The year is nearly over - thank God.
So here is my monthly (and really, only) contribution to the community. The getting to know you thread where we can all check in, learn a little, laugh a little, sometimes cry a little (remember that one time?), and bond over list of questions.
If you're a lurker, a new member, an old member, a werewolf, an astronaut, or just a person who is reading this thread, take a minute to answer these questions, read other people's answers, and set my mind at ease that as of this day, you are not dead.
So, awesome...

Chicken noodle

I'm thankful our Thanksgiving is over and done with at the beginning of October.
4. What's your favorite soup?
Borscht or this soup I can't get anymore due to the restaurant that invented it being shut down, tomato bisque with cheese dumplings. i know it sounds easy to replicate, but there must have been crack cocaine in it for how often I still crave it.
5. Tell me a joke.
A man walks into a doctors office, visibly upset. "Doctor!" He says. "Please help me, I don't know what's wrong. One minute, I'm a teepee, the next, I'm a wigwam, i'm a teepee, I'm a wigwam, teepee, wigwam, teepee, wigwam, TEEPEE, WIGWAM..." The doctor interrupts him suddenly and shouts "MY GOD MAN, CALM DOWN! You're two tents!"
(That one's better if you hear it rather than read it.)

Adam West.

Probably about 2 hours.

I have the name of a Monday afternoon dive bar stripper. Yes.

Nice! I love reading these.
@Profunda - I like your joke. I'll repeat that. And yeah, you did sort of stutter, I didn't want to mention.
@JY That soup sounds good - the kickass one, not the regular one.
@Matt Attack - Your whole thing reads like a white guy stereotype. Congrats! But really, nice to hear about your dad, hoping for the best there.
@Matt Attack - Your whole thing reads like a white guy stereotype. Congrats! But really, nice to hear about your dad, hoping for the best there."
Sorry for being white? LOL- now if you'll excuse me Geeves has set out my fox hunting attire, I'm planning a jolly day of sport. After that I'm meeting Biff to crush those beneath us. Ta!
1. Are you alive? I hope so. I'd be pissed if all this is straight out of a cheesy 80s movie.
2. Any November birthdays, anniversaries, or any date you think we should know about? I'm probably going to get engaged unless anyone feels compelled to talk me out of it.
3. I know what I'm thankful for...but what do you have to be thankful for? I'm thankful to my 7th grade teacher who tought me how to type so quickly. It makes writing easier.
4. What's your favorite soup? My three day old chilli. Mmmm, boy.
5. Tell me a joke. LOOK A TALKING MUFFIN!
6. Who inspires you? The author of whatever book I'm reading at the moment. Of course, they could always inspire me to never write like they do too.
7. Thanksgiving related thing you are looking forward to - if you don't celebrate that day...just tell me something you're looking forward to this month. I don't know. I didn't plan this very well. I"m still waiting for someone talk me out of proposing. I don't know. I didn't plan this very well.
8. What is the longest you have slept at one time? 16 hours...yeah pretty sure 16 hours. I slept 12 last night.
9. Do you like your name? It'll do.
10. Really? I mean, I wouldn't use it for the name of a dynamic character in a novel, but I don't think I'd use a pen name either.
1. Are you alive? On Día de los Muertos, I am happy to report, Si!
2. Any November birthdays, anniversaries, or any date you think we should know about? Nope.

