OK so since I don’t have anything to write about, today I’m going to do this meme that JJ tagged me with, and then the meme that Selina tagged me with a week ago and that Diane tagged me with (same meme) a couple of days ago.
Here’s the one from JJ:
Four Jobs You’ve Had In Your Life
1. Carhop at Breaker - They don’t have these anymore, but to those who either don’t remember them or have never lived near one, they’re like a Sonic, where the cars park and order from their own speaker - except we had to bring the food out on rollerskates, just like in the 50’s. I was 14.
2. Service Worker at Maybelline cosmetics factory - Imagine refilling eye shadow machinery from 100 gallon barrels of loose eyeshadow. Imagine coming home and your kids saying “You did cornflower blue today, huh?”.
3. Box Slinger - That’s right. I slung boxes. Don’t ask.
4. Substitute Teacher - Everyday I said “This isn’t me.”
Four Movies You Could Watch Over And Over
1. You’ve Got Mail - I don’t know why.
2. City of Angels - I don’t know why.
3. French Kiss - Do you think I may like Meg Ryan movies? Not really, I just seem to like the type of movie she’s always in.
4. Interview with a Vampire - Ohhhh creepy.
Four Places You’ve Lived
1. I was born on the South Side of Chicago, where my parents lived in a tiny apartment with my four brothers and sister, and my dad’s sister and her husband and their 6 kids at the time (9 later).
2. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, before it was all hotels, in a 4-plex right on the beach.
3. In a 160 year old 14-room house when I was 17 with 3 other teenagers.
4. On the road for about a year, traveling with my dad’s traveling band.
Four TV Shows You Love To Watch
1. 24 - I love/want Jack Bauer.
2. My Name is Earl - I have to agree with JJ on this one.
3. The Office - and again I have to agree with JJ. Comes on same night/channel as My Name is Earl. I love this show.
4. House - I love that sarcastic crippled drug-addict son-of-a-bitch doctor. I want him too.
Four Places You’ve Been On Vacation
1. Denver, Colorado - Not really a vacation but as close as I’ve been to one.
2. Santa Fe, New Mexico - See above.
3. What’s a vacation?

Four Vehicles You’ve Owned
1. 1971 Chevy El Camino - I loved that car. It was my first car and I think I would still have it today if my oldest brother hadn’t borrowed it then pawned it then lost it. Damn him. I really did want to keep that car and hand it down to one of my kids. It was awesome.
2. 1980 Dodge Omni which I left on the side of the road when it broke down and never went back for it.
3. 1972 Toyota Corolla - was given to me when I had no car. This is the car where I had to learn how to drive a stick shift. The starter was messed up, you had to push it then start it. I drove it for a long time, though.
4. 1995 Mazda 626 - bought it out of the paper in 1996. It was incredibly cheap. I drove it for over a year before it was found to be stolen, and taken away from me by the police.
Four People To Be Tagged
1. Diane
2. Selina
3. David
4. Skye
And now the one that Selina and Diane tagged me with:
5 Random facts about me:
1st Random Fact - As a small child I was taken and lived all over the country because my dad was a traveling musician. All of my siblings were born in different states.
2nd Random Fact - I’m the only kid in a musically talented family with zero musical talent.
3rd Random Fact - The best conversation of my life was with a man who escaped from an insane asylum and came into our house and made himself a sandwich… before I called the police.
4th Random Fact - I’ve had dentures since I was 28. Diane has seen me with them out.
5th Random Fact - I can’t believe I just told everyone number 4, and I’m now LMAO.
Tagging: Samantha, Rachel, JJ, Leesa, and Rich even though he won’t do it.



I could watch You’ve Got Mail over and over too. I love Keifer Sutherland! I watched My Name is Earl for the first time this week, LOVED it! Mexican and homemade pizza are awesome:) And your third random tag is wild!
I will now do my tag
Of course not. I already tagged him, big baby spoilsport.
You forgot one random thing. You’re afraid of closets.
Afraid of closets? And I thought I was bad with being afraid to go down into the basement…lol.
Is it possible that you want to be Meg Ryan in those movies? Imagine yourself into her character?
If you’re really reading my blog on a regular basis, why is it that I haven’t received any comments from you in ages? I could prove it if I had your little thingamaging in my side bar too…lol.
I was taking a moratorium on meme’s, but like you, I don’t have anything else to say right now, so I’ll work on it.
Sometimes, skye, i just read quickly a few blogs everyday, then go back later when I have more time and comment. And who doesn’t wanna be Meg Ryan? lol.
Diane, I’m not afraid of every closet. Just the ones with Mafia members hiding in them. You know, the ones I make you open. And before you opened it, your face looked pretty terrified too, lmfao.
Leesa, let me know when you’ve done yours so I can come and read it.
Well done. I thought about including House in my TV show list too. Great show.
That El Camino sounds badass.
[…] Ok I’ve had two memes forwarded my way, one from Diane, and one from Mel. So Diane’s first: […]
I’m answering mine in your comments section… hope that’s okay!

OHHH yeah I could watch Boogie Nights over and over too. That damned rollergirl! lol.
JJ, the El Camino was very badass. My brother who pawned it and lost it, I saw him at Thanksgiving last year and someone got on the subject of cars, then somewhere in there he said yeah that El Camino that Mel used to have, now that was a great car. So I glared at him and said why yes, wayne, that WAS a great car. He asked why I was looking at him like that. Apparently he had forgotten all about it. I reminded him, and he said “I did not!” and everone in the family said “YOU DID TOO” lol… he felt really bad (all these years later) and said he owed me an El Camino. I told him he owed one to my daughter since that’s who would have had it now. Who knows, maybe he’ll make up for it some day. SIGH.
Thanks Mel, I’m quiet often on your page too, especially when some weird discussion pops up, these days I’m all day hanging around reading crazy and funny comments! Good job, keep on blogging
btw check my Flickr not so good as some photographers from the Flickr community but well nobody has set quality limit over there.

Okay, I’m going to get my butt in gear and get this one done for next week, probably Monday 23rd. Hope that’s not too long of a wait, but I want to make it a good one.
