A Game of Tag -or- What Happens When I'm Too Lazy To Come Up With My Own Original Posts

Bleh. Does the title give enough away already? I admitted recently to my much more productive sister that I find it strangely difficult to find anything worth posting on a regular basis. I'm serious about the lazy part too. Before long you might come across a post here one day exhibiting a collection of lint that I've extracted and collected from our laundry machines. Let's pray it never comes to that.

So here it is then. My sister "tagged" me on her blog, and now I have to continue the process or else choose between the curse of getting struck by lightning or listening to a repeating loop of Chumbawamba's greatest hits.

A-Attached or Single: Single.
B-Best Friend: I'm fortunate to have several good friends as well as a handful of non-hostile acquaintances, but I'd still have to say my best friend is my sister, Beth.
C-Cake or Pie: I take back that 'attached or single' bit. I'm very attached to pie. Cake's gotta be moist if it's even gonna come close.
D-Day of Choice: It's easier for me to say which days I don't like. Tuesdays and Thursdays are dead to me. Saturday was always the day I had to mow the lawn, but occasionally we got to go to the movies afterwards. I'm undecided on that one I guess.
E-Essential Item: Chap stick. My family knows that this is not a joke either.
F-Favorite Color: Green. Everything's better with more green. Except the Green Peace. There's no hope for them.
G-Gummi Bears or Worms: Um, neither. I don't like candy very much. If it's sour you might convince me.
H-Hometown: Mesa is and will perhaps always remain my home, but I was born in Salinas, California. So I claim dual state ship.
I-Indulgence(s): What the...? Do I have to answer that one? Well then I'd have to say yogurt, but not just any yogurt. Thick & Creamy is happiness in dairy form.
J-January or July: Seriously, who comes up with these questions? July. I hate the cold.
K-Kids: None. I still am one.
L-Life Is Incomplete Without: Family. Dogs. Meat. Yogurt. But not necessarily in that order. Yogurt's still really high up there.
M-Marriage Date: Hello, I said I was single. Is anyone even paying attention to these things?
N-Number of Siblings: Two. Older sister, younger brother, and the occasional dog that became a substitute. But my my siblings are cool enough that they each ought to count for two.
O-Oranges or Apples: Oranges, because mushy apples are an abomination. Now, if it's a crisp apple... I'd still have to go with oranges.
P-Phobias or Fears: I posted something related to this a while back. In a nutshell though, I'd say heights, flying insects, dancing and deep water.
Q-Quote: Dang. Beth stole mine.
R-Reason to Smile: Well I'm still alive aren't I?
S-Season: Summer's already happenin' cause that's when I was born, but I actually prefer the Fall, when things are a little cooler. And dying.
T-Tag Six: I can't think of six right now. Sigh. I'll take the lightning, please.
U-Unknown Fact About Me: I wear my socks inside out.
V-Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animal: Don't you like how they worded this one? I mean if you admit you eat meat you're automatically labeled as an Oppressor. So if Hitler were a vegetarian that would make him better???
W-Worst Habit: I think it would have to be sarcasm. Or maybe it's just indecisiveness.
X-X-Rays or Ultrasounds: Well, the "ultra" in ultrasounds makes it sound cooler...
Y-Your Favorite Food: London Broil. Yes, meat. Even the cows that probably serve no other purpose than to feed us. I enjoy a good one with Hitler every now and again.
Z-Zippers or Zebras: Come on. This doesn't make any sense. These two aren't even related. They're just two words that start with a "z." Fine. Zebras, for when I can't get beef. Zippers snag.

There. That oughta hold y'all back for at least another week or so.

Interesting things--though I do believe I knew those answers already!

Hey, your answers made me laugh out loud. Other people have said you were funny, but I never knew! Way to skip some of those hard ones. And you know who first started wearing socks inside-out, don't you?

You slay me, bff. I always knew you were funny. You learned it from me... thanks for playing along! I'll talk Thor out of zapping you. Because, you know, I'm tight with all the Norse gods. *B

Good call on actually completing the tag. Though if it ever comes to it again...I'd choose lightning over Chumbawumba hits on repeat if I were you. There are some things worse than lightning... like Chumbawumba repeat...also beets.

Socks inside-out....why?
I keep forgetting I am supposed to do this tag too.

Kristen said...

Socks inside-out so the seam doesn't rub, and because the inside of socks is furry and fun.
