Meg-you are so damn funny in like a gentile Nora Ephron kind of way. Don’t know if you write for TV or movies but you’d be great.
not a good idea for me to get into this one today im a wee bit too crabby but i do have to say internet snobbery… i really hate it and it is everywhere, facebook, twitter, linking, not linking, unlinking. im guilty of it too, it just gets to be a bit much sometimes.
I have used your “love list” idea and it has really helped me. But even your crabby list cheered me!
oh oh…
just found out…
I don’t care if you are crabby or sweet…as long as I get my Meg!
This can’t be good.
Gummi candies that have gone rock-hard
Ewww, gross.
“Pap†as an abbreviation for “paparazziâ€. Eeek. Couldn’t you do “razzi†or something?
So, if someone insults the paparazzi, is that a…. well, I’m sure you can guess where that’s going…
Absolute home run with the “Must be nicers”. And it’s all delivered in a monotonous, near-death tone. You are right, Meg, YES, IT IS NICE. Who are you? You are somehow me, in my view, yeah.
Ok, Meg. I’ll do a love list, since I can’t do a crabby list that would do much more that parrot what you’ve put. I tell ya, it is so scary that I have this much in common with a Liberal Woman in Canada.
Anyway, here it is…not counting anything to do with family, since that’s too easy.
I love doing something for someone just because they need it.
I love SOFT Haribo Gummi Bears.
I love Sunday afternoons watching movies on my laptop with the earphones on.
Playing Xbox Live games with other guys and girls over 30.
Singing along loudly to Dropkick Murphys and Great Big Sea.
That my man-crush is Harry Connick Jr. and being just fine with that.
Punk and Rock music with Bagpipes thrown in.
Shoes that fit by big-a$$ feet.
My Gamecocks, and being able to yell GO COCKS without being gay.
and finally…
People that are happy with who they are and can see through the BS of those crap-heads who try to drag them down.
Meg is everyone, in some way. Which is what makes her so easy to love.
*people saying, “Check out my latest blog,” when what they mean is the latest post ON their blog
*people saying, “I could care less,” when what they mean is that they could, in fact, NOT CARE LESS
*people saying, “a tad bit,” period. It can be a tad, or it can be a bit. Both are nouns in this context. Everyone STOP saying “tad bit.”
Ummm…maybe I should stop talking to other people for a while.
On the other hand, my co-worker today, with no hint of irony, used the phrase “uppity city-folk,” and it made me LOVE HER.
Wait. And you are a huge hockey fan? I was the best defensemen that my upstate NY frozen winter pond ever had… or at least I fought for that title. You are an intrigue, Meg, I truly hope you find happiness because it deserves you. Love the bee whisperer pic.
OMG! LOL! ;)
Is it wrong that your crabby list made me laugh…out loud…
Meg, I say HURRAH to you for these ones:
–People who call someone who is larger than a size 6 “full-figuredâ€. Oh yeah? I call you “full-idiotâ€
You’re actually much more polite than I about this – I refer to them as F**KING MORONS!
–People who don’t stop at crosswalks, ESPECIALLY in the rain because HOW IMPORTANT IS YOUR SCHEDULE, NO I INSIST YOU GO FIRST AND I DIDN’T NEED THAT LIMB, NO WORRIES!
This one just made me laugh b/c I have been there so many times…Uh yeah HELLO, I’d be the one you almost killed while talking on your cell phone AND smoking a cigarette AND trying to shift gears in your really big 4 x 4 that you can barely see over the steering wheel of!
Girl, you have yourself a crabby day! Everyone deserves them once in a while! When you start mumbling to yourself about William Shatner, you’ll know it’s time to seek help ;)
I hope you have a good weekend!
Our bananas say the same damn thing – it’s obviously a worldwide conspiracy.
I was too crabby to comment yesterday and now I find myself eating perfectly not-rock-hard gummi bears (which contribute to my full-figure size 6) and discovering that my pants are too short.
I’m torn between love and crabby, so I’ll follow your advice and go with love:
* Love receiving packages from Germany filled with Haribo gummi bears (thanks Dad)
* Love not having to be anywhere at all today
* Love my temporary roommate’s obsession with wanting to open a bowling alley
* Love how even a Meg crabby list will make me smile!
* California drivers in the rain
* waking up in the middle of the night thinking of work
* “to do” lists
* soda
* people who ask “can my dog just say ‘Hi” to yours?”
* being cold
* and damp
* California freeway conditions
* delayed flights
* cancelled flights
* getting stuck in Vegas when all you want to do id go home
* blisters
* feeling a cold coming on
* chapped lips
* dry skin on your back
* when David goes out of town
* tech problems
* the car wreck I was in
* cancer
* walking into a cold house
* Christmas
* people running red lights
People at the dog park who ask me what I do. I assume they mean as a profession and guess what?? I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT WORK. God!
i know i am a day late but ….
the crabby list has perfect timing.
things that irk me today:
- having skunk smell in my car!!!
- the argument that it can’t possibly smell skunky in a car if the skunk was not physically inside the car.
YES. IT. CAN.
- watching someone not take full advantage of opportunities in front of them. repeatedly.
- unfortunate haircuts taking a loooong time to grow out. also, having to find a new hair dresser.
- having plans on hold indefinitely until someone gets around to answering.
- finding the most gorgeous boots and not being able to give them a good, loving home.
- my highly sensitive stomach.
the love list
- late night car washes
- odor removal solutions from the ‘net
- local radio station’s push for a new Feb. stat holiday – go BC!
- upcoming events to look forward to.
- crabby lists! misery loves company.
