Sit still now.

Only for the 2nd time in the history of this entire damn blog am I answering a meme. That's right, I've been nailed by Kara . A PERSON I KNOW IN THE REAL LIFE! The ONLY BLOGGER I've laid eyes on! In real life! Did I say that already? REAL! LIFE! Usually I pride myself on being the person who politely ignores them, but I really was wishing somebody would pay some attention to me, anyway. And that is in every way a hint directed at you. Yes, you. You at the keyboard (I amaze you with my psychical skills, no?)

The theme du meme is "Bad Habits". But, lucky for you, and self esteem affirmingly for me, the writer is only allowed five. Hang on to your honkers, kiddoes, it's time!

1. I like to eat raw ramen. Crunchy. Right out of the bag. I'll eat it cooked if I have to, but the more crunch, the more I'm prone to munch (ewww, who who who let Dr. Seuss in here? Get thee away, man!). I just open the little flavor packet and dip little pieces in there like the Lik m aid of old.

2. I always imagine the worst case scenario. Riding the elevator, I picture myself falling down backwards. Near a cliff? I picture myself getting blown off. That way, if I die while I'm doing it, I'll be prepared. Clean underwear and all. Must be that old girl scout training kicking in.

3. I like to count stuff. Steps to the door. Steps to the car. Tiles in the ceiling. Squares in the shower. I also like to hold my breath, but only while I'm driving. 1 mile. 1 minute. 1 rest stop. I have no idea why I do this. I think it keeps my brain occupied. Or kills more cells. Either way. Suits me just fine.

4. If I like something, I'll buy it in all the colors it comes in. And wear only that. Let's take my underwear, for example. Victoria's Secret - 1 style. I own at least 30 pairs in all the colors it comes in. And that's ALL I wear. I have two sweaters in the same style. 5 pairs of pants. 4 pairs of jeans. All the same style. On any given day, I'm wearing the same exact thing in different colors. Exciting, no? I'm Afraid to Dress Herself Barbie. Momma and dh pick out things that look good, and I just rotate them in.

5. I imitate TV stars gestures and facial expressions because I like the way they look. Remember when Kelly Kapowski smiled, looked down, and then looked lovingly up at Zack? Copied it. Remember when Grace put her hand over her open mouth and made her eyes all big and wide to look cute and suprised? Copied it. Oh yes, and when I was in middle school, I tried to dance like Molly Ringwald a la Breakfast Club. Mangled it.

I think I've humiliated myself enough for one day. Let's see...who do I think will put up with being tagged by me?

The lovely, enchanting and always articulate Rose (nudge, nudge). Who I hope I've guilted into participating with my endless butt smooching.

And if I'm going to go for broke, I'd like to hear what Millertime and the Lovely Lola have to say. They don't have a motherfucking clue who I am, but, a girl can wish, cain't she?

And this girl . Because she always posts some good pictures of food. So maybe she has weird food habits. GOOD GOSH AMIGHTY, am I some kind of hungry.

And Rob because he travels alot and he lives in NC. And, because I want to know if he has any bad habits that he indulges in in NC that I can indulge in, too.

Finally, Janet because she's a teacher too, and teachers are people too, dammit!

Y'all are dismissed!
Wait, wait, wait.

If you DO participate, because I tagged you, or somebody tags you in the future (hee hee! I said 'tagged!' Immature? Party of one?) make sure you go and comment and let the taggees know that you tagged them. K? K!

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Gosh, if I'd have only known you wanted to be tagged, i would have tagged you. Most people get annoyed when you tag them!

The Ramen thing is totally off the wall, and the counting thing means you are OCD, I think. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

One of the guys I work with counts everything too, especially stairs. One day our manager was reading an accident report that was about a guy who missed the last step of a staircase because he was carrying something and couldn't see, and OCD guy piped up, "See, that would never happen to a stair counter."

I'll see what I can do, but I rarely do memes either. In other words, I make no promises.:)

Jen - Hmmm, I don't know if I've started a bad habit here, or not. To meme, or not to meme?

Janet - I hear you LOUD and CLEAR. But, at least you responded, yippee! ;)

Yes, I am answering comments here until I get this shtuff worked out.

Yay! Thanks for giving me something to write about, teehee.

I totally do the ramen thing. It is so good that way. I also do number 4, because goshdarnit, it's hard finding stuff I like that fits right.

Yay you for doing it. I never do tags or memes either, but it gave me a break from writing about all the stuff that I'm supposed to and I knew I would enjoy reading your post. And also, because I know you. In real life. Merci!

How many times do you have to do something before it becomes a habit?

comment by Silent Scream at 04:21 PM on 01.12.06 [ link ]

Allrighty... I did it... so there! :)

comment by Rob at 05:38 PM on 01.12.06 [ link ]

I've been tagged by this, and it seems to have gone everywhere. I do the worst case scenario thing, too!

Silent Scream:
If there is some kind of formula, please let me know, because I am hoping I am UNDER the NUMBER (Why did the Indian Chief call his daughter 99 cents? Because she was under a buck! HA!) for some of my more endearing traits (cough. cough.).
