Meme O' the Day

Thanks, P, and your original source for this Meme. Good one!

What were you doing 10 years ago?

I moved to Richmond for the first time and got an apartment with Bean. Ten years later, I am still in Richmond, and rent a house with Bean. I don't like change. haha As to what I was DOING, well, I was substitute teaching during the day and working at Wal Mart at night (in Electronics). Good times. (Easy access to all of the latest toys...)

What were you doing 1 year ago?

A year ago I worked on the Innovations Team at CC, and Emails were still done in India (thank God for the end of outsourcing! One thing CC did right lately). I was anticipating the birth of my nephew, and nearly dying of grass fumes as I mowed the lawn all summer. haha

Five snacks you enjoy

Well, my current diet does not allow for snacks. So, I do not eat any. But when I did, I came to like healthier things.

1) Dole Fruit Parfaits. The peaches and creme were/are AWESOME.
2) Cheez-its. Bread, sure. But, baked cheesy Goodness.
3) Planters mixed nuts. Nuts are really, really good for you. Ignore the 'fat' they have, cause it's 'good' fat. Seriously. I study up on this stuff.
4) A tiny bit of dark chocolate is good for you too. :)
5) Chocolate covered raisins. I could live off 'em!


Five songs you know all the lyrics to

1) All Tori Amos songs
2) All Madonna songs
3) All U2 songs
4) All Alanis Morissette songs
5) All 80's pop

Seriously, Bean and I kick ass at Karaoke. haha

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire

1) Buy a nice, modest home in The West End.
2) Put a real movie theater in said home.
3) Pay for Bree and Calvin's college education, all of it
4) Give back to my parents for all they've given me
5) Travel, all over the world, non-stop, until I have seen it ALL.

Five bad habits

1) Making lists. hahaha (It's an OCD thing, seriously)
2) Complusive cleaning and hand-washing (much better now; thanks, therapy!)
3) Compulsive collecting (But, I NEEEED another Darth Vader figure! I NEEED it!)
4) Compulsive eating: SUGAR. But I am strong on this diet. Just now, they brought in BOXES of doughnuts, and I will not eat any. I will not.
5) Fidgeting with my hair. Bad habit from childhood. I do it without thinking. It's a wonder I have any hair left. haha

Five things you like doing

1) Um...Don't read this, children. haha JK. I wouldn't know about THAT.
2) WRITING!! My greatest love in life. Next to God and Family.
3) Movies-anything to do with movies. I will watch any kind. Except porn. Can't stomach degrading crap.
4) Playing with/making over my cat. She calms me many days, just with a purr.
5) Exercise on the treadmill. I don't do it as often as I should, but I love my treadmill, when I use it.

Five things you would never wear again

1) Suspenders. haha Thanks, 80's!
2) Acid-washed jeans. This will be a list of 80's fashion wrecks. You had to love them, though.
3) Mirrored Wayfarer shades. I bought them from a vendor in New York City. That's why I thought they were the coolest ever. Turns out, NYC can do better. ;)
4) A Van Halen shirt with the lyrics from 'Poundcake' on it. What a bunch of sexist drivel.
5) Anything neon. Lordy!

Five favourite toys

1) Does my 65 inch television count? Damn straight!
2) My Star Wars toy collection. I have, like, 500-ish figures, every Hoth playset I could afford, Wampas, Tauntauns, mini-ships..oh, and my very favorite piece in the collection-my AT-AT!
3) My Ripley action figures. They're still in the package. They're just cool.
4) My Poe and Shakespeare action figures. Need I say more?
5) Stuffed animals-especially lions and tigers.


Ah, that was fun!
I could probably list 20 favorite toys. I didn't even mention my digital camera and my laptop! Or my Superman figures. Or my Hulk figure. Or Star Trek. Or Homer and Bart. Damn. I have a lot of toys! Toys are fun.

;)

Have a great day, All.
