This month we interviewed SldMySoul for our player
profile. She really is a hoot! Read on!!
Doesn't SldMySoul have a beautiful family?
where in this world do you live?
Winston-Salem NC but I grew up in North
Dakota
oooooooo, ND is cold
country
yes, north
dakota is cold and i don't miss the weather one bit
a lot of snow?
many feet
and several blizzards every winter
and you wonder why people
want to live in places like that
lol - the
funny thing is my dad grew up in the desert of California and moved
there of his own free will!! insane
what possessed him to do
that? wanted to experience the worst of seasons?
his theory
was that if it was hot, you can only take off so many clothes until
you are naked, but if it is cold, you can always put on more
layers
well, he does have a point
:)
yes, but I
still didn't want to stay there
what do you do up in
NC?
my job is
as an administrative assistant for a community college, but they've
expanded my job now to include a little data systems
so you're becoming a
computer geek, huh?
lol - I
haven't started using a pocket protector yet
how long have you worked
at the community college?
ever since
i moved here, about 3 years. my husband teaches there
where did you live before
Winston-Salem?
grand
forks, nd
nice change :)
yes, i
enjoy it. no jacket in the middle of january sometimes,
amazing!
yeah, I know what you
mean. being 'southerners' we do get to enjoy shorts in the dead of
winter
some of
the southern stuff took a little getting used to like cole slaw on
everything
have you ever eaten grits
before moving to NC?
nope - and
i don't get it
roflmao! what don't you
get?
it doesn't
taste like anything. basically it's just putting texture into your
butter and sugar
that's why you put a ton
of butter on it and cheese mmmmm
exactly -
it's just texture
reminds me of
tofu----being so bland
yeah, but
tofu has some redeeming qualities, it's good for you and such. what
does grits have?
grits are too good for
you
it's just
corn
and corn is full of
vitamins. this is the great grit debate
ok, well
in ND we had Malt-O-Meal, which is the same thing except based on
wheat (i think)
and I
liked that
how many children to you
have?
i have two
children, Amanda is 9 and Caleb is 7
do they like NC like you
do?
Amanda
misses the cold and snow, but she likes it here now that she is in
basketball and girl scouts and we all miss my family
awwwwww
wanna know
how I ended up here? it's a fun story
sure!!
I posted
to a newsgroup about my favorite movie of all time, "Joe Versus the
Volcano" and this guy answered and we started corresponding. Well,
emails turned to phone calls and phone calls turned to visits and we
got married!
lol that's
cute!!!
It was so
fun
and you're living happily
ever after
uh
huh
lol love that 'uh
huh'
he's a lot
older than me, but our families liked each other, so we're going
great
um, how much
older?
i'm 32 and
he's 61
um, that is a lot
older
uh huh....
:)
but it really doesn't
matter, does it? as long as you are happy....that is all that
matters
right
what brought you to
#madlib?
I came
across #chaos somehow, I don't remember how, and at the end of the
game it mentioned #madlib so I tried it out and like almost everyone new I started out with the
stupidest libs - bathroom humor type stuff. but then I caught on and
I love it!
so no one referred you to
the game? that's odd. usually it's by word of mouth
nope, just
happened upon it
one of the rare
breed
lucky i
guess
wanna know
some other rare things about me?
yup, was just getting to
it
oh, oops
lol jumping the gun
your hobbies, interests,
etc. :)
that's okay
go
ahead
lol you go ahead
:)
well, what
I was thinking of was that i'm the youngest of ten kids, and that I
had a kidney transplant in 1987
you did?
yep
and you were okay to have
kids?
yes
that's
spectacular!
transplants weren't supposed to have kids years ago
but now it's ok if it's working right
you have to take meds
every day?
yes
that is
terrific!!
i think
so. 12 years is a long time for a kidney to last. i've been very
fortunate
what about your kids?
it's not hereditary, is it?
no, it was
caused by an infection, strep
oh dear. well, like you
said, you're lucky
so if you
know anyone who gets strep make them take ALL their
antibiotics
DO YOU
HEAR THAT READERS?????
I love
getting the message out! :) Oh, and sign your donor cards!
DO YOU
HEAR THAT READERS?????
so you are the youngest of
10 kids. seems like most that I interview are the youngest of really
big families
that's
what makes us weird i suppose
not really, just good
#madlib players
catholic,
you know.... yikes
oh, no birth
control
my mom was
34 by the time she had us all. i can't even handle my two!
she must have started when
she was 12
lol
19
I was close
:Þ
close
enough :)
I can't imagine having
that many children. two would be plenty
it was
wild
so your oldest sibling is
like in his/her late 40s?
she was 14
when i was born so that would make her....46. 7 brothers and 2
sisters
how many nieces and
nephews do you have
you know
what, i don't even know. let me think a second
don't count on your
fingers
i don't
have enough fingers
or your toes
25
wow!!! and do you know all
their names and birthdates?
