July 15th, 2008The ABCs of MeMe
Accent: Standard Midwestern with a hint of Southern twang.
Breakfast or no breakfast: That depends on whether Dan eats all of my Special K with Red Berries.
Chore I don’t care for: Insert chore here: __________.
Dog or Cat: Yes.
Essential Electronics: Yes.
Favorite Cologne: Chanel No. 19.
Gold or Silver: Platinum.
Handbag I carry most often: I don’t carry a handbag. I’ve tried it, I don’t like it.
Insomnia: Guaranteed!
Job Title: Feeder.
Kids: Five cats, one dog, an African grey parrot and a leopard gecko.
Living Arrangements: Let’s not go there.
Most Admirable Trait: Um… I’m nice to people I like. I’m loyal. I once rescued a woman, her three kids and their dog from drowning. Hell, I don’t know, I’m a cranky, snarky misanthrope who hasn’t done much. I have a short attention span and no patience to complete things. Wait a minute, I got it! I’m honest. Some who have met me might interpret that as tactless, but still. It works for me. Besides, that guy really did need to buy a stick of deodorant.
Naughtiest Childhood Behavior: Um… I got in trouble in second grade for drawing naked women. The other stuff? No one has found out so far, and I’d like to keep it that way.
Overnight hospital stays: Twice when I was eighteen. First one kidney took a dive, then the other.
Phobias: Water, car crashes, centi- or millipedes.
Quote: Please refer to the handy quote thingy at the top of the first sidebar.
Reason to smile: When Solomon (the bird) makes burping noises.
Siblings: One brutha, one sistah.
Time I wake up: Around noon. If I go to sleep at all, that is.
Unusual Talent or Skill: It’s hard to describe, but I can turn my tongue over sideways.
Vegetable I Refuse to Eat: Not applicable.
Worst Habit: I pick and chew at my cuticles.
X-rays: I’ve had a few. Never for a broken bone, though.
Yummy Stuff: Avocados, raspberries, a rare tenderloin steak, Claussen pickles, pork rinds, home made mac and cheese with gravy, sashimi… I think it’s time for lunch.
Zoo Animal I Like Most: Elephants.

I like this. Can I do it?
(You don’t wake up till noon? Really? I thought I was bad for waking up at 9 or 10.)

You were doing well right up to the gravy on the mac and cheese part!

I can turn my tongue over sideways - both ways! It is a
talent indeed. I can also roll it up and whistle through it. Try
that one!!

I havent had home made mac and cheese since I was in school. I think we made it in home ec class once. I dont remember exactly.

1. Only one dog? What happened to the other one.
2. What about the time you ran up the $800 phone bill calling the New Kids On The Block hotline?
3. What kind of gravy on the Mac and Cheese? I suppose beef gravy wouldn’t be bad. It does sound odd, but beef, cheddar, pasta. Could be good.

tshsmom, really, try it. It’s gooooood!
Diane, I can’t whistle period, so I don’t think I’ll manage that one.
Tweetey, I try not to think of Home Ec.
And finally, since you pulled out New Kids, I’m dropping your name:
KELLY, the other one liked to shit himself and roll around in it. He lives on a farm now. You’re a horrible, horrible person for mentioning #2. And yes, beef gravy. It was pretty good when I accidentally mixed my Salisbury steak gravy with my mac ‘n’ cheez, so I started making it for real.

I was not going to comment until I saw the part about your tongue. I can do that one, too. :-)