7. Thanksgiving related thing you are looking forward to - if you don't celebrate that day...just tell me something you're looking forward to this month. I don't know. I didn't plan this very well. Oh, fuck, so much! Daylight savings time, and an extra hour in bed earned for good behaviour, the long weekend for Remembrance Day, that my boss purchased a company helicopter and my travel time is about to be reduced by a third, getting at least two more chapters of my memoir started...
8. What is the longest you have slept at one time? 23 hours, post 3 day LSD binge.
9. Do you like your name? I DO! But it's "and-dray-uh", not "AND-ree-ah." AND-ree-uh actually upsets me, but I only correct people if I plan on having them scream my name or whisper it in my ear. ON-dree-uh is the worst for me. Just call me Dre or Drea, ok?
10. Really? I know, right?
Thank you, Avery!
Are you alive? Slowly but surely stepping away from the light. Who am I kidding, slowly pulling myself out of Hell.
November? 2 first time published.
Thankful for? My girls and the guy I am using for sex to get over my ex. Very, very thankful.
Soup? Chicken noodle, but not that Progresso crap that thinks it can get all fancy by adding celery.
Joke? A chicken and egg are lying in a bed. The egg is sitting up smoking a cigarette looking awfully smug. The chicken is glaring at the egg from across the bed. Finally the chicken blurts out, "At least we know the answer to That question!"
Who inspires you? Right now I am without inspiration.
Thanksgiving related thing? FOOD! Pineapple casserole, twice baked garlic cream cheese potatoes, the green bean casserole with the crispy onions on top, turkey, and last but usually eaten first, pumpkin pie!
Longest sleep? Depends if you mean metaphorically or literally. Literally, I'd say a good 24 hours.
Do you like your name? I hate my name.
Really? Really! It's Stacy, Barbie's redhead friend, Malibu Stacy. On a side note my last car was a Malibu.
1. Are you alive? Yup, still ticking.
2. Any November birthdays, anniversaries, or any date you think we should know about? My sister's birthday.
3. I know what I'm thankful for...but what do you have to be thankful for? I'm thankful for a lot of things. A roof over my head, a career, and time sucking hobby like writing that I love.

5. Tell me a joke. No.
6. Who inspires you? Everyday life, nature.
7. Thanksgiving related thing you are looking forward to - if you don't celebrate that day...just tell me something you're looking forward to this month. I don't know. I didn't plan this very well. My grandfather's stuffing. It's amazing.
8. What is the longest you have slept at one time? 12 hours.
9. Do you like your name? Nope, it blows. It's soooo common. My saving grace is that my mom spelled it "Mathew" so not only do I have to live with everyone sharing my name, I have to deal with them saying, "Hey, your name's spelled wrong."
10. Really? Yes!
Mathew"
You're one less. You're an inferior breed of Matthew.
If you're what you'd consider the "superior" breed, then I'm fine with that.
Ha! Well played beta Mat, well played. I really hope we do meet in the second round. We'll get to determine the best Matt and officially consider how it's spelled.
I'd say chances are good. Winners bracket of course. I don't think either one of us would be happy if we met in the loser's.
No the Dollar Menu bracket is no place for a Matt. The prestige and pedigree with that name demands only the best.
Who am I kidding, I am going to get my ass beat in the first round! Ha
In truth, she handed me my first whoop-ass in Thunderdome. So I'd be grateful if you got her out of my way.

4. What's your favorite soup? Motherfucking Pumpkin Bisque.
5. Tell me a joke. Your special impersonation on the blooper reel. YOU know what I mean.
6. Who inspires you? Lots of people, really. It's hard to pinpoint. If we're being honest--my husband inspires me. He's been through a hell of a lot and totally Phoenixed his way right out of it.
7. Thanksgiving related thing you are looking forward to - if you don't celebrate that day...just tell me something you're looking forward to this month. I don't know. I didn't plan this very well. Well, you know. Food. My family's alright, too.

