Pizzicato Star #19 is...Juliet Cook!

what's your name?
Juliet Cook

what's your birthday?
October 17th, 1972

what's yr sign?
Libra, which doesn’t seem right because Librans are supposed to be well-balanced and diplomatic, whereas I am more like an inappropriate pendulum than a scale.

your blood type?
I don’t know. I don’t give blood if I can help it. It’s not so much the blood or needles that make me cringe; it’s the siphoning sensation.

what type of men/women do you like?
Those who are poets, artists, artisans, creative thinkers, or good storytellers. I like smart and articulate with a variegated vocabulary. I like unconventional, quirky, and eclectic. I like an offbeat sense of humor that can veer between insightful and absurd, whip-smart and wildly goofy. I like those who are passionate, even driven, but not overly serious or politically correct. A good mix of the crude and the sensitive appeals to me. I like a multi-faceted party platter with a heaping helping of emotional complexity. I like a DIY spirit and a certain level of tolerance for angst, insecurity, and neuroticism.

what type don't you like?
Those who are part of the Quiverful movement. Those who are frequently bored, often lazy, and largely unmotivated. Those who are overly conservative, overly corporate, overly invested in the status associated with money and material goods. Those who are humorless. Those who sound like they’re making a sales pitch when they converse or who otherwise traffic heavily in schmoozing, rhetoric, clichés, aphorisms, or self-help quips. Those who have no interest in art or creativity. Those who are not free thinkers. Those who are overly bound by conventions, standards parameters, false sense of propriety, or the need to keep up appearances. Those who are two-faced, lying, deceiving, duplicitous, manipulative, or game-playing. Those who are furtive about their porn consumption. Those who subscribe to the commodity model that the most valuable trait a woman has to offer is her looks and the most valuable trait a man has to offer is his money.

who are your current lovers?
Poems, myna birds, spider veins, poetic people.

what's your favorite food?
In theory, I like fancy petite dessert products. In practice, I like savory dishes including dumpling-like entities, pierogie, seafood and sushi, and chicken pot pies.

what food don't you like?
I’m not a big fan of condiments.

what's your favorite fashion?
Colorful knee socks ad thigh high socks. Vintage waitress dresses.

what fashion don't you like?
College sweatshirts. Sports jerseys. Gold chains.

what's yr hobby?
I don’t really have a hobby. My mom thinks my poetry is a hobby, but I don’t see it that way. The word hobby sounds so casual and I don’t so much like the casual. I like the intense.

what were you doing last sunday?
Editing somebody else’s vampire fiction.

when did you wake up this morning.
9:00 A.M.ish

who's your favorite designer?
I don’t really have one. I like to buy socks from Asian teens on ebay; does that count?

favorite lipstick/guys: mouth candy?
Don’t have one. Oh no, am I not a real woman? I mostly like edible-smelling lip balms.

foundation/guys: skin care product?
Don’t have one. I don’t use much foundation. I like skin care products from LUSH.

what's your favorite perfume/cologne?
Ginger-scented.

what color hair do you wish you were born with?
I’m fine with the auburn hair color I have, although lately it seems to be turning darker of its own accord.

are you a good cook?
No, I don’t take the time to practice.

what food do you cook best?
Stir-fry dishes.

what do you wear when you sleep?
This time of the year either pajamas or leopard print lounge pants and a stupid t-shirt.

what did you eat when you woke up this morning?
Nothing, but I’m still drinking coffee and might partake of a small slice of carrot cake soon.

what's your favorite word?
I have many favorite words. Right now, I am kind of into the word ‘milking machine’.

what word don't you like?
Quiverful.

what's your favorite flower?
I have many favorites. One of them is Stargazer Lilies.

favorite color?
Hot pink.

what's your favorite season?
Autumn.

where do you most want to go now?
Somewhere warm.

what's your job?
Currently unemployed, but working on freelance writing/editing and publishing Blood Pudding Press and starting a new online publication called Thirteen Myna Birds.

do you like your work?
I adore my poetic pursuits, but do not like the whole bill paying job game.

do you like your songs?
Yes.

do you like yr voice?
Yes, I sound like a hybrid of phone sex operator and manic parrot.

what is your dream of the future?
To acquire a job that pays the bills, but that is also creative and makes me feel good about myself.

what's the happiest thing about your life?
Poetic pursuits and my weird little family.

how about the saddest thing?
Persistent self-esteem issues.

what part of yourself do you like best?
The creative part of my brain.

The self-saboteur part of my brain.

My vivaciousness.

My recurrent negativity.

Poor impulse control.

when was your first love?
If we’re talking serious love, probably when I was 19.

what kind of guy/gal was (s)he?
Dysfunctional.

what type of guy/gal is yr current lover?
Bananas Foster, who is a delightful combination platter of all the traits I said I liked above and more, plus he’s tall and has luxurious dark hair and is a great interpretive dancer.

what do you expect from him or her?
Love, affection, amusement, fun, and delightfully absurd stories.

what did you dream last night?
I don’t clearly remember, but I think I might have had some sort of realistic poetry publishing oriented dream.

do you believe in dreams?
Yes.

do you believe in jinxes?
Yes.

do you believe in magic?
Yes.

do you believe in god?
No, or at least not some Judeo-Christian, organized religion version. I don’t call it god, but I think of both subconscious power and the creative force as being sort of god-like.
