#yes Betty is a nickname for Elizabeth but Betty white is just Betty. her real name is not Elizabeth

[frenchtwistresistance]

Audience booing her (kinda lame, non-matching, nevertheless reasonable) answer (to the question, “At the terrible Death Valley restaurant they only serve _____ sandwiches” [contestant said sand]).

Brett: I’m in menopause!

Audience dying laughing.

Betty White: I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve heard you’re wonderful.

Audience dying laughing again.

Brett: What did you say, Elizabeth?

Gene paraphrases what Betty said.

Brett: Well, hers is so far behind her that she doesn’t remember.

Audience continues dying laughing.

Space Asks, Redux

I have a bad cold, so I'm doing one of these things. I'm gonna fill it out like a MySpace survey because that's how old I am.

Comet- What are you currently frustrated about?

My job.

Black Hole- What are you most afraid of? 

How little control I actually have over my life (i.e. whether or not someone nukes someone, the economy, the weather, etc.).

Galaxy- Do you have any nicknames? What are they?

I have a few online aliases. Dingo and Ruby are my most used. In real life I just get called the wrong name a lot. 

Star- What song(s) do you feel describes you?

Currently, Numb Little Bug.

Moon- Are you currently reading any books? If so, what book(s)?

I'm reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova and listening to Bram Stoker's Dracula as a audiobook.

Planets- If you could go anywhere, where would you go? 

Somewhere cozy, like a cabin with a fireplace or something. I usually like a warm beach, but it's Fall, so I'm in the mood for cozy stuff.

Mercury- Describe your aesthetic. 

Uh, 90s grunge (think Winona Ryder) with a dash of Victorian gothic (i.e. Eva Green in Penny Dreadful). Unless I'm at work. Then it's all business casual or whatever. Lame. In that case it's Jennifer Aniston from Friends with a dash of Zooey Deschanel in New Girl.

Venus- What’s your favorite tv show? 

Of all time: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Currently airing: I am LOVING the new Interview with the Vampire show. Yeah, I'm very into vampires.

Earth- If you could be anyone else for a day, who would you want to be?

Nicole Kidman. I just love her, and I'd love to know what her day-to-day is like.

Mars- If you could change one thing about yourself, what would you change? 

Get rid of my clinical anxiety.

Jupiter- If you had to pick one color to use for an entire week, what color would you choose? 

I mean, use in what context? Probably teal. Or purple.

Saturn- How far would you go for those you care about? 

Wow. Heavy question. Depends on how urgent the situation is, I suppose.

Uranus- What would you say is your greatest achievement? 

I don't think I've achieved it yet.

I am very anxious but very creative.

Pluto- If you could meet anyone, alive or dead, who would you meet? 

Betty White.

Constellations- If you could have one talent, what would you want it to be? (can be magical or not)

Teleportation.

Asteroid- When you die, what do you want to be done with your body?

I don't really care. Donate all my organs. Do whatever is less burdonsome financially. Just don't donate me to science. I don't want to be getting embalmed by some poor mortician, get possessed by some weird demon, and wreak havoc on people.

Aquarius- What’s a topic you enjoy learning about? 

Space. I love space (obviously). Also cultural practices and mythologies different from mine.

A bat. They just look super cute.

As someone who left the world better than I found it.

Close friends? 3 - 5

Capricornus- What’s a song lyric that you relate to? 

This is me trying (from This is Me Trying by Taylor Swift)

Cygnus- If you could go back to any time period for a couple days, when/where would you want to go?

Ancient Egypt. I'd say Mesopotamia, but I'm terrified there'd be like alien gods or something there.

Gemini- Do you have any siblings? How many?

No.

Leo- If you could change the way any movie was made, which movie would you change?

The Mummy with Tom Cruise. There needed to be more Annabelle Wallis and more Sofia Boutella, less Tom Cruise Tom Cruise'ing.

Libra- If you could talk to your past self, what would you tell yourself?

It will get worse. BUT, after it gets worse it will get so much better. Toughen up. Don't take any shit.

Lyra- Would you rather be feared or loved?

Loved, wtf?

I could feel better, but not bad.

Supergiant- What’s something you like about yourself?

Lavendar vanilla.

Protostar- Give a random fact about yourself.  

I love true crime. Not "The Thing About Pam" true crime where it's kind of campy and weird. I like things like Cold Justice - they're gonna find that fucker.
