woo-hoo; 2 posts in a day! this is total birthday decadence. so here's the deal. the fabulous jessica has tagged me in a blog meme. and because a) it's my birthday, b) i hate studying real property and c) why the hell not, i'm playing! so without further ado, the great eight. (hell - it's a meme named after my beloved ovie. how can you go wrong?)
1. What is your favorite board/party/card game?
trivial pursuit! trivial pursuit! and no one ever wants to play with me. we always end up playing asshole at parties. that's fun, too, but i really want to own everyone at trivial pursuit...
2. What is your earliest memory?
i have this weird vestigial memory of standing in my crib looking at a fan in a window. i thought it was something i made up, but once i described it to my dad, and i apparently described my room at one year old to a T. weird.
3. If you could witness one event that occurred prior to your birth, what would it be?
the march on washington, 1963. i did a giant protest in DC in '04 (the march for women's lives), and that was amazing enough. imagine being a part of something where there were real, fundamental human rights issues at stake...
4. What is your favorite curse word?
ahahahaha. it's so great. my favorite swear word is "motherfucker." oh, it's so much fun to say. it feels like a load off just saying it. i am fond of just about every swear word there is, though. i have a filthy, filthy mouth.
5. What is your main fault?
without question, i overanalyze everything. but all of y'all already know that. you read it here. i am worse in my personal life. i would also offer that law school has made me really addicted to order, which doesn't help the overanalysis thing at all.
6. What turns you on?
a good-looking, brilliant man who flatters me. i MUST have a smart man. i love to talk about high-level things, all the time, and i cannot abide a guy who can't keep up. a good conversation is deeply stimulating to me.
7. What is your idea of misery?
heh. that one's easy. misery is knowing what you have to do, knowing how much it's going to hurt, and not having the nerve to pull the trigger. you may as well run your soul over a cheese grater.
8. What do you wish you knew more about?
i wish i knew more about using technology. my interest is deep; my knowledge base is SHALLOW. i'd like to be able to do a lot more with computers, web stuff, etc. than i can.
whew. fun! ok, so now i have to spread the love. here's my group of tagged bloggers:
enjoy, folks! :)
There's nothing like a well placed "motherfucker".
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing.
I have a memory of laying on the couch drinking a bottle. The house I described to my parents was where we lived until I was about 2 1/2
ReplyDeleteBut I can't remember stuff that happened yesterday. Go figure. LOL
Hehehehe Great Meme! I over analyze everything too...makes me crazy and keeps me up at night. =)
ReplyDeletePS. Thanks for tagging me!
I LOVE trivial pursuit. I am pretty dedicated to the original version though, and everyone seems to have the Milennium edition or Genus IV which I think are too easy.
ReplyDeleteI love Trivial Pursuit, too! I'd so play it with you. I don't want to play Asshole. That sounds really mean.
ReplyDeletehaha - it's actually just a stupid name for a card game plus drinking. it's really fun. i don't know how it got its name. probably the drinking, frankly. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Trivial Pursuit as well! You should try Zombie Flux sometime. It's quite entertaining!
