"7 Random/Weird Things About Me" Is The Meme That Never Ends
Sunday, April 13, 2008
I was just tagged for a meme this evening, which reminded me that I was tagged for another meme about one month ago, so Paige Jennifer is just going to have to be patient while I do this other meme first.Candid Yammering's Day Dreamer tagged me for a meme back in mid-March. It is another variation of what seems to be everybody's favourite meme, 7 Random/Weird Things About Me.
May I just say glory be to the meme during this time of The Great Cold Virus What Whoops The Ass and Renders One Vacuous. Until right now, I managed a revolving series of three thoughts today. The first was I'm hungry. The second was I'm thirsty. The third occurred every time my cat, Onion, rolled over to show me his stomach: I haz belly. Let me show you it.
Here goes.
7 Random/Weird Things About Me:
- If I let my chin whiskers grow out, I would grow two small locks on either side of my chin and look like a wizened sage.
- I often think of putting my hand in my stapler at work. I do not do it, because I gave in to that urge once in grade seven, and it hurt.
- Today, I have had the great fortune of sprouting a deep, painful zit on my right earlobe. Now I know that all things are possible.
- I know when I am coming down with the flu when I can smell the distinct scent of a swimming pool. Somehow, my brain has come to connect the flu virus with chlorine.
- I hate musicals. I always sit through the singing and dancing wishing that they would all just shut up already and get on with the story.
- I once made a giant chicken out of old hockey sticks, wire mesh, and papier mâché for no reason. It was terribly misshapen. It existed for less than a week before I dismantled it.
- When I was twenty-five, I became a bit obsessive about showering a lot, so I held experiments in multi-tasking while in the shower. One day, when I was drinking coffee, smoking a cigarette, and reading a magazine through the clear shower curtain, it hit me that I might have a problem. Had my roommate not given me shit for smoking in the bathroom, who knows how far I might have taken it.
- Every time I try to remember a person's name lately, the name Warren pops into my head, as though anybody and everybody could be named Warren. I do not think I even know a Warren.
I hereby charge the following people to do or not do this meme as they see fit:
Daisybones
Rachel Elizabeth from Confession Of A Jersey Girl...
Moogie from Moogie's World
Akakarma from myveryownkarma
Catnip from Catnip And Coffee
Dory from Can't Remember Diddly!
B.E.C.K. from An Imperfect Life

Number 2 on your list made me think of lightly stapling my thumb in 3rd grade just so I could go to the nurse's office and get out of a math quiz. I barely broke the skin with one of the staple prongs, but my teacher let me go to the nurse anyway.

You know, while you may have had a problem with your showering obsession, at least you didn't have a garbage disposal installed.
That's when you know you've truly gone off the deep end.
"I hate musicals. I always sit through the singing and dancing wishing that they would all just shut up already and get on with the story."
The funniest example I can think of is the musical version of "The Little Prince" from the 1970's, which starred Gene Wilder as the fox. That's one of my favorite books, but it's probably one of the most hilariously crappy musicals ever made. I WOULD say that I recommend seeing it, just so you could say that you had, but I'm sure your time is much too valuable to waste on something so hilariously crappy. But if you have absolutely nothing else to do, I guess you should maybe think about the possibility of considering watching it.
That's exactly what I think during the songs in musicals. Sometimes I imagine the songs at a faster speed to try and get them over with.
Mostly, I try to stay away from musicals.
I love the old musicals but many of the new ones oddly enough have too much story so, you're right- each of them interferes with the other and is frustrating. What about the Sound of Music or My Fair Lady, do they annoy too? Thanks for the tag and I'll have to get to it later!
Akakarma, I actually don't mind "The Sound of Music", but I think that is due more to its having been a staple on the television of my childhood that to anything else. It's got nostalgia going for it.
This really is the meme that never ends, I've done it a few times, but I actually enjoy it.
And #1 and #4 could be on a list of my own. What is it with the swimming pool smell?
I hate to break it to you, but in a musical the only purpose of the story/plot is to get you to the next song/dance.
Also, my middle name is Warren and it was in honor of an old friend of my parents. However, I do not know if I ever met him or, for that matter, anyone else with Warren as a first name.
I too hate Musicals(though opera's are pretty cool). I wile away the time by watching the Orchestra pit instead. I realized I hated musicals during a london production of guys and dolls.
I've often been tempting to grow out my chin whiskers. I wonder how long they'll get, if I could braid them into a dred or something. Aging is a bitch. post a comment ~ Subscribe to Post Comments [Atom] ~ main page
