My Random Blog

Meme time kids.

Marvin the Martian tagged me for a “share 6 fucked up things about yourself” meme. Only he called them “quirks”. I don’t consider myself particularly quirky… Fucked up, however, I can work with. So let’s get this party started, shall we?

• Link the person(s) who tagged you.
• Mention the rules on your blog.
• Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
• Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.
• Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.

1. I am addicted to Lipton Iced Tea (sweetened, no lemon). I drink about 4-6 bottles a day. This is probably why I’m an insomniac.

2. I absolutely HATE talking on the phone. It’s too much of a commitment for me, and my attention span is way too short. Therefore I text. A lot. (Thankfully my bff is the exact same way.)

3. I rarely wake up before noon. This is the perk of working nights.

4. I have a girl crush on Gina Gershon. I would totally make out with her. Sober.

5. Every time I watch LOTR Return of the King, I cry every time Sam does.

6. I shake my leg to get to sleep. I’ve been doing that since I was little. It still works, so I still do it.

And there ya have it. Six things you could have lived your whole life without knowing. You’re welcome.

Now I will tag (by blog) but- as always- participation is optional.

Peace and random info.

Well, well, well. It seems that Ernie over at Redneck Bar & Grill has tagged me for a meme. Yee Haw! What is this meme I speak of, you ask? I gotta cough up 8 random things about me. Since there are a million random things about me- this will be tricky. I’ll try to pick just 8. I hope you enjoy the space between my ears.

And now… The Rules! Oooo!

1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.

2. People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.

3. At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.

4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment and tell them they’ve been tagged, and to read your blog.

Ok kids… On with my issues…

1.) When I’ve had a “certain” amount of alcohol (it could be 2 drinks, it could be 5) I will sneeze 6 times. Exactly 6. I don’t know why that is, but it amuses the hell out of my friends. Last night, just the smell of Tuaca set me off.

2.) When a customer at work is being horribly rude, and I put lemon in their water or tea, I will push it all the way to the bottom of their glass with my finger.

3.) I absolutely refuse to touch a pregnant woman’s belly. It’s like I think it’s contagious or something. I think the closest I’ve come is poking with one finger.

4.) I can watch the movie Rat Race over and over and over again and I will still laugh like it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it.

5.) I have a serious cell phone addiction. I have never owned a phone longer than a year, I’ve owned pretty much every make and model & I am almost constantly on the hunt for my next one. I’ve only had my iPhone (which I thought would cure me of this) for 4 months and I’ve already picked out my next cell phone. FYI: Nokia’s are consistently the best phones and Motorola’s suck.

6.) I currently have a pimple on the side of my face that’s threatening to take over my head.

7.) I will blow the fuck up before I pass gas in front of my significant other. In 5+ years with D, the only time he witnessed such an atrocity was when I was asleep. You’re welcome for that.

8.) Back when I was bartending, I’d take whatever was left in the bar mat, at the end of the night, (usually quite a nasty combination of various liquors) and put it in a shot glass. I would then sell the shot for $2. There was ALWAYS someone who would be drunk enough to buy- and drink- it.

And there ya have it, folks. Now I’m gonna tag other bloggers to share their randomness with the world too… As always, this is optional. So play along, or don’t and either is ok.

And the poor bastards lucky ones are (by blog):

The Junk Drawer

Brainfizzles

Peanut Butter and Pickles

Thinking Out Loud

Twisted Sister

Special Kind of Stupid

Anything Goes

Fashion Paramedic

Peace and nasty bar shots.

DrowseyMonkey tagged me for a meme that goes like this:

You have to find five things around your house that say something about the person you are and snap a picture of them. Then tell us about them.

Sounds easy enough. However, being the completely random, and eclectic, person I am- finding just 5 things was tricky. I took about 15 pictures, but managed to narrow it down to just 5. And now… Here’s a little about who I am in five photographs:

Now comes the part where I “tag” other bloggers to do this too. It’s completely optional, of course, so if ya wanna- please do. If not, no worries.

I Do Things

Peace and contagious posts.

So I was over at The Junk Drawer reading through the posts, which are always enjoyable, when I came upon a “meme” (a contagious post, of sorts). Since this is akin to re-posting survey bulletins on MySpace- and once upon a time I was actually addicted to that- I have decided to do it too.

Here are the instructions:

Cite and link to your source (me), then enjoy writing about 7 Weird Things About Yourself, then tag some people and help spread the weirdness.

On with my weirdness…

1.) My food can’t touch. This sometimes results in my having a solar system of plates while everyone else just has one. This rule does not apply to ALL foods- only runny ones and non-runny ones together. For example: I don’t want different sauces getting mixed together, or for the juices of my medium rare steak to get onto my baked potato, thus making it soggy on the bottom. So “runny” things must be kept seperate. I must note, however, that I do not do this in restaurants. In that case, I simply push the different foods to the edges of my plate and seperate them the best I can.

2.) If I’m hand writing something, I will rewrite it however many times it takes until it’s perfect. I can’t stand for things to be scratched out, and I only use pencils for art. If I make a mistake I will start all over again, even at work, with note paper. I’ve been known to toss out an entire sheet of paper because of a small mistake at the beginning. In my next life I am SURE I’m coming back as a tree.

3.) Whenever I walk behind, or cross paths with people who don’t look like they practice good personal hygiene, I hold my breath. I have some sort of phobia about breathing in the same air that they were just in. I also do this with sick people.

4.) I rarely ever wash my car. I HAVE washed it, but not in about a year, at LEAST. This also applies to the inside. If you saw the inside of my car- you would die. But only because the contents would attack and kill you. There are a million other things I’d rather do, and take care of, than washing my car. Therefore it rarely happens.

5.) I have two birthmarks on my body that are identical to, and in the same places as, my mom’s. I don’t know how weird that is- but there ya have it.

6.) I am irrationally afraid of bees. The sight of even one bee will send me into a freak-out mode of embarrassing proportions. Running, only-dogs-can-hear-it shrieking, arms flying… It’s all there. And all I need is ONE BEE.

7.) Cottage cheese and pickles, together, make me very happy.

And that’s that. Now is the time when I would tag other bloggers for this meme, but since this whole thing is optional anyway- I won’t. If you want to participate- please do.
