10 honest things meme
I'm not a big fan of this kind of meme, but a tag's a tag, so here it is. Courtesy of Holly.
1. Right now I'm listening to a song called 'Keep Your Jesus Off My Penis.' (Here you go.)
2. Today I got two books about Fairies out of the library. Y'know how, according to the tales, fairies sometimes steal human children and replace them with changelings? Well apparently, sick or deformed babies were sometimes suspected of being changelings. One of the ways to get rid of a changeling baby is to torture it until its fairie parents decide to rescue it and switch back. So babies would be whipped, thrown in fires, etc. as late as the 19th century. :-(
3. I had a really good night's sleep last night. I should have started closing my curtains at night again ages ago.
4. I've been wearing the top I'm wearing now for *does the math* almost 40 hours (except for when I had a shower). I will not still be wearing it tomorrow.
5. I wrote this sentence last.
6. There are planet and star stickers on the ceiling above my bed. They glow in the dark. :-D
7. I'm not very good at sustaining interest in something over a long period of time. I'm more of an obsessive-interest-that-lasts-a-week kind of person. That is why I leave so many books, especially long ones, unfinished and why I'm not going to start knitting a jersey any time soon.
8. I'm hungry.
9. One of the things that amuses me most at work is the strategies kids use to try to cover up the fact that they farted. One started making fart noises with his mouth, as if he'd been doing that all along. Another, after thinking for a moment, turned around and said, "That was you!" These kids seem to think I was born yesterday, which is weird given that I spend most of my time at work imparting to them my demonstrably ineffable wisdom.
10. Now I'm listening to Bette Midler - 'The Rose.'
helps you feel your life, protects you,
cradles you and connects you to everything.
This whole life I remember has led back unto itself.
Never turned me into someone else.

Hahah you so just did this because I tagged you for it, and I'm super cool. :D
1) ROFL! That song is hilarious. How in the world did you ever find it?
2) That's...kind of disturbing! May I ask why you decided to get books about fairies out of the library to begin with? Was it anything to do with uni?
3) I told you that! I'd been wondering how on earth you even managed to fall asleep with your curtains open to begin with! I don't think I could do it, I'd be too worried about there being some weirdo outside peering in at me!
4) LMAO. Awesome.
5) Ok. So I have to take the bait and ask, if you wrote it last, why is it #5? o.O
6) I noticed you neglected to tell the internets about the VERY geeky timeline which is on the wall next to your bed! Has it grown yet?
7) Hmm, I'm kind of the same, but I find that even though I might lose interest in something (like cleaning up) for awhile, I will eventually come back to it again and pick up where I left off. Do you do that too, or do you quit permanently?
8) Might I suggest food?
9) HAHAHA! This is awesome! I read this before I went to work this morning (didn't have time to comment) and laughed really hard. Your kids sound hilarious!
10) Ugh. I hate that song...but I love the one you quoted. I think it should have been a Music Monday. :)
- Great song. Great great great.
- Really hope you change that top before we come round for dinner tonight.
- Ingenious trick with the making of the fart noises! I used to have a similar trick - fart, then make a noise with some other part of my body (scrape foot on the floor, hum) to distract people from the first noise.
- The word verification is 'dentard.'
Hilarious song. Not as funny, but one of my favorites is SJ Tucker's "Go Away God Boy".
Love "the Rose".
