Silence of the Lambs Never Gets Old

People are always trying to tell me what to do. I tell you what, if I wasn't still losing my soul online for work right now, I would tell them all to suck rope. But I am online. And I have to keep myself off the shoe sites. My mortgage is a jerk. So it's a meme. Before you all sigh heavily, just know that I already have. For all of us. But I've also had a beer so I'm over it and you need to be too. 'sides, I was tagged by Erin and I think she's cooler than you. She knows how to hotlink things in the comments section. What can YOU do? So here's what's with the up. I have to answer some questions. I have done so below:


#1: What is your current obsession?
Hmm, I have a few. True Blood (shut up), travel planning, writing on this stupid thing and your mom.

What.

#2: Who was the last person you hugged?
Well now I don't know. I'm not a hugger. Who's shocked? I think maybe my grandparents who I saw last weekend. Yes, I think I hugged them. I make exceptions for grandparents.

#3: What's your favorite dinner?
Tomato soup and grilled cheese. Shut up.

#4: What are you listening to right now?
The Colbert Report and the dishwasher. And typing.

#5: What was the last movie you saw in the theater?
I just saw The Reader on Monday. At first Mandy and I were all "ha ha! 15 year old dong!" And then it got all serious and our buzz wore off. But, you know, it was good. I'd read the book so I'd been wanting to compare. It was quite...thoughtful. A wonderful character study. And there was some 15 (really he was 18, so it was ok) year old nekkid European jail bait.

#6: What was the last thing you bought? A leopard print bra because it was the only one in my size and a sundress to lessen the pain of bra shopping.

#7: What is your favorite weather? The kind that allows me to sit on a patio and have a nice cold beer while judging passersby based on clothing, hair and accessories.

#8: Say something to the person who tagged you
She knows how to knit. Knit well. Lord knows I've tried. I have about 7 extra fingers.

***continued on day 2***

#9: Coffee or Tea? Tea. Perfect since I'm from the land of the coffeeshop. And I drink it straight - no milk or sugar. I'm a dried leaf bad ass!

#10: What did you want to become as a child?
When I was leetle I wanted to be a professional cheerleader. And then I wanted to be a girl version of Gene Kelly. What can I say, I was an uninspired child.

#11: If you could go anywhere in the next hour, where would it be?
Well I just got back from the Grilled Cheese Grill (YES) so it's hard to imagine wanting to be anywhere else. But if pressed, I would say space.

#12: Who do you want to meet in person?
Wes Anderson. And then I would seduce him. And in doing so, would absorb is creativity.

#13: What is your most challenging goal right now?
Coworkers read this so I'm going to lie and say it's NOT trying to start my own business.

#14: What is your weirdest obsession?
Weirdest? I'll drop everything to watch pretty much any BBC production of a classic novel. I'm a Masterpiece Theater junkie. And am very aware of how alone I am in this.

#15: Why did you start a blog?
Because a coworker told me to thinking it might lessen the number of random thoughts shared with the room. Oh well.

I guess this goes on, but it's making me analyze my blog and I don't like being reminded that I'm self absorbed. However, I DO like being reminded that I have dainty feet. Unrelated thought.

I'm not going to tag anybody because hotlinking takes work and I don't think I need to remind you that I just got back from The Grilled Cheese Grill. Mama needs a nap.

The Things I Do For People I Don't Know

This might be the second meme request from Mary in which I'm forced to give details about myself. I'm convinced it's because she wants to gather what info she can and then steal my identity to open a crapload of credit cards and max them out at some place really lame, like JC Penney's. Sneaky.

This time, it's in the form of an award. I don't know how this is an award really, since it comes with conditions. But I'm still at "work" and it's New Years Eve and I've watched ENTIRELY too many Twilight Zone episodes in a 7 hour period, so here we go.

This will be my special Last Day of 2008 version of the meme where I will give you 10 honest little nuggets from this special, special - flew by like it was on speed laced with coke - year. Yes, that was an extra "special". I'm serious about things. Here they are in the order of when I thought of them.

10. I saw Baby Mama. In the theater. And not the cheap, second-run theater. But in my defense, Mum and I took Grandma, and her laughing at it made it worth every second of my life lost. (What's worse is that I thought it was a fairly amusing)

9. Due to happy-relationship weight-gain, I purchased and wore one of those hideous beige spanx-type girdle undergarment things. I felt...confined.

8. I had a sex dream about a faceless hermaphrodite. The actual dream wasn't as perverse as that sentence makes it out to be, but damn, I woke up uncomfortable.

7. I called my sister fat. Several times. Recently. I'll probably do it again tomorrow. And every time I do it, I feel better about myself. I'm not sure why since she's still a smaller size than me at 6 months of pregnasty. Funny, that.

6. I didn't see a dead body that I saw.

5. I found a way to blog from Romania. Awesome. And sad.

4. I went to my 10-year high school reunion. And came back from it.

3. I fell out of love.

2. I became David Cross' best friend. I know it, even if he doesn't.

1. I fell in love.

Now you know it all. Don't ask me for anything ever again.

Merry New Year. Merry merry.
