When I resurrected this new/old blog and transferred the posts from my old web server, I found a draft of a post that contained an incomplete meme. I have no recollection of creating this thing so I assume it’s fairly old. I could have deleted the draft, but hey, it’s almost completely filled out so I may as well finish it. By the content of the draft I have to assume it’s one of those “10 things you never knew about me” memes. Even if it wasn’t, I guess it is now.
- Like Sarah, I can’t sleep if my knees touch. I sleep with a “leg pillow” between my legs for this exact reason.
- I’m repulsed by corn. I have no idea why.
- I hesitate to use foul language around religious friends. As with the corn thing, I have absolutely no idea why.
- I was never in the 2nd grade. I jumped from 1st to 3rd.
- I don’t trust gorgeous women, like, at all, so I rarely pay any attention to them. People think this is really weird. Whatevuh.
- I don’t like watching sports. This, combined with my apathy toward hela-hot women, makes me an incomplete man.
- I smoked for 15 years, but I quit 10 years ago.
- I still crave cigarettes on a daily basis and I don’t feel all that much healthier for quitting.
- A psychic therapist once told me I’m “androgynous.” M’kay.
- I was an absolute societal leper until (at 14) I moved from Maryland to Virginia, where I actually almost became popular. I consider this to be an indictment of Maryland.
Sorry, I’m not tagging anyone.
Nobody tags me with memes. Okay, a friend from R7 did it once but that’s it. Since then, bupkis. You know what? I don’t care. I don’t need taggage to do one of these friggin’ things. If I want to do a meme on my own, I’m gonna, phhhthththttthhhh. So without further ado, here’s some kind of 10 thing that I saw on another person’s blog, but this one has my answers. Call it whatever you want.
- 10 seconds ago I was trying to type an intro to this meme.
- 10 minutes ago I was reading Fake Steve Jobs.
- 10 hours ago I was reading Part One of McSweeneys 26.
- 10 days ago I replaced my windshield.
- 10 weeks ago I was trying to stop writing “2007″ in favor of “2008.”
- 10 months ago I turned 41.
- 10 years ago I was doing tech support for Caldera.
- 10 years from now I’ll be wondering why I pursued graphic design.
- 10 months from now I’ll be a full blown designer earning a designer income.
- 10 weeks from now I’ll be celebrating B’s birthday.
- 10 days from now I’ll begin counting the days ’til my next paycheck.
- 10 hours from now I’ll be hopefully asleep.
- 10 minutes from now I’ll no longer have to take a leak.
- 10 seconds from now I’ll click on the Publish button.
So there.
Am I the last person on the Intertubes to discover hulu.com? I just watched The Big Lebowski and didn’t pay a dime to do it.
…I dreamt that I had a blog. The blog ran Wordpress. I decided Wordpress sucked ass, then I tried other blog and CMS software.
Then my basement got flooded after a hurricane hit the coast of Oregon and I took down my web server. It stayed down a long, long time, then I brought it back up with Textpattern as my blog software.
Then I blew away Textpattern when I found that I couldn’t import my old Wordpress blog entries and decided to hold my nose and use Wordpress again. I changed the name of the blog from “Erik’s Blog” to “Meat.”
Then I removed my energy mask and I was Cameron Diaz. Then…
Wait, was it a dream? It sure felt real.
