So Steph was tagged for this meme and posted it on her blog. I was not tagged, but I'm desperately seeking NaBloPoMo material and I'm valiently trying to not write about potty training, so I'm going to go ahead and do this one. I have many quirks, none of which are spectacular, so this should be easy for me:
I can't sleep naked. And this has nothing to do with having small children. The real reason is because I am terrified that the one time I fall asleep in the nude will be the very night we have a housefire and I'll get up and be so busy getting my kids and pets out of the house I'll forget to get dressed or even wrap a blanket around myself and I'll be standing in the street watching my house burn to the ground in the buff.
I am terrified of aliens. To my knowledge, I have never been abducted nor have I been anally probed by an extraterrestrial visitor, but that doesn't change the fact that I always watch alien movies with my hands covering my eyes, only peeking at the screen through my fingers. John keeps asking why I didn't like the new Indiana Jones movie, I had been SO excited for it and I'm a HUGE fan of the first three, but I wouldn't even sit through the enitre movie when he recently bought it on BluRay. It's because THEY'RE ALIENS (ok, dimentional shifters...whatever)! Signs? That leg in the cornfield? FREAKY!
I love Canada. Though I've never been there. I've never met a Canadian I didn't like, and back before we had Alex I lobbyed pretty hard to get John to transfer to his company's Vancouver office. It's not that I hate the US, not at all, I just, for reasons unknown, feel that I am deep down in my soul, a Canadian. John thinks it's funny but supports my love of Candadians by making a point to introduce me to his Canadian co-workers when they're in town. I love them all.
I still have a weird crush on Micheal Flatley. Lord of the Dance, C'mon! It was cool in the 90's! Wasn't it?
I LOVE motorcycles. It is hard for me to drive in the summer because I have a hard time keeping my eyes on the road when a Harley passes me on the freeway. I don't know how to ride a motorcycle, though my ex tried to teach me once on a Honda Magna. I couldn't keep the thing upright. John "won't allow" me to get a bike, saying that they're too dangerous, so I'm likely not going to ever learn to ride (though I tell John that if I'm ever widowed, the first thing I'm doing is going out and getting myself a hog and joining the Hell's Angels chapter for the elderly).
You know that question "If you could meet any celebrity who would it be?" I would have a hard time making the choice between Tina Fey and Queen Latifah. A few weeks ago when they were in the same SNL skit (where Fey played Palin and The Queen played Gwen Ifill) was one of my favorite TV moments of all time.
ok, this is your aged mother, what is meme and Nablopomo.....I don't speak text!
ReplyDeleteNathan's two top selling reps are Canadian girls, and we worked with mostly Canadians all summer, they party hard sometimes but we like em also aye. Nathan and his family love, love the movie (Strange Brew) go rent it if you don't already love it. If Nathan ends up getting a motorcycle maybe John will let you sit on it and we can turn on some fans or something. Last but not least I actually was in love with a coffee commercial with a Lord of the dance dancer who woke up stretched, drank her coffee and started practicing, any time I saw it I wanted to be her I even got up and pretended to be...yes held my waist and moved those legs knee down as quickly as possible your not alone.
