tra-SHAY. Or, uh, the third question in November…
Well, we’re rolling right along, aren’t we?
Day one, we got a STELLAR response from the madding crowd.
Day two… eh, you must have been tired. Those of you that managed to try for perfection reached it, though…
And now? DAY THREE.
But this ain’t just any day.
This is TRASHY CONFESSIONS FRIDAY.
Now, before you get all up in arms, this isn’t one of THOSE blogs. We don’t want to know what you did with Jim from Accounting in the broom closet, or why you always look a little differently at the barista at your Starbucks after she made your coffee… erm… extra hot.
No.
I mean, SOME people here might want to know that, but for you? There is Cinemax.
I want your trashy confessions along the lines of pop culture embarassments, odd cravings, and random obsessions.
And I want ten.
I sincerely believe that there is not ONE OF YOU OUT THERE who can’t give me ten things that embarass you to admit… if even just a little bit.
I’ll start with mine, just to warm you up…
- Sometimes I would rather lick the seasoning off Doritos Hint of Lime chips than actually go to the trouble of eating the chip.
- I honestly think George Michael has a really awesome voice. Also? That is my second WHAM! reference of the week. And probably one of the many on this blog over time. Because that was the first tape (YES! TAPE!) I ever owned, and “I’m Your Man” is one of the most fun songs EVER RECORDED.
- I will continue to drink coffee long after it grows cold. And put it in the microwave. And warm it back up. And this from an avowed coffee snob who dreams of The Illy In The Pretty Metal Tin.
- I totally watch Dog The Bounty Hunter. And I don’t even care what you think of it.
- We’re putting up our Christmas tree TOMORROW.
- I read GQ. And not just for the articles. I don’t even know what I meant just there.
- I have six kinds of lipgloss in my bag today. And they’re all pretty much the same damn colour (soft, shimmery rosy pink.) But in combination? Cost about $160, over the course of two years. MAC, Nars, Stila, Du-Wop, Benefit and Clinique should market to me directly. Apparently I am a pathetic sucker. With glossy lips. And no money in the bank.
- I dye out the thirty gray hairs that I have. And I resent my father for early greying genes.
- I’m scared to cut my hair because someone I dated four years ago told me I would look like someone’s mom if I did.
- I LOVE SWEETTARTS. With an unholy love.
Okay, trashy people. Give me the dirt.
November 3rd, 2006 at 10:17 am
I’ll go see any movie, no matter how craptastic it is. Especially teen movies. Give me a lousy teen movie in the theatre any day of the week.
November 3rd, 2006 at 10:21 am
I wish I looked like Mandy Moore (!)
November 3rd, 2006 at 10:50 am
this morning i yelled at my son so much i scared him.:(
November 3rd, 2006 at 11:17 am
WHAM! was my very first tape too! Oh how I loved that tape! Ok, down to business.
1. I get far too much joy out of reading the weekly mocking of celebrity fashion that comes up on MSN.
2. In college, my roommate and I watched so much Price is Right, we started knowing the prices of everything.
3. I sing along with the radio in my car at all times. This is not so bad except when I begin to think that I can harmonize. I can’t.
4. I find Brian Williams, of the NBC Evening News, sexy.
5. I haven’t cooked anything with more than two ingredients in at least a month. Maybe two.
6. If I had known that the UWGB band got to play at all home Green Bay Packers games, I really think I might have gone to school there for that reason alone. Which is a fine way to choose one’s university, don’t you think?
7. I once owned more than one Amy Grant CD.
8. Usually once a summer I get out my Christmas CDs and listen to them for a week or two. Because music that wonderful should not be confined to two measly months a year!
9. I love Diet Dr. Pepper like a fat kid love cake.
10. I’m going to check when I get home to see if I still have that WHAM! tape. And if so, I will listen to it and sing along. And dance around.
November 3rd, 2006 at 11:17 am
Oh, NSM. My mom did that a few times, just with volume, and because she usually didn’t yell. He knows you love him.
