Tagged: 8 Random Things About Me


E*star LA tagged me awhile back. I don’t always do these things, but this seemed open-ended and fun enough. I’ll try not to repeat revelations from this post.

The Rules (as copied from her blog):

  • We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
  • Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
  • People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
  • Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

 
Okay, so here are 8 things:
 

  1. Fruit Flavors
    Cherries are one of my favorite fruits, but I tend to dislike artificial cherry flavoring. I gravitate towards foods with strawberry artificial flavoring, but I’m a bit indifferent to actual strawberries. Real bananas are okay but I hate anything with artificial banana flavoring.
  2.  

  3. Co-Dependency
    The one person that I’ve spent the most time with - more than anyone else in the world for the past 8-10 years - is Mike G. This includes my parents, girlfriends, other friends, and even any of my roommates. We have been at the same workplace for the past 7-8 years and literally in the same room for most of that. We’re cordial, but at this point, we’re both a little dead on the inside.
  4.  

  5. Fucking Cat
    This fucking cat is in my room right now. I left the door open for air and he just walked in. Noooo Kitty! Go outside. I am allergic to you. This is not your home. Don’t eat my fucking bird.

  7. Sleepy
    I slept on a futon for over 10 years. A really shitty one. I finally bought a bed last last March (a little over a year ago) and I love it.
  8.  

  9. Scary Man
    There was this one week in college where at least 4 separate friends individually mentioned to me that they thought I didn’t like them when we had first met. They all thought I was “scary” or “intimidating”.
    That made me angry so I punched all of them a lot.
  10.  

  11. Transportation
    The vehicles I have owned (or been in charge of): Toyota Cressida Station Wagon, Hyundai Sonata, Jeep Wrangler, Suzuki SV650 motorcycle, Toyota Sienna minivan. The bike was named Suzy, and the van is currently named Herbert. The other cars didn’t have names. All were boys, except for Suzy who was a girl.
  12.  

  13. Regular
    I drink Metamucil every day. A few months back, I ate red meat almost exclusively for an entire week. It was awesome. It started to become less and less awesome as the week went on and somewhere around the end of it, I decided to try some Metamucil to get things going again. I liked it so much that I’ve been taking it ever since. It makes me happy regular. It also makes me wear black socks and sandals with my short pants while I yell at those god damn kids to get off my fucking lawn.
  14.  

  15. Dirty Slob
    I hate cleaning my apartment. The process isn’t necessarily that unpleasant, per say, I just find it to be an incredible waste of time. The number one reason I want to make lots of money when I grow up is so that I can buy the love of other people, because I’m sure the hell not going to waste time trying to earn it. The number two reason I want to make lots of money is so that I can afford for a person to come out and clean my house every week, because I’m sure the hell not going to do that either.
  16.  


 
Okay, apologies to E*star for taking so long to finish this. I’m apparently supposed to tag 8 other people to do this. I thought I’d only hit up 4, but sho’ nuff, I found 8 that I felt like hearing from. Those are (whether they decide to do it or not), Mike G., Spiffy, Sasstastic, Chezmiko, Freddie, Suzy, Marv, Rickmondo.

Oh this is lolsome. Cuz like, you have a cat in your room. As in caterday.

I’m glad you’re regular. The bowels get more complicated when you age, don’t they? Don’t punch me.

So you don’t drink Shirley Temples because they have artificial cherry flavoring (grenadine) or because they are not manly? If you had to pick one reason which would it be?

Oh you know what’s funny–I started reading the beginning of The Four Agreements because it was highly recommended to me…by someone in my “Christian” small group. Haha, oh the irony. But that pastor dude doesn’t sound too inspiring.

Sorry for this long-ass comment.

I remember one time a couple years ago, I tagged you but you only said, “Chezmiko? What the hell is all this ‘tag’ stuff?”. You are too slow.

Chez,

You know, maybe if you had actually linked back to your page, I would have know what the heck “tag” was all about, eh?

Esther,

I don’t drink Shirley Temples because they’re not manly. Plain and simple. Some rum would take care of that problem real quick, though.

I’m pretty down with the Four Agreements. They’re all truths, I believe. Unfortunately, it’s all passive advice. You need to combine the Four Agreements with other, more pro-active thoughts to really enact some change in your life. But once that change has occurred, the Four Agreements are great for maintenance.

Yes, Chez, and honestly, that’s all I really remember about you from that day. That you were with a tall white man.
