Dear Amy has tagged me for a meme, a meme of 6 odd things or habits about me. This is rather similar to a meme I did recently and tagged her for, but I’ll let that slide. Especially since when I tagged her I inadvertently said she was coalescing, rather than convelescing.Â
Y’all? I’m finding that hysterical, and I’m more than a little sad someone didn’t point it out earlier….
So, weird things.
1. I love brushing my teeth. Love it. Once in college, while rather drunk, I proclaimed tooth brushing to be better than sex. Which, I suppose, indicates that I am either doing one very poorly or the other extremely well.
2. I cannot bear typos in published books or articles. It sets my teeth on edge and immediately makes me discount the credibility of the author.
3. Tonight I am going to a Mardi Gras party after work. Apparently in a TURTLENECK because I am lacking in the arena of planning ahead… I am the most chaste of the chaste Mardi Gras partiers.
4. I used to be wildly addicted to caffiene and felt the hands of Death around my aching, aching head if I hadn’t had a good 20 ounces or more of strong black coffee by 10:00 or 11:00 am. The combined efforts of the horrendous coffee served in my office and my lazy, lazy ass preferring to just use my one-cup maker at home rather than get up early enough to go to Starbucks has whittled this down to a manageable one cup addiction.  And then tea in the afternoon.
5. We eat a lot at my office. In a New Year’s Resolution-type fit, I proclaimed that I would no longer eat things people brought in that were not homemade. Then someone brought cupcakes from a boutique bakery. And the Girl Scout cookies arrived. Well, shit.
6. I fantasize about what I would name certain pets if I had them. Every time I hear a name (or a phrase that could be molded into a name), I think about the pet I could name that. Current favorites include Sgt. Pickles for a petite grey cat and Thelonius for my fantasy French bulldog.Â
i really wish that i’d noticed that I was coalescing. because I would’ve worked harder at it.
sorry about tagging you for the same thing you tagged me for. while i was recovering, I took a lot of drugs and really have no idea what I said/did. It’s really rather like being a member of the Sex Pistols 
have fun at your nun-party tonight!
It’s ok, I have a LOT of eccentricities
man, i’m with you on the typos in books things. it immediately makes me think less of the author, editor and publisher.
Ladies, I’ve dropped the ball on both of your memes… I will try and rectify this situation. Is it okay if I do one post for both? (Lazy, lazy blogger!)
I am the same way on typos, grammatical faux pas, etc. — ouch! I try not to bug people unless I’m being paid to.
Thanks for your advice about my poor kitty — he is a week or two shy of his 20th birthday and has the standard set of old-cat ailments, so things may or may not go well, but we won’t give up until he does.
My meme’s up!
