| Oh, but it has been forever and a day since I felt up to answering the challenges of a tag blog!?I still don't know if I'm exactly up for it, but what the heck...I'm not doing anything else besides avoiding that sink full of dishes and preparing my 2007 income tax return.The things I do in the name of procastination.I have my friend April to thank for this one.?Thanks, April!Rules are, list ten weird things about yourself and then tag ten people... well, I'll compile the list, but you can all feel free to tag yourselves and blog or don't appropriately.?Goodness knows I'm the last person who should be demanding blogs of my friends and readers these days!So yes, I am weird, and I admit it.?Ten things that make me weird:10.?I enjoy reading fanfiction.?I also enjoy making fun of it.?If you really want a good laugh, go to GodAwful.net.?Granted, not all the fanfiction you will find on the internet is x-rated and horrible... as a matter of fact, I've found some excellent stuff in the Potterverse that is as G-rated as they make 'em, not to mention other top notch stuff for shows like Stargate SG-1 and Firefly.?Those of you who share my ElfQuest obsession know that I have also dabbled in the art of writing fanfiction, even though I have a bad habit of not finishing anything that I start.?Yes, I enjoy fanfiction.?That makes me weird.9.?I have new neighbors, and it makes me uncomfortable.?For two years, I lived in the apartment above the real estate office where I worked.?The closest neighbors were businesses, and after 5 o'clock, I was free to be as loud as I wanted.?Hell, I could have held raves every weekend and no one would have cared.?Now, though, as you all know, I have moved into a house.?For two months, all was quiet.?The house to the right of me was for sale and vaccant.?The house to the left of me was obviously vaccant, but its story was a mystery.Two weeks ago, in addition to being visited by the Religion Fairy, the Neighbor Fairy also graced me with abundance.?Both houses on both sides of me magically sprouted residents.?On one side, I have acquired spies, who peek out of their windows to see what time I get home at night and what time I leave for work in the morning.?On the other, I have vouyers who obviously have not grasped the concept of curtains in the bathroom, if you catch my meaning.Despite the fact that I'm an extrovert on the internet, I enjoy my "Real Life" privacy.?Somehow, I think that those days are gone...8.?In case you haven't noticed, I am visited by magical beings such as the "Religion Fairy" and the "Neighbor Fairy" on a regular basis.?I have, in past blogs, talked about visits from the "Roommate Fairy" and the "Butt-Flu Fairy", and no doubt have yet to meet some new and interesting Fairy friends.?Such as the "Income Tax Fairy" who I am currently avoiding by writing this blog.7.?I still believe that the Boogeyman is alive and well and he was living in my closet.?Unfortunately, the closets in my new house do not have locking doors... so I've banished him to the basement which is securely locked with a padlock.?He has taken up residence with the dragon that I recently acquired to take care of my religous solicitation problem, and I understand that they have become the best of friends.?6.?No, I'm "not quite right" as my coworkers have so fondly informed me.?Upon discovering that I had more of a mess in my new job than I knew what to do with, I created a box.?That box was filled with horrors the likes of which I don't have time to deal with.?The box also has a label.?It says:
"Marie's Box of Filing Horror.?Do Not Touch On Pain of Death"
I will update this blog with a picture of said box tomorrow, and just so you know, I do enjoy the fact that people in this town who have walked into the office and seen it find it hilarious.?It's wonderful to know that my insanity is entertaining.UPDATED:
BEHOLD THE BOX OF FILING HORROR!5.?As long as we are on the subject of work, and pictures of the insane things that I do, let's talk about my sign that I put on the door when I have to leave to go to the Post Office.?You see, in the office where I work, often times I am the only one manning the fort, and part of my job is the daily procurement of the mail.?If I have to leave to run said errand, I post a sign on the door.?It reads:
GONE POSTAL.WILL RETURN SHORTLY.I will update this blog with another picture tomorrow, as proof of my insanity.?One of my coworkers enjoyed it so much, she took a picture and it has been emailed to the Tonight Show.?You can meet three of my coworkers here, here, and here.?Send them a friend invite and a message.?Tell them I said howdy.UPDATED:
BEHOLD THE GONE POSTAL SIGN!4.?I am feeling my age.?Not so weird, I suppose, but when you consider the things that send me into a mind-numbing tailspin of Nostalgic Fury, such as Alysia's latest blog, then you will start to fathom the obscure weird workings of my mind.?The songs that she has listed take me back to the days of high school dances and roller skating parties with my Girl Scout troop.3.?Yes, I was a Girl Scout from the first grade until every other girl in my troops lost interest, and I still have the badge covered sashes and vests to prove it.2.?Name that '80s one-hit wonder and I'd be willing to bet that I know all of the lyrics by heart.?Try me.1.?I'm weird enough that you are still reading this.?That has to count for something.Go forth and blog your weirdness, my friends, and then let me know so I can point and laugh and feel better about myself. |
