I got “tagged” for one of those Internet-meme-things. They seem to be getting more popular this year – though they are also starting to sound like those chain mail emails I get, you know the type, the “you HAVE to forward this to 10 people or you’ll get bad luck!” ones. But anyway, here goes:<\/p>\n

The Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Answer at least three of the questions. Yes, I know a few look time-consuming and there are several of them. That’s why I only ask for three. See? I’m nice!<\/li>\n
  2. Post them and the rules on your blog, and please link back to me here. Pretty please *^_^* ?<\/li>\n
  3. Comment here telling me and the rest of our little party where you’re at and link to yourself.<\/li>\n
  4. That’s all!<\/li>\n
  5. Oh yeah, don’t forget to tag others!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. What’s the last book you read that you thought was really super, inspiring, you’d recommend it to most anyone?<\/li>\n
    2. What food totally grosses you out, you’d never be able to touch it? Ew. Gag. *hurl*<\/li>\n
    3. Did you ever watch a scary movie that frightened you so much you were afraid of the dark afterward? I mean like you’re lying in bed trying to sleep, but you have to pee, but you’re scared to get up. It doesn’t have to be recently; could be when you were a kid. So what movie was it?<\/li>\n
    4. Is there a song that makes you dance every time you hear it? Would you tap you feet and sing along to it in public?<\/li>\n
    5. Tattoos: yes or no? Do you have any? Tell us! Do you think they’re gross? TELL US!<\/li>\n
    6. When’s the last time you laughed so hard your ribs ached and\/or you nearly peed yourself? What made you do it?<\/li>\n
    7. Draw or doodle a picture of your pet(s) and post it if possible. Nothing fancy, don’t be shy!<\/li>\n
    8. Go through a stack or box of your old music. Stuff that you may not have heard in years. Pick one and tell us about it. Is it as good (or as bad) as you remember?<\/li>\n
    9. Do you still sleep with a stuffed animal? We won’t laugh!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The Answers<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. A Fortunate Life<\/em> by A. B. Facey<\/li>\n
      2. Vegimite. Whenever Amanda leaves the container open on the counter, I swoop in and close it and put it away because I don’t like even the smell!<\/li>\n
      3. Nope. (Though I’ve been stuck in bed from fear at night for other reasons…)<\/li>\n
      4. There are many songs in my playlist that, depending on the circumstances, might cause me to get up and move around… but only in my own home. Never in public! (Too shy, you see.)<\/li>\n
      5. Nope, my body is a temple, graffiti is not allowed. I don’t think they’re gross per se<\/em>, but they just aren’t for me.<\/li>\n
      6. When I first saw the “Boot to the Head<\/a>” flash video.<\/li>\n
      7. My artistic talent ends at stick figures, and I don’t think the buns would appreciate being represented that way.<\/li>\n
      8. I haven’t listened to my Final Fantasy Pray<\/a> album in years. Ahhh, good stuff, good stuff…<\/li>\n
      9. I wouldn’t disgrace them by smothering them like that. They sit in places of high honor in my office!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        So… there you go. I’m not going to bother tagging others because… everyone I know who would do this has already been tagged\/tagged me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
