Re: ROLL CALL

  • Name: BOONEY
    Where in the world are you? Between a rock and a hard place
    When did you join the nest? Back in the days when dinosaurs ruled the earth and square blue nesticles existed 
    Favorite authors:  Neil Gaiman, Jon Krakauer, Joe Hill
    Best book of 2014?  I really loved "I'll Give You the Sun"
    What's better - fresh, clean sheets or blanket straight from the dryer? Clean sheets
    Turning on the radio and hearing the song you were going to put on, or your phone rings at the exact moment you were about to call that friend? Radio.  Something about the power of a good song just brightens your day like nothing else can.
    The "just finished a workout" feeling, or the "just finished an amazing meal" feeling? Workout 
    Morning sex or night sex? Depends who you are having the sex with 
    What is immediately to your left? Work I am neglecting
    Why is Neil Gaiman so sexy? Because he likes cats.

    Bonus Zombie Question - You are sitting next to Ryan Gosling, J.K. Rowling and Barack Obama at the 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner, when the Zombie Apocalypse breaks out. The entire room is being infected rapidly, and your row is being closed in on by Zombie Kim Kardashian. You have to sacrifice one person to the zombies to get out alive. Who gets eaten? Not Obama because I don't trust Joe Biden to take over the presidency.  Not Ryan Gosling because I would like to keep him as a cabana boy (and he would owe it to me for saving his life).  So it would have to be JK.  She has already provided the world with her magnum opus and it can't get any better than Harry Potter so she can be sacrificed for the greater good and go out on a high note.

    When did you join the nest? 2.5 million years ago, when The Knot forced all the annoying married ladies off their message boards to a brand new site. 
    What's better - fresh, clean sheets or blanket straight from the dryer? Nothing trumps a warm blanket.
    Turning on the radio and hearing the song you were going to put on, or your phone rings at the exact moment you were about to call that friend? Song.
    The "just finished a workout" feeling, or the "just finished an amazing meal" feeling? Well, I don't work out, so...
    Morning sex or night sex? I am SO not a morning person.
    What is immediately to your left? A pile of empty Tootsie Roll wrappers. 
    Why is Neil Gaiman so sexy? Umm...I've never held this opinion. Don't revoke my NBC card.

    Name: Eli 
    Where in the world are you? At my desk, neglecting a billion photos that I have to edit. 
    When did you join the nest? I joined the knot in 2005, and first began posting on NBC in 2009.  
    Favorite authors: Neil Gaiman, Diana Gabaldon, JKR, Patrick Rothfuss, Anne Rice
    Best book of 2014?  Landline 
    What's better - fresh, clean sheets or blanket straight from the dryer?  Blanket straight from the dryer
    Turning on the radio and hearing the song you were going to put on, or your phone rings at the exact moment you were about to call that friend?Song on the radio! 
    The "just finished a workout" feeling, or the "just finished an amazing meal" feeling? Just worked out 
    Morning sex or night sex? Night sex (because ew, morning breath)
    What is immediately to your left? My overbooked calendar
    Why is Neil Gaiman so sexy?  The way his mind works. The hair. His library. And most importantly, the accent. 

    Bonus Zombie Question - You are sitting next to Ryan Gosling, J.K. Rowling and Barack Obama at the 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner, when the Zombie Apocalypse breaks out. The entire room is being infected rapidly, and your row is being closed in on by Zombie Kim Kardashian. You have to sacrifice one person to the zombies to get out alive. Who gets eaten? I had to think long and hard about this, but I I'd have to surrender Ryan. I love a ridiculously good looking man as much as the next, but what useful skills would he have in a Zombie Apocalypse? And he's not the ONLY good looking man. We need the president to calm the panicked mob, and I just can't allow the brain that created Harry Potter to end up as zombie food. That brain can create magnificent things.

    - Gayle Forman
    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

    Bonus Zombie Question - You are sitting next to Ryan Gosling, J.K. Rowling and Barack Obama at the 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner, when the Zombie Apocalypse breaks out. The entire room is being infected rapidly, and your row is being closed in on by Zombie Kim Kardashian. You have to sacrifice one person to the zombies to get out alive. Who gets eaten? Ryan Gosling.  Sorry Ryan.  Ok, my reasoning.  I'm sitting next to JKR, I see that we are about to die, and I tell her that I will sacrifice her unless she promises to write a prequel series with the Marauders, and of course I say it loud enough that there is no backing out for her because a lot of people hear. And it's being televised.  So, sorry JKR, you are writing my books for me.  It can't be Obama because if people see me not saving him, who knows what kind of trouble I will get into!  So it has to be Ryan.

  • I can't believe you all are sacrificing my cabana boy!!!!!  You are all uninvited to survive the zombie apocolypse on my luxury yacht (where Mr. Gosling will be serving me pretty drinks with paper umbrellas in them, and Hey Girling me while waiting on me shirtless). 

    You can all hole up in your houses and enjoy getting eaten by zombies while reading something by Robert Galbraith.

    Best book of 2014?  Not including re-reads, Bed of Roses by NR. 
    What's better - fresh, clean sheets or blanket straight from the dryer? Fresh sheets.
    Turning on the radio and hearing the song you were going to put on, or your phone rings at the exact moment you were about to call that friend? Hearing the song I was about to play.
    The "just finished a workout" feeling, or the "just finished an amazing meal" feeling? Meal.
    Morning sex or night sex? Night.
    What is immediately to your left? Coffee Mug and my Kindle.
    Why is Neil Gaiman so sexy? Authors are just sexy.

    Bonus Zombie Question - You are sitting next to Ryan Gosling, J.K. Rowling and Barack Obama at the 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner, when the Zombie Apocalypse breaks out. The entire room is being infected rapidly, and your row is being closed in on by Zombie Kim Kardashian. You have to sacrifice one person to the zombies to get out alive. Who gets eaten? Obama. I figure if he has all that secret service that has failed him then it must be a sign. But JKR needs to write me some more books and Ryan would owe me his life and have to spend the rest of our (short, zombie-filled) lives making it up to me.

    Plus, if our country is so overrun by zombies that the White House is full of them, we really don't need a president anymore anyway.

    What's better - fresh, clean sheets or blanket straight from the dryer? Depends on the time of year.  warm blanket right now.  Cool fresh sheets in the summer.
    Turning on the radio and hearing the song you were going to put on, or your phone rings at the exact moment you were about to call that friend? Song
    The "just finished a workout" feeling, or the "just finished an amazing meal" feeling? Workout. Which would hopefully lead to the meal

    Why is Neil Gaiman so sexy? I haven't read his stuff.... yet so I can't comment.

    Bonus Zombie Question - You are sitting next to Ryan Gosling, J.K. Rowling and Barack Obama at the 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner, when the Zombie Apocalypse breaks out. The entire room is being infected rapidly, and your row is being closed in on by Zombie Kim Kardashian. You have to sacrifice one person to the zombies to get out alive. Who gets eaten? Oh man.  Everyone has such good answers.  I too like the idea of offering up JKR a chance to write a prequel series and I'm assuming she wants to be saved and agrees to it.  There's not ever going to be enough 'Hey Girl's ' out there to justify sacrificing RG.  So , I guess it's BO.
