6th picture folder meme.

Belle didn't actually tag anyone for this one, she said You, you, and YOU, so I figured she meant me, so here's the rules and my 6th picture folder picture.

1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder and then pick the 6th Picture.
3. Post it on your blog and tell the story that goes with the picture.
4. Tag 5 other glorious people to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog telling them about it.

Here's mine:

7yearoldroses%20001.jpg

These roses are 7 years old, I know, they look like it too...LoL
They were given to me by an ex-boyfriend, and they were so pretty, that when they started to die, I couldn't stand the thought of losing them forever, so I saved them.
I went out and bought a can of Aquanet, and then hung the roses, the whole bouquet, upside down, and once a day every day for a week, I sprayed them with the Aquanet.
As they died, the hairspray kept them from falling apart, no petals fell, no leaves, the babies breath didn't fall apart either.
They are still in pretty good shape, I dust them off once a month with my blow dryer, and the petals and leaves still don't fall off.
That's probably because I soaked every single part of each flower with the hairspray, they are stiff, so nope, they aren't budging.

I kinda think they are even prettier all dead than when they were fresh.

And like Belle, I'm not specifically tagging anyone, so like she said and I'm quoting, "I'm tagging you, you, you, you, and you. Yeah, YOU! And be sure to let me know if you did it!"

Remember Wednesday June 25th 2008.

It's time for another round of Remember Wednesday, a new-ish weekly music meme that Jade started.

This week I bring you "You Got Lucky", by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, off of their 1982 album "Long After Dark".
This album went gold by the way.

Mtvmoon.png

The song "You Got Lucky" was awesome by itself, but made even better by MTV, who actually played music videos back then.
None of this stupid crap they do now, it was music videos 24 hours a day, and bands outdid themselves to try and out do other bands and artists.
It was a fun time, I loved MTV.
I was awake and taping (on the VCR baby!) the day MTV launched on August 1st 1981, at 12:01am.
My parents let me stay up for that, I was only 11, but I think I begged and pleaded for weeks before it actually happened, doing chore after chore, walking the dog, raking leaves, mowing the lawn, whatever it took to be allowed to stay up and record and watch those first awesome music videos.
I still have the tape too.
I've shown it to my boys who were totally mesmerized by actual music videos, rock music, and the coolness that was MTV.

Today, MTV barely shows any videos at all.
It's all pop and youth culture shows now, "reality" shows like The Hills. *gag*
MTV used to be really great, I wish they would have never left that format, I think bands still strive to make awesome videos, I've seen them on Youtube and other sites like Yahoo video, but MTV was just awesome, ask any kid who grew up in those first 10-15 years.
By the mid 1990's, they had completely changed the format, limiting the airing of actual music videos to just 4 programs.
MTV Live, Total request, Say What? and 12 Angry Viewers.
It officially became the suck after that.

But man, those first years of MTV, wow.
I was introduced to so many bands, so many different styles of music, they played pretty much anything and everything, and in 1982 when I saw "You Got Lucky", I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, and my ears were on fire.
I know the band had been around since 1976, but it was the album Long After Dark, and this video that really got me into the band.
The opening of the video is in a future wasteland where a tent is filled with all the latest technological electronics of the time, so outdated now, tvs, arcade games, jukeboxes and guitars, and the song begins to play, that opening rift, man, it still gets me sometimes.
You'll actually have to go to youtube to see it, embedding has been disabled, but this was just such an interesting and cool video.
Check it out.

You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don't get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me
Go...yeah, go
But remember

Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When I found you

Remember Wednesday June 11th 2008.

It's time for another round of Remember Wednesday, a new-ish weekly music meme that Jade started.

This week is all about the Journey.
I've always been a big fan of their music, they are a solid rock band.
Each member a master of his instrument, and when combined, they all come together with an amazing sound.

Back in the early 90's, my friend Shell and I would go down town, down to the beach clubs like Mr. Goodbar's, (where they still play) and a few other bars and clubs, and see a local band called Riot Act.
Riot Act was one of those good-time bands, they played some of their music, but they mostly played covers for the tourist crowds who came in to hear rock music they knew and loved.
Guns n' Roses, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, 80's rock songs mostly, but nothing got the crowd going like when they would play covers of Journey.

