Wa-a-ah, but I don’t wanna do a meme

I’ve gotten tagged a few times, most recently by Miklb, but I’ve never filled one out on my site. This blog was what you might call A Meme-Free Zone.

But then I realized I might be missing out on a rite of blogger passage. An important Shared Cultural Experience! Or at the very least, a quickie way to fill up a post on a slow news day.

So I decided I would try a meme. Just one!

Once a year.

And this is the one.

Miklb‘s meme. And just in case everybody hates memes and wants to assign blame for this meme-type post, you all know exactly where this meme came from. Right? Miklb. Good!

Here you go, Miklb!

MY 2006 MEME

(from Miklb)

Four jobs I’ve had:
1. Camp counselor
2. Waitress
3. Secretary
4. Crossing Guard

Well, that was fun. Sort of. I still don’t get the attraction of these things… oh, wait. There’s more. Sheesh.

Four things I want to do before I die:
1. Keep my house clean—even when no company is coming
2. Travel
3. Um…
4. Er….

Really, this is harder than it looks. I don’t know what else I must do before I die… does this mean I’m living an unexamined life? Not reaching my full potential?

Yikes! I better say something pithy and erudite! Quickly, too, before everybody realizes I’m about as shallow as Hal was before Tony Robbins vamped him in that elevator.

3. End world hunger!
4. Unite the world in peace!

Oh, no! There’s more. Who thinks up these things?

Four things I say a lot:

This one is easy.

1. “You noodle!”

Hey! This whole thing sounds familiar all of a sudden. I think I already filled this out once before… Yes I did. Wow! I even had more things to do before I die!

But this one is a little different. Still… I can copy from that one.

Four things I say a lot:
1. “You noodle!”
2. “Hell-LOOOO!”
3. “Excuse me, but do you even know where the blinker is?”
4. “Who ate my….” (fill in the blank) “NOW what am I going to make for dinner?”

Four of my favorite foods:
1. Chocolate
2. Chocolate
3. Chocolate
4. Chocolate

Four people I’d like to curse:
1-4. This would have to be four of the multitudes of people who cut me off on I-5 every weekday.

Four things I don’t trust:
1. Me, around chocolate
2. Me, around ice cream (especially chocolate ice cream)
3. Me, around cake (especially chocolate cake)
4. Me, around the TV.

Four people from history I’d like to meet:
1. Ben Franklin
2. Thomas Jefferson
3. Samuel L. Clemens
4. P.G. Wodehouse

Four No! SEVEN movies I watch over and over:
1. The Great Race
2. Star Wars
3. Pirates of the Carribean
4. Notorious (Cary Grant!)
5. Arsenic and Old Lace (Cary Grant!)
6. Either Ben Hur or Spartacus
7. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

There! I went out with a BANG. Seven movies, bwa ha, and everybody else only did four. I get extra points.

And now, that is it. My meme for the entire year! Woo hoo!

Blast it all… there’s more!

Four people I’d like to tag

Yikes! This part is scary! What if I invited a bunch of people and nobody came? I’ll tell you what: if you want to do this meme, do it and tell me, and I’ll insert your name and the link to your completed meme in the following box. Then we can both say I tagged you!

Oh, I am so clever.

Four people I’d like to tag
1. Paisley Scott
2.
3.
4.
