24601…

Thanks to Avitable, I now have something to blog about today!  Here’s my *me* meme:

My favorite age: Somewhere between 30-35, when I finally grew up.

My best friend: I have many, actually.  There are oldest friends, closest friends, friends whom I speak to about everything under the sun, friends who make me smile and laugh, and friends that understand me better than anyone else…and that’s not even everybody!  I’d have to say that Foo is the one person I’d name if I could only name just one.

My celebrity crush: Ryan Reynolds, Tim Daly, Colin Firth, Eliza Dushku.

My defining characteristic: Why is this question the hardest?  I have no idea what defines me.  Is it just one thing?  Bah, anyway…I’ll go with compassion.

My most evil moment: Telling my ex fiancees wife that he was cheating on her with tons of women but not because I cared about her or thought she should know rather because I wanted her to suffer.

My favorite food: Chicken tacos with lots of cheese in a fried corn tortilla.  Then cupcakes.

My grossest injury: I cut the top of my right index finger off when I was in grade school. They sewed it back together but still…

My biggest hatred: Close-mindedness by people who are incapable of seeing things any way other than their own.

My most illegal activity: *Whstles*…wouldn’t you like to know!

My need for justice: Any underdog getting bullied by a group of closed-minded individuals who are as ignorant as the day is long, usually due to prejudice of any kind.  This could be race, sexual orientation, gender, handicap, fatism, religious affiliation or anything else that falls under this umbrella.

My most knowledgeable field: Oddly enough, classic literature.  Seriously, I know those books back and forth and have super-dissected every one of them a few times.

My life’s goal: To be honest to God happy and have the strength to change that which doesn’t lead to my happiness.

My mother’s influence: Hrm…well, my mother always had an affinity for the arts, theater and all things cultural.  So yeah, she gave me my love for plays, art galleries, museums, and many more things like that.

My nerdiest point: Marrying a man that designs video games and more specifically works for Blizzard Entertainment.  You may think that’s not much nerdiness on my part but yes, you learn a lot of geekery when you marry into the realm of knowing tons of people that work for game companies.  I knew nothing nerdy before I married Shawn…nothing!

My oldest memory: This sounds so sad but there was a letter from my Dad that he was going away for awhile.  My Mom told me that he had to work out of town for a month and I was crushed that he never said goodbye.  Later in life I realized that he was actually in jail for 30 days on a DUI.  D’oh!

My perfect date: The setting is not as important as the who and what.  Any date where we talk and laugh until the wee hours of the morning is perfect.  I often imagine a dinner out, walking around somewhere and discovering new things then settling in with drinks and nothing but the desire to know everything about each other.  Of course, kissing may become involved at some point.  Ahem.

My unanswered question: What about the road not taken?  Would that have been better?

My random fact: I often break into song for no good reason.  Lately I’ve been singing “Past The Point of No Return” to my cat.

My stupidest decision: Gee, there are so many.  Realistically though, I’d have to say his name was Rudi Scortt.

My favorite television show: Of all time? Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Right now? Pushing Daisies.

My style of underwear: Boy shorts (I agree with SJ that they make even a fat ass look terrific) and high cut briefs (for those days when I just laze around).

My favorite vegetable: Artichokes.  Then zucchini.

My weakest trait: I let things bother me that shouldn’t.  I tend to obsess over one off-the-cuff remark that someone said to me rather than just letting it go and moving forward.

My X-men power: Telepathy.  I mean, I’ve spewed about my ability to read people how many times already this year?

My strongest yearning: Fire and Rain (yes, that’s cryptic).

My moment of Zen: Every day around 2:15 pm when I get home from work, grab some vanilla chai tea and hop on the phone with a dear friend for about an hour.

    You just like zucchini because of its phallic nature, admit it.

    “Do you hear the people sing
    Singing the songs of angry men
    It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again…”

    I need to eat more artichokes.

    Do you have a scar? I always wonder about tips-of-the-finger injuries vis-a-vis fingerprints for some reason. Also I like to use up all the hyphens in the world.

    I totally sliced into my index finger a couple of years ago while making the wedding cake for my Mother-in-law’s wedding. It was bad. Really bad, but I was on a deadline and the cake wasn’t going to make itself, so I threw on some neosporin, wrapped it up, and went about icing and putting on fondant. Eeeeewwwwwww! I feel for your finger. :green:

    Avi, if the zuchini was because it was phallic, she’d have picked the more obvious cucumber. Hello?

    Sorry you didnt’ get to come visit. Hope you can reschedule it soon! We have drinks to imbibe!

    See, I had a thought with the zucchini reference, too. If Adam thinks it’s because it’s phallic, then what is the artichoke?! Haha
    Boyshorts was my answer, too! They are sooo awesome and comfy!!!
    Good answers, good answers!!!

    Adam: Clearly, you caught me. ;)
    Nat: Yay you for getting the reference! Although, coming from you, I am not surprised. :D

    kat: I actually don’t have a scar however my fingernail on my right index finger is a different shape than the others. It’s kinda spooky.

    Kim: Just try one pair and if you don’t like it, toss it!

    Blondefabulous: Wow, look at you. Nothing stands between you and your cake makin’!

    Bucky: Sure! Although I doubt he’ll put out for you.

    SJ: I actually *do* like veggies from A to Z. I never met a veggie that I don’t like….mmmm, brussels sprouts.

    Finn: :rock backatcha!

    Poppy: No, YOU are!

    Tracy: Mmm, drinks. That sounds lovely. I do like the cucumber as well but what Adam doesn’t know is that I am not desperate enough to shove veggies into Princess Hoopie Doo!

    Sybil: Thank you, Richard Dawson!

    I hear Pushing Daisies is great. I think I’ve missed enough to warrant adding it to my Netflix queue.

    You get home from work at 2:15? I know I’m new to your blog and all, but I WANT YOUR JOB!!!

    We share a liking for the same shows! I also really enjoy “Bones” but I think it’s mostly due to David Boneanaz’s presence (loved him as Angel :wub: ).
