First off, let it be known that I generally hate Facebook. Of course I have an account, though. I dislike myself for that, though. One thing that drives me crazy are the Facebook memes that bubble up now and then, like "25 things you don't know about me" or whatever. I loathe those. Loathe. LOATHE.
Then I saw this one today, and as I naturally answered along in my own head, I realized how unbearably pathetic my existence is right now. I could blame my lameness on the oppressive heat this summer, but it's mostly because when I am alone two things happen: 1.) I work about 12-16 hours a day, sometimes 24+ (several times, plus one a-comin' up on Sunday), because I can and what would I do at home? and 2.) I immediately go onto vampire schedule. Get to work at 2 pm or so, stay til 4 am or so. Drink blood intermittently. You know, normal things.
Anyway, here are my woefully, cringe-inducing answers to some stupid Facebook meme. Whatever, it's my blog. Ariane still hasn't posted jack squat.
1. What time did you get up this morning?
Morning? What am I, Superman? 1:30 pm
2. How do you like your steak?
Medium rare
3. What was the last film you saw at the Theater?
I don't know, maybe Ratatouille? I don't go to movies.
4. What is your favorite TV show?
I don't have a favorite TV show since I gave up on LOST
5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Pacific Northwest, I think. Physically the most beautiful area on Earth, IMHO, plus politically close to my (apparently) radical liberalism (for the US, elsewhere I am considered "centrist" or even "right-of-center") and (best part)
lots of
non-religious people, which after being surrounded by the
loonies here in
Texas, is kind of like Shangri-La. (Not that they don't exist up NW, but they probably aren't being appointed to the
state BOE or, you know, the governor.) San Diego and I are not political matches, but I think I could make an exception. If I were still single, I'd do a year in Fairbanks and/or Whitehorse and/or Yakutsk, just to see what it's like. I would hate it.
6. What did you have for breakfast?
V8 and jambalaya. Basically the only things in the fridge right now.
7. What is your favorite cuisine?
Tex-Mex. Next question.
8. What foods do you dislike?
Black licorice. That's about it. Oh, and now Schweinshaxe. Never again.

Home
10. Favorite dressing?
Don't have a favorite
11. What kind of vehicle do you drive?
'98 Ford Explorer, because I am a huge hypocrite

13. Where would you visit if you had the chance?
Siberia. Fr srs. Or Namibia. Also fr srs.
14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?
This is a stupid question that does not merit an answer
15. Where would you want to retire?
Where's Lenny going to be living? I'll hunt her down and become a drain on her.
16. Favorite time of the day?
What does this mean?
17. Where were you born?
Beautiful Baton Rouge, LA. Thank FSM I got moved out of the hellhole that is the Deep South... to beautiful, progressive Missouri. Ah, that's the ticket.
18. What is your favorite sport to watch?
Oh, hey, finally a good question. In person: baseball (preferably college). On TV: college football.

I don't have a credit card and find this question to be irresponsible, much like #30

Jeebus no

And there you have it. I would have loved to have seen my answers to this back when I was 22. It'd still be pathetic, but at least in a "got drunk and struck out with a girl(s)" kind-of-at-least-making-an-effort-to-be-fun type of pathetic.
I can't wait til I hit my 30s.
*Dora is the unofficial name of my car. Kiwi named his car Jimmy... because it was a Jimmy, so I figured I had to one-up the stupidity of naming cars.
Why not: I just checked into groups to see if there was a "Dirty Fucking Hippie" group I could join. There is. I did (don't forget that the DFH's were right all along). Then when I checked which groups I
have joined, I saw that years back I joined "I sit down to pee," which (stunningly) has only 17 members. All of whom were my college friends. So pathetic. "I sit down to pee" is related to the group "I deny wearing a diaper. Oh that? Yeah, that is a diaper." and "Creed is almost as TIGHT as Nickelback." Boy, weren't we funny? /sarcasm
