one hundred things – part 1

I thought that I’d do a random 100 Things About Me meme to kill some time on Mondays. I really want to keep blogging every day, but on some days, I have little inspiration for things to blog about or I can’t/don’t want to share what’s going on in my world. So, unless something fabulous or Earth shattering happens on meme days, a meme is what you’ll get. It could be worse folks – long time readers know how I can miserably go on bitching about things…

But, this does mean that it’s a possibility that I will post more than once on meme days. It IS a possibility… stop shaking your head!

So, over the next 10 weeks, every Monday you’ll get 10 random things about me.

***************

1. What was the last thing you threw into a trashcan? A random little piece of blue styrofoam; possibly it was from a mushroom carton thingy.
2. When was the last time you ate cake, and what sort of cake was it? Well, the official day of eating cake was Friday, in celebration of a friend’s birthday and it was Thai Tea Cake. However, I had another piece of it on Saturday.
3. Do you believe in reincarnation? What were you in a former life? Yes – it’s hard to deny given that I have vivid memories and physical (almost limbic) responses to certain situations similar to those in past lives. I’ve been many things and many different things to many people, but being a mermaid was the best!
4. What is the closest object to your left hand? My left hand! Oh, you wanted me to say, “the keyboard”.
5. A friend calls you up and says, “Hey, me and some of my buddies are headed your way for a . Can we crash at your place Saturday night?” What do you say… yes; no; depends on how many people they’re bringing? Despite what you’d tell this friend of yours, if you made the effort, how many people could you accommodate for a one-night sleep over? More than likely I’d say yes. But only for the one night, and if some of them didn’t mind sleeping on the floor. We could easily house a small army – about a dozen w/ six of them on beds/bed-like objects. Well, actually, we could find floor space for more than six, so maybe even more than a dozen. We could probably manage an insane two dozen extra people for one night, but I’d need a couple bottles of wine and a huge spliff to make it through – just saying…
6. Quick, I need to suggest a book for my guys & gals book club. What title should I assign to everyone to read (for the month of June)? Bunnicula, by James Howe. Yes, I realize it’s a children’s book, but it’s a fantastic commentary on human behavior – how we jump to conclusions based on very little information. One of my favorite books and one that I’ve read several times as a child and as an adult. I’ve also enjoyed several of the other books in the series, which might be good for your book club as well since most people could read Bunnicula in an hour.
7. If you were asked by a toothpaste manufacturer to come up with a new flavor, what would be your top three suggestions? 1.) as flavorless as possible 2.) lavender-hemp 3.) chrysanthemum-chamomile. (my g-d, I am truly a hippie. I guess I might as well have said, “dirt, grass & clouds”)
8. When you’re on a horse farm and you want to get a horse’s attention, you make a clicking sound with your mouth. What sort of sound would I need to make to get your attention? The crunch of walking on dry Autumn leaves. The whirring of an espresso machine making the perfect cappuccino.
9. What would the US postal stamp commemorating you and your life portray? I’d rather not answer this one… or maybe I just need to think about it for awhile longer.
10. I’m headed to the grocery store. Is there anything I can get for you? Onions, mustard, bagels, vegan cream cheese, bok choy, chard, leeks and chocolate. Actually, I’d rather just go myself, but thanks a lot, Love. Maybe I can ride with you?
