• Jurgen Nation . Com: “Six Ways to Sunday: Or, a Meme Re Six Things About Me”

Oh… this meme doesn’t die. IT JUST WON’T DIE.

Last time I saw it, it was just a wee little meme, asking me to reveal a mere five little known things about me. I remember seeing it and thinking, “SO CUTE! Five things! That’s just freaking ADORABLE! Here ya go, ya little scamp. Now go and play. Ahhh… memes today.”

But now… it’s grown. Evolved. MUTATED.

Six things. SIX.

About me.

[Shudder.]

Fine then, Stacy. You asked for it…

SIX THINGS THAT YOU IN ALL LIKELIHOOD DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT ME BUT DIDN’T MAKE AN APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE BUT WILL NOW FILL YOUR BRAIN LIKE THE CRUD THAT WOULD COLLECT IN THE SEAMS OF YOUR JEANS’ POCKETS IF YOU WERE IN THE HABIT OF STORING MUFFINS IN YOUR JEANS’ POCKETS EVEN THOUGH THAT’S REALLY NOT ADVISABLE BUT NOW I REALLY WANT A MUFFIN

1. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only have one CD with me, I would take The Stones Roses first album. (However, I would eventually fashion it into some sort of crude fishing implement, because a CD on a desert island with no CD player? Awwwwwkward.)
2. I can actually tell which of our cats threw-up just by looking at the throw-up in question. It’s like really gross fingerprints.
3. I have a series of very faint scars on my right middle finger. From the time I stuck my hand in a blender. At the age of 23. Sober. (Don’t ask.)
4. It took me over a year before I realised that the “pod” in “podcast” referred to iPods. I thought it was an oblique reference to Invasion of The Body Snatchers. Really.
5. I once created a miniature cable car system off of our eleventh floor balcony. I took some kite string, tied it to the balcony, and dropped the rest down to the ground. Then I went downstairs, grabbed the string, carried it across the street, down the block, and tied it to a lamp post. Then I went back upstairs. There, I created a small cable car out of a plastic pop bottle (a little seat, wings, lightning bolts, that sort of thing). Then I untied the string on the balcony, threaded it through the bottle, and then retied it to the balcony. Then I tied a different piece of kite string (where did I get all the kite string?) to the end of the bottle. Then I put my teddy bear in the seat and tied him in place. Then I released the whole thing over the edge. Once it had finished sliding over the street and down the block and hit the lamp post, I grabbed on the second piece of string and slowly reeled it back in. And then I did it again. And again. And again. (Eventually, I discovered that a variety of adults were less than pleased with my creation.) I was seven years old.

   (That may have been the coolest thing I have ever done.)

6. I actually hate bean salad.

And now, in time-honoured tradition, I must inflict tag others with this meme.

I name: Mabel, lightspring, Suldog, aaaaaaaand… all my homeys over at Indiebloggers. Have at it.