November 3rd, 2006 at 11:17 am
1. i secretly wish i could have been a cheerleader, or at least that i possessed the pep and self-confidence of one.
2. i look forward to november all year for the sole reason that dairy queen has pumpkin pie blizzards…yum
3. new school supplies always made me giddy as a child, and i still get a little weak in the knees in office supply stores. new pens! wheeeeee!
4. i absolutely love flamin’ hot cheetos
5. sometimes i have daydreams of being an interesting and captivating guest on the oprah show
6. i will watch and rewatch episodes of law and order: svu. god help me if the usa channel runs a marathon of back-to-back episodes
7. i am addicted to npr
8. i am hoping that stacey and clinton will pop out of a bush somewhere, ambush me with secret footage, and offer me a trip to new york and visa card with my name on it and $5000 for a new wardrobe. in fact, i often wonder, “what would stacey and clinton think about my outfit today?”
9. as a child, i used to make up dance routines to bands like WHAM! (that’s for you, meg), and madonna and summon my mother to my room and force her to watch my performance.
10. i love reality tv shows and have weekly viewing parties for “the bachelor” with my girlfriends
November 3rd, 2006 at 11:34 am
OH MY GOSH. WE ARE THE WHAM! SYNDICATE!
That’s hilarious. We did a lipsync to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go in sixth grade for the talent show. It was truly awesome.
And I hope the same thing about Stacy and Clinton. I would throw out everything I own and let them embarass the hell out of me. I want Nick to do my hair and eh on the Carmindy (I’m pretty good with my own makeup) but she might show me some fun stuff.
And Brian Williams? Hot.
November 3rd, 2006 at 12:00 pm
1. I saw George Michael in concert when I was in 5th grade. I went with my parents and my mom fell asleep and it was in a huge arena. I also bought a tshirt to commemorate the event.
2. Along the lines of concerts and music, I also saw MC Hammer live. There, I said it.
3. I told my husband that when my subscription to US Weekly ran out, I’d stop reading gossip blogs…but I can’t stop! At least now I only check two…although it’s multiple times a day.
4. I wore Jams and thought I was the shit. Except I probably just looked shitty…with my perm.
5. Yes, I had a perm. It looked awful so I grew it out as far as I could then chopped off all my hair. I was 12.
6. I also secretly hope Stacy and Clinton will surprise me and whisk me off to NYC for a makeover. That would be SO GREAT. I would totally push her and say “Shut Up! You look FABULOUS!”
7. When I get out of the shower I have to dry my feet with my towel and step directly into slippers or special house flip flops. My feet cannot touch the floor since it’s “dirty” and my feet are “clean.”
8. I don’t wear a lot of makeup but I wish I knew how to put some on so I could wear it every once in a while, just for fun, without reason. Normally I only wear makeup if I’m going out somewhere…which rarely happens these days.
9. I like to eat chocolate icing straight out of the container with my finger.
10. I reheat my coffee too. All the time.
11. Here’s an extra one for fun…After I wash the pet laundry (towels, blankets, pet beds, etc.) I MUST run another wash with only water and bleach, to make sure that the washing machine is clean and sanitized for my clothes. My water bill is outrageous right now with the new puppy.
November 3rd, 2006 at 12:14 pm
i’m more of a tom brokaw kind of gal….he is certainly the dirty little secret on my fantasy island.
November 3rd, 2006 at 12:35 pm
10 Trashy Confessions from Ms. Fowler’s neighbour… let’s hope this doesn’t make her reconsider her decision to relocate to the North side o’ the pod!
1. Back in the day, when I used to go out clubbing every night, I would sometimes leave my eye makeup on for 2 days in a row and just “touch it up” before leaving the house (EEEEWWW!)
2. My all-time favourite TV show is Friends. Don’t ask me why, I know it’s vanilla, mainstream pap, but if there’s an episode on TV, I watch it. I can’t help myself. It’s a sickness.