@Renee, Matt. # 2 is taking you out lady!
My money is on Renee.
@Avery...no not satan, but I'm sure it's his handywork.
@Drea...Steak soup, like beef stew except no veggies...and chunks of steak. Or something. Yeah.
@Avery: If Matt wasn't such a dick and removed all his entries so I can gage what my odds are, then I might've actually placed a bet. Hell, I'll still bet you one month of workshop dues.
Or does the devil already pay them for you in exchange for wreaking havoc on us all?*
*Please don't ban me.
Yeah, I don't pay dues. I essentially get paid $9 a month to put up with you people.*
*I used to do it for free!!
Matt. # 2 is taking you out lady!"
I am Matt Alpha!
@Renee, I didn't say I wouldn't put up a fight.
Pineapple casserole ~ can be a dessert or a side, it's awesome like that.
1/2 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 4 eggs, 5 slices white bread, 1 20oz can of crushed pineapple, cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Cream butter and sugar and then beat in the eggs one at a time, add cinnamon to taste.
3. Cut up white bread and drain pineapple and add the mixture to a greased medium size casserole dish.
Bake until its bubbly and golden brown. Usually about an hour.
It is crazy good! Super fattening and I suggest making more than one because I haven't met a person that doesn't love it. The brown burny parts are the best. :-)
1. Are you alive? Barely. Had a bitch of a week.
2. Any November birthdays, anniversaries, or any date you think we should know about? Oh, just about everyone I know. Fucking Scorpios, I'm always surrounded by them. My Mum, my sister, every secretary I've ever had, my psychotic, stalker ex, my ex bestie/ex long term lover, two of my closest female friends, special mention to La Emme Nikita as one of the nice Scorpios!
3. I know what I'm thankful for...but what do you have to be thankful for? My health. It was shocking a year ago, and it's been pretty awesome this year. My partner, even though we've been living in and out of tiny hotels and studios and been doing each other's heads in for the past couple of weeks. My family, even though they're on the other side of the world.
4. What's your favorite soup? Lentil soup, yummmy :D
5. Tell me a joke. Oh man, I suck at telling jokes. Can I tell a bad couple I heard at a gig when the guitarist broke a string and was changing them? The lead singer got up and told cheese jokes. Here you go:
What sort of cheese is not your cheese? Nacho cheese!
What sort of cheese do you use when you need a bear? Camembert!
Told you they were bad.
6. Who inspires you? I've had a bad week so I'm not feeling particularly inspired to be honest. I'll re-visit this one later.
7. Thanksgiving related thing you are looking forward to - if you don't celebrate that day...just tell me something you're looking forward to this month. I don't know. I didn't plan this very well. Thanksgiving is a new concept to me as an Australian, and it was celebrated last month in Canada. Um, I've got Disneyland this weekend, that should be pretty cool, I've never been before.
8. What is the longest you have slept at one time? 18 hours is the last long sleep I remember. I did a juice detox last year, and had mexican as my first solid meal. Not clever, I think my system went into shock and shut down.
9. Do you like your name? Yeah. I prefer people I like calling me Jess though. If it's someone I don't like, or haven't taken an immediate shine to, I prefer Jessica.
10. Really? Yeah. I'm pretty honest!
This song sums up my current state of being and nothingness. I love this song, it has all the answers.
@Sound---it only matters IF you make it past the first round... ahem
@Matt-- I'm not worried.
@Avry-- awww. you really do like me...just a little bit!
1. Are you alive?
starting to question it; my week has been sort of upside-down. Hurricanes suck, dude.
2.
meh. Nothing to report for this month but NaNo, really. I have a boring November ahead.
3. I know what I'm thankful for...but what do you have to be thankful for?
roof, electricity, not drowning, free unpaid vacation from work. :( My job is right smack dab in the middle of the part of Manhattan that still doesn't have power yet, the Escape from New York part.
4. What's your favorite soup?
I made a pretty great chicken-bacon-potato stew last night.
5. Tell me a joke.
Two eggs, home fries, bacon and a side order of whole wheat toast walk into a bar. Bartender looks up at them and says, "Get out! We don't serve breakfast here."
6. Who inspires you?
I don't really know how to parse this question. Writers inspire me. Non-writers inspire me. Whatever.
7. Thanksgiving related thing you are looking forward to - if you don't celebrate that day...just tell me something you're looking forward to this month. I don't know. I didn't plan this very well.
no kidding.

6. Who inspires you? kids like this:
7. Thanksgiving related thing you are looking forward to - if you don't celebrate that day...just tell me something you're looking forward to this month. I don't know. I didn't plan this very well. I haven't really enjoyed this holiday much recently, so this year I'm really looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with people I love.
8. What is the longest you have slept at one time? 2007-2012
9. Do you like your name? My last name was an easy target for insults when I was younger. My first name I've grown to like. But I do feel awkward being named after Sean Connery, because it makes me think that my mom thought about him when I was conceived, and NO ONE wants to think about those things...
10. Really? no. all of these answers are lies. My name isn't even Sean.
damn, it took me an hour to post this, and in the meantime jay wolf said what i had to say for #10. Sorry Jay Wolf.
My middle name was taken from Scott Baio, but I think that should be placed in the Embarassing thread.
Ya snooze, ya lose, not-sean sean. alternately: yours was definitely the wittier version, so whatever, it's cool. sometimes it just takes longer to craft a genius retort.
I wish I had been cleverer with mine but I really lack the energy for it this week. :\ ah well.

