever it is, I sure seem to spend a shitload of my free time worrying about it.... That's real isn't it?
ultimately I think this is an exercise in letting down your guard a bit, opening up. ......That and its an easy blog post for the day!
....And Last but certainly not least,
Erin Asks: "How about....Are you coming to the cabin the last week in August? Book off some time and get the girlfriend out too. She has to be initiated properly and you know that takes a few days minimum."
- Erin Baby, I am there! Yes, I know all about the "few days minimum" thing. I believe I arrived up at that same cabin last August with a full intention of staying one night bringing 12 beers and a blanket. 3 days later (still in the same clothes) I managed to scrape my sunburnt corpse off the dock and make it home for my night shift. Thank-you for the invite.... We shall be in touch. I am certain I will be hosting a fabulous deck party before then and you are on the coveted guest list.
P.S. - Thats you Erin, in the center, rockin' out to Dolly Parton.... remember that! Good Times - lol!
