Cocaine Princess here.
Yesterday was Groundhog Day. In one of the nearby cities Groundhog Day is considered a grand festival and in honor of the rodent foretelling whether we will have 6 more weeks of winter or not there is an ice hockey tournament, curling bonspiels, a snowman building competition, a pancake breakfast and then a parade led by the mayor and the town council who all dress in tuxedos with tails and top hats.
So the groundhog emerged from his hole. The verdict? He failed to see his shadow which means spring is around the corner. Normally this would be great news but no one really puts much faith in him. For a record 5 straight years in a row he's been wrong.
As my loyal and dear readers know I was tagged to list random facts about myself. I asked my sister to compile the list. Here are a few more:
FOOD: Not to be taken in a negative way but the Princess has unusual tastes in food.
Most people will put ketchup, vinegar or gravy on their fries. She will put Caesar dressing and then sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
She drizzles Tabasco sauce on her pizza and her favorite topping is pineapple.
When eating vanilla ice cream she will pour a little bit of 7UP into the bowl.
MUSIC: She loves listening to music. Her preferred choice is Euro Dance.
Her all time favorite songs/videos:
Come Undone: Duran Duran
Open Your Heart: Madonna
Honey: Mariah Carey
The Glamorous Life: Sheila E!
Let The Music Play: Shannon
Rapture (Taste So Sweet): Iio
Someday: Djs @ Work
I See Right Through To You: DJ Encore
Elements: Neo Cortex
Mas Y Mas: Robi Draco Rosa
Her love and appreciation of music comes from me. I was in high school during the eighties and the princess was still a pudgy tot. Music was available on these things called a tape cassette and you would insert them into a marvelous device called a Walkman. The princess would sit on my bed listening to my Walkman while playing with her dollies while I did my homework. Often she would listen to Bananarama's Cruel Summer and White Wedding by Billy Idol. Some of the music I introduced her to at a young age: The Police, Culture Club, Tears For Fears, a-ha, Genesis, Eurythmics, Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Level 42, Simple Minds. Anyone remember New Wave Music? Bob Geldof and Band-Aid or when British music performers/groups ruled the US Billboard Charts?
TV: She enjoys BBC Britcoms. Her 2 favorite:
Keeping Up Appearances
Absolutely Fabulous
(Saffy the voice of reason in the household but she is often ignored. Something I know all too well)
XOXOXOXO,
Cocaine Princess
