Get to know me!

In true retro-blogging form, I’m stealing Kacy’s idea of 100 Things, More or Less, About Me, she recently stole from other sources, and has perfected as an art form (Seriously, have you read her archives?).

Here are some random things about me:

I love flocked and fake looking Christmas trees best. In fact, Topher recently realized, as I was describing my perfect tree, that I want the kind they make fun of in The Charlie Brown Christmas special: shiny, commercialized, fake, and metal.

I am suspicious of people who don’t regularly clean their own toliets. Like, themselves.

I had a babysitter who never wore shoes and always brought a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and a bottle of Pepsi to our house every single time she came to babysit. She never offered to share any of those food items, but I don’t blame her for that now. I later babysat for her kids once and her husband told me an offensive joke (mostly inappropriate because it wasn’t funny) on the drive home and when I didn’t laugh (again, not funny), he then immediately apologized and they never asked me to babysit again. That was the last I ever heard of either one of them.

I am never “baby hungry” when I have a toddler.

It bothers me a lot when people sing inappropriate musical numbers at Church.

Although I am “a hugger,” all of my closest friends are “non-huggers.”

My biggest cleaning tip is to throw away stuff which I secretly think is cheating. I’m such a rebel!

I was in a movie with William Shatner, but I’ve never met him.

I routinely think of opening statements I would use to introduce myself to celebrities. To William Shatner I would say, “Hey, we’re in a movie together and we’ve never even met!”

I like to make faces, particularly this face (I think it properly expresses how I feel most of the time):

This face expresses a feeling/word I have not found yet, but will continue searching for:

And this is my “Oh, bless your heart!” face I like to find occasion for at least once a day:

    I am from the south and “Bless your heart” can be both a phrase of empathy and endearment as well as a kick in the tooshie. In a nice southern way, of course. You can say anything despitfully mean like, “He has gained like 100 lbs. since high school” as long as you follow it with “bless his heart”. It almost sounds like a compliment! Its like icing a cow pattie. And I’d give you a hug if we were friends. Oh, and those babysitting folks sound like real wackadoos, bless their hearts.

    That’s my favorite way to clean! I’m known to say “just throw it away!” a little too much.
    Oh, and speaking of inappropriate music at church, tell Topher that I walked by another wards Gospel Doctrine class during our Sacrament meeting and heard music. . .I stopped, and it was. . .”Christmas Shoes.” I’m not even kidding.

    Lisa, Of course you know that if you ever REALLY needed me to hold you in my arms–I would.

    Funny girl. Your last face quite resembles that blonde girl on HS Musical 1-3. Love your faces. Haha!

    Wendy, PERFECT example. I couldn’t have made up a better example of what I’m talking about.

    Josh and I ne’er can hear “Mary, Did You Know?” without thinking of the teenage girl that sang it in the pulpit microphone just like Britney Spears — breathy gasps and all. And ditto to Kacy’s comment.

    Our personal favorite was the family of little girls who could all play the violin. But instead they chose to sing “Dear Mr. Jesus.” *sigh*


  8. And you are wondering what these townspeople are complaining about? http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=17068291&ch=4226713
    Me too. :)

    I will throw away entire bags without looking in them.
