It's all about ME to the 2nd power!!! (because I can't get blogger to do the "squared" "2") And yes, I'm aware I look like a prissy-pants Kellie-Martin, circa Life Goes On in this picture. See?
But she really did play a good prissy-pants.
I've been meme'd for the first time! I need to stop humming Madonna, because that seems creepy. Hillary over at 2 L's Please has tagged me and I'm going to fulfill my duty.
1. What prompted you to start blogging?
At first, I wanted to use it as a journal. But my life is a bit boring and I didn't like the idea of posting things like: "I couldn't find my good bra so I'm wearing the hurt-y bra today. Where are my keys? I like cookies." So, I decided to be the public (yet semi-pretty-much-anonymous) smart ass that I've dreamed of being since I was about 10.
2. Have you ever been the victim of a crime?
Yes. Dane Cook stole one hour of my life while I watched his Comedy Central Special. Also, someone stole 4 tickets for "A Christmas Carol" from my desk last December. A cop came to my workplace and I had to fill out a statement and everything. It was very CSI. But, I'm pretty sure stolen theater tickets are the opposite of a triple homicide.
3. Have you ever witnessed someone else being the victim of a crime?
Yup. I was in
4. What is your favorite color? Why?
It depends on what it's for. I like the color Periwinkle, because it's fun to say. I love to wear red and black (not at the same time). I like the look of celedon-green (or what my husband lovingly refers to as puke-green) and white for room colors. I like pink cupcakes. I really like deep plum for nail polish (except for when I paint my nails black for when I rock-out at Show Choir Competitions).
5. What talent or skill would you most like to have, that you feel you don't have?
The ability to post each day. How the heck do some of you people do it?? I have to be in the mood. I could probably manage a daily, bullet-pointed post of what I ate during the past 24 hours, but I'll spare you. Unless it was like Sweet-Fancy-Moses (thanks again Meg) good.
6. If you could go back and do one thing over in your life, what would it be? Would you make a change, or do everything exactly the same?
I'd make sure to choose and stick with (important!) a major in college.
Eleventy-hundred-eighty credits and seven and a half years later, making the rounds of my home state's university system and my name on ONE bachelor's degree to show for it? Priceless. (Please note that financial-aid defines priceless as "still having a balance of many dollars")
7. What do you consider your most attractive asset? (Hair, legs, smile, etc.)
My eyes and not my butt.
8. When do you feel the most vulnerable?
In all seriousness, right after I hit "Publish Post"--I get a bit panicky.
9. If you were a rap star, what would your stage name be?
O-zizzle Thinkizzle, and I would spell it out in Chuck E Cheese coins so they would know I have street cred (please ignore previous references to something called a show choir)
10. What is your favorite curse word?
New Swear Words
I'm going to have to go with #2 in combination with the "watching-you" hand gesture.
Use it in a sentence and tag five other bloggers you'd like to answer the same questions:
I'm going to be a rebel and not tag anyone. Not for any other reason besides the people I would tag have already been tagged or they've said something like I hate being meme'd with the power of a thousand burning suns. But I still need to use the word in a sentence....hmm...how about, I have a tendency to watch my comment-counter like a S***-Hawk. I'm a very boring S***-Hawk.
To encourage commenter interaction, how about you all share your favorite book or play. Oh I'm kidding....ohh I've got it:
What is something you really like, but you lie about liking, and instead say you like something else, just so people won't think you're weird? (I've inserted commas so your eyes can uncross.)

20 Charitable Assessment(s):
I just want to know where the hell this word "meme" comes from. Is it short for something? It reminds me of that one muppet guy, Beaker, who talks like this, "Meme meme meme meme..."
Let's see, do I like something but am ashamed to admit it? No, I don't think so. For instance, I totally admit to loving American Idol and Eltion John (albeit early, pre-90's panty-waist Elton John).
Meme is a pukey-cutesy name for a self-absorbed list that's all about "ME(me)"...A memo about meme, if you will.
I LOVE Elton John--regardless of the decade. And I loved American Idol, circa Kelly Clarkson, but I haven't seen it lately.
and who didn't love the crap out of Becca on Life Goes On?!?!? :)
And do you remember her huge red glasses? I might have possibly had a pair like that. Possibly. Yes.
Favourite book: Dangerous Angels by Francesca Lia Block. (Sorry had to answer that one!)
Talk Shows. But only the good ones, like Maury Povich :D
LOL...
I admit to everything I love no matter how geeky it makes me sound.
Like the fact I was in band in high school... one time in band camp...
I really liked this meme. It was fun to read.
Meg: HaHa---"only the good ones"...
Bridge: I'm glad you liked the meme and I hope you had tons of fun at band camp and that you did NOT play the flute :-)
i also feel so super vulnerable after i hit "publish"! and i would give anything to blog everyday too. i can't get myself to do it. i think it's because my life is just NOT that interesting!
I adore your glasses.
I will always see Kelly as being Christie from those TV movies. I used to love those!
I lie about hating to watch TV. I actually love watching TV I just won't admit it because then I am worried me and my other half will start watching TV all the time. I like that we only watch one or two shows a week.
I tend to get a stupid grin on my face whenever I am watching a cheesy/sappy part of a movie and then when someone asks me why I'm smiling at the cheesiness I say "What? What are you talking about? I'm just trying to get something out of my teeth." To sum it up- I love cheese, but pretend like I'm too cool for it. Oh- and I also cried during The Lord of the Rings when Aragorn says to the Hobbits "You bow to no one my friends..." In fact, I'm getting a tear in my eye just thinking about it...
i used to have writers remorse after publishing a post... it gets better with time, you'll see.
Well done, you witty woman! I always thought meme came from the French for "same" a la meme chose,
The only time I felt vulnerable after hitting publish was when I wrote about my parent's marriage breaking up. Because some family members read my blog.
you's way better looking that than spineless hobag kellie martin.
just sayin.
Ha ha, I love the colour Periwinkle because when I was a kid, our pediatrician called my brother's dangly bits his periwinkle. It was a very confusing time for me, when I saw the periwinkle crayon in my 64-box. Now it just makes me giggle.
oooh and the thing I like but lie about liking .... "The Hills" ... I can't believe I just admitted that.
Thanks for the "new swear words." I personally like the last one the best.
Nice Sat. morning giggle (or spitting out coffee laugh).
Oh, #8 spoke to my heart. The fear!
Sweet post, you witty, witty woman :)
All along I thought you were Kelli Martin. You mean you aren't?
Dear Over-Thinker,
Please will you come back?
Sincerely,
Hillary
Oh good grief, pretty much everything on my DVR menu is stuff I'd be ashamed to show to my friends. The OC, Gossip Girl, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, American Idol. I love me some bad TV but pretend to be erudite and all PBS, C-Span, Food Network when I'm with people who don't know who Kim Kardashian is.
