creatrixx interviews me

[mik3cap]

1) Mikey, Dan and I respect your taste in food and it is this reason that we must make you justify why you claimed that Wonder Bar Pizza has the best Italian style pizza in worcester. Ick.

Honestly, it's a matter of Wonder Bar being the least bad. It's not great by any stretch of the imagination... and you know what I'm talking about because we both grew up in the same part of Connecticut and we know what good pizza really is.

I know Wonder Bar pizza is greasy, and sometimes it's a little too burnt... but it reminds me of bad pizza from home! No other pizza place around here makes pizza that reminds me of pizza from home. When Wonder Bar pizza isn't overdone it can be really tasty - that style of Italian crust is so much better than all of the other nasty places that do Greek crusts, nobody else makes it that way around here.

I'm going to be doing pizza reviews at some point, like I do with my restaurant reviews. I just need to think about the format some and then start reviewing places...

I made really good pizza with Brittany and Shaughn on Sunday at his place: prosciutto and asiago and garlic pizza and broccoli and feta and garlic. They were delectable.

2) What's the weirdest experiance you've had living with Tom?

I've lived with Tom the longest out of any of my roommates, and this is currently the second stretch with him. The weirdest experience for the entire time was actually during the first stretch - you may have heard the "shaking house" story before... for those who haven't:

One evening, while a bunch of friends were over and hanging out at our place on Dover Street, the house literally began to sway. We were all on the third floor, and we all felt it - I truly thought it was an earthquake. I went downstairs and realized that the epicenter of the disturbance was actually Tom's bedroom... the swaying stopped, and I then heard a loud buzzing/humming noise come from the bedchamber...

Now, the weirdest experience I've had with Tom since we moved in together again in January? It's been pretty darn normal actually; he goes out a lot so I don't get to see him too often. The weirdest stuff has been little things - like we've started to finish each other's sentences and we can look at each other and tell what the other person is thinking. We're establishing this weird telepathological bond or something.

3) Will you come with me to Manray for some fun and dancing some friday?

Yes I will, definitely before the place goes away. I have to get some good club clothes first though.

4) What is one thing that would make your life more complete/satisfying?

This is a really hard question. I don't know if I can really answer it well because I'm not exactly sure what I want to "get" that would give me more completeness and satisfaction.

Five years ago I really thought I had what I wanted - I was engaged, I was working for a cool Internet startup, and I owned a house. All of that fell apart... the company folded, my fiancee and I grew apart and broke up, and I was living so far away from all of my friends that I was completely and utterly alone and miserable. I stopped being happy because I wasn't doing any of the things that made me happy; when I finally figured this out, I went back to being the way I was and now I feel like I am the most complete and satisfied I've ever been in my entire life. It took me about two years to get there, but I'm there.

The answer I would give if I weren't thinking about it is that I'd sure like to have an SO again because I really miss being intimate (on all levels). The times where I find myself the least happy are the times when I'm lonely and wishing for romantic companionship.

But now I'm really second guessing that because I was pretty much there before, and it didn't work out so good. I've really got to figure out if that's where I want to be again, and how I'm going to get there. It's entirely possible that I just made some poor choices and that if I make a go at it again things will be ducky...

I guess the answer is that I'm not really *seeking* the things that give me completeness and satisfaction anymore. I'm just letting good things happen to me. That's what I learned these last five years, that I just need to let myself be happy.

5) What's your favorite quality about yourself?

I like being friendly. People have told me that they recognize this energy/aura of kindness and generosity that I have that lets them feel open and all around good when I'm with them. I really like having that effect on people.

On the topic of pizza...

1) Where is Wonder Bar?

2) What do you think of Blue Jeans Pizza? Having spent a lot of time in Italy, I can say that I truly love Italian (specifically Northern) style pizza. Their crust is the closest approximation I've come across--then again, I've mostly only experienced the Highland Street monstrosities.

1) It's on the Union Station end of Shrewsbury Street, just after the 111 Chop House. I'd be happy to take you there some night soon if you're back in the area yet. It's also pot luck night at my apartment tonight, if you'd like to come to that...

2) I can't recall the last time I had Blue Jeans Pizza - it could very well have been several years ago. I intend to very methodically pursue the pizza evaluation process when I start doing so, so I'll no doubt get to them eventually.

New Haven, CT is the pizza capital of the world; I grew up there and I'm a total pizza snob. :)

I'd love to go to potluck, but Tuesday nights are the worst for me. Band practice on alternating weeks, plus Boston Postmortem once a month... that leaves maybe 1 Tuesday a month. However, things might change when school starts. I'll let you know.

Sounds like you've gone Taoist from question 4. And I will take you out to get clubbing clothes. Though I don't know what you like or where to get men's clubbing clothes any bigger than neuromancerzss sized. Maybe hubba hubba in cambridge. I want to get a new pair of shiny pants any way, mine died.

Your shiny pants... died?
Did you eat them?

MANRAY! *drools and pants* I haven't been there in like 2 months and I'm going through serious withdrawal. Though I prefer to go on Wednesdays.

I love that place soooo much.
