I’ve been Tagged!!! (plus pictures)

(by joannatobin)

 ”Once you are tagged, you must post six things about yourself which are either weird, unusual, habitual, or are just plain fun to hear about (and true!). Once you post these things in your blog, you must gently* tag six to ten others in the Xanga world, who then, in the spirit of not wussing out, must read words like these and follow the same rules you did”.

Six Weird Things About Me

1. I can eat an OBSCENE amount of lobster when allowed; I once ate four of them in one night (it was a party and everyone kept giving me theirs just to watch the freak show).

2. My bellybutton is no longer a button, really just a shallow indentation.

3. I am irked by that book, “When I am an Old Woman, I Shall Wear Purple”.  If you are going to be a “funky, neat old lady”, then just do it, quit yappin about it because that just makes it all seem so contrived and cliche.

4. I love the smell of clean band-aids, tomato leaves and gasoline; I’m sure I’m deficient in something, I don’t want to know what.

5. I cannot eat ketchup but mayo can go on everything. And I’m annoyed  by those who spell it catsup. 

6. I have never been to a Starbucks.

Jesse, #1 Drama King

This morning I awoke to the sounds of this,

(downstairs)

Jesse: “Quick, call the police, call the navy, the dog has my jelly toast!!! Alert, alert, alert, stop the rotation of the earth, Lucy is eating my toast!!!!  ARGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

Jesse: (quietly) “she ate it.”

Jesse: (loudly, again) “Chef?!? Where is my royal chef? I must have more jellied toast as the royal mutt has eaten mine!”

So, Am I A Robot ?

What do you call those thingies where you punch in some code to leave a comment in order to prove that you are a human being?

What does it mean that I cannot always get them right?

If they are so random, how come there are never any sexy words in them?

So, am I a robot?

cough. sputter. groan.

Jeez…

C’mon, tell me I wasn’t the only one who had that weird dream last night!

 

You know,  the one with Derek Jeter and he is wearing a prom gown and jumping on a trampoline while listening to accordian polka music and you are poking him with a broom handle in his tushie and throwing whoopie pies at him until he says, “Uncle”

 

Tell me I wasn’t the only one.

I am happiest

when grasping the thin roots of things

and rubbing the damp earth between my fingers

and I am in my

place

when breathing the clean air

while bending my body to connect with

all that is true.
