May 18, 2006 4:47 PM- the stolen meme

Ha. Just when you think you've got me all figured out, "oh she's the kind who won't do memes." I go and STEAL one. From Miss Zoot.

Face it, I'll always surprise you.

I AM: so much less drunk than I used to be.

I SAID: Tom Cruise was gay when we exited the theater from The Firm in 1993. And, that his marriage to Nicole was a sham?to cover his homosexuality and to help her career. Why can't I make money from such clairvoyance?

I WANT: to have eased someone else?s pain.

I WISH: I could spend my days with T and the dogs because our bank account grew magically without any need for me to go to work.

I HATE: the haters.

I MISS: the way I could laugh with Stacey, my best friend from 5th and 6th grade, when we watched The Carol Burnett show re-runs and laughed until we cried.

I FEAR:

I HEAR: my mother?s voice and something inside me melts.

I WONDER: if I?m gonna be happy with the choices I?ve made when I?m about to die.

I REGRET: it took me so long to get my act together.

I AM NOT: afraid to voice my truths.

I DANCE: but thank god I?ve never seen a video of me dancing.

I SING: in the car if I need to stay awake.

I AM NOT ALWAYS: smart. (READ: often stupid).

I MADE: quilts for everyone but me.

I WRITE: because when the pen is on the page I never want to stop.

I CONFUSE: easily.

I NEED: luxury.

I SHOULD: be good at something, alas.

I START: my day saying thank you.

I FINISH: your dessert.

I BELIEVE: what is right for me is more than likely not right for you.

I KNOW: some celebrities, but I don?t know any celebrities I?d want to share a cab with.

I CAN: cast love spells.

I CAN?T: seem to break the spell I cast on my husband no matter what I do.

I SEE: beauty everywhere.

I BLOG: for free.

I READ: but I don?t always finish.

I AM AROUSED BY: the promise of a trip to Paris.

IT PISSES ME OFF: that the universe erases our brains when we re-enter this world. So unfair. It takes SO FFFing long to find our path again and then, wham?old and dead. Why can?t I ever have it all together AND be 19? I ask you.

I FIND: rocks and stones and line them across my windowsills.

I LIKE: waking up early.

I LOVE: New Mexico.



got 2 cents?

First off, I love all that you revealed of yourself in this post. I can really get a mental picture of you, and I like it. Secondly, I feel as though lots of that stuff is (about reentering the world) is finally being re-revealed to me and that's fun but weird, too. Maybe I wouldn't have really appreciated it when I was young and it was handed to me. I have learned so much. Thirdly, I feel like I have fallen off the edge of the (blog) world. The weather has been downright HOT here and the garden has been growing like the proverbial weed (and let me tell you, the weeds are driving me crazy). I'll try to ease back in...

I FINISH: your dessert. Why does a woman always eat a salad because a burger would "go to her hips," and then finish your dessert?

Omigosh, Carol Burnett was one of the first funny shows I was ever aware of. I remember being in elementary school and rushing home after school to watch it on TBS!

nichole says:
that's probably one of the better MEMEs I have ever seen. it actually stirs me to do it myself. (and soley because of you I might add) but like someone else said above, i will probably pale in comparision. (( sigh ))

I sat and stared at the emptiness after I FEAR. I have more to fill in there than I care to admit. And that blankness here reminded me that I can get there...

I had it all together when I was 19, but then it all fell apart until I was about 25 or so. OK, 30. It fell apart again until I was 30. Fine, truth be told, it was 33. Or maybe 34. Or 35. Oh wait, I'm not even 35 yet. But 35's going to be the year it all comes together for me. I can feel it.

Sure, I got 2 cents. I've heard it all. You should hear me sing. When you do, you'll know I really have heard it all. Paul P.S. Spamming requires an auto responder.
