Damn Meme

Longtime readers know how I feel about memes. However, Thanksgiving Mom gets a free pass because I think she's cool. And, she is sending me a book. Yay book! I refuse to tag anyone, however if you decide to take on this meme-leave a comment and I promise to read your meme AND leave you a fascinating comment on your blog. Make sure you tell me which category of bloggy person you fall under (read the directions at the bottom for clarification) I will not throw feces at you, metaphorically or literally when I visit your blog. Unless you appear to be in dire need of some fresh fecal matter. Then I'll take one for the time. Oh! I also deleted a few questions because it's my blog and I'm a narcissist.


Favorite person (outside family): Dude. Don't even tell me that he's not a person. He's a fucking person, he just has a short stature and body hair issues.

Favorite food: How about funnel cake? I can't eat it but OMFG good funnel cake is WAY better than mediocre sex.

Quirks about you: Hmmm...I am fairly sure that I am one big Quirk, but for the sake of brevity I hate it when dish soap builds up around the cap of the dish soap bottle.

How would the person who loves you most describe you in ten words or less? I am going to make Teddy Bear answer this in the comments.

Any regrets in life? I regret giving up my son for adoption.

Favorite Charity/Cause: I have issues with charities, which are succinctly illustrated by the handy dandy Lowest-Ranked Charities graph I uploaded for your viewing convenience. I would rather do good deeds on a smaller scale than contribute to a charity that may or may not be helping people.

Something you cannot get enough of? Thai tea snow bubbles with boba from Tapioca Express.

Worst job you have ever had? I worked at a rotisserie chicken place where the manager and an employee made fun of my not super huge rack. They would compare it to pre-teen girls that would come into the restaurant. I fucking hated it.

What job would you pay NOT to have? Anything involving sales.

Guilty Pleasure: Caffeine-free Coke. YUM.

Got any confessions? I was over H3.2 long before I left him.

If you HAD to spend $1,000 on YOURSELF, how would you spend it? At Nordstrom on clothes. Duh!

Favorite thing about your house? That it is a house, more specifically a single family home that I live in with my family. I am grateful to have it.

Least favorite thing about your house? That we will need to move to have enough room for a new family member.

One thing you are good at? I give an awesome blow job.

If you could change something about your circumstances, what? I wish I didn't have fibromyalgia.

Who would you like to meet someday?
My bloggy friends that I have not met. (I stole this one from Thanksgiving Mom) Oh, and Clint Eastwood a few decades ago. RAWR!

What makes you feel sexy? Dressing up from head to toe and having TB give me that look.

Who is your real life hero? My husband. The way that he takes care of me is amazing. I don't mean financially (although he does that, too) but he fills in all the gaps caused by my fibromyalgia plus a few more.

What is the hardest part of your job? Not being physically capable of having a full-time job means the paychecks suck ass.

When are you most relaxed? In bed with my half of the electric blanket on high, a book or my laptop and a cold drink (water, soy milk, soda) beside me.

What stresses you out? Um...stress? Shit...my bowels stress me out. The OMG I have to: take a horrible shit, fart while getting a massage in a small room, etc. Which I suppose is linked closely to the whole stupid not eating wheat issue, because if my diet is PERFECT my tummy is happier and my ass smells better. Today I realized that if I am a bad person in this life and reincarnation exists I will come back as a Pomeranian with intestinal issues. I cannot imagine having that much ass hair and being that close to the ground.

What can you not live without? Burt's Bees lip balm. I typically have three or more tubes at any given time because cracked, bloody lips are gross. Also, my Dude. I'm not going to talk about humans because like many other normal human beings I am really fond of my family. But Dude? He's the most awesome cat in the history of cats. Ask Gus, she'll back me up on this.

Do you agree or disagree with the recent article that reported that blogs are authored by narcissists? Well that is just stupid. I agree that people that write articles attempting to pigeonhole a diverse group of people are assholes.