The lead singer, Johnny, just had the voice that could pull off a damn good interpretation of Steve Perry.
Put his voice with the very talented members of the band, plus a good Journey hit like "Don't Stop Believin', Send her My Love, or Faithfully, and the crowd would eat it up, the place would be filled, over capacity on most nights, and it was guaranteed that you would have a good time.
They did an amazing cover of Separate Ways, one of my personal favorites of Journey, and wow, it was always so awesome to hear it played live, you'd get goosebumps when Johnny hit those high and long notes.
Shell and I would make a point of being there whenever Riot Act played, or as often as we could.
The both of us were young mothers of young toddlers, but we'd get a babysitter and head on down to the beach for our one night of fun and music, after a long week of taking care of kids and working, and Shell going to college.
We could let loose, and hang out with our friends, have a good time and just rock out with Johnny and the guys.
I think at one point, both of us actually worked at one of the clubs they played at.
I was a waitress at the Whitehall, and I believe Shell was a the only female bouncer at Goodbars.
It was a good time, good memories of being with a good friend.
So here is my Remember Wednesday song for this week, Separate Ways by Journey.

If you decide to play along, make sure you go to this week's post on Jade's blog, and leave a comment so other music lovers this week can come read about your music memories too!

Remember Wednesday.

Jade has started a new weekly music blog participation meme/thing to do, and it involves music, so I'm all over that because I absolutely love music.
It's called Remember Wednesday.

You know those songs that every time you hear, you draw up a particular memory, or thoughts of a specific time in your life? Well I wanna hear about it!

You can read how to play along on her first post about it which can be found here.


The song I'm choosing for this week is Dead or Alive's You Spin me 'Round.
This song always makes me smile, laugh, and just have a really good time no matter what.
My friends and I used to request this every time we went out to a club, just so we could get on the dance floor and have a blast. We'd make total fools of ourselves, but we were having such a good time that we didn't care what anyone else thought.

I remember on one night we went out and the dj had now gotten used to us requesting this so he just started playing it and gave us the thumbs up, we hit the dance floor and were just having so much fun, when I glanced over and caught the drummer of a popular local band watching us and dancing along too.
We knew each other so it was only natural that if he was going to dance and watch us dance, that he dance with us.
I went over and grabbed him by the hand and dragged him out onto the floor with us.
One of my girlfriends was like head over heels crushing on the guy, and got super self conscious when I did that, and he could see she was a bit embarrassed that he was now with us, so he started grinding up on her and being all goofy which only caused her to be more self conscious.
I just started laughing, that was who he was, a big goof, and to he and I, it was hysterical, but to her, total mortification that the object of her crush was dancing all silly up on her.
She eventually ran from the dance floor to the bathroom where she stayed for about 15 minutes.
Hahah!
He and I just laughed about it, shared a drink while waiting for her to get over herself and come back out.
When she did, she was acting all prissy like, trying to impress him, but he was a goof, he wasn't into prissy, so he basically ignored her.
He whispered in my ear that my friend was cute, but lame, that if she could just relax and have fun, he probably would have asked her out, but she kinda blew it by acting like that.
We spent the rest of the night talking and having fun, and we left and headed for home.
I never told her what he said, it probably would have hurt her feelings or made her even more embarrassed.

But anyway, here's the video, it still makes me laugh and smile, and my my, have you seen Pete Burns in recent years?
Ouch Pete, ouch.

Give me five Monday meme.

I almost forgot that I told Becca I would play along, even though she sent me a reminder to do it, so here is my first attempt at her Give Me Five Monday Meme.

Give Me Five things you enjoyed about your mother's day yesterday or from prior years.

1. I got 2 seriously awesome musical cards from the teens.
One says Mom, you rock, and when you open it it plays Tina Turner's Simply the Best.
That was from Mark.
Sebastian's was so totally him.
Outside it had a picture of a chicken, and simply said Happy Mother's day, and inside it said to the woman who rules the roost.
It played the chicken dance song.
As soon as I opened it up, he sprang from the couch and did the dance.
Then every chance he got after that, he would open the card and do the dance, laughing hysterically each time.

2. It's those kinds of things that made me smile all day long.

3. My sister and my nieces came down yesterday, and she and all the kids went out for a few hours leaving me to just rest and relax, have some me time.
What did I do? I cleaned of course!