_kitten_ is pushing it
now
i don't
even know my brothers and sisters birthdates! i have it all written down somewhere
Soul, that is why we have
calendars so we can remember those important dates
i know one
of my nephews shares my birthday, but I can't remember which
one
does that
make me an awful person? lol
well, no, not in my
book
gee,
thanks :) *gush*
_kitten_
snickers
how long have you been
playing the lib?
i'm not
really sure. i think almost 2 years, just shortly after it got
started
basically, since it
started
jinx
you owe me
a can of pop (that's what we used to say with a jinx)
can you remember the best
answer you have ever given in there?
I like the
one about giving the dog peanut butter, but I don't think it was very
popular with the animal lovers. hehehe
hmmm, i don't usually give
my dog peanut butter, even tho it is funny to watch her eat
it
my apologies to
samoyed
My
favorite, though, is about having your portrait done by picasso to
talk out of both sides of your mouth. it is funny i think
_kitten_ is trying to get
that one
the peanut
butter/dog thing i mean. JAC put it in the hall of fame last month.
I'm probably getting the wording wrong but it is my personal
favorite
i'll check it out on the
madlib page
have you met anyone from
the channel in r/l?
no, but
JAC doesn't live far from me, so I'm expecting I'll show up at her
door someday. Bake a cake, JAC!
what kind of cake so
she'll be prepared?
well, like
the old commercial goes....If I knew you were coming I'd've baked a
bundt. :)
JAC? you reading this?
get the ingredients ready cuz Soul is on her way to see
you!
might be
better if you make two. I'll eat a lot! :)
oh, Soul, you might need a
southern drawl decipher kit since JAC talks strange
does she?
she twangs?
uh huh. i
know. yes, she does
you've met
her?
haven't you heard her
wavs
nope
no, haven't met her in
r/l, but have spoken with her on the phone
you want one?
sure
let me find one. let me
find another one where she talks longer
the accent.wav is
hilarious!
let me
play that first wav
lol she
DOES sound southern!
just wait until you hear
the accent one
that is what she REALLY
sounds like
it's at 39
percent
my computer is slow,
sorry
mine is
too 386
386? i have a
486
lol -
your's is bigger than mine...
not by much,
hon
i'm glad
we're not in a locker room
lol that does sound
dirty
it
does
while
we're waiting...any more questions?
i always have questions
:)
fire
away
had to scroll up to see
where we left off
I just love getting
sidetracked, don't you?
go listen to this other
wav, that is the REAL JAC
oh, it's
ready, ok
LOL
i did a rebuttal wav to
that. geez, i can't remember which one it was. hold on. it was
funny
where were we?
what was it like when you
won your first game of #madlib?
total
adrenaline rush. Isn't that silly?? I love to win!
my first thought was 'I'm
really NOT that funny guys"
yeah,
sometimes I'm surprised by my libs that I think are so stupid and
they get votes
what makes you such a good
player?
oh, well -
i haven't been very good lately
but you know that that is
the key to the game...lameness
the trick
to a good lib, though, is to think of something that fits the lib but
is a little bent. that's what I think anyway
then we all should be
winning at that game since we all are 'bent'
lol - and
we all do win sometime or another
do you have any words of
wisdom to pass on?
words of
wisdom - any answer that pops in your head with the word "toilet" in
it usually isn't very good ;)
lol no 'toilet'
humor?
nope -
leave it alone but...septic tank seems to get some votes
remember that
folks.....toilets are a no no in answers
so, it's a
fine line we're walking on here
septic tank, yes...toilets
no
right. and
if all else fails, say something about a turnip
fine line your leaving
Lucille
or corn
but the
sheep jokes seem to have fallen out of favor
yes, they
have
you just reminded me of
something
uh oh, what's
that?
my very
first lib that got votes was a corn lib, it made no sense but I won
the round
see? corn is a good
answer
yes, I
think corn is a perrenial favorite
lol any last
words?
oh, your
wav is done
let me
hear and then i'll give my last words
SldMySoul listens to the wav
lol
do you
really like chitterlings?
no! the sound of it makes
me want to puke
okay, your last
words?
nope,
gotta run. thanks for the interview
LOL no you don't! last
words to this INTERVIEW
what
about madlib, your life,
your friends, the people in the channel...anything :)
ummm,
remember to wear clean underwear every day. how's that?
rofl!!!
and it's
under 10 words too
Special thanks to
SldMySoul for taking time out of her busy life of being a mother and
wife and not having to deal with snow blizzards any more.