3. I love cowboys. Boots, chaps, hats, horses… yum.
4. When I lived in Tokyo, I wrote erotic fiction under a pen name for an underground magazine.
5. I think my cats are gay. (OK, that’s not really trashy, just kind of funny ;-)
6. My favourite hangover breakfast is Egg McMuffins. Love, love, love them, a festival of empty calories and over-processed animal byproducts.
7. I like wearing fancy matching bras & panties under grubby old sweats. Makes me feel saucy.
8. I read Perez Hilton every morning.
9. When I was 17, I got a ticket from a California state trooper for “Indecent Exposure in a Moving Vehicle.”
10. The last movie I rented was “The American President.”
November 3rd, 2006 at 12:39 pm
Hoo-boy……..
1. I also think “what would Stacy & Clinton would think of this outfit?”
2. I also loved WHAM! I STILL adore George Michael’s voice. But how did I not know he was gay? Not that it matters to me at all, but I had certain “dreams” about him back then. Oops - have I gone too far here? ;)
3. I like to watch “American Idol.” But ONLY for the real competition - AFTER the stupid first few weeks of the exploitive auditions.
4. As a result of the above, I am a Taylor Hicks fan.
5. Major, big-time, total Starbucks Iced Espresso Mocha addict - venti with whipped and WHOLE milk.
6. I am a “LOST” addict and read the LOST Message boards
7. And a “Dog Whisperer” fan (Cesar Milan is HOT)
8. Total “product” junkie. (But I am really working hard on this one.)
9. Fritos Corn Chips - I can eat them well past the point where I can no longer feel my lips.
10. I am a “coming-out-of-the-closet” country music fan.
November 3rd, 2006 at 12:40 pm
1. I still think Donny Osmond is totally hot.
2. I like to watch bad movies in the theatre by myself. Like Tim Allen movies and cartoons.
3. I actually don’t think they’re bad movies. I think they’re really funny.
4. I would totally LOVE to be the next Bachelorette. And I would totally kiss however many guys I wanted to.
5. I sing to really cheesy music really loudly when I’m alone in my car.
6. I could watch Friends for like 12 hours straight and still laugh.
7. I actually um… this is a bad one…watch 7th Heaven sometimes.. and enjoy it.
I can only think of 7 right now. BUt I’m sure Meg could give you my final three.
:)
November 3rd, 2006 at 12:53 pm
I LOVE THIS.
Okay, more:
Tom Brokaw? Totally. But Paul NEWMAN! And Robert REDFORD! And for freak’s sakes, even Michael Caine. Something absurdly sexy there, for the older dude.
AND…
I have a preferred bottled-water brand. Fiji. Which is dorky as hell.
AND…
Every day when I go home, the first thing I do is change into yoga pants and a tank top. I hate nonstretchy, overly covering clothing at home.
November 3rd, 2006 at 1:18 pm
1. If a Talent Genie appeared to give me just one wish, it would be to dance.
2. The other day on a whim I decided to dye my beard, just to “even it out” so the gray and brown mixed a little better.
3. Now I think I look hot.
4. If, today, I met Leslie Anne Warren in person I would forget to breathe.
5. I prefer canned peas.
6. If I had an iPod, I would make sure I always had the theme from “Rocky” available for emergencies.
7. I am going to make carrot cake today for the first time.
8. I still hold out hope that one day someone will ask me to play Sweeney Todd, Fagin, or Henry Higgins.
9. I have the forearms of a 19-year-old.
10. Even with the best, priciest steak, I have a secret desire to put A1 sauce on it. Because I like the taste of A1 sauce.
November 3rd, 2006 at 1:21 pm
1. I TRIED OUT for the Bachelor once. I had a boyfriend at the time but the experience was so very worth it. (Even though I think that show may have been the final nail in the coffin of the women’s movement)
2. I am currently addicted to the 99 cents for two Jack in the Box tacos and I have no idea why. I never ate at a Jack before, they are gross, I am not sure what the filling is, but I LOVE them. They might be laced with crack.
3. I like to drink alone. I like to drink alone more that I like to drink in public. A glass of wine and TV? Alone? Awesome, which brings me to…
4. I like to get a bottle of wine, a pack of ciggarettes, and watch entire seasons of sex in the city in one sitting. I love this. About once every three to four months I try to fit this in. Smoking is gross and I always have a hangover but I still love it (so trashy!)
