Me-me from A-Z

(Meme "borrowed" from helloheather.)

[A is for age:] 27

[B is for favorite beverage:] Ale8. Pepsi. Oh, for the love of all things, please give me something with caffeine soon, because my life is startlingly dull without the liquid happiness. (I'm off caffeine for reasons of heart flutter-ations at the moment.)

[C is for career:] I'm a Cobol programmer. I had to add the Cobol since it actually does start with C.

[D is for favorite dog:] Ones that don't bite. I like doggies but they kind of scare me at first.

[E is for essential item you use everyday:] Computer. M and I spend way too much time online. Also, apparently I work, sometimes, on one.

[F is for favorite fried food:] Potatoes, of course. I love me some french fries.

[G is for favorite game:] Rook. Or maybe Zuma, at the moment. I have a love hate love hate HATE HATE HATE relationship with that game. I am obsessed with it and yet I am also bored with it.

[H is for hometown:] Morehead, the town now known as Pseudonymous Hometown. I don't know why I suddenly got paranoid on that. I need to come up with real pseudonyms, and go through my journal and change names, if I plan on keeping with that. I'm thinking it doesn't really bother me enough to get off my butt and do it, though.

[I is for instruments you play:] Trumpet. Bet that surprised someone. I haven't played regularly since seventh grade, though, so I don't really consider myself a trumpet player anymore.

[J is for favorite juice:] Orange.

[K is for kids:] Not yet!

[L is for longest trip:] Sweden, three months, summer 2000. Any of the Sweden trips count as longest in the farthest sense. I'm really adventurous.

[M is for marriage:] I'm married to totte and it is nice. Really, really nice.

[N is for name of your favorite song:] Right now? Too hard to decide. How about This is Us, by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris.

[O is for overnight hospital stays:] None since I came home from the hospital as a wee little one.

[P is for phobias:] Snakes, spiders, things that sting. Also insects with too many legs.

[Q is for quote:] "And reality has a well-known liberal bias." --Stephen Colbert.

[R is for biggest regret:] I have no regrets? Well. I have no regrets that I want to drag out for public consumption at the moment.

[S is for self confidence:] It's getting better.

[T is for time you wake up:] 6:00 or 6:36. (Honestly, 6:20 or 6:55 but my alarm says differently.)

[U is for unbelievable:] My husband is singing a Toby Keith song at the moment. And dancing. He is of the opinion that "meme" should be pronounced "me-me" because that's what it's all about--me me me me me me me. (That's one of my favorite songs to make fun of. Can I just digress for one minute here? Of course I can, it's my me-me. Dude. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY. You go on for five minutes and you don't list ONE SINGLE THING that you actually want to talk about in regard to yourself.

[V is for vegetable you love:] Have you READ this journal? Potatoes! I love the starchy white goodness of a perfect potato.

[W is for worst habit:] I smoke three packs a day. HA! No, I'm kidding, I don't. I've never smoked one cigarette, ever, actually. My worst habit is... perhaps my pop addiction? I don't feel like putting much thought into this.

[X is for x-rays you've had:] Teeth (ugly.) Neck, spine, etc (first chiropractor exam.) Foot (broken.)

[Y is for yummy food you make:] Ribs! And potatoes! And lasagna! And bacon-wrapped chicken! I make lots of yummy food and that is actually kind of inconvenient to my waistline.

[Z is for favorite zoo:] Uh. I am not such a zoo connoisseur that I need to have a zoo that is my favorite. I have been to the Cincinnati Zoo most recently. Three years ago.
