a quirky meme!

i was tagged by allen at a novel idea for a quirky meme. i have the feeling people in my family would do a much better job with this list, but here's my attempt:

1. I think a lot of women my age are lame, especially white women. And I'm white.
2. I never leave the house without antibacterial hand gel. I went two years without catching a cold. Caught the last one from my hair stylist when I was getting ready to do several book signings - so I was sick as hell the whole time.
3. I never cook. I cooked three crappy meals a day for 20 years. That's enough.
4. I love music more than books. I don't think rock gets enough respect as an art form.
5. I might be an acid casualty. If you ever meet me, you'll notice that there is often a delay to my responses. It takes my brain a little while to process what you just said.
6. If I see somebody crying, even somebody I don't know, I cry too. Once I was driving down the street and saw a woman crying. I started crying.
7. I know nothing about sports, especially football, and don't want to. I used to enjoy watching my kids play hockey and softball, but why would I want to watch somebody I don't even know run and slide and fall down? Yawn.
8. I DETEST cold weather, but live in Minnesota. Every fall I talk about moving, about GETTING THE HELL OUT OF THIS HELLISH HELL, but can't decide where to go so I never do it.
9. Has Phillip Seymour Hoffman ever been named sexiest man alive? If not, he should be.
10. I love zombies!

i haven't kept up with my blog reading today, so i don't know who's been tagged.


tag: jer -- she's in new york right now, but she'll probably want to do this when she gets back
tag: emom

i'm so lazy today. i'll try to post links later!!

this was a fun meme -- thanks, allen!!

Anne, another great list!

I never leave the house without antibacterial hand gel.

Wouldn't work for me. Being on trains every day is like being in a biohazard version of Chernobyl. I'd have to use that new anti-viral fogging mist from Raid to maintain my defenses there. (Oh wow, I just had a vision of boarding a train using one of those suit contraptions from The Andromeda Strain....)

It ain't acid, Anne, it's age. I've never done a lick of acid in my life and since I middle age, my brain just doesn't process as quickly as it used to.

Oh, and while I wouldn't call him sexy, I think PS Hoffman is one of our finest actors.

hit (the missing word)

Bonnie Godbee said...

well hell rob, i'm not middle aged yet and i had to read your first post a good 10 times before i figured out where the missing word went.

Anne,

"I don't think rock gets enough respect as an art form."

I agree. :)

Mary Louisa said...

Ditto Rob. I'm 40 and have never done acid, but lately my neurons sputter like bic lighters almost out of fluid. Gotta be age. And motherhood.

i thought poopy diapers were supposed to keep you young and sharp. kinda like smelling salts.

Jerilyn Dufresne, author said...

anne, I don't know what the actual meme itself asks us to do. (Yeah, I'm back from NY.) Can you direct me to the meme? I can figure out most of the questions, but not all. Thanks. Jer

anne frasier said...

jer,

The rules are simple. Reflect for a while on your quirks, then list 'em.

Jerilyn Dufresne, author said...

Shoot. That'll take all day.
