A meme that might be a little too on base

I saw this over at Chicky Chicky Baby and thought what the hell.  Turns out, it’s spot on for me.  Even more weird, if I could meet anyone in the world in show business, it would have been Marilyn.  If I had an idol, which I’m not sure I do, it would be Marilyn or Princess Diana.  I’m not sure which.  They’re both so similar is it eerie and I see some of me in each of them.

Let’s play a game

Describe me in one word… just one single word.

If you want to do this on your blog, let me know. I’ll come and describe you too. 

A meme, because I am lazy and unoriginal

I was this over at Finn?s. I?m bored and lazy and cannot think of anything good to post.  You can do it too.  The rules can be found here and, there are many questions to choose from.  I?m being lazy brave and answering all of them. 

What makes your blog unique? Nothing.  My blog is unique, just like any other blog out there. 

When did you start blogging?  A couple of years ago.  I had just moved from my home town to a big city, a city whose population equals that of the entire STATE I grew up in.  I needed somewhere to put my thoughts, bitches, moans and feelings because I would NEVER say any of what I put here, in real life.  Okay, I wouldn?t say most of it. 

Is this your first meme?  Oh, hell no.

What do you hope to accomplish with your blog?  My sanity.

What are your feelings on the “blog popularity” issue?  I think deep down, we all want to be popular.  We want to have a following and readership that would enable us to blog and support our family.  Personally, I don’t care.  I blog for my blogging audience who love me me.  Really though, who writes a blog and doesn’t hope for a readership and following?  Although, if I weren’t a lazy fuck (see below), I would actually go out and read and comment on other blogs and perhaps build up my readership.  But I don’t.

What’s your favorite childhood memory?  My childhood sucked ass.  But I do have some good memories.  I remember being able to walk to school, by myself from kindergarten through third grade.  Then everything changed. 

If you were stranded on a deserted island what three things would you want to have with you?  Why does everyone ask this?  Like it sheds some profound light on my inner being?  I?d bring my toothbrush, a razor and a telephone so I could call when I was ready to come home. 

Are you a spiritual person?  Define spiritual. 

Do your moral values affect the way that you blog, and if yes, how?  No. I blog because I have shit to say or because I?m bored or because I want too.  It has nothing to do with my morals.  At least, I don?t think so.

What is the weirdest thing that ever happened to you?  There was this one time, in band camp?.  Oh, wrong venue.  The weirdest thing?  Hmm, I?ve had some downright mean, creepy, and wrong things happen to me.  But Weird?  I guess, there was this one time, when I was working at the convenience store.  I was off that night but my roommate was the graveyard guy so I was going down to talk to him and the store was just trashed.  The counter was tipped on its side.  Magazines, gum and cigarettes were everywhere.  The manager pulled just then so we went in together.  Apparently, some guy was pissed because he couldn?t buy beer (since it was after 2:00 a.m.) and so he went about trashing the store.  My roommate, we?ll call him, roommate, well, he was a big pussy so he ran in the office and called the police and the manager while the guy threw his fit. 

Anyway, when we had to lock the place up and wait for the police and the district supervisor.  They treated the incident like a robbery.  As customers would pull up, I was at the door telling them we were closed.  Some were cool but some were pissed.  ?You can?t close.  You?re open 24 hours a day? and I was like, wtf?  But this one guy, he shows up, by now it is like, 4:45 a.m. on a Sunday morning.  The police are leaving and we?ve up righted the counter and put the register back together and the cigarettes/gum/magazines are all put away.  We haven?t unlocked the doors yet because there are a few more things to do, and this guy is pounding on the door.  I didn?t even see him coming.  He was dirty and mangy looking.  I didn?t see a car anywhere so he must have walked up. He wasn?t wearing any shoes.  He had a beard that would rival the front guys for ZZ Top but was bald on top.  We were located across the street from a park so I thought maybe he was one of the homeless guys and wanted to use the bathroom.  Anyway, I got to the door and tell him we?re closed for about another half hour.  He asked why and I told him and he said ?well, I need to borrow a condom.?  I just stared at him.  My manger heard it and started laughing his ass off.  I looked to my manager or roommate for something to say, and they both stood there silent.  Finally, I stammered to the guy ?I, I’m, I’m sss, sorry, I, I, I don?t have any condoms? while I looked at the floor. There I was, my lil virgin self, with a really dumb look on my face, totally embarrassed. He looked at me all pissy like I just ruined his life, threw his hands in the air and walked off. 

What is your best quality?  I don?t think I have a ?best quality.”

What is your worst quality?  Oh, I could list these all day.  I?m a lazy fuck and rarely on time.
