Friday Five Time!
Happy 420 everyone. ;)



1. Do you suffer from Spring Fever?

Not really. I mean, I like Spring as a season well enough, but I don't get more excited about it than any other season.

2. Have you ever been twitterpated (infatuated or obsessed. In a state of nervous excitement)?

Yes. Generally it involves seeing old friends at Harry Potter conventions or possibly getting my hands on something I've been waiting for for a long time (like DH). *g*

3. What does Spring taste like to you?

I can't say Spring has any sort of taste to me. Maybe...fresh?

4. When was the last time you visited an ice cream truck?

Probably decades ago. :P

5. Do you know what song your ice cream truck plays?

*cringes* Yes. Alas, recently I learned all about its racist roots. :((

Was the song also 'Turkey in the Straw'? Its history is not a good one.

[alisanne]

Yes, I think that's one of its titles.
*sigh*
Racism seems to have pervaded everything. :(

[spikesgirl58]

It seemingly has and that makes me so sad. When are people going to get that we are all the same?

[alisanne]

Honestly? I think it will take extra terrestrials landing here for people to decide 'better the human than the alien' and all band together.
Sad, but that's how we are. :(

[spikesgirl58]

No, I think you are probably right. Sort of an "Independence Day" moment.

[alisanne]

*nods*
Exactly.

Summer is my real favorite season. I like my warms. :)

Yeesh, I did not know that about the song (I always just knew it as 'Turkey in the Straw' with the original lyrics - I googled after reading your answer). The ice cream trucks in the neighborhoods where I lived played the standard Mr. Softee jingle, not that one.

[alisanne]

Yeah, it's horrifying when you actually dig into it a bit. :((

I am always hot, so I like AC in the summer, LOL.