4. I ordered out for dinner.
After all that cleaning, I wasn't about to dirty any more dishes.
The Chinese was super tasty!

5. The teens later on surprised me by going for a walk, and came back with a hot fudge sunday for me from Dairy Queen, that they bought with their own money.

10 weirdo random facts or habits meme.

Joana tagged me for this meme, and I usually don't do these, but my brain is like duh-ur, so I figured why not?

Here's how you play: Once you've been tagged you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random facts, habits, or goals about yourself- at the end choose 5 people to be tagged. Don't forget to leave them a comment saying (You're It!) and to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you
Okely dokely!

1. Not really a weirdo fact, but I very rarely trust any one. I slowly allow people to enter my life and I watch them, listen to them, pay close attention to facts and details they let out. If anything seems amiss, I drop them like a bad habit. I have issues.

2. I despise social networking "games". You know, like pirates, werewolf, love, hug or kiss? Don't write on my fun wall. I'm not reading it.

3. I'm like a living breathing musical encyclopedia/lyric freak. I can pretty much name that tune in 5 notes or less on just about any song as long as it's not country or rap.

4. I never want to become one of the crazy blue-haired snow birds that visit here. I'll end myself first.

5. I absolutely despise people who start a religious discussion with me, then proceed to get overly emotional when they can't back up anything they believe in other than to throw the word "faith", make personal attacks, and tell me that I'm dammed and dooming my children.
Shut the fuck up.

6. I have no idea what else to say.

7. Most of my friends are guys. I get along better with men than women.

8. Women don't appreciate that I'm friends with their guy. Trust me, I don't want him.

9. I don't like imposing on people, probably why I don't do memes often.

10. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the rest of my life.

Ok, and now because the rules say I have to tag 5 people, I will, but they don't have to do it if they don't want to.
Holly, Tina, Jenn, Belle and Christine.

Tat meme.

Lisa tagged me for the tat meme.
I have 3 tats right now, with plans for a huge back piece down the line once my scar heals up completely.
I cannot find an artist who will work with my scar for at least 1 more year.
*sadness*
So anyway, here they are.
You have no idea how hard it is for me to take pics of my own tats. ha haha

This is a very blurry pic of my right calf tat. It's a heart, with a dagger through it, and a rose. I know, oh so blurry. Sorry.

goof%201962.jpg

This is the green eye of jealousy. It is on my left chest, right above my heart. There is a small skull in the pupil.

goof%201964.jpg

This is my right upper arm, it's a wild lily. There's a reason, can anyone guess?

goof%201967.jpg

I would tag people, but I'm not sure what all bloggers have tats.
I know that Shell does, and Jenn, but other than that, not really sure.
If you have tats and want to play, leave me a link to your post and I'll update this one with your links.

The fuel my blog meme.

Elizabeth at Table4Five tagged me for this one.

Questions:
1. If you were meeting someone for the first time, what would you hope they are not wearing?
2. Approximately, how many things are you allergic to?
3. What is your favorite fruit?
4. Of the people you know, who has a quality that you are most envious of? What is that quality?

Participants:
1. Answer the questions honestly on your own blog.
2. Randomly select 4 blogs from fuelmyblog but not from the homepage.
3. Leave a comment, “I tagged you� with a link to your post on each blog.
5. Ask them 4 random questions or copy mine!

My answers.
1. I would hope they are not wearing a big flowered mumu if we are meeting a really hot nightclub.
2. I am allergic to 2 things that I know of. Peaches and albuterol.
3. I don't really care for fruit but if I have to eat some, I'd go for watermelon.
4. Hrm. I don't feel like naming names because the truth hurts people, but the quality I admire most in other people is their ability to be blissfully ignorant of the world around them. How nice it must be to not see reality and think every thing is just peachy keen all the time.

Participants.
I am not tagging anyone because people get really annoyed being tagged for memes.
I've had several people I've tagged for things tell me they don't like tags because they feel obligated to do them, so I'll just leave this open for people to do this one and participate if they use fuel my blog and feel like it.

8 more things.

You may or may not want to know.
Elizabeth at Table 4 Five, tagged me for this.