5. I hate to shave my legs. If it isn’t absolutely necessary I won’t shave them. I have gone months before.
6. But I do shave everything else and keep it all well maintained.
7. I love good celebrity gossip even though I think it is abominable how society worships these people, and by buying into the gossip, I am propigating the situation. This actually troubles me quite a bit.
8. I blog from work. A lot.
9. If someone offered me a job that payed even 5000.00 more a year I would never, ever step foot in this place again
10. I liked the Britney Spears “Toxic” song when it came out.
(and Robert Redford? Oh lord. )
November 3rd, 2006 at 1:27 pm
“Toxic” used to be on my iPod.
November 3rd, 2006 at 1:43 pm
And I’m willing to give him another chance:
http://people.aol.com/people/gallery/0,26335,1546577_5,00.html
November 3rd, 2006 at 2:31 pm
1. I actually like the movie “Ghost”.
2. And “Dirty Dancing”.
3. I can do the Electric Slide; furthermore, I will do it without shame in a crowd of people.
4. I want to learn the Cha Cha Slide. Yes, I do!
5. If I didn’t think people would talk, I would have a vanilla milkshake for every meal.
6. While outwardly loathing disco music in the 70s, I had a secret, unholy attraction to it. I’m talking BeeGees, young people.
7. I ate a whole entire can of Charles Chip potato chips one summer afternoon when I was nine.
8. Quaaludes and Boone’s Farm Apple Wine. Need I say more? I think not.
9. I’m oddly fascinated by the show “Miami Ink”. It makes me want to get a tattoo, but after the show I think better of it. It’s that whole needle thing.
10. Did you say Gingerbread Lattes are back? Excuse me… I just remembered that I have to go to Starbucks.
November 3rd, 2006 at 2:49 pm
I can’t help but like the Justin Timberlake song “Rock Your Body.” Even though he kind of gives me the creeps, I like him anyway, especially the time he hosted Saturday night Live because he was actually pretty funny. That being said, I would never admit publicly to liking anything about him.
Also? I once tried to home wax my upper lip and failed miserably, winding up with an upper lip scab for multiple days. I had to skip a friend’s BBQ party because like a dumbass, I tried the wax the day of the party.
And one more thing? I am addicted to the HGTV show House Hunters.
And while I’m airing all my dirty laundry? I absolutely love to drink alone and I have to force myself not to…otherwise I’d be a raging alcoholic by now. (Thanks, Desiree, I’m glad I’m not the only one…)
Thanks, Meg, this has been very therapeutic.
November 3rd, 2006 at 2:54 pm
MegFowler.com: Free therapy — and candy for all.
November 3rd, 2006 at 2:59 pm
First I must comment on the other comments:
There is nothin’ better than the song WHAM! Rap ‘86. In fact, my sister and I just listened to that whole album this past weekend while cleaning our apartment. Love. it.
Robert Redford: Yes. Paul Newman: Yes. No thanks to Tom Brokhaw and definitely no Michael Caine.
I reheat my coffee too. Especially if I buy a large one.
Love the Fiji water bottles and mostly for the square shape.
I only blog from work.
I would not survive wearing anything but pajamas at home.
And I still like that Toxic song. Especially this cover by Tristan Prettyman.
Whew! OK, on to question number 3:
1. I am very good at lying. I can have a whole conversation with someone on a book they have read and pretend I have also done so. I just play on the little knowledge I obtained from an Entertainment Weekly blurb. I don’t know why I do this. I should just say I didn’t read that book.
2. I am obsessed with ridding my eyes of corner goop. I sometimes notice other peoples’ too and then I have to physically stop myself from reaching over and trying to remove it. I know, I’m gross.
