Because all the old ones are gone

Published by Ree at 9:26 am under Meme

I don’t think there are any memes left on this site. Back in November-ish, (if you haven’t noticed), I removed everything. It was a personal decision – one that I only slightly regret – but all of my memes are gone, too. So, like, I’m sure you know nothing about me, right?

Annnywayyyyy, when Kerri over at Six Until Me posted this one, I decided I’d grab it.

Because stealing memes is one of the things I do.

40 Things

  1. Do you like bleu cheese?
    No. Blech. Gorgonzola, yes. Bleu? Uh-uh.
  2. Have you ever smoked?
    Yes. Still do, from time to time. Shush. I know. No, really. SHUSH.
  3. Do you own a gun?
    A glue gun? Yes. Although I’m scared of it so I rarely use it.
  4. Favorite type of food?
    Middle eastern. Wait. No, Mexican. Wait. Fuck. Sushi. Damn. No, wait. Italian. Sigh. Food. Yea, I like food.
  5. Favorite type of music?
    Guitar blues. Think Eric Clapton. Chris Duarte. Mick Taylor. Muddy Waters. I’m also a HUGE Liz Phair fan. Go figure.
  6. What do you think of hot dogs?
    As long as they have mustard and relish (hold the ketchup and other Chicago-style crap), then I think they’re the perfect accompaniment to a summer baseball game.
  7. Favorite Christmas movie?
    A Christmas Carol. This one. No other will do.
  8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
    I hate tomato juice, so Bloody Marys are not on the list. Do I have to go to work? Coffee. No? I’ll take a mimosa, please.
  9. Can you do push ups?
    Yep. Real ones, even.
  10. What’s your favorite piece of jewelry?
    My wedding rings (Hand-me-downs from Mom and Gramma). Then the rings I bought for myself – one from India (garnet) and one from Amsterdam (moonstone, pearl and amethyst).
  11. Favorite hobby?
    Seriously? ONE? ReadingKnittingCrochetingWritingPhotography. Snort.
  12. Do you have A. D. D.?
    No, but I have a D.A.D.
  13. Do you wear glasses/contacts?
    Several pair. Not all at once, though.
  14. Middle name?
    Jean. Same as my Mom’s.
  15. Name three thoughts at this exact moment:
    – Good to have Shortman home for the weekend.
    – Wow, we just signed the contract to plant the For Sale sign in the front yard.
    – My drink needs to be refilled.
  16. Name three drinks you regularly drink:
    Water, coffee and tea. Yes. I drink those way more than vodka/limeade OR wine. I just don’t tell you all about it. Snirk.
  17. Current worry?
    Puh-leeze don’t let there be any holdups on our condo closing.
  18. Current hate right now?
    My white pasty legs. Shorts weather is right around the corner!

  26. Can you whistle?
    Kinda. Poorly.
  27. Where are you now?
    Sitting on my couch listening to Shortman and Mr. Hot watch Wrestlemania. Yes, I know. It’s been a tradition in this house for the last 14 years.
  28. Would you be a pirate?
    Do I get to have a parrot? Hell, yeah.
  29. What songs do you sing in the shower?
    I don’t sing in the shower – I get soap in my mouth.

    Emma.
  31. Favorite boy’s name?
    Michael.
  32. What is in your pocket right now?
    Lint.
  33. Last thing that made you laugh?
    Shortman – talking about the time that Brett Hart high-fived him when we went to see wrestling – live and in person. He was 6. (Shortman, not Brett Hart.)
  34. What vehicle do you drive?
    A black Dodge Avenger. On the really rare occasions that I drive anymore.
  35. Worst injury you’ve ever had?
    That time I got a soccer cleat shoved into my shin. Then, five minutes later, the SAME PLAYER kicked me in the same spot. And yes, I was wearing shinguards.
  36. Do you love where you live?
    Now, yes. In a few weeks? Yes. I love anywhere my family is.
  37. How many TVs do you have in your house?

    Seven. Four are functional.

    High School math teacher. (Gawd, please don’t let me lose my job.)
  40. If you were granted three wishes, what would they be??
    To sell this house soon so Mr. Hot can move to Chicago. For Shortman to do well in school. Whiter teeth.

—- And world peace. Of course, I would wish for world peace. —-

    Our basement is where non-functioning computers go to die. Sort of an IT elephant graveyard!

    I LOVE this meme. Weird questions–but they really cut to the heart of the matter, don’t they.
    World peace, of course.

    You are a diverse and fascinating woman. Now, let me go get my college psychology notebook and figure out what Freud would say about you…
    OK, got it! Turns out I need just a TAD more info:
    Which shoulder would you wear your parrot on?
    And do you take sweetener in your coffee?
    I will have a full assessment ready soon! Be afraid. BE VERY AFRAID! ;-)

    I’m stealing this ;)
    And I totally ‘get’ choosing something else over hair… if my hair grew back I would constantly be worrying about it falling out again. Constantly. Every moment of every day.
