Another meme! It's just that kind of day!
Yes, I'm spamming you with another meme. The 16 factoids one that's been going around, in fact. I thought about doing it when I saw it on maychorian's journal this morning, and then rabiagale tagged me with it on Facebook, so.
I actually posted this already on Facebook while LJ was busy being eaten by the Russians this afternoon. Now that LJ is back up, I am crossposting here. Because I'm bored and I can and you're not even my real dad! *doorslam*
1. I do, as Rabia points out, love guns, highheels, and lipstick. I don't think I've ever used all three in conjunction, though. Which is a shame.
2. I love attention and am the opposite of shy. Given this fact, I find it sort of odd that performing for an audience is scary for me.
3. I want to be an outdoorsy girl who goes hiking and swims in lakes and plays basketball. So far, I have utterly failed to become that girl.
4. I can tell you from experience that bellydancing to thumping club music is not easy. Maybe if I learned some of that stompy Tunisian and Ethiopian style stuff.
5. My little sister, green_tea_lady, keeps telling me to try using pork in my cooking but I was traumatized by some very dry and flavorless chops as a child, thus I remain wary.
6. For Christmas, she gave me a copy of one of our favorite cookbooks with post-its stuck on all the pork recipes that say "DO NOT BE AFRAID OF PORK" and "YOU MUST LEARN TO LOVE PORK."
7. In the last two items? I correctly typed "pork" exactly once. The rest of the time I typed "prok."
8. Prok, prok, prok.
9. Even leaving aside the childhood trauma, I'm sort of reluctant to try cooking pork (prok!) because it will mean an end to the ongoing tet-a-tet with my sister.
10. I'm going to stop talking about pork eventually.
11. I may never stop talking about prok, however.
12. I find the American Civil War fascinating but have a limited attention span for dry non-fiction and a terrible head for dates. I'm pretty sure this means I fail as a Civil War Buff.
13. I do, however, possess the ability and inclination to unload random anecdotes and bizarre legends from the War Between the States on anyone who is unable to stop me. At length. Glazed looks will not save you.
14. I had a crush on Justin the Rat in Secret of NIMH when I was a kid.
15. Do not even look at me like that, Peter Strauss had a voice that could launch a thousand ships. So what if his character was a rodent?
16. I answer to Marie, Ri, Boobug, Babe, Beebit, Maries, and Dude in real life. On the interwebs I usually go by "kalquessa," though I'm "eatthepeppers" on Flickr and most of my craft- and cooking-related communities and my del.icio.us is under "marie_of_romania" for some reason that I can't recall. I mean, I know why I chose the name, it's from a snarky Dorothy Parker poem, but I can't remember why I didn't just use "kalquessa."
