Meme of the Moment

Feb 22nd, 2008By: Mellystu Comments 7

I think that my life would be more productive if I set the router to cut off internet connectivity after 8:00pm every night. The downstairs people would complain because they revolt at any opportunity to do something productive.

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
I don’t like paying the piper. Besides that, I would have to choose taxes because it is just ridiculous how much of my earned income goes towards taxes.

2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
Any dinner that doesn’t involve crying, throwing things, high pitched squealing or me uttering, “Eat it or wear it is just a saying. Please, you don’t really need to … wear your … food … *sigh* nevermind.” is romantic. Using that definition, I’d have to say when Mac and I went out to lunch together on Monday. Although, I got sick shortly after, so that dampens the memory of romance a little. Perhaps when we went out to Morton’s. Both the food and the atmosphere was delish.

3. Do you regret losing your virginity to who you lost it to?
No.

4. If you could go back and change one thing what would it be?
I would warp myself back to the Mesozoic Era. While there, I would bury a time capsule with everything signed as “MellyStu.” I still have to add details to this plan since this time capsule would have to survive for a very long time. I’d also be quite disappointed if on my return I did not find regular programs with names such as “The Mysterious MellyStu: Puzzles from our Past” playing regularly on The History Channel. I could just go and sneeze on a dinosaur, but I’d be equally disappointed to find it not raining donuts. I have awhile before my hypothetical time machine comes to pick me up.

5. Name of your first grade teacher?
Mrs. Marsh. I do not remember her first name.

6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Sleeping or reading a book, but the fact that I’m filling out this meme instead is my fault.

7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Indiana Jones, and no, I didn’t want to be an archaeologist. I wanted to be Indiana Jones. When we were in 5th grade, we had books that kept track of our accomplishments. Things like, height and weight at the beginning and ending of the year, our favorite things to do, our friends–it was a baby book for non-babies. There was a “What do you want to be when you grow up” page. It was broken into check markable options for girls and for boys. The boys had options such as police man, doctor, firefighter and such, and the girls side had options such as nurse, teacher, mother^* and such. There was also space for you to fill in your own, and in it I wrote “door to door nuclear biologist.”

8. How many universities/colleges did you attend?
One: University of Kansas

9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
It is a sweatshirt to battle the slight chill in the air.

10. Gas/petrol prices?
Over $3.00.

11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you, where would it be?
I haven’t been everywhere. I’d like to visit more places first before I decide. And I have more than one person that I’d have to take or I’m not going anywhere.

12. First thought when the alarm went this morning?
Oh crap, I slept in! Where did the alarm go? Mac did you take the alarm? No? Well, alarms don’t just sprout legs and walk away.

13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
Um….*thinking* …. No clue.

14. Favorite style of underwear.
Monkey. Right now, I’m just happy to not have to wear maternity undies anymore or always have to wear a nursing bra. It is a fantastically sexy combination, let me tell you.

15. What errand/chore do you despise?
Yes! I do despise chores. The connotation of the word “chore” usually indicates that you do not like doing it. But I’ll go with the intended meaning of the question and respond with “making the bed.” You’re just going to get back in the bed and mess it up again. And people don’t come in my room that don’t already live in my house, so eh, I don’t care. I only remake it if the covers are too messed up to sleep with or when I wash sheets, although I try to pass that off to Mac because I just don’t like to make the bed.

16. If you didn’t have to work, would you volunteer?
Yes, I’d volunteer for not having to work. Or, yes, I’d volunteer if doing so meant that I didn’t have to work. Or yes, if for some other independently wealthy reason that I didn’t have to work, I’d volunteer to do something.

17. Get up early or sleep in?
I’d stay up late and sleep in. I’d only get around 7 – 9 hours of sleep, but I would feel refreshed, alert and ready to start my day. However, the world doesn’t work that way for me, so I sleep 7 – 9 hours on our society’s established schedule, and I feel tired and brain dull.

18. What is your favorite cartoon character(s)?
The Tick and Invader Zim are the two that immediately pop into my head.

19. Favorite thing to do at night with a girl or guy?
Since we have this neat invention called “electricity” I can do almost anything that I could do during the day with a girl or a guy.

20. Have you found real love yet?
It seems odd to attach the adjective “real” to the abstract concept of love. I have yet to hear anybody wax poetic about their intoxicating fake love, so yes, anyone who has claimed to be in love was at that time talking about it for real. The answer is yes.

21. When did you first start feeling old?
Sometime last year. I really did. And the me 20 years in the future will yell back, “Are you daft? You are young!” This topic could be a post on its own, but I feel like I’m in the middle of the transition to another era of life. This is the era where you suddenly realize that you don’t have an infinite amount of time, and maybe you need to start prioritizing time-consuming stuff.

22. Favorite 80′s movie?
Oh, hmmm…Blade Runner. I really like that movie.

23. Your favorite lunch meat?
Honey mesquite turkey

24. What do you get every time you go into Sam’s Club?
Nothing, since I do not go into Sam’s Club. Costco, however, I can answer. I always get something that I don’t need, but suddenly feel like I need it because it is in bulk. For the last trip, it was Nutella.

25. Beach or lake?
These are not mutually exclusive things. It may not apply to all, but most lakes that I’ve gone to do have a beach. So I will answer “yes.”

26. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
Nope. The only thing I think is outdated is those people who do not want to get married and spend time blabbering on about how it is an outdated ritual. If you do not want to get married, then don’t, shut the frell up, and let it be. Also, those who do want to get married or are married and then blabber on to people who don’t want to get married how they need to get married. Those people should also shut the frell up. I have more examples, but my eyelids are feeling heavy.

To be continued later…I’m getting really sleepy

*There was no option of “father” for the boys.
