Memed

I got tagged by CalTechGirl . . . for a meme . . . Ack!

The rules:
1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Tell 7 random things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag.

Here goes:
1. I am not short! I am fun sized. With emphasis on the fun . . . cause that's how I roll!

2. When I pull a glass out of my cupboard - for myself only - I automatically wipe off the rim of the glass . . . with my boob (clothed of course). Cause seriously? Perfect shape for glass wiping . . . I'm just sayin!

3. I don't wear makeup - ever.

4. I don't eat eggs (typically) unless they are boiled; I don't eat tomatoes unless in a sauce, salsa, or ketchup; I don't eat peppers but I love the flavor of peppers and all things hot and spicy (except the pepper itself); I don't eat cabbage except in eggrolls or kimchi; I don't eat veal, lamb, goose, goat or oysters though I have eaten each; I don't eat onions but I love onion rings; I don't eat the internal organs of any organism (heart, brain, liver, etc. . .), except for those inside the small dried korean fishies (fully intact) that I love; I don't like food that wiggles - like Jello; I regularly snack on seaweed or wasabi flavored things but I don't like sushi or wasabi paste; I don't eat sausage links or patties but like sausage in general; I don't eat fake meat . . .even if made from tofu which I do eat. I make kick-ass pie.

5. I fight fires - though my specialty is the car fire. I am excellent with a hose (ahem) - nozzle. I have participated in and rocked battle of the barrel (hose wars) and I look stunning in turn-out gear (ok, clearly an exaggeration . . .), and I like to play with the air horn.

6. I struggle with paranoia on occasion - stop looking at me!

7. I can sit on a beach and smell the ocean and listen to the waves for hours. I close my eyes and get lost in it. The smell reminds me of childhood summers spent in Eastern Shore Maryland, of crab boils, ghost crab hunting, campfire stories, suntan oil, boys, wild ponies, Fisher's, boardwalk fries, 1st Street, kites . . . It is that sudden salty air you smell when crossing over the Bay Bridge. That blast of musty, fishy, salty, goodness. Even today, when I get close to the ocean, I hang my head out of the window, shut off the radio and drink in those sounds and smells. Even now, when leaving an ocean destination, I stop to say farewell to the ocean - "until we meet again" cause it is like leaving the arms of an old friend - an old cozy, comforting friend.

I'm not tagging anyone - instead - go and donate to Project Valour-IT we only have two days left in the fundraiser. Think of the difference you can make.

Memed

Contagion tagged me with this meme, cause he "owed me" except that I believe the last time I tagged him with a meme, he didn't do it . . . anyway . . . This meme is stupid. So there!

I worked in a video store for my junior and senior years of highschool. As a result, I watched nearly every movie in the building. Many of those movies are not on this list. Many other really good movies are not on this list either. Go figure. Who makes this shit up anyway?

Memed

Ok, I've been memed again. . . this time by Richmond!

1. My: You’ve heard the saying “I’d give my right arm for”. So, what would you give your right arm for?

I like Richmond's answer and will, therefore, steal it . . . but if I had to give my right arm for something other than peace in the middle east, it'd be for my baby. I'd give anything for him.

2. Me: What’s one word that describes how you want people to see you?

Honest

3. Meme: If you could be any blogger, which blogger would you be? and why?

Everyone has their own voice. I'd not want to be anyone but myself. Nor, could I imagine anyone wanting to be me.

There!

Christmas Meme!

I must not be entertaining enough to Blue Tige as he has created, yes, I said created, a meme which he expects me to complete!

Well, the directions were simple enough, and I'll do as asked, however, Mr. Tige didn't even answer his own questions so he'll be the first I tag!

Now, that I have completed this pointless exercise . . . what's next?

Memelicious

I just met Bloodspite and what does he do? He smacks me with a meme! He is trying to pull the wool over all your eyes. He doesn't want you all to think he's a sweetheart. So I am unsure of the directions and there is no title, so I will just answer the questions.

1: Black and White or Color; how do you prefer your movies?

I like black and whites or should I say classics. More modern movies are too formulaic for me and often boring.

2: What is the one single subject that bores you to near-death?

Celebrities. Oh, wait, do you mean a school subject? I liked them all.

3: MP3s, CDs, Tapes or Records: what is your favorite medium for prerecorded music?

Geez, I don't know how to answer this one especially since I play the radio. But I'd go with MP3s.

4: You are handed one first class trip plane ticket to anywhere in the world and ten million dollars cash. All of this is yours provided that you leave and not tell anyone where you are going ... ever. This includes family, friends, everyone. Would you take the money and ticket and run?

Nope. I couldn't live without my baby boy. The husband is expendable, but my son? No way.

5: Seriously, what do you consider the world's most pressing issue now?
Weight loss. Oh, wait, you didn't want my most pressing issue?

6: How would you rectify the world's most pressing issue?

Weight Watchers . . . oh, there I go again!

7: You are given the chance to go back and change one thing in your life; what would that be?

Law School. I would have done something that allowed me more time with my child.

8: You are given the chance to go back and change one event in world history, what would that be?

The election of Bill Clinton.

9: A night at the opera, or a night at the Grand Ole' Opry --Which do you choose?

The Opry! But only on a Brad Paisley or Dolly Parton or Alisson Krauss night. Otherwise, too crowded for me.

10: What is the one great unsolved crime of all time you'd like to solve?

Who stole my . . . Oh wait, I gave that away . . .

