I hate this guy. I mean he annoys me to a point I thought no-one would ever be able to annoy, but nevertheless...

* What is your favorite word?
My favorite word is.... heart? I don't know, who actively has a favourite word? Feel. No idea. Lamp. I'm not very good at this.
* What is your least favorite word?
Probably penis. It does our anatomy no favours whatsoever. It's a very tinny sort of word. As is ointment and purgatory.
* What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
What turns me on? What kind of interviewer asks that to actors? Jesus. Erm... humor. Good food. Mood lighting... mud. Rain. Storms. Danger of tornados... running... soft hair, the smell of showers... water in general.
* What turns you off creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Bigoted people, arguments - obviously, sulking, slamming doors, silences, beige suits...
* What sound or noise do you love?
My daughter's laugh. It's so rare that she laughs that it's really nice when I hear it.
* What sound or noise do you hate?
That noise your car makes when it just won't start. You know you're going to have a shit day as soon as you hear that "whirrrrr.... sputterwhirrr..."
* What is your favorite curse word?
Favorite curse is fuck. So many uses, so many ways of saying it.
* What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Professional man-slut. Ha! No. I'd really like to try being a musician. I can sing. A bit. And I play a tiny bit of guitar. I just want to be in a cool sort of pop video you know? Looking all stylish and angsty while I mime to my own song with girls around me.
* What profession would you not like to do?
Doctor or surgeon. I admire them I really do. I'd be violently sick if I had to feel someone's insides, and I'd be too emotionally attached to the patients.
* If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Welcome Jonah. Have some chicken.

Note my avoiding the question.

I've been approached to do a promotional video for this roaming travel company or something, I have no idea what they really truly do. I should probably research them more before I accept, but the notion I might be able to go back to New York whilst visiting their offices was too good to pass up. Apparently they have "prestigous networks in New York, Chicago, Michigan, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver and San Diego." Looks like I better buy me a big suitcase.

Seeing as everyone was posting pictures I thought I'd do the same. I have maaany of me, but I'm only going to put a few on here.

Storm Chasing
Candid.. how cool.

The "fathers". Everyone here were the Dads of the chasing team, and as Jennifer was pregnant with Kadie I was shoved over to join.

We have equipment! See!

The team. I took this.

Yes, this is me running for my life.

OTHER STUFF

Kadie and Archer. Kadie was three, Archer was only a few months old.

The family. L-R my Dad, My sister, Archer, my sister's husband, Kadie and my Mom. This was taken in... 2000 I believe. Jennifer had hurt her leg so didn't come with us.

My precious Kadie. This was last week, actually. She looks very much like her Mom here.

Me and some of my friends at a College reunion in 2001. This was during my divorce.

Me and Grace (see first love entry)

My best friend from College, Damien. I look so drunk here. Stresses and strains!

I am also fully aware I look like Gomez Addams in those pictures. Fuck off.

The most recent pic of me AT ALL - with work friends!

	I appreciate all of the above. Yeah I am. Next week or something like that... depending if they allow me to take the job or not. I hope so. I'd be there for about a day and a night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't have to come and see you if you don't want. Truth be told I think I'll be too busy gaging this guy's business to have a moment spare for lunch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	camilla_sorren 2008-09-03 05:58 pm UTC (link)
	I never said I wouldn't have lunch or dinner with you, Jonah, but if you're too busy, I totally understand. It's business. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	broncoblake 2008-09-03 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	Good, cause I was totally lying about the too busy part. It'd take an hour tops to suss out what he wanted from there. I just don't wanna make you uncomfortable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nice. I'll probably arrive early morning, stay the night then head whereve he wants me next. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Try to stay downtown. It's easy to find a restaurant that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I really enjoyed your pictures. These storm cells are gorgeous. Your daughter is very pretty too and I'm highly amused at two things in your questions and answers prompt: The Penis and the Man whore. Can I be your pimp? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	broncoblake 2008-09-04 05:23 am UTC (link)
	Thanks! I'm glad you liked them. Oh baby yes you can! So long as you don't hit me with your pimp stick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	addisonchaser 2008-09-04 08:35 am UTC (link)
	Nah, I just want a stick so I can presume I have one, full with diamonds and made of gold. Oh, and a fake fur coat, I musta have one of those. However, I won't be responsible if any of your clients wants to hit you with my stick. Hahahahah that sounds wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	broncoblake 2008-09-04 08:40 am UTC (link)
	Not high maintenance then, gold and diamond boy. Material Girl springs to mind. If they wish to hit me with your stick they'll have to catch me first. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Your daughter is lovely. And OH MY GOD, YOU'RE A STORMCHASER? That's SO COOL! (Yeah, I'm ten years old right now. Forgive me.) That must be such a rush. That is, when you do find tornados. I love it when it storms. I don't depend on electricity as much as most of my neighbors, so I don't mind the hurricanes. I kind of like sitting on the porch and watching the grey ocean and... I don't know. I'm sorry, this was completely unrelated to anything.

I was a storm chaser, haha. As it says on my bucket list I really do want to chase a few more storms before my time comes. I'm like you - it stemmed from my love of storms and rain to a fascination with nature and wanting to understand more about it. I'm really happy just sitting listening to rain, hearing the thunder, though I do almost always want to step outside when it's storming. Even at 3am.

	Storm chasing is something I've wanted to do since... since seeing Twister. But as I've never left the East Coast, and I'd probably just be visiting out west, I doubt I'd actually get to chase anything. Still, that's a pretty cool profession, and those pictures are amazing. Man-whore? Should we call you Jonah Bigelow, Male Gigolo? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	broncoblake 2008-09-09 06:28 am UTC (link)
	Hey if I ever do it again you're welcome to come along. Just prepare yourself for an unpredictable season and you'll be set!... almost. I can't be held responsible for your screaming like a girl. Or mine for that matte.r Oh hell yeah. Best Manslut in town! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh cool. I'm holding you to that. I'll come along to write the novel about your exploits as a storm chaser. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If you come to New York, we really must hang out, you know. Your children are so adorable! Kadie's absolutely gorgeous, and I love the storm chasing pictures. If you weren't worthy of the Bonkable Baron title, you sure as hell are now! (Reply to this) (Thread)
