My answers to this week’s Friday Five follow. Man, this is an easy way to create filler for my site! Why didn’t I start doing it years ago?
1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails?
Nothing. Unless you mean my work emails, which indicate all the ways colleagues can contact me in order to order me around or forward me offensive jokes and inspirational PowerPoint presentations.
2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven’t graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be?
I stayed home from school on picture day to avoid being in the senior yearbook and having to purchase one. I had an aversion to posing for photos. Also, I hated school.
3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?
Um… I would make them say 88888. That doesn’t make sense, I know, but vanity plates are so very tacky.
4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?
Um… no. No, I haven’t. This question is lame. They should have asked what you’d make your Chinese character tattoo say. If I had to get one, I’d hide it under my hair and it’d say, “shrimp fried rice”.
5. What would you like your epitaph to be?
“Gwendolyn Zepeda, beloved mother and girlfriend. Those who knew her, knew her well. Those who didn’t can go to…. Hello, operator! Give me number 9! And if you don’t connect me, I’ll kick your big…. Behind the bubble tea house, there was a bunch of grass… I went to meet your mama there and kicked her in the…. Ask me no more questions, I’ll tell you no more lies….” etc., etc.