Each person posts the rules before their list, then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people and then visits those peoples’ sites and comments letting them know that they have been tagged, and to come read the post, so they know what they have to do.

I've done the 8 things meme several times now, so I figured I'd do it a little differently this time.
Instead of just 8 random facts, I figured I'd give you 8 random strange things about me.
Well, to me they are not strange, they just are, but people I've told them to call me weird, odd, strange, and look at me like I'm absolutely bonkers.

1. I do not like large groups of people unless music is involved. (ie, concerts, nightclubs etc)
2. I do not like being outdoors. At all. The sun bothers me, the heat, the wind, rain, bugs, lots of stuff. Give me a nice quiet, dark room, and I'm in pure bliss.
3. I am anally OCD about almost everything. Chairs, silverware, pens, lots of stuff.
4. I get bored very easily. I have to have constant mental stimulation. I have to be reading, or listening, or doing something at all times. I will get bored and irritated if nothing is going on.
5. I prefer to watch people do things rather than take part in them.
6. I cannot stand karaoke because most people who do it, cannot sing to save their lives. Even when just having fun, I hear every single wrong note, key, beat and tempo. It makes me angry.
7. I am honest to a fault. Being honest has made me more enemies than friends. People cannot stand that about me.
8. I prefer to be absolutely alone. I do not like going places and doing things, unless it is going to be a ton of fun. I'd rather stay home all the time than go somewhere and be bored.

So there ya go, 8 things.
I'm not tagging anyone because this meme has gone around the block more times than a hooker on payday.

8 Things.

Skeet tagged me for this one so here goes.
The rules:
Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. I hate bugs. Flying, crawling, web spinning, stinging, itch inducing, all kinds of bugs. I don't care what good they may do for the environment, I hate them all and kill them on sight.
2. My teenagers make me want to commit homicide.
3. I think summer vacation should be outlawed so parents won't get homicidal on their teenagers who are home.
4. I am horrible about answering emails and even worse with snail mail.
5. I am even worse about the phone. I don't like talking on the phone for more than 10 minutes. It annoys me.
6. I have serious OCD and people look at me like I'm crazy when I do some of my things like using paper towels to touch every thing in public restrooms. I flush the toilet using my foot rather than my hand.
7. I have noise sensitivity.
8. I can read up to 6 books at a time and not confuse any of them.

And I'm not tagging people because I hate tagging people who don't really want to be tagged and then they get mad at me cuz I tagged them. .

Interview meme.

Lisa asked me these questions, so here are my answers and a call out for anyone who may want to be interviewed by me.

1. What are your top three things that annoy you and why?
Things out of place. I have OCD pretty bad sometimes, so if my things have been moved, I get extremely annoyed.
Liars. I hate liars.
The guy next door who is a verbally abusive fuck to his family. He's so lucky I don't own a gun.

2. Why should we vote for you to be the Freakiest Blogger?
Cuz I am! *laugh* I have tats and piercings, some in places we can't talk about. I love heavy metal and horror movies, the bloodier the more I like it. I let my kids cuss at home, I have not worn a color other than black in years. I love to play horror video games and do stupid stuff in them. I find joy in watching my Sims die. I even torture them until they do. heh.
There are so many reasons I'm a freak. So just vote for me!! *laughs*

3. What is your favorite cuss word and why? (and don't you lie and say you don't swear LOL)
Fuck! I love that word. It expresses so many things. Joy, sorrow, pain, hate. It's just a fucking damn good word.

4. When are you getting a new mailbox? (Please post your photo of what your mailbox now looks like)
My poor mailbox has not been replaced yet. I have no idea when I'm getting a new one. If I wait on my landlord, I may be waiting awhile. hahahahah
Here's my mailbox. Ghetto-fied.


Clicky for supasize! hah!

5. Do you have any regrets?
None. To regret is to say you'd change how it was. I wouldn't change a single thing that has happened in my life. All of it has made me the person I am today.

And if you want to keep it going....

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your weblog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Obsession Tag.

The rules are to list five things that are my obsessions, then tag five other people and challenge them to do the same.
Ann tagged me for this one, so here it goes, and not necessarily in this order:

1. Music
2. Movies
3. Computer stuffs
4. My kids, they rule.
5. My unwavering non-faith.

Now, I'm tagging some people, if they play cool, if they don't that's cool too.