Why do you blog? In the beginning, I had quit smoking, my Chicken was at his father's for the summer and I needed something to fill the gap. Now? Writing is therapeutic for me and I enjoy the social aspect. Since I am physically broken I don't get to do things like hiking and skiing and whatever active people do. Blogging is my hobby, my link to the world when I hurt too much to participate and my creative outlet.


Rules:
1. Answer the questions
2. Link back to whoever tagged you
3. Tag eight bloggers to do the same, 2 from each category:
a. New/newer bloggers
b. Bloggy friends
c. Bloggers you would like to get to know better
d. Bloggers you don not think will respond, but you hope will.

Ok, I did your meme. It can be found here: http://hecticmomundone.blogspot.com/2008/05/yam-yet-another-meme.html

I enjoyed reading your entries and writing my own. It turned out longer than I expected.

Thank you so much for commenting on my blog! Sucks that the whole lupus / fibro thing runs in families, huh? (I also have fibro, in addition to my lupus, so I know how much FUN it is!)

I'm so glad I found your blog - I LOVE it!! I just bookmarked it so I can come back and do the meme as soon as I get the chance.

I look forward to getting to know you better. Please keep in touch! :)

Hi Sam, Thanks for the comment. I did a lot of research on the Kindle and none on the Sony. Bah! My parents completely surprised me with it. I am their youngest child (almost 30 years old) and the first to earn a degree. I think that they were so excited they lost theor mind for a bit and gave me this very expensive gift. Anyway, I think that I would have liked the other extras that the Kindle has to offer but, one upshot is that my reader is the second version and the kindle is still beta. This way I get a piece of equipment with a lot of the kinks already worked out. I totally like that and I will start slowly saving my little cash for a 2nd gen Kindle. That is the plan anyway.

God, that was a long comment.

Hello Sam, nice to meet you!
Ooooo, southern California. We have a lovely tourism ad for California that comes on TV lots and I always feel like licking the screen! It looks so warm and oceany and you all have fabulous tans. Writing this from a wind-swept hilltop in wet wet bloody wet England where we are all pasty (I'm talking severely pallid here) white and shivering.
Can we please swop?

thanks for commenting on my blog! I really should answer the meme, so I will in the next few days. I guess I could wear the track pants around the house, other then Mr.SM and the monkey think its quite the game to rip them off...

I'm not doing the meme thing, but fuck me! I haven't been by to get the big news! Though I would have expected a personal notification...

Yay for you! I'm going to come by here every day now!

You are cracking my ass up, girl. Thanks for the laughs. You bet your butt off that I'll be back.

(I appear to be anally obsessed today)

Hi there! Thanks for coming by to leave a comment on my blog!

Another SoCal girl. Wonder how close we are to each other. I guess this is another instance of its a small world.

I agree with your ideas for when you are most relaxed. Thank God I am not the only person to have the electric blanket on high in CA. (all of my RL friends think I am crazy)

Grats on the BFP!

Hey Sam!

Thank you so much for your comments on my latest post. You made such a great point; I hope first mothers will chime in and share their experiences.

In the meantime, I'm still working on that meme! :)

i would have gotten to the commenting part of this sooner, but i had to stop and get up and get a kleenex because i had tears rolling down my cheeks i was laughing so hard at the part about the pomeranian.

how's that for a run-on sentence??

you crack me up. i love this freaking blog.

ok, back to catching up. true to form, i am reading the posts in backwards order, because i am lazy. this means that i know you are pregnant, but haven't gotten to the post where you announce it, so i feel i can't really say "congrats" quite yet.

at least, not officially.

Blogger Virginia Belle said...

oh shit! that's the bottom of the page! you already subtly announced it, didn't you? it was in the dress post, wasn't it?

d'oh! i was expecting a formal announcement post. crap. well, you can tell my reading comprehension skills need a brush-up.

ah shit. i have screwed this all up.

congratulations. i am doing the happy dance, because if this kid is half as awesome as his/her (its?) mommy and brother, it is one helluva kid. also, it's always nice to hear about cool peeps reproducing. Yay! Soon there will be more Sam-ness in the world!!!