3. I am absolute whore for TV shows on DVD.
4. I haven’t cleaned my bathroom in a week.
5. I have shared a toothbrush with friends when camping.
6. I sometimes wipe my hands on my car seat when I don’t have a napkin handy — which is a lot of the time.
7. I love, absolutely love, the smell of cigarette smoke. It is filled with memories.
8. Sometimes when I wake up late I don’t take a shower. Like today.
9. I swear like a sailor.
10. I sing in my car too Cat! I do full out choreography too. I probably look like I am having a fit. Oh well.
This was fun!!!
November 3rd, 2006 at 3:03 pm
good lord this is fun! i have tears in my eyes! actual tears brought about simply by the shame of others! i love it.
and, yes, Toxic is on my ipod as well along with a whole slew of other shameful suspects. Hell i just downloaded a bunch of Journey songs the other day.
November 3rd, 2006 at 3:21 pm
Oh, I got more…
I also watch Gene Simmons Family Jewels, and totally adore his kids. I have no idea what it is with me and A & E… my parents liked it when it was more uppity, but I think between American Justice and those other two shows, they have me hooked on the trash.
I would drink beer over any other kind of alcohol. But I hate cheap beer.
It always has to be some ridiculous microbrew or import.
I also have Snoop Dogg and Justin Timberlake and Beyonce and Jay-Z and P. Diddy on my iPod, right alongside the more cerebral pleasures.
I know the lyrics to more than three Christina Aguilera songs.
I check my stats far more often than is even acceptable.
I really, really love fast food. But only certain kinds. Mostly fries.
I once rode in a car for about thirty miles in just my underwear.
I don’t always return emails very effectively, but somehow I get offended when people do the same thing to me.
I bitch about Microsoft too much.
I could spend two hours in a Sephora.
I can’t sit still to watch DVDs very often. I get bored, bored, bored.
I check my email in the middle of the night sometimes.
I own a Celine Dion CD. The best of… hello oxymoron.
I use the f*** word too much while watching hockey.
I don’t trust men who have hair that looks wet all the time.
November 3rd, 2006 at 4:02 pm
I recently spent too much money on a jacket purely because I thought Stacy and Clinton would approve. It was a structured jacket! They always want everyone to get one of those! So now I probably own exactly one article of clothing that they would not want to throw out.
And I am SO going to DQ tonight now that I have learned about the pumpkin pie blizzard. Perhaps with an eggnog latte chaser from Starbucks? Because I assume that they are out now too? My love for eggnog knows no bounds. Not even the bounds of non-stretchy pants. (The yoga pants that I change into after work every day, generally after proclaiming “I have been wearing real clothes long enough” have a big hole in the leg. And I don’t care.)
November 3rd, 2006 at 4:06 pm
I’d like to give kudos right now to Chuck and Darren as the only guys man enough to admit that they don’t just sit around lifting weights and grunting intelligently all the time while studying Proust and wearing appropriate clothing and drinking fine chardonnay and listening to Debussy.
Actually, if anyone out there is doing that, please stop.
You’re freaking me out BADLY.
November 3rd, 2006 at 5:57 pm
I also say (scream) the f-word far more than is appropriate for a woman my age while watching hockey. Especially when the Caps get called for YET ANOTHER F*****G HOOKING PENALTY.
There. I feel better.
November 3rd, 2006 at 6:25 pm
1. i love george michael’s voice.
2. i still have a crush in donny osmond.
3. after watching joey lawrence on dancing with the stars i am oddly attracted to him.
4. sometimes i eat the grapes/chocolate malted milk balls/chocolate covered banana chips out of the bag while i am shopping so the bag weighs less when i have to pay for it.
5. i swear like a sailor.
6. i like the 4 tattoo’s i have and want to get more.
7. i am totally addicted starbucks and have actually gone there 5 times in one day once.
8. sometimes i eat chocolate frosting out of the can.
9. i haven’t told my roommate (the one that claims to be allergic to cats) that i have adopted a cat.
10. i once kissed andy gibb.
November 3rd, 2006 at 6:53 pm
First thanks you Choll for point this blog out I love it !!!
1.I have a strange obsession with toes. I have to have my toes painted at all times. And check other peoples toes to see if they are painted as well.