Desert Island meme.

I was tagged by weirdgrrl for this, and as promised, a little funny.
Most of the people participating in this have made some reference to Gilligan's Island.
Even weirdgrrl did.
As most of you know, I was adopted. My adoptive families proper name is Gilligan.
I was born in 1970, grew up in the 70's and 80's.
I've heard enough Gilligan's Island jokes to last me an eternity.
When applying for my first bank account around age 13 so I could deposit all my paper route earnings, I filled out the form and the bank clerk took it and walked off to enter it all in and give me my passbook.
As she walked away, she was humming the theme song.
I've heard it hummed, sung, giggled at, most of my life.
When I got married, I was thrilled to lose the last name.
When I got divorced, the ex wanted me to change it back.
No freaking way in hell buddy!
I survived the most brutal teenage high school years of my life with that last name, no way was I going to use it for the rest of my life.
__________
So anyway, on to the meme.
It appears as though I'm going to be stranded on a desert island and I get to choose my companions.
Rock!
Being stuck with people who annoy me would result in my change of heart on the idea of cannibalism.
So here's my list of 5 people I wouldn't kill and eat.

Belle- she's crafty, we get along, like the same music, and could talk for hours about everything.

Latte girl- cuz she's well read, funny, snarky, and already lives in isolation so she'd be able to cope and keep the rest of us sane.

Shell- cuz if I'm gonna be stuck somewhere, I wanna be stuck with my best friend.
Plus, she's a champion bow hunter. She could make a bow out of palm leaves and sticks. We'd be eating good stuff...LOL

Mr. Fab- cuz he's witty, funny, serious, raunchy, and just plain fun.

And lastly, Christine.
She's good at making stuff, she's a chef. She'd be able to cook up incredible stuff for us every day using whatever she could find or make us hunt for. Islands are surrounded by water, so we'd have fish. There's always birds, I'm sure they taste like chicken. Maybe wild boar, and who knows, maybe monkey tastes good too.

And I hate tagging people cuz I never know who likes to do memes and who doesn't, so it's an open call for any of my 5.

Weekend Music Meme

I was tagged by Amy Jo for this one.

The idea is to answer each question below with lyrics from a song.
Can you guess any of the artists from my answers? If so, let me know in the comments.

1.) Are you male or female?
Girls just want to have fun

2.) Describe your neighborhood:
Our house, in the middle of our street.

3.) How do you look?
Back in black

4.) If you could say something to the person you like, what would it be?
But you changed that all for me
Lifted me up, turned me round


5.) Where do you wish you were right now?
And give me back my evil heart so I can see you as you are in Maine


6.) What would you say to your best friend?
When everything is wrong I'll come talk to you
You make things alright when I'm feeling blue

7.) Any words of wisdom:
If you want to get your soul to heaven,
trust in me.
Don't judge or question.
You are broken now,
but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
Let me lay my holy hand upon you.

8.) Describe yourself:
Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.

9.) What do you think of drugs and alcohol?
I want a new drug
One that wont hurt my head
One that wont make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red

10.) If you could say one thing to your enemy, what would it be?
Someone told me once
that there's a right and wrong,
and that punishment
would come to those
who dare to cross the line.

But it must not be true
for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
but I'm tired of waiting.
Maybe it's just bullshit and I should play GOD,
and shoot you myself.*
Because I'm tired of waiting.


11.) What do you usually do on Friday nights?
Party people (hey)
It's Friday night
Gonna rock this joint until the morning light
Crowd is jumping (hey)

12.) Are you for world peace?
Give peace a chance

13.) What do you think about school?
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

14.) How do you feel right now?
A groan of tedium escapes me,
Startling the fearful.
Is this a test? It has to be,
Otherwise I can't go on.
Draining patience, drain vitality.
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old.

15.) Any closing words?
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs they make a club,
And beat their brother down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.

I'm tagging Belle, and Tasha, and Julie.

Being Grateful

My friend Marisa tagged me for this one.
Three things I'm grateful for.

1. My family. My sons may have their off days where raging, changing teenage hormones come blaring through, but they are 97% of the time, the most awesome kids on the planet.
My sister who loves me and thinks of me and the boys with sweet little gestures like today, often.
My parents for all the things the taught me like love and compassion, caring, kindness and generosity.

