do a meme! the most lazy meme available! one where you only need to give out some nice compliments but really those compliments are just thinly veiled TAGS!
I was complimented/tagged by Grace, who apparently shares my twisted sense of humor and covets my Wii.
So therefore, I shall pass the blessings on to some of my favorite blogchicks:
Julie - my blog sistah, my compatriot in arms, my favorite brooklynite and Pittsburgh ex-pat. Her daily emails keep me sane.
Aimee - The nicest person in blogland. She would do anything for you. Anything. You want a kidney? Some chocolates? A big hug over the phone? She is there. Also, she smells faintly of patchouli.
Nanner - the strongest woman in blogland. Life has thrown her some real shitty curve balls, and she just comes through stronger. She constantly amazes me. Also? Her bead work is so beautiful as to make you WEEP! YOU WILL WEEP!
Cinnamon - she’s going through a bit of a blog transition right now, starting over, making a fresh start for herself. which is a perfect reflection of her real life. She’s been forced to start over, and she did it with grace and humor. Her writing is funny and thoughtful. Also? She’s one sexy biatch!
The Saucy Kat - another science chick in another red state, and all the trials and pains that go along with it. Science geeks represent!!!
I think I scanned through every 3-column widget-ready theme I could find. How about this one? Turns out, through complete coincidence, this theme was designed by the same person who designed the previous theme that I mutated all to hell.
#6 and FINAL weird thing (for the purposes of this meme, anyway) about me: I am ADDICTED to chapstick. I don’t think it’s mental. I think I’ve read where if you start wearing chapstick, you lose the natural coating on your lips, and you physically HAVE to have chapstick on your lips. I don’t feel right without it. I tend to panic when I realize that I don’t have any on, and god help me if I run out or lose my current tube. To make things extra fun, my lips are SENSITIVE, and I can’t use very many brands. I stick to Chapstick brand - anything else makes my lips itch and swell. Reigning champ of flavors is mint - which is a nice smooth spearmint flavor that I buy IN BULK. I get weird looks from the target cashier when he/she rings up my 10 sticks.
Don’t touch my chapstick, bitch.
I am so anal retentive about the look of my blog I JUST CAN’T STAND IT!
Truthfully? I hate this template. I don’t know why. It’s nice and organized, but it just looks so…cold. And in spite of my attempts to to warm it up (pinks and browns? cupcake header?) I still hate it.
But I am too stubborn to change it right now. Because I think I can fix it! Even though I can’t! Because changing templates is kind of involved. I have alot of customizations that need to be carried over to a new template, and that is a pain in the ass. and besides, what if I don’t like the next template, either? and I did all that for nothing, and then I end up wasting even MORE time changing colors and headers and trying desperately to make it work.
I want something clean without being sterile. I want it to be feminine (or at least not all greys and blacks and sharp angles) without being girly. I want it to have 3 columns and support widgets. I want to be able to upload my own banner.
IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK, UNIVERS???
#4: Shameful embarrassing thing: So sometimes? Alot? While I’m reading blogs or Fark or whatever, I will click on linked items willy nilly out of half interest or total boredom. And because I use Firefox and because I have ADD and will totally forget what I was reading if I switch sites suddenly, I will open these new links in another “tab,” which I direct to open up in the “background.” Meaning that the site opens, but not in the window I’m currently viewing.
Sometimes these links are “videos” and sometimes these videos take a while to load, even with my oh-so-spiffy broadband connection, and sometimes I totally forgot that I clicked on a video. Sometimes, and this is so much worse and yet makes what happens maybe a little a forgivable, these websites have…EMBEDDED MUSIC. Oh god…the embedded music. Make it stop.
So here’s what happens. I click on a link which opens in background tab, which unbeknownst to me, or has a video that I promptly forget about as it takes more than 3 seconds to load and I DON’T HAVE THAT KIND OF ATTENTION SPAN…sometimes, I open up multiples of such sites. So there I am, happily reading whatever I was reading in the first place, and then all of a sudden, LOUD OBNOXIOUS NOISE starts EMANATING from my laptop! At full volume! And my first thought is NOT “oh, video loaded/sucky embedded music.” It is more like “NOISE! LOUD! PANIC! WHERE! WHERE NOISE FROM??? SADIE??? SADIE MAKE NOISE STOP????” and then I go all “2001″ on my laptop and smash it against the wall and jump around “oooh oooh eeek!”-ing and scratching my armpits.
Well, not really. But the sound DOES cause my heart to stop for a minute, and panic ensues as my wee brain tries to figure out where that noise is coming from, is it my cell phone? NO THAT IS NOT MY CELLPHONE!!! WHERE IS IT COMING FROM and OH GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!!
And then I realize “duh, that’s the link I opened,” and feel silly and Kev calls from the other room “what was THAT???” or “why are you freaking out?”
But only Sadie knows my shame. Because she freaked out too, and is growling at the front door for no reason.
This would really just be an embarrassing secret, except that it happens to me ALMOST daily.
