Genghis Jon Interviews Your Punk Ass! Episode XIII Featuring Ms Ophelia!!!!!
I don't know Ms Ophelia from Adam. She caught me on AIM a million years ago and asked for an interview. She seemed like an interesting, nice enough gal. Despite all that I still decided to interview her. She's a fellow New Englander too, so you know she's gotz da' flava!
So without anymore of this ado. I give you my interview with Ms Ophelia.
Genghis Jon- First question. You asked me not to ask about your sex life, so let's start with that. Really now...what are you trying to hide from us?
Ms Opelia- see, i debated saying that, because i knew that would pretty much guarantee it would be your first question. :) i'm not sure that the world is ready for my sensual self, so i was just trying to protect your gentle readers. there are very few things that i haven't or wouldn't try, at least once. and i've intimidated many a lesser man into submission (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). the serious answer is that there are some things i choose not to write about online. by and large, my sex life is one of them. it's not that i don't write that kind of thing (i write a fair amount of erotica in my spare time...of which i have none). it's more that the journal is a place for Writing, and talking about my life, and a desire to respect the individuals who choose to share my bed. or sofa. or kitchen table.
Genghis Jon- You've seem to have your share of being screwed by men. How many inches are you from all-out lesbianism?
Ms Opelia- about 6 and a half. *wry grin* The failures always make for more interesting stories, which is why more than the fair share of Bad Boy Stories make it into the journal. and then, of course, there's my fat fuck nut of an exhusband. here's hoping that i'm nearly done with *that* one. and while i haven't written about them much, as they happened before i started journalling, i've had my share of failures with women as well. wouldn't you like to know more about *that*? ;) it comes down to this: short of the plumbing issues, men and women can be equally bad. or, as D's grandfather used to say, 'D, me boy, everyone is an asshole. it's just that some of them are your kind of asshole.' (read in a rolling Irish accent for full effect and hey - don't they all turn out to be bad dates/relationships/whatevers until you find The One? yes, despite all the crap, i hold out the belief that you can find the one person you can spend your life with. interested parties should feel free to drop me a line. ;)
Genghis Jon- Who do you hate more? You ex-husband, or people who stop at green lights?
Ms Opelia- oh, isn't that a delicious fantasy - my exhusband being the one that stops at the green light! all the evil rolled into one easy package to hit! i get aggravated with people on the road, and rant about it a lot. but the aggravation is temporary. the ex husband is sort of a festering boil. i'm hoping that i've finally lanced that one, and he can find a way to move on and leave me alone.
Genghis Jon- Since President Bush isn't with us, I'll ask you on his behalf. The war on terror. Are you with us, or are you against us?
Ms Opelia- with you, baby. with you all the way. okay. i don't think that violence will solve violence. i don't advocate violent solutions (except for rearending the fucker at the green light). but that's a pretty naive view, isn't it? if we have to go to war, or covert operations, or whatever you want to call it, i'll back the US and its allies til the cows come home. i don't think it will solve the whole issue, because it's not just about military action. but if it makes the world a safer place for now, it's what we have to do. wouldn't it be nice if we could just wave a magic wand, or use whatever incantation that witch from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood used, and just make all the nastiness go away?
Genghis Jon- You once wrote "why is it that guys feel the need to express themselves so crudely? i don't *like* hearing 'whoo, mamma!' as i walk down the street to run an errand." You do understand that tradition is unique to Boston only, don't you?
Ms Opelia- au contraire, mon frere. i've gotten that in pretty much every place i've visited, and in various languages. i suppose i should take it as a compliment that i've been hollered at in English, Italian, Portugese, Spanish, and a few others i can't identify. hey, women: let's turn the tables, shall we? i hereby nominate the second week of October as National Objectify the Boys Week. to participate, unleash your inner Raunchy Girl. walk by guys on the street and slow down. lower your shades. look them up and down - slowly. and scream the first thing that comes to mind. 'nice ass, bubba!' 'pretty boy! whoo hoo!' '*nice* abs - wanna work out with me?!' i think this could be fun. :)
Genghis Jon- You appear to champion the womyn's cause. I applaud you. Seriously, the way you substitute 'God' for 'Godess' (i.e. "Oh my Godess) is an important statement to motivate womyn everywhere on their rightful place as superiors in this world. Congrats. Anyway, my question is what's your favorite cookie recipe?
Ms Opelia- i think it's the Neiman Marcus chocolate chip cookies. but it's a pain in the ass to make, because it makes about 8 dozen cookies, and even after mailing some to friends and bringing some in to work, there are too many cookies. how about my great-aunt Edith's Ginger Crisps? Cream together 3/4 cup butter and 3/4 cup sugar. Add 1 egg and 1/4 cup dark molasses. (poor moles. they give themselves in pursuit of the finest cookies.) Stir. Sift together 2 cups flour, 2 tsps baking soda, some cinnamon, ginger and ground cloves. Add to the batter and stir. Scoop dough out in teaspoons, roll in sugar, and bake for 12 minutes at 375� F. Makes about 2 dozen cookies that taste really good warm and dipped in milk, which is just about right for a late night film with a friend. Or by yourself. :)
