Meme #2: That’s So Random!

The second meme of the day comes courtesy of Sal from Everyday Thoughts from Life.

THE RULES:

1. LINK TO THE PERSON WHO TAGGED YOU
2. POST THE RULES ON YOUR BLOG
3. WRITE SIX RANDOM THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF
4. TAG SIX PEOPLE AT THE END OF YOUR POST AND LINK TO THEM
5. LET EACH PERSON KNOW THEY ARE TAGGED AND LEAVE A COMMENT ON THEIR BLOG
6. LET THE TAGGER KNOW WHEN YOUR ENTRY IS UP
7. DON’T BREAK THE CHAIN (not actually a rule)

1. I have some weird…thing…for bacon, and am in the midst of preparing a massive Bacon Smackdown post for Modern Materialist. Some of the things I have tried already? A bacon chocolate bar and bacon in a can. What I look forward to trying? A maple-bacon lollipop and a bacon-scented candle (if only they had maple-bacon-scented…). This is all very exciting and scary.

2. Back in high school, I made the NJ All-State Chorus, and it made me realize that I could actually do something with this voice of mine. I began taking voice lessons, I appeared in all the high school musicals, and I became the student director of the school’s elite a cappella singing group. When it came time to apply for schools, I applied for one. As a vocal major. When my acceptance letter finally came in the mail, it said that my school of choice was thrilled to be accepting me early decision…as a journalism major. My second choice. And…well…here I am.

3. One time, while driving out of the mall parking lot, a bee flew in my window and landed on my steering wheel and I freaked the eff out! I recklessly pulled back into the lot, pulled diagonally into two spots, put the car in park before I’d fully stopped, and leapt out of the car, proceeding to jog around it and wave my hands in the air like a crazy person. A man in the distance — looking somewhat concerned, but keeping his distance — asked me if I needed any help. He seemed way relieved when I told him I was fine.

4. I used to keep tubs of frosting, and a spoon, under my bed when I was young. I had to sneak it! I was sugar-deprived! My parents kept the Frosted Flakes in a separate cabinet, telling me and my brother that it was an adult cereal. They would also only let us have soda on weekends.

5. For some reason, I always have “Kokomo” in my head. That or “Circle of Life.”

6. I have an E.T. doll. I’ve had him for many years. Like, my entire life. His skin is all loved off, and there are band-aids around his wrists, and my parents had to stick a pencil inside his neck so that his head wouldn’t fall off. To secure this, they sewed him a neck brace. I made them fringe the ends, so that it looked more like a scarf. This was recent. He is my most prized possession. Him and my 25-odd photo albums.

Okay guys, some of you are getting hit twice: Kristine of teleTwenties, Jenny of The Golden Pencil, JR of JR’s Not So Literal Logging, Susan of The Urban Muse, Katy from Trapped in the Office, and Lori from Words on the Page.

Oh, and I’m totally not doing rules # 5 & 6, because I’m totally not here right now.

Comments

  1. Nice! I always get Hakuna Matata suck in my head. Usually followed by an almost (note that almost is the key word here) irristable urge to eat bugs.

    Oh, and by the way, the whole bee thing, not at all “odd”, what is odd is seeing someone at a distance walk through a spider web and start flailing around like there is a huge black widow on them or something.

    One other thought on your bacon thing, Food Network has a show called Dinner Impossible. The chef did a chocolate dipped piece of bacon with crushed walnuts on top. From what I hear it was pretty amazing.

    Apparently I like to answer things in reverse. See ya around!
