“Blame Tara Who?” Meme

Friends, Just Good Stuff, Seriously Weird | Posted by Jannie on 13 June 2009 @ 6:22 AM 79 Comments

I have no idea who Tara is, the sprite who incited both Deeper Issues Dot and Passing Thru Betsy to honor me with meme action, but I thank her deeply for this opportunity to share more deeply true Jannie.

1. Who is the hottest movie star?

Larry of the Three Stooges is my all-time fav, but if we’re talking contemporary actors, I like that Russell Crowe guy.  Girl-wise, I like Uma Thurman.

2. Apart from your house and car, what’s the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought?

Definitely my genuine-imitation Mr. Spock belt buckle, as seen on tv.  A $379.99 value I scored for only $19.99.

Next most expensive thing, my good-used marble cheese tray for $17.50.

3. What’s your most treasured memory?

Oh, I have so many, but the June Saturday afternoon I got my green wrestling outfit when I was 13 springs to mind.  I was so energized by the shiny spandex, I put “Big Mike” McGillicuddy in a headlock for 30 minutes until he finally aplogized for teasing me all those years about my knobby knees.  Then all of us kids on both sides of the long-standing feud kissed, made up and went for shakes at the Dairy Dip where my Uncle Sylvester dropped by with his 3-legged goat, Miriam.

4. What was the best gift you ever received as a child?

The box of elbow macaroni Aunt Freda brought me from Italy.  I still have half of it.

5. What’s the biggest mistake you’ve made?

Putting salt instead of sugar in Uncle Sylvester’s birthday cake.  Whoops.  Miriam ate it, tho.  Stole the whole thing right off the picnic table and lived to “maaa” the tale.

6. 4 words to describe yourself.

Spritely.  Optimistic.  Forgiving.   Infinite.

7. What was your highlight or lowlight of 2008?

Getting the Christmas tree early was so great!  Jim brought it home the day after Thanksgiving, a real nice fir that had slid off some old guy’s truck at a red light.  Lowlight of 2008  — missing out on the bake sale at church ’cause I had to sit with the cat at the vet’s all day due to his post-neutering psychosomatica.  I heard there was divinity fudge.  And candy apples.  And baklava flaking so lightly and honeyed it could make angels cry for weeks.

8. Favorite film?

Three!   Waking Ned Divine.  Ghostbusters.  How To Hook A Rug In Four Minutes.

9. Tell me one thing I don’t know about you.

I wear a full-body vintage girdle every day.  Like this one…

10. If you were a comic book / strip character, who would you be?

I would be the stick-person named Susan Lam that Kelly created and centers her adventure stories around.

Bonus question: What’s one stupid thing you did today, Jannie?

Didn’t let the water run at least 45 seconds first thing in the morning before drinking some.

Ta-da!

Okay you guys know what’s coming next, right?  I’m supposed to pass this on to seven of you.  But I’m gonna make it 10, ’cause I like the number 10, it’s so… Metric System.

So, here goes.  And if anybody feels left out, please e-mail me and let me know you’d like to be tagged for my next meme, as I have no way of knowing who likes meming and who wants to avoid it like a rabid pigeon on a sugar-high.

1.   Tammy of Windows 2 The Soul
2.   Carla of Kootenay Bliss
3.   Teahouseblossom of Teahouseblossom
4.   Karyn of Sailor Mittens
5.   Bella of She Sleeps With Sea Glass
6.   Aimee of the Aimee Brons Blog
7.   K of Interstitial Life
8.   TheWeyrd1 of Keen Observer Of The Human Condition
9.   Lane Savant of Feel Free To Laugh
10. Adrenalynn of Rainy Day

Tagged ones, Blame Tara indeed!  🙂

Friends, you had some seriously great tagline ideas for me, thanks!!  In fact, there are over 20 I’ll be using in as many upcoming weeks.   And now that I can make a widget link “button” — holy cow — I gonna link you winners up!

To celebrate this Tagline Kick-Off today, I’m leaving Robin’s inadvertant “seriously weird” one up for another week with her widget link directly under my bog eye — yes, that’s she in the photo as a child!  Robin, the seriously wonderful gal of the Let’s Live Forever! blog and her partner Frank run a recording studio called The Sound Sculptor and Frank’s favorite fish is the Humphead Maori Wrasse at the Melbourne Aquarium!

And now, without further ado,  drum-roll please, the deservant tagline winners are…

I’ll be putting all the taglines in my codfishing boot and drawing randomly to post the new taglines and widget links on Mondays.

For those of you who did not “win” this fame and glory contest, you’re ALL winners to me and will remain so.  Forever and ever.  xo  And EVER!!  I love you all.

So there!

Okay, be like that!!!  My “What-Jannie-Funster-topics-would-you-like-to-hear-more-about” poll is over and no one gave a hoot about my Diet, so that’s all this post is about — my Diet, which I mean in the true sense of general nutritional intake, not in the weight reduction way (altho, yes, I’d love to lose 8 pounds.)

Breakfast:  2 small turnips, 2 ounces raw tofu, 2 tablespoons teriaki tiramisu.

Lunch:  3 big beers and a glazed donut.

Dinner:  13 Cheerios, 17 Spaghettios and 2 slices Domino’s.

Now let me go cry in a corner over no one caring what nutrition I’m upholding my sacred temple with.

Boo-hoo (peeks from between fingers to see who’s watching.)

What?  My foodage is weird?  Come on, you must eat weird too, don’t ya?  Sometimes?  Ever?  Confess all to the Jannie-Meister — after all it’s just you ‘n me reading this.