11: One famous author can come to dinner with you. Who would that be, and what would you serve for the meal?

Benjamin Franklin (He wrote his autobiography and the almanac). I'd serve chicken and dumplings, cause I love chicken and dumplings.

12: You discover that John Lennon was right, that there is no hell below us, and above us there is only sky -- what's the first immoral thing you might do to celebrate this fact?

Who said Heaven was "above us" and Hell was "below us" anyway? As for immoral, I'm a good girl. I don't do anything that could be considered immoral. *snicker*

Ok, I'm not passing this one on either, cause everyone I know already did it. So there *sticks tongue out*.

Seven Songs

I've been memed, again, by Richmond.

I am supposed to:

list seven songs I am into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

Ok, that sounds easy enough. I have an ecclectic mix of music I like to listen to so here goes:

A Living Prayer: Alison Krauss and Union Station - something about her voice charms me. I love that you can feel her emotion right through the song.

Good to Go: John Corbett (Ian on My Big Fat Greek Wedding) - surprisingly engaging tune. Plus, he is completely day-pass material even if a little scruffy these days.

If Six Was Nine: Jimi Hendrix - an all-time favorite of mine. I listen to it when I'm really pissed off - like today!

My Humps: The Black Eyed Peas - what can I say? I like to shake my ass.

The Hair soundtrack because I've loved it since I was a wee bebe, and because Treat Williams is also day-pass material.

Nobody Gonna Tell Me What To Do: Van Zant - cause it's .38 Special meets Lynyrd Skynyrd and because no one tells me what to do.

Folsom Prison Blues as done by the Reverand Horton Heat. Cause it makes me giggle. Also, because I love their stuff, especially "Eat Steak" and "F**ked Up Ford"

Oh, and to add some more, cause I never do anything I'm suppossed to do:

Someone to Watch Over Me: Ella Fitzgerald or I've Been Loving You- Otis Redding. It hits me at my core. I love this song. I started loving it back in 1993 when Susy Amis' character sings it in a southern blues joint in the movie Rich in Love. I love it still.

I'm not tagging anyone, I'm just gonna go listen to some Otis and think about what I might greet my hubby with tonight! *wink, wink*

Do unto others. . .

Well, I have been Memed by Contagion. It is payback for the unsportsmanlike conduct of memeing him thrice in three weeks.

Here goes:

Four Jobs I’ve had:

Ice Cream Slinger (At the local Dairy Queen from the age of 14)
Video Store Clerk
Paralegal
Lawyer

Four Movies I could watch over and over and have:

Grease
Hair
Rocky Horror Picture Show

Four Places I’d rather be.

Four people to whom to inflict this upon.

None. I am stopping this one here so I don't incur the wrath of any other bloggers.

Meme'd again

I got hit with this Meme by Contagion who didn't appreciate all the fun Meme's I put him through.

This one was created by Lee Ann so that makes it good.

Anyway, rules are to name 5 Christmas movies that move me to the spirit.

1. White Christmas. Something about watching Bing Crosby fall in love with Rosemary Clooney that just keeps me enthralled.

2. Scrooge / A Christmas Carol, any version will do. I especially like the old black and white Alastair Sim version.

3. How the Grinch Stole Christmas- the animated one. I love it. I sing the theme song all season. I have a nickname derived from that movie. What can I say? A classic.

4. A Charlie Brown Christmas-A masterpiece!

5. A Smoky Mountain Christmas. What can I say, I'm a redneck at heart!

So, I am supposed to tag some people, so I tag Richmond, TNT, and Machelle. Have at it girls! And Merry Christmas.

I Hate MEMES!

No fair, two within three days? My former blog subject Stevin has gone too far. He has spread a meme virus to me. Blech!

I'm supposed to give a list of my favorite reading material:

As I have a 2 1/2 year old son, my reading has been, how shall I put this? lite!

So right now my favorite reads are:

The Monster at the End of This Book by Grover Monster. It is a suspense-filled literary masterpiece with an unexpected twist at the end.

Goodnite Moon Everyone's favorite board book. Who can forget classic lines like ". . . goodnight cow jumping over the moon. . ."

Mickey Finds a Kitty Simply a fun read. The moral of the story is to not forget your friends . . . or some such thing.

David and Goliath We enjoy the part where David cuts off Goliath's head.

Eight Silly Monkeys Wholesome family entertainment. This one will have you falling off your bed along with each silly monkey.

Oh and not to be forgotten is Green Eggs and Ham. Quite tasty with brown sugar and black pepper.

That's it! I am officially memed out. I could be really rank and infect Contagion with this one too, but for his sake I won't. I can just see it now, his poor head would go flying off his body. Sick. I won't do it to the lad. Besides, he loves Christmas and all, this would just ruin his month. *wink, wink*.

So, I won't curse anyone today, maybe tomorrow . . .

Weird, Who Me?

My "friend" Richmond has memed me! It is of course retaliation for the dreaded alarmclock meme from some time ago. So here goes:

I am supposed to give you five weird habits that I have - don't laugh, the first is a doozy!

1. When I get a clean glass from the cupboard - for myself - I usually clean the inside lip of the glass by wiping it on my shirt. I do this using my right breast as a buffer, so to speak, because at least part of it is the perfect size to fit within the glass. TMI? This also is my way of ensuring that my breasts haven't shrunk (my glasses are wide mouth glasses).

2. Whenever there is a full moon, I greet the moon and then I do a rather Elaineesque dance beneath it. I am not entirely sure why.
