Steeped happily in disaster

My girl LAS tagged me for the Book Meme.

Directions: pick up the nearest book. Open to page 123. Type the fifth sentence on the page.

OK.


"He sat slouched in a camouflage jacket with Velco closures, steeped happily in disaster."

Now, if you are tagged and you'd rather not be tagged, then un-tag yourself. I am well aware that some people are anti-meme. That's cool. Just move on.

If you were all like, Oh, pick me! pick me! then consider yourself tagged. I'll even tag you officially if you request a tag in comments.

Love and stuff,
Nina

Even Weirder

Tagged again, this time by Bee, to list the seven most famous or infamous people I have ever met or to do the ubiquitous seven strange things about me post.

Happily, there are more weird things about me to share.

1) I do not own a single tube of lipstick. Gloss, yes. Stain, yes. Stick, no.

2) I categorically reject thong underwear. Whose idea was that? I'd rather not wear underwear than have to wear a thong. And yes, it is possible to find underwear that doesn't create lines. Please stop looking at my ass.

3) I used to be a telemarketer. (I was in graduate school and really poor. Don't judge me).

4) I have twenty bottles of nail-polish. Why is this weird? Because I don't wear nail-polish.

5) I am rarely late or early for anything. I am on time.

6) I have never read a single word of the Potter books.

7) I can't sleep unless I take my earrings out.

Tagged herewith:

Maggie, LAS, Liz, Lotus, Jen,and Cajunvegan.

P, you are also tagged if you want to be tagged but not if you don't. Ditto Woodrow.

(This presupposes that the above listed taggees don't have a choice, which they certainly do).

Oh yes and the "rules" state that if you are tagged you should tag more people and leave comments on their blogs telling them they are tagged.

Etc.

Tomorrow, I will tell the story of Grip. Until then, have a lovely Tuesday.

A boring, non-historical moment at Reader

Oh, look! I am doing another meme!

Bred tagged me to do this one:

Seven Weird Things about me:

1) I floss my teeth in the shower. I don't know why I do it this way, but I always have and I am rather ashamed of it. What kind of eco-warrior lets two gallons of water spin down the drain while she flosses her teeth? Bah. Not good. Not good at all.

2) I have one kidney. OK, one and a walnut sized blip of a second. It's a long story but the short version is that I was born with something wrong with my kidneys and almost died repeatedly until I was about three, when they medical community managed to fix it. But not before removing most of one kidney.

3) Three things I don't like that everyone else does: dogs, bananas, and naps. One, dogs pee in your house. If you keep them outside, the pee in your yard. They are also as needy as babies but can't grow up and appreciate you. (I have nothing good to say about dogs). Regarding bananas, ew. Gross sticky sweet ew. Regarding naps, if I take one, I wake up disoriented and screwy and I don't know what day it is. My body knows one kind of nap. The eight hour kind called nighttime. That is all.

4) If I drink a can of beer, soda, whatever, I always rip the tab off. I don't know why, but I must do it. I must. It's kind of OCD, I know.

5) I do not eat bacon. It is not a political statement. I do not like it.

6) I used to work for a Big Fancy Bank and my job was to underwrite non-conforming loans of every variety. Need a $50,000 loan secured by a tract of swamp land, a ball of rubber bands, and a tricycle? That was my job - to make "relationship" loans. (Please note: I am now a teacher, ie, I am no longer rolling around on the floor with the devil. At least I don't think so. Wait.... I.... oh shit).

7) We lived in Europe when I was a little kid. My dad had a friend in Holland and since the two of them did the same job for two different companies, they got the OK from their bosses to trade jobs, houses, and lives for a year. We lived in Eindhoven and then moved around a bit before returning to the U.S. A few grainy pictures I unearthed from those times:

A sea of tulips:




A lane of windmills:




My brother Buzz and I walking to Berg Eltz in Germany:



And finally, Berg Eltz:





Tagged herewith: Em, e!, Supajewie, Avitable (reverse tagged for previous meme he already completed or tagged for this one if he wants to do it but I think the seven photos of seven body parts post is adequate preemptive response to this tagging. So. Also, y'all should know Avitable is making an ENORMOUS fuss over his birthday. Go see him and guess his parts or otherwise give him attention).

Just so you know, since I am NOT making an enormous fuss, tomorrow is my 38th birthday.

Also, if you are not tagged in this post or the previous one and you wish you were, please consider yourself tagged. It's hard to say who wants tagging and who doesn't. So I leave it to you.

An Historic Moment at Reader

I have never done a meme.

I thought I never would.

Oh well.

Here is my first:

The name of my band is: Yutaka Hirose. The name of our album is To Come Back Home. Here is our album cover:



If I could figure out how to properly credit Flickr for the use of this photo, I would. Perhaps the above is all that is necessary.

Forgive me please, SpiritedStrider, for not making a proper job of this meme. Photo-shop is on my other machine and I am late to this party, so I thought I would hop to it.

Here are the official rules:

It's called The Band Meme.

Here's how it goes. You are about to have your own band's CD cover. Follow these directions to the letter.
Go to......

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result as a comment in this post.

(Don't forget to follow the Terms of Use at Flickr and provide a link back to the page at Flickr.)

Musical Laughter, Rick(y), Marlee, Mallory, Lola, Bred, * consider yourself tagged. Act as you will, but tagged you are.

* Yo, Lola, I know you have not updated your blog in two months and you are not speaking to me, but YO, you have been tagged. In case you feel like a little harmless blog communication, is all I am saying.
