So TQC, every year Philadelphia has a bigger than fuck 4th of July celebration. It's enormous, there's a million people that show up and there's a pre-fireworks concert and then super amazing fireworks right over the parkway. Thing is, if I go, I want to show up in the afternoon and hang around until midnight (like I don't want to just show up for the fireworks because I'd just stay home at that rate). However, it's a pretty big hassle to spend all day and there's a shitload of people.

So, TQC, should I go to philly or just stay home and relax and then watch the boring township fireworks from my bedroom window?

What should I do?

1. Has anyone see Hancock yet? Did you enjoy it? My father and I are going to see it today. I'll go whether it's good or bad because, hey, free movie.

2. What's your favorite nail polish/nail enamel colour(provided you wear such)? I wear a variety of colours, but just on my toes. Polish on my fingernails just makes my fingers look short and stumpy(more so than they are).

3. Are you off today? If not are you at least getting paid time and a half(if you live in America, I mean)? My company doesn't pay time and a half for days like today, but since I'm full time this is a paid holiday for me.

4. Would you post a random pic?

This came up when I googled "picture".

Alright TQC,

What is your all-time favourite song and it's genre??

TIA!!

1. What does July 4th mean to you?

2. Why did the manager at Whole Foods attempt to label me "unpatriotic" for not having 4th plans?

3. Because he's a bloody conservative republican who can't see past his own hard-on for America to realize that the US may just NOT be "the greatest country in the world!"?

got any tips for arranging pictures that you hang on a wall?

i've got tons... and they're sort of a mess, everywhere. i'm not sure if i should try to cluster them or what. i'm bad at pretty. i've got all different sizes, too... from 3x5 picture frames to a 4'x6' oil painting.

maybe there's a particularly good magazine or website that illustrates lots of pictures looking "together"?

a) Would you/have you masturbated (insertion) with food? Like a banana or cucumber?

b) Would you, after achieving orgasm, eat that particular item of food?

What sounds are going on around you right now?

As in, what noises do you hear. People typing, birds chirping, whatever. Sorry, that's awkward phrasing. 

What's a better way to word that question?

My name is Jessica Veryjewishname - nonjewishname. My question is, which part of the surname should I drop? Having a double barrelled name is extremely irritating and cumbersome - it never fits on official forms, for a start. So can anyone think of any downsides of changing my surname at my age (19) or has someone here already had experience of changing their surname and did they have any regrets? My only major concern is how my (Jewish) father might feel.

I was considering posting this yesterday in an attempt to shield the majority of you from your shortcomings on this, your day of independence. Most of you didn't do very well at all this time around. The theme (biopics) was apparently a tricky one this week and very few of you managed to get full marks on the Guess Who section, so better luck next time eh? Anyway, enough of my jibberjabberin', let's find out if you're one of the people who sucked or not!

1. My fiance swears up and down there's a wasp in the kitchen, and left me to take care of it so he could go to the bathroom for a marathon session before work (/tmi). However, I don't see where the wasp is supposed to be.

Where's the wasp? Did it make an escape when I opened the window? Or is it hiding, ready to strike? How do you get rid of evil insects in your home?

2. Weezer's "Pork and Beans" video is awesome possum, y/y?

3. Who mows their lawn on the 4th of July in America? Is lawnwork patriotic?

Is Obama messing up?

I talk myself out of everything that costs money.

Next week I'll have $650 above my budget. I'm moving out in October, have pretty much everything bought and paid for (I owe 300 on a couch but I have a payment plan worked out and it will be paid by the time I move in.)

With the money, do I buy a new computer (which is sorely needed. My current computer is a pentium 2, 26 gig harddrive that has to be restarted every 27 hours because it's run out of memory) or do I save the money until I move in and see what expenses pop up that I haven't accounted for?

The computer is worth the price according to my friends and it would save me from having to buy a new tv in January when all the analog goes belly up. (I got my tv when I was 7 from my parents for christmas, 19 years ago.)

Okay, so, TQC, what do you guys think of:
1) astrology/horoscopes
2) Psychism/psychic phenomena
3) witchcraft
4) alternative healthcare
5) meditation
6) Ghosts
7) etc.

While I find most of the stuff I've ever read on it to be absolutely stupid, I also see as a valid complaint that western culture focuses to much on the objective, 'scientific' truths, and that too many people claim to be 'questioning the system' while too readily accepting it. How do you feel about that divide in western and eastern thinking? And do any of you identify as Pagan? Do you think any of the above/anything that can't be objectively proven is actually possible or that too many people allow themselves to get carried away with wishful thinking?

 Before you give me shit, I'm a practicing Jew with no particular investment in any of the above. As a narrative non fiction student, and a person who enjoys the company of eccentric people, I have an 'academic' interest in the occult/the large following that has developed around occult phenomena.

People who randomly "LOL" in the middle of sentences, even though what they're saying isn't even remotely funny (and, often, nor is it intended to be).....

What do you think is wrong with their brains?

What's your gender & your zodiac sign?
