On doing something I rarely ever do

Posted on August 26, 2008
Filed Under meme me |

Today, I cried over three separate, unrelated to me things. That’s something I rarely do anymore. Cry, that is. That whore Flo must be right around the corner, or something. And then there’s the fact that Hockeyman tagged me in a meme. And I rarely do those. But whatever. Let’s go.

I’m supposed to do eight, and to tag eight people. I’m not going to, cuz that’s like, thinking and I don’t think so well, lately.

4 things I’m passionate about (read: give a shit about, on a daily basis)

food-mind-body connections
reading and learning
Isobel
friends (aka, pretty much, family)

4 books I’ve read and worshipped

Now, More, Again
Lullabies for Little Criminals
Go Ask Alice
Diary of Anne Frank

4 words/phrases I say often

Seriously (insert appropriate period, question mark, exclamation point, as context allows)
I can’t understand what you’re saying when you talk in that tone, please use your words and stop whining or my brain, it will just explode.
Can I please have a tall, non-fat, no whip, white mocha?
Eh?

4 things I want to do before I die

Graduate from something
Fall in love, really.
See an adult Isobel be happy in life, in general
Weigh over 115 pounds and be proud of it

4 things I’ve learned in life

Everything’s a lesson, nothing comes without a message
Thinking, growing up with boys and men only wanting to fuck you? Really leads you to think that all boys and men want from you is to fuck you. And then, it’s really hard to deal with it when they don’t. Or to believe that they could also care, in addition to wanting to fuck you.
Children can teach their parents so much more, potentially, than a parent can teach a child. Teach a child to learn and sit back while they explore. It’s astounding.
Tell the truth, even it if makes people uncomfortable. Cuz there’s nothing worse than having your back against a wall going, "well, uh…"

4 places I want to see

the Himalayas
the top of the Grouse Grind
New York City
a wedding aisle (bridesmaid, Maid of honour, bride, whatever. I just wanna be dressed up, walking down an aisle.)

Xbox, I’m not sure a pallbearer in a wedding dress would be entirely appropriate

“I can’t understand what you’re saying when you talk in that tone, please use your words and stop whining or my brain, it will just explode. ” I must remember that line!

I loved lullabies for little criminals - must get it back off my mum and read again.

HA! If you’re a pallbearer in my funeral, I want you in a wedding dress. That would be awesome in some dark and twisted kind of way. I want everyone in crazy outfits drinking lots of booze.

Three of your four books are my absolute favourites. I have not heard of the first. Who is the author? I’d love to pick it up.
