Today's meme

The lovely and talented Sass tagged me for a meme, and although my new policy is not to accept these without postage (read: Paypal), she offered to model her Catholic schoolgirl uniform for me, so...

10 Years Ago Today
I was finally getting my shit together at university. My girlfriend had just graduated (having starting a year after me) and I still had one more year to go.

Five Years Ago Today
I was interviewing for my second job out of school and preparing to celebrate my 1st wedding anniversary.

1 Year Ago Today
The calendar read 2004. Everything else is exactly the same. (*sniff* I need a tissue...)

Yesterday
I was caring for my pint-size cousin and hoping I'd be offered the low-paying job that I don't really want.

Tomorrow
I will be caring for my pint-size cousin again and looking for another job, since today I got passed over for the low-paying job I didn't really want.

5 Snacks I enjoy
I don't snack nearly as much as I used to, but I like Snow Pea Crisps (like Funyons, but made from snow peas, not onions), Guacamole-flavor Doritos, dark chocolate, cheese popcorn (cheese-flavored), HEB-brand brownie bites.

5 Bands That I Know the Lyrics to Most of Their Songs:
I suck with lyrics, but - Smash Mouth, The Eagles, The Police, The Beatles, The Beach Boys.

5 Things I Would Do with a $100,000,000:
Establish an annuity to take care of my family, pay off Alliegirl's house, buy Lisa a classic Taylor guitar, replace my entire wardrobe with custom-tailored suits/shirts/shoes, sell the remainder of my possessions and disappear.

You know a lot of lyrics for bands that begin with "The."

And I'm thrilled you called him W.

Oh so many reasons I heart you.

Nothing under your kilt, huh? I so have a thing for that.

Allie- i KNOW!

Aide- I know all the "The" bands because I'm old.

ikeMay- Proof that comedy doesn't need a laugh-track.

Sass- Come watch the DVDs, I've got the set.

ESC- It's my list, get your own.

#3m00- Nothing wrong with puddin. Regis claims it comes in flavors other than chocolate. I say, if it ain't chocolate, it ain't puddin.

Z- Makes me feel just like Mel Gibson. FREEEEEDOMMM!

Yet somehow I've never forgiven Liam Neeson for letting a chick feel him up under his skirt in Rob Roy.

 
At 11:49 AM, Blogger tinyhands said...

ktP- I've got a huge quirk and I'm not afraid to use it.

Thomas- I'll get pictures if I have to PhotoShop them myself.

ESC- You seem to have a lot of rage. Anything you want to talk about?

KCTL- Yay! Big viewing party back-to-back-to-back!

Aide- I'm CIA.

Z- Is that how they checked prostates in the 1700s?

 
At 1:27 PM, Blogger kcterrilynn said...

Viewing party? Great! I'll bring the cheese (flavored) popcorn, you bring the puddin'.

 
At 1:52 PM, Blogger evilsciencechick said...

I am full of rage.

puddin' rage.

 
At 1:29 AM, Blogger tinyhands said...

KCTL- I'll supply the cheese (flavored) popcorn if you wear those thigh-high boots.

Regis- And, scene.