5. Tell me a joke. A plane wreck on a farmer's field, it was Air Force One. The authorities get out there as soon as possible (about 3 hours). They found the plane and the farmer sitting on his tractor at the crash site. The chief officer asks the farmer, "Did you see any survivors when you got here?" "Yep," said the farmer, "There were 3 or 4 guys dressed in suits. I buried them over there 'neath the trees." "Were any alive when you found them?" the authority asked. The farmer answers, "Well they said they were alive...but you know how politicians lie."
6. Who inspires you? Hmmm. Good question.
7. Thanksgiving related thing you are looking forward to - if you don't celebrate that day...just tell me something you're looking forward to this month. I don't know. I didn't plan this very well. Green bean casserole.
8. What is the longest you have slept at one time? 40 hours, nearly two days.
9. Do you like your name? Yes. It is quite common but it is a good name. I like my first name, my middle name, and my last name. But, due to my name being so common, I use a pseudonym...(pseudonym is combination of my grandmothers' maiden names).
10. Really? Yes, really. When I was younger I didn't like my middle name (Dale), but then the rise of NASCAR made it a cool name...
For a second, I was really excited that Boone Spaulding's real name was Dale Gribble
1. Are you alive? Not sure. Lately people keep cutting in front of me or bumping into me. Maybe I'm a ghost. A ghost with internet access.

6. Who inspires you? This week--Robert Olen Butler. I keep rereading one of his books.
7. Thanksgiving related thing you are looking forward to - if you don't celebrate that day...just tell me something you're looking forward to this month. I don't know. I didn't plan this very well. Four days in a row away from my job.
8. What is the longest you have slept at one time? Probably ten hours or so.
9. Do you like your name? No. It's uncommon enough that I get really pissed off when I meet another Meredith and I automatically despise her.
10. Really? Yeah, it's my name dammit!! I don't want to share. Plus all Merediths are psycho or bitchy. Just watch these movies: Disclosure, The Parent Trap (remake), The Family Stone, Prometheus. Case closed.
1. Are you alive? Not any more or less than usual.
2. Any November birthdays, anniversaries, or any date you think we should know about? My name day is the 15th, and I'm accepting cash and hugs. Neil Gaiman's is the 10th.
3. I know what I'm thankful for...but what do you have to be thankful for? I'm thankful that despite the fact that I am utterly broke and have been depression's personal punching bag for the last several months, I'm pretty fucking lucky to be able to hang out with my dogs and write (or not write) all day. I'm physically healthy, I have food, and I have a small but goddamn amazing group of friends and family who keep me propped up when I start to fall over.

I make the world's best cranberry sauce, and will make gallons of it this year. I hope to do what I did last year, which is the weekend after Thanksgiving have friends over for thanksgiving food and D&D.
8. What is the longest you have slept at one time? 46 hours, jetlagged on my first trip to Europe when I was 12. I fell asleep face down on a croissant in a Zurich cafe and woke up 2 days later in my sister's flat.
9. Do you like your name? No. It's very Anglo and very boring and I've never met another Emily I liked. I go by Emma (unless you don't know me well, or I don't like you), and I work using my grandmother's family name.
10. Really? Really. I can't complain too much, though. My hubble processed a claim for a veteran once whose name was Harry P. Ecker.
@ sean_of_the_dead - I am Bill, Dale, Bobby and Cotton combined...
^ all the ladies want a Boomhauer/Hank combined :(

8. What is the longest you have slept at one time? Probably 10 hours.
9. Do you like your name? My first name i like. It's Lisa, and since i was young it made me think Mona Lisa and I had something cool in common, which isn't a bad thing for a child to think. I try to make that smile happen sometime, but i dont' think it works too well.
10. Really? yes, its dumb i know.
1. Are you alive? It would seem so, although I've got a bit of a cold.
2. Any November birthdays, anniversaries, or any date you think we should know about? My grandmother's is November 28th
3. I know what I'm thankful for...but what do you have to be thankful for? I'm thankful...that the good this year actually managed to outweigh the bad. Which, if you know much about the year I've had, is pretty spectacular.
