Sunday Stealing: All About Me Meme

Sunday, September 21, 2008

Judd Corizan, from whom I acquired The Ris­ing Blog­ger, oper­ates Sun­day Steal­ing. Each Sun­day, they rip off a meme from another blog­ger — giv­ing full credit and a link back to that author’s site, of course — and invite every­one to play along.

This week, the “All About Me” meme comes from Alex at Some­day Syn­drome

All About Me

Com­plete each sentence.

I am … hard-working.

I think … that I need to fig­ure out a way to think less, espe­cially late at night so that I can get more sleep! 

I know … that God exists.

I have … a won­der­ful job that I really enjoy for which I am thank­ful every day.

I wish … that Alec Bald­win was wrong about the parental alien­ation phe­nom­e­non and am glad that some­one is finally speak­ing out on the issue.  I will be writ­ing more on this topic soon.

I hate … dis­hon­esty more than anything.

I miss … hear­ing my kids call me “Mama” in little-boy voices.

I fear … for this nation if John McCain and Sarah Palin are elected in November.

I hear … a soft Delta breeze waft­ing through my win­dow — it sounds and feels lovely.

I smell … cheese sticks  … Mattie-Boo is microwav­ing a snack. 

I crave … some of those cheese sticks, but will not suc­cumb to temptation.

I search … for truth on a daily basis.  I’ll let you know when I find it.

I won­der … why the peo­ple who are pro­mot­ing Propo­si­tion 8 — the Cal­i­for­nia ini­tia­tive that would over­turn the Supreme Court deci­sion con­firm­ing that the right to marry is assured to all per­sons on an equal basis — can’t just live their lives the way they see fight and allow other peo­ple to live theirs the same way … in peace.

I regret … noth­ing because regret is a use­less exer­cise and com­plete waste of my scarcest resource, i.e., time.

You can see just the slightest hint of orange and red lurking in the trees near my house.

There is just the slight­est hint of orange and red lurk­ing in the trees near my house.

I love … autumn and am delighted to see the leaves begin­ning to change color.

I ache … for my dear friend, Debra, who is under­go­ing treat­ment for a rare form of lym­phoma after sur­viv­ing colon can­cer more than ten years ago. 

I am not … inclined to judge oth­ers about their life choices.  I don’t have enough time to thor­oughly deal with my own issues … I can’t waste any of it second-guessing others.

I believe … that there is no such thing as happenstance.

I dance … The Time Warp every Hal­loween … just to hear my kids say, “No, Mom. Just … NO! That is wrong on so many lev­els” while rolling their eyes. 

I sing … with the radio while I am driving.

I cry … rarely.

I fight … injustice.

I win … every ver­bal bat­tle with Big­Bob.  He’s a non­ver­bal person.

I lose … my com­po­sure and laugh heartily when Big­Bob zings me with one of his infa­mous left-field nonsequiturs.

I never … lie.  Ever.  Some­times that gets me into trouble.

I always … tell my kids that they are smart, hand­some, and capable.

I con­fuse … myself.  ‘Nuff said.

I lis­ten … intently when a judge is speak­ing to me or my client.

I can usu­ally be found … in a baggy night-shirt when I am at home, so call before you come over!

I am scared … more about the pos­si­bil­ity of los­ing my eye­sight than about any­thing else.

I need … to get to the gym and work out in the pool every sin­gle day in order to be opti­mally healthy and energetic.

I am happy about … too many things to list here!

I imag­ine … what my life would have been like if I had made dif­fer­ent choices merely as an intel­lec­tual exer­cise.  I don’t believe in regret.

Janie,
I enjoyed that meme. I share your fear. Nuff said. I too hate dis­hon­esty and don’t lie. We know how to com­pli­cate our lives, don’t we? :lol: I dress the way you do at home, too.

Have a great week!

I too wish that parental alien­ation did not exist and that sys­tems that hold power over us would rec­og­nize their own addic­tive behav­iors.

Wow this is an inter­est­ing meme, I have seen peo­ple write a word and then expand it at times, this is also good.

I think this Sun­day steal­ing is a good concept.

Steal­ing is a no good job!
