Something About Supa

My cyberpal Obi from South London. gave us this little quiz. Check out Glam, 'cause she did it too. I'm just now getting around to mine. And now's the perfect time, since I've just decided I'm not doin' shit else at work today.

So here's the deal. Read it, copy paste and answer the questions yourself, put it on your blog:-)

1. Name: "Mally Mal" aka Supa Sister aka "Soup"
(moniker annointed by somebody over at dallapenn.com)

2. Date of birth: June 14th on Planet Earth in this incarnation :)

3. Where you live: La La Land. Los Angeles, California

4. What makes you happy: writing, hearing my children laugh, soul-kissing, great hands, cosmic sex, sugar cookies, traveling, sunbathing, sunflowers, house parties, great music/books/movies

5. Currently listening/the last thing you listened to: "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime" by BECK

6. Do you read my blog? Yep

Yes I'm in love (with life), and yes I have a crush.

10. Favorite place to spend time: My bed

11. Favorite lyric: now there she goes again/the dopest Ethiopian/and now the world around me be like movin' in slow motion/whenever she happens to walk by/why does the apple of my eye/overlook and disregard my feelings/no matter how hard I try