2. My good friends who are always there for me to cheer me up when I'm down, make me laugh, or just lend an ear.

3. My health. While I've had some very bad times with it, it's starting to look up.

I'm tagging whether they like it or not, Belle, Donna, and Jimi.

January 12, 2007

Bloggy blog questions.

1. Do you like the looks and content of your blog?
I do. I think my content is a complete representation of me at all times. Even the sponsored posts are completely me. I don't do any that would compromise myself, or my integrity.

2. Does your family know about your blog?
Yup. Mom and dad read me a few times a day.

3. Can you tell your friends about your blog?
Yes. Of course some of them have no idea what a blog is until they get here.

4. Do you just read the blogs of those who comment on your blog?
I really do try to read the blogs of everyone who stops by here. I always reply to comments and emails. It just takes me a bit sometimes to get back to everyone. I also read a lot of blogs of people who don't.

5. Did your blog positively affect your mind?
Yes. Sometimes there are negative things written on it, but negative things sometimes happen.

6. What does the number of visitors to your blog mean?
I'm far more interested in where they come from. The numbers don't really mean much, but I do enjoy seeing all the countries people are from.

7. Do you imagine what other bloggers look like?
Of course, curiosity is natural, but a lot of people post pics of themselves.

8. Do you think blogging has any real benefit?
Absolutely. There's such a variety of blogs out there and I'm sure they benefit the readers in some way. For me, it's my outlet, my place to communicate with others.

9. Do you think that the blogosphere is a stand alone community separated from the real world?
No. Blogs are so mainstream now. They are on every news website, reporters blog now! They are in newspaper columns, magazines, everywhere. We are everywhere.

10. Do some political blogs scare you? Do you avoid them?
Scare me? No. The extreme ones upset me but not scare me. I don't avoid them, but I certainly don't go seeking them out.

11. Do you think criticizing your blog is useful?
Constructive criticism is always welcomed, and I try to be constructive back with other bloggers.
But I think it's a complete waste of my time and theirs, for the negative nellies who are not trashing your blog, but you. Go get a hobby loser.

12. Have you ever thought what would happen to your blog in case you died?
Yes! I have in place an emergency blogging system (EBS). I have several friends with all the log in information, and my sister has it as well. If I die, it will get blogged...LOL

13. Which blogger has had the greatest impression on you?
I think every blogger I stay in constant contact with, has made an impression on me. I appreciate all of them.

14. Which blogger do you think is the most similar to you?
Kim. LOL!

15. Name a song you want to listen to.
I have a bunch of music I haven't listened to yet. Thanks for reminding me to burn those to disc.

Donnie Darko - The Director's Cut
Pulp Fiction (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Fight Club
A Clockwork Orange

I'm bored, entertain me with a meme.

The rules are simple, I am sending out 5 questions to Kim. That person then must post on their blog, the 5 questions plus, Kat sent these to me ( with a link to my site, http://mysinglemomlife.com/blog) and I'm sending them to blank, (with a link to their site)
Then that person must post on their blog the 5 questions plus that they got them from the person I sent them to and who they will be sending them to. Easy enough?

1. What was your given birth name? (no last names to protect identity)
2. What was your favorite childhood toy?
3. Who was your best friend in grade school?
4. Who gave you your first kiss ever?
5. Who did you have a crush on in high school?


This little game is not only a fun little filler post, but it also is a link love post. You should get a few hits from people who are visiting to see who you got it from and who you are sending it to.

Five Things You Might Not Know About Moi or Tag, you’re it!

Stolen from Brandi who stole it from Belle.

1. I have this crazy ability to remember every phone number I have ever dialed after only dialing it once.

2. I love the smell of coffee but can't stand the taste of it and can't drink it.

3. I have a birthmark in the shape of a diamond right at the bottom of my neck below my vocal cords. It's a perfect diamond shape.

5. I am insanely petrified of dying in a fire or drowning.

I'm not tagging anyone, I am just wide awake and needed something to post.

It's because people from southern Maine do not have an accent. Duh.
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
 

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

The West
 
Boston
 
North Central
 
The Inland North
 
Philadelphia
 
The South
 
The Northeast
 
What American accent do you have?

