Blog whore.
Joe C has started another round of "post random things about yourself," and I think I will participate because I am too hungry and lazy to finish up my last drafted post on why I dislike Picasso and whether or not that makes me stupid or just confident in my likes and dislikes. Unlike Joe C or his other friends, I am too lazy to post 100 or even 50 things, so let's see how far I actually get:
1. I saw the last post on Joe's twitter, and read "Woo!" as "wool" and got really, really excited.
2. I wake up every weekend and take a look around the house and get angry that it looks like that, since neither of us does any real cleaning during the week. Then I start throwing crap around and starting to clean three rooms at once. Then I half do some laundry before losing interest and either cooking or buying breakfast and sitting in the middle of a room where the cleaning effort has actually kind of produced a little more mess, with bleach bottles and soapy water everywhere. I call this my "angry cleaning" time.
4. I have a recurring nightmare. Only since all of my dreams are lucid, I always pause them in Saved By the Bell fashion and go back and kick some ass. Sort of like a video game.
5. Terry Pratchett is my favorite (favourite, squee!) author.
6. I have a yarn closet. It's a small closet, though. Stop judging me!
7. I have four cats and a dog. Only one does not have a human name. He is currently attempting to read what I am typing and twitching his whiskers in an endearing manner. Despite this, I fear he is actually quite stupid. Stupid, but cute!
8. I call glasses "Spectaclese" and I always buy them in the same way. I go into the vision place and try on a pair, admiring my reflection in their crappily lit mirrors. "Gosh, my face doesn't look so potato-shaped in these!" I will say, twirling my hair and sucking in my cheeks. "I look just like Gillian Anderson!" And then the people I brought with me will make faces and suggest I try something a little larger to make my face look "less round." So I will put pair 1 back, pick up pair 2 which will look EXACTLY like pair 1 and repeat. This goes on for about twenty minutes, until someone plunks something more flattering on my face, and then I will suggest that they are awfully TRENDY, while the people I brought with me will try desperately to convince me that they are the only pair in the store which make me look somewhat appealing. Repeat until purchase made.
9. I turned 19 on my last birthday. Next year I will turn 19 again! I've been 19 for awhile now.
10. I love love LOVE sausage, egg and cheese McGriddles. They will be my downfall.
11. You know who's hot? Alan Alda, that's who!
12. I can't decide whether soup or pasta is my favorite. Heck, I'll have both!
13. I am a "sour" and crave things with vinegar or lemon in them. As a general rule, I do not eat sugary foods. I have a theory that "sours" are attracted to "sweets." This is probably sort of homeopathic, or maybe it's just that I really like food and base a lot of my thinking on it.
14. When I hear someone say something bad about someone I know, I will usually stick up for that person, even if I agree and/or don't really like the person being discussed. I'm ok with criticism, but I think we need to consider all factors and motives before whining about someone to a third party.
15. I have figured out that the best way to keep the new associates at work from bringing me shit that I don't have time for is to require them to do various embarrassing theater moves, such as chorus line kicking, before handing me the file. My work load has slowed down quite a bit.
16. We've had a UPS sticker stuck to our TV since we moved in. I'm not sure why it's there, but I haven't made a move to take it down, either. It'll probably stay until next time we move. Apathy!