2.I Tivo every episode of dog the bounty hunter also.
3.I blog at work and spend about the first 3 hours when I get to work drinking coffee and reading blogs while pretending to work.
4.If I was thinner I would refuse to wear clothes at all times
5.I own about 60 pair of sunglasses and am still on the hunt for the perfect pair of “stunna glasses”
6.I love rap music however I feel like I am too old to listen to it.
7.I am addicted to Lost and stress about it in-between shows and have to take several xanax to actually watch the show.
8.I love Disney movies and my all time favorite is finding Nemo which I have seen approximately 10,000 times
9.Shawn Connery could talk me out of my clothes
10.I am listening to “Tiffany’s I think we are alone now” right this second, I know every word and am ok with that.
November 3rd, 2006 at 8:10 pm
Don’t know if I can come with ten right off the top of my head, but here goes…
When the floor in my kitchen is slippery clean I will totally do the whole Tom Cruise-Risky Business slide thing. Yeah. Underwear and all.
I sometimes talk to my cat when he’s outside my slider door. “Yeah, it must be cold out there but, heh, you’re a cat and I’m a guy. You stay out and I stay in!”
I popped in a Christmas CD this morning. And worse than that…before I corrected it I wrote, ” I pooped in a Christmas CD…”
I watch ‘Jimmy Neutron” on Saturday mornings with myson. It cracks me up. Especially Jimmy’s two friends, Sheen and Karl because they’re totally funny!
If I have a good, loud burp coming on I will get down on one knee and deliver it as if it were a line from a Shakespeare play.
If I have coffee left in the pot in the morning I will nuke it and drink it while I’m waiting for the new pot to brew. Makes that fresh stuff all the better.
I love the smell a of a freshly-lit cigarette. Only for about the first two seconds though. After that it looses it’s zing.
November 4th, 2006 at 1:05 am
Ten, huh? And nothing about Jim in the broom closet. How boring. OK–let’s see…
1. I have about 28 John Denver CDs.
2. Sometimes I skip a day showering because I’m not going out and it’s just too much work to go upstairs.
3. I snack all day long (which may be why it’s just too much work to go upstairs).
4. I actually LIKE “The View”
5. I drink juice from the carton.
6. I… no. Too embarrassing. There is a limit.
7. I can’t dance to save my soul, and never could.
8. I am extremely good at creative plagiarism.
9. I watch back to back episodes of “Little House on the Prairie” every day.
10. And then there’s that closet incident…
November 4th, 2006 at 9:17 am
Since someone mentioned getting kissed by Andy Gibb, I’ll start off with…
1. Victoria Principal once read my palm in the back of a limo. (Don’t ask.)
2. I find myself watching “Flavor of Love” even though he totally grosses me out.
3. I love to read celebrity gossip sites even though it’s the polar opposite of what I write about on my blog.
4. I don’t miss drinking, but I miss the lack of inhibition.
5. I can be horribly petty one minute and oddly gracious the next.
6. I adore junk food and wished that I’d never have to cook a meal…ever.
7. I hate to shave my legs and wish that I could somehow do it telepathically.
8. I am the laziest person I know but people somehow think I’m not.
9. I hate the obligations that I feel my family expects of me.
10. My boyfriend is never sexier to me than when he’s laying down a hard funk groove to “Love and Happiness.” (On STAGE…he’s a drummer.)
November 4th, 2006 at 11:14 am
1. I have no idea who Stacy & Clinton are, but I think they sound like either a folk music duo or a radio morning comedy show.
2. I am always disappointed to arrive home and find the mailbox empty, even though it only ever contains bills and grocery advertisements.
3. I watched three consecutive episodes of “Flavor of Love” last season. I could not turn away.
4. I tried watching an episode of the second season, and could not make it through five minutes. Perhaps this means I’ve grown as a person.
5. I can’t stand Justin Timberlake, yet I think Christina Aguilera is brilliant. Since anything you can say about one, you can say about the other, this leaves me with no place rational to go in explaining the double standard. Except that I am right and you are wrong. Stick THAT in your SexyBack.
