Sunday Stealing 9/27

I was late for the last meme. My own meme nonetheless. But I'm a little bit early getting this one posted. Go me!

Sunday Stealing: A Fall Meme

It’s not really fall in until...

To me there are really only two seasons.  Flip flop season and non-flip flop season.  The latter being when there is snow on the ground.

What did you need to do in the waning days of summer for it to feel complete?

I must be boring as nothing significant comes to mind.  

A person I know was wrong for me but about whom I frequently thought after a break-up was...

OMG do I even want to go here?  I won't name names but it was a boy that I met in junior high.  Yes, I know that is vague...even my Mom may not be able to narrow it down.  But I thought about him for a long time.  I still think of him once in a while but now that I'm older (ahem, like 16 years older) I now think...."Ugh, he was such a good Mormon boy...so not my type."

If you could only attend one major sporting event what would it be?

Ok, in my last meme I totally bitched about football and NASCAR.  I think it'd be pretty cool to go to the Super Bowl.  And a big NASCAR race...but, I admit I'd be looking for Ricky Bobby so I could go bump knuckles with him and yell "Shake N Bake!"

Or one of the big boxing matches in Vegas.  Now, that would be fun!

(yeah, yeah I know it said ONE major sporting event....if I was guaranteed a Ricky Bobby meet-and-greet it would be the NASCAR.  There, happy now?)

Assuming that you write an anonymous or partially anonymous blog, by what non-physically identifying characteristics might you be identified in a bar?

Um, my potty mouth?  The girl that would be spewing vulgarities, dirty jokes and swear words...that would be me.

Most blogs cover some sort of niche – personal, political, dating, culinary, etc. What topic, if any, would you like to address on your blog but doesn’t fit into your niche?

Smar-assed-ness.  And yes, I just totally made that word up.  I don't do politics, religion, dating...

If you could manipulate the time space continuum and give as many as three pieces of advice to a younger version of yourself, what advice would you give and to what age of you?

1- Learn to manage money, save money and spend wisely. 

2- Your parents really do know what they're talking about.  Trust them.

3- Don't swoon over the above mentioned Mormon boy.

Who among your friends do you really wish had a blog because their stories, or perspective on something ought to be shared?

My BFF Megan.  She makes me laugh.  She is crazy.  We could have twin blogs.

If you were to take an e-cation (vacation from the trappings of our electronic world,) and assuming that employment obligations would allow it, how long of a break could you take? What would you miss the most, the least?

Current day:  I'd miss Facebook the most.  Yes, I'm that lame.  But I looooove Farmville, Mobsters 2, Farkle and Mafia Wars.  The least?  Email.  They're so time consuming.

On September 11th of this year, I attended a couple of parties and was somewhat conflicted by the fact that this ignoble anniversary shall pass with it being just another day in the eyes of many (and in some ways my own eyes as well.) Thoughts?

It's never just been another day to me.  I wrote up a special blog post on that day.  It's just a very memorable day for many and is not something that I can easily not think about.  I watched the news footage that played over again.  Read the stories online.  It's not something I take lightly.

How high are your walls? Who was the last person to scale them? What tools should would-be climbers have on their belt?

It depends on who you are.  If you've fucked me over and managed to not be jettisoned from my list of friends for whatever reason...that wall is high.  Very high.  I don't trust you, never will...but I can be civil to you.

Last person to scale them?  I don't know...honestly, I don't.  I don't just let anyone in.  And some may argue "well you have a public blog that you update regularly".  True, can't argue that.  But this blog is only a glimpse of things that go on in my life.  I don't blog every minute detail of my life.

Tools for would-be-climbers?  Trust is something that is earned.

The sexiest thing a man or a woman can say to you (or has said to you) is:

Your daddy must have been a baker, because you've got a nice set of buns.
