Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s No-L.
What’s the story behind your name? A friend in high school said that I should write my name No-L instead of Noelle. And for some reason it stuck.
Where do you live?I live in the “People’s Republic” of Portland Oregon, where it’s not normal if there are no protests in Pioneer Square blaming Bush for something or other.
How old are you? 26.
Tell us briefly about yourself. I have a bachelor of science degree in theatre arts from Portland State University, I’m getting married on November 4th, I love animals, I love Baja Fresh, I love Brit Pop, I am counting down the minutes until they release Fable 2, and someday, I hope to write a book about Tom Stoppard.
How long have you been reading IMAO? Since 2003 I think. I think I Googled “conservative blogs” and found it. I had checked it out everyday since. It makes my workday so much more pleasant.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? It’s hard to pick a favorite, but the ones that really tickle me are the ones that piss off Monkey Faced Liberal or someone like Laff Riot. They’re just so entertaining when they’re seething with rage!
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Whimsically, delectably, satisfying.
What’s you favorite political issue? Hmmm, hard one. Probably illegal immigration, or rather, that big hullaballoo over those omnibenevolent undocumented workers.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. I don’t. But if I did it would look something like the Friday Cat-blogging only with cockatiels.
How would you introduce the president of Iran if he were giving a speech at your college? I would say:
“Can you believe that we have such a government full of pansies that would let this douche-bag come here and speak as if he had any interest in anything other than jihad? For God’s sake people! This guy probably held Americans hostage when he was a “politically active student” in the late seventies! C’mon! Iran is the number one sponsor of terrorism! Can we skip the speech, taser the bastard and ship him to Gitmo?”
But at the college I attended, it would probably sound more like this:
“Today we introduce a true hero and role model, the democratic frontrunner for the 2008 election, a great intellectual mind, a man who rules with a just hand, a man that can talk truth to Chimpy McHalliburton, a tireless advocate for women, a just crusader against the eeeevil Joooooooooooos, I mean Zionist conspiracy,that warm ball of fluff, the most reverend, sexy as all hell, John Edwards’ first kiss, the democratically elected (if only we could say as much) president Iran (that bastion of freedom), Jedi master Mahmoud……………”
If you commented in the last post asking for participants, you’re still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far; just because you may not think you’re interesting doesn’t mean we won’t enjoy your story.
“…bachelor of science degree in theatre arts…”
Would that be stressing “the science of the theatre” or the “art of theatrical science?”
BobbyR,
You raise an interesting point. In my experience, there isn’t much science in theatre. Mostly it’s a bunch of libtards running around worshiping Bertolt Brecht trying to make Lysistrata look like Aristophanes was really a clairvoyant and making a politacal statement about the Iraq war centuries in advance. I also know a director who took Aristophanes’ play “Peace” and made it about global warming. As you can see, no science there: just emotion. No science stressed there.
Interestingly enough, Stoppard’s plays “Arcadia” and “Hapgood” deal with a lot of scientific ideas. How convinient then that I have the word “science” connected to the degree if I am to investigate Stoppard. When Stoppard isn’t dealing with science, he can be found flirting with conservatism.
(but the science part just means that I took science classes instead of foreign language, but “Bachelor of Science sounds better than it’s abbreviation, BS, which I didn’t want to put in front of “theatre arts” for obvious reasons)
I love Brit Pop
Any recommendations then? Never have listened to much Brit Pop, except Mika and I’m not sure he is British…
AR,
Mika scares me. I think his little stick legs will break at any moment.
I recommend Blur and Pulp. And Oasis if you can get over the fact that all of their songs sound the same. And Radiohead, altough I’m sure that they loathe the title “Brit Pop.” Of course they’d probably also loathe that they are being spoken of on IMAO.
Thanks No-L, after spending an entire week listening to electro this stuff is a nice break.
Congrats on the wedding! My sister’s getting married soonish too (though they really have no clue when).
I’ll need to check out those bands too. I don’t think I’ve really heard them much, but my mom has a Radiohead CD that I can steal. She also found Muse, which I’ve come to like (they fall under that category, right? They’re Brits…).
Cockatielblogging? Say, that could catch on!
Isn’t funny there are so many PNW’s here! We need to hold a coup. Course, if Kulongowski got elected, I guess they could pretty much run a talking candy bar…
Muse is nice. Travis is a good band as well. Although a bit hokey.
Oh my God. Kulongowski is the worst. Tom Potter is a twit as well.
No-L, many blessings on your wedding. May it be long and satisfying. Never hold in your feelings. Never keep secrets. Love without expectation and you’ll anlways be content.
Sorry everybody. My blog just took a major turn for the “completely diffeent”
I’m not even bitching about the dam mayonnaise.

Ironic that most of the female varities of the libbie-species are:
1)not nearly hot enough to be able to stop a war by withholding sex (the opposite might be true; if American fighting men thought all we had here were hirsute, screachy, caustic socialists, the wars would probably never end)
2) Probably putting from the rough as it is, and would savor some “alone time” with their fellow women.
omnibenevolent – that’s an excellent word … i must admit … i never saw it coming
Ronin profiles Rock … I can’t wait to see who’s next … maybe me ???