6. Actually I could say a lot about why I like one more than the other; but this is a comment on Meg’s blog, and this is Timberlake Territory. I don’t want to die before my time.
7. I forget that I should have my hair cut until it reaches truly comic proportions, and then I am suddenly embarrassed to leave the house.
8. My musical tastes are sometimes so fragile that a single snarky comment can make me stop listening to a band. Even if I really like them.
9. Bob Barker began hosting “The Price is Right” the same year I was born. Now he’s retiring, and I wonder what this means for me.
10. I not only can’t dance, I don’t even enjoy trying. People think this means I’m uptight or reserved or whatever, but it really just means I don’t like to dance. People WILL NOT BELIEVE you when you say this. They think you’re justifying a lack of self-confidence. I find this totally annoying.
November 4th, 2006 at 11:17 am
Also I would like to say that I wrote my comment about watching Flavor of Love at the same time Marylin was posting hers, which is now freaking me out. I am not used to coincidences of bad taste involving myself and Flava Flav.
November 4th, 2006 at 12:12 pm
1) I honestly think Jennifer Connelly is something else.
2) Somebody once told me short men should not wear ostentatious hats. Guess what.
3) When Vivaldi comes up on my I-Pod as I shuffle to work (hooked up to car stereo, not earphones, kids), I will almost always click forward to Bebop DeLux.
4) I actually eat SnackWell cookies despite the fact that I have no interest in dieting and am aware that SnackWells can kill you.
5) My rubber chicken is a prized possession.
6) I drink tea almost constantly at work, spilling it on the industrial-grade wall-to-wall with alarming joie de’vivre.
7) One of my favorite things to do is to watch a small town parade
8) I can tolerate Paul Shaffer
9) Charles Darwin is one of my favorite targets for snarky, derisive gibberish.
10) I don’t believe, as hipsters do, that life is poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
November 4th, 2006 at 12:57 pm
Okay, I wouldn’t call it “Timberlake territory” — and we’ve HAD that discussion, anyway, so I know what you think. I’d love to see what everyone else thinks of what you think, though:).
November 4th, 2006 at 1:33 pm
I like Christina Aguilera too, she has an amazing voice. That being said, I still wouldn’t buy any of her albums. But I don’t change the radio station if she comes on.
You know what? I don’t really like to dance either. Maybe if I was a good dancer I’d feel differently but I honestly just don’t care that much about it.
Flava Flav and his hussies give me the creeps.
November 4th, 2006 at 2:16 pm
My dad is no fan of dancing — he can watch it, but he doesn’t enjoy it at all. So I know what you mean on that front — or he does. Because me? I like the dancing.

I think Eric actually has a man crush on JT and is too scared to admit it.
Don’t worry, Eric. You’re in a safe place here.

Ok, Meg…
It’s been a while since I’ve been to your blog and since this was a referral from your most recent post, here I go.
1.- I have a crush on Chris O’Donnell. Worse off, he is married. With kids.
2.- I *had* a crush on Tom Cruise. Pre-Oprah, pre-Katie. Pre-placenta eating. I don’t anymore.
3.- I don’t eat cheese. Unless it’s cheesecake. Prepared by me.
4.- I dislike Chinese food, and all because of an old roommate. You don’t want me to explain to you the whole connection, but she was not Chinese.
5.- I had never opened a bottle of wine up until 2007. And I was a bartender for many years. Never ever needed to open a bottle of wine. Eye-lash batting powers.
6.- I had never tied my own ties. I travelled around the world with pre-made ties.
7.- I will drink the coffee even if it is cold and stale.
8.- I own over 20 pairs of shoes. And I am a male.
9.- I get drunk on two glasses of wine. But can have seven gin and tonics and still walk home. Barely.
10.- I love George Michael’s voice. My brother gave me the “Ladies and Gentlemen: George Michael” 2 CD collection for my birthday a couple of years back. I really love my brother, but on that day, he earned about 10,000 brownie points.
