it’s bad facebook meme week here, so i’ll be posting not one, not two, but three of the worst facebook memes i could come up with. try not to read with any sharp objects lying around.
I started writing this about a month ago, back when “25 Random Things” was still a meme on Facebook. Unfortunately, I’m no where near as interesting as I had originally thought, so it took forever to come up with a list that wasn’t tortuously dull to read through.
- I refuse on principle to have any regrets … you make the best decision you can with the information you have, and move on.
- When I wear a watch, I wear it on my “wrong” hand because that’s how my brother (left-handed) did/does it.
- In 5th grade, I won an award from Optimist International.
- I don’t remember anything that happened before seventh grade that isn’t a picture in a photo album.
- The first album I ever owned was The Police’s Synchronicity.
- I have the world’s worst taste in music (chick rock/chick pop) and place the blame squarely on my debbie gibson/shania twain-loving brother.
- I’ve been hit on by so many men that I’ve stopped counting, but I knew I was very, very straight ever since the first time I kissed Christine Holt in 9th grade (felt it in my knees).
- I named my future kids (three of them, all girls) back in high school and believe I still have a realistic shot of using the names.
- My 10th grade English teacher was awesome, and I often wonder what she’s up to.
- I can’t think of a single funny one-liner that I have said in the last two decades that wasn’t stolen from a movie.
- I was two classes away from being a Theatre major, but refused to take acting 101 and 102 on principle. I was a theatrical designer — did 35 light designs at nine different theaters before I graduated — and acting was “beneath” me.
- I’ve studied three different languages (Spanish, Arabic, Russian) for a total of twelve semesters, but sucked at all of them.
- If I could do College over again, I’d study Sociology.
- I occasionally worry that I will never reconcile my spirituality with the mess that is organized religion.
- I’m quite possibly the only person in the world to be turned on by women in colonial garb.
- I keep a list of every book I’ve read since 1997.
- I have incredible hair envy whenever I see a black man with short dreads (specifically Lenny Kravitz.)
- Up until five years ago, I had never been farther west than central Ohio.
- The most regularly trafficked part of my website exhibits paintings of Mary Magdalene through art history
- Even though i do it for a living, I hate technology, and refuse to buy the first generations of pretty much anything.
- I’m permanently concerned about being awkward in social situations, which (not surprisingly) usually makes me awkward in social situations.
- I’d give up every skill I have in my generalist (wide, not deep) skill set to be a virtuoso at any one thing, and it doesn’t matter a lick to me what that one thing would be.
- When I retire, I want to be a taxi cab driver in Washington, D.C.
- I don’t believe that Big Bird qualifies as a Muppet, and get angry when people make that argument … even though they are right.
- I have never been happier in my life than I am right now, and just about all of that is my wife’s fault.