Give me a break.

Since when did participating in a meme become a requirement? Rules and codes and links and tags and oh my gosh! This person hasn't participated in months! Shoooooooot her! Shoot her now!

My sincere apologies for having my spine filleted like a fish and being given time restrictions to play on the pc.
Good fucking grief.

What was fun and I was looking forward to doing again, suddenly became a huge fucking pain in the ass with all kinds of rules and tags and stuff.
What happened to just having fun and getting to know people?

Whatever. I'm gonna go back to healing now.
Later days.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
My blue lights died so it's just white this year.

4. Do you hang mistletoe?
Nope. It's a symbol of fertility not love and I certainly don't need to be getting knocked up for xmas.

5. When do you put your decorations up?
I put them up the first week of December.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Cookies.

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
Making all those home made cookies as a family. We kinda screwed it up one year cuz mom was busy and left us 3 teens to do them and Mike and Jo deserted me for other things to do and I was high so I just threw the icing on them and left. Yes, my parents do know what happened and yes, they forgave me but still, it was shitty that I got left to do like 120 cookies by myself.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I don't remember when I learned the truth but my kids have known since about 7-8 years old and only because other people wouldn't let me tell them the truth. I hate lying to my kids about even simple things like this. There's no easter bunny or tooth fairy either folks. Quit lying to your kids.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
We open one Christmas eve and teh rest Christmas morning.

10. What kind of cookies does Santa get set out for him?
None, there is no Santa Claus.

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
I like the way it looks but ever so happy to be living in Florida where we don't get it and have to shovel it and trudge through it and scrape it off of cars and wear boots to go out in it. Yeah, I hate it.

12. Can you ice skate?
No.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
Yes, it was a Baby Beth doll that in later years my sister painted "hooker" make up on.

14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
Being with my little family and seeing them be happy.

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Cookies. I hate pie.

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Watching horror movies all day with the teens and laughing.

17. What tops your tree?
This year it's a lighthouse that lights up.

18. Which do you prefer Giving or Receiving?
Giving.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Carol?
It changes year to year but this year I am playing Carol of the bells by the Trans Siberian Orchestra with Metallica. Don't be a dick, always right click or Santa will leave deer turds in your stocking.

20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?
Yuck.

What kind of humanist are you?

Haymaker




You are one of life’s enjoyers, determined to get the most you can out of your brief spell on Earth. Probably what first attracted you to atheism was the prospect of liberation from the Ten Commandments, few of which are compatible with a life of pleasure. You play hard and work quite hard, have a strong sense of loyalty and a relaxed but consistent approach to your philosophy.

You can’t see the point of abstract principles and probably wouldn’t lay down your life for a concept though you might for a friend. Something of a champagne humanist, you admire George Bernard Shaw for his cheerful agnosticism and pursuit of sensual rewards and your Hollywood hero is Marlon Brando, who was beautiful, irascible and aimed for goodness in his own tortured way.

Sometimes you might be tempted to allow your own pleasures to take precedence over your ethics. But everyone is striving for that elusive balance between the good and the happy life. You’d probably open another bottle and say there’s no contest.

What kind of humanist are you? Click here to find out.

Silly stuff.

Find the hidden meaning of your name.

Birth name, Kathleen:

Energetic and courageous you stand up for your beliefs and for what you desire. You are independent, strong willed and fiercely competitive when needed although your ambition is tempered with patience. You maintain a positive attitude and with a more organised or practical approach to life material success is very likely. Your immensely loving and generous nature brings joy into peoples lives and ensures your happiness.

What I'm called, Kat:

With your witty, knowledgeable conversation and enthusiastic, adventurous nature you are much admired by the opposite sex and enjoy many varied experiences in life. Being so versatile and intelligent you are extremely creative but you have a short attention span if you are not being stimulated intellectually. Restless and energetic you are a natural risk taker and love to travel and broaden your horizons. Freedom is essential.

Both pretty accurate.

Concert meme

Here is how it works. Copy this list. Leave in the bands you've seen perform live. Delete the ones you haven't and add new ones that you have seen until you reach 25. One asterisk means the previous person had it on their list. Two asterisks means the last two people who did this before you had that band on their list. You add an asterisk if you have seen the same as me.
