The Interview Meme from Ren

Oh, memes are always a fun timewaster. This nifty one is from Ren, and the way it works is that you volunteer to be interviewed in the comments, and then I interview you and you post it on your blog. However, I don't think too many people who read this even *have* blogs, but if you do, feel free.

Jazz or Blues?

Blues, definitely. Bessie Smith is pretty much my favorite ever.

Your dream job is?

Something that involves not having just one job. I am compulsively all over the place.

One thing you always have in your purse/pocket?

Chanel Red No. 5 Lipstick

Your motto in life?

I have many sayings- but I don't think I could settle on one as my official motto. Some favorites are:
"I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it will be with a knife"
--Louise Brooks

"Throw your crazy on the table"
-- My mom. (Basically it just means that if you freely admit to everything horrible and ridiculous about yourself it becomes less horrible and ridiculous, and also no one can accuse you of being a hypocrite)

“I've been a wicked girl," said I: "But if I can't be sorry, why, I might as well be glad!”
-- Edna St. Vincent Millay

"I shall stay the way I am, because I do not give a damn"
-- Dorothy Parker

Favorite food?

Baked stuffed lobster and clam cakes- but only when I'm back in New England. Otherwise, eggplant parmesan.

I am in love with this quote.
