Sunday Stealing: The More About Me Me Me Meme

Sunday, September 28, 2008

The folks at Sun­day Steal­ing rip off a meme from another blog­ger each Sun­day. They give full credit and a link back to that author’s site, of course — and invite every­one to play along. This week, the “More About Me Me Me” meme comes from Poppingbubbles’s Weblog. She lifted it from I Read Banned Books, but it was orig­i­nated by avitable

More About Me Me Me

My favorite age: Current.

My best friend(s): Rob, Lynette, Barb, Jackie, Joyce, Chingle.

My celebrity crush: Cur­rent: Jon Hamm. For­mer: Gan­dolfini.

My defin­ing char­ac­ter­is­tic: Drive.

My most evil moment: I argued Con­ser­va­tor­ship of Wend­land before the Cal­i­for­nia Supreme Court on May 30, 2001. Imme­di­ately after the oral argu­ment, media rep­re­sen­ta­tives descended upon us. In par­tic­u­lar, Good Morn­ing, Amer­ica inter­viewed all coun­sel — sep­a­rately. The next morn­ing, I turned on the broad­cast and saw that my arro­gant, obnox­ious, overly-self-confident oppos­ing coun­sel, James Braden, got the open­ing closeup shot and accom­pa­ny­ing sound­bite: “We lost this case today.” The best revenge is vic­tory.

My favorite food: Mexican.

My biggest hatred:  Big­otry in any form.

My most ille­gal activ­ity:  I invoke the Fifth Amendment.

My need for jus­tice:  The erad­i­ca­tion of discrimination.

My most knowl­edge­able field:  Civil rights law.

My life’s goal:  To do some­thing that matters.

My mother’s influ­ence: “Never be depen­dent upon a man.  Get a good edu­ca­tion and be able to sup­port yourself.”

My nerdi­est point:  Def­i­nitely high school.

My old­est mem­ory:  I can’t remember.

My per­fect date:  A relax­ing, deli­cious din­ner fol­lowed by a won­der­ful con­cert or Broad­way musi­cal and after-show drinks at a club with fab­u­lous live music.  Then back to the hotel … 

My unan­swered ques­tion: Why do the worst things hap­pen to the best people?

My ran­dom fact: My ears are pierced four times in each lobe.  Some­body asked me why I have the same num­ber in each ear.  It’s because they have to be sym­met­ri­cal and bal­anced.  I used to be an accoun­tant, after all.

My stu­pid­est deci­sion:  There are so many to choose from … It would prob­a­bly be that first mar­riage at the Sil­ver Bells Wed­ding Chapel in Las Vegas.

My favorite tele­vi­sion show:  Cur­rently: Mad Men. All-time: The Sopra­nos.

My style of under­wear: None of your business!

My favorite veg­etable: Carrots.

My weak­est trait: Impatience.

My X-men power: No clue, since I’ve never seen X-Men.

My strongest yearn­ing: To have more hours in each day , , , or find a way to give sleep up altogether.

My moment of Zen: Sit­ting on a bal­cony over­look­ing the sea wear­ing my favorite big, lumpy sweater with a cock­tail, good book, and no sound other than that of the waves crash­ing and birds fly­ing overhead.

Janie,
Nice to meet you. You sound like an inter­est­ing per­son. I thought most lawyer/accountants worked for the Com­pany? :mrgreen: As a lover of red wine and one who detests ‘white zin’, I’m sure your home­town knows the real value of zin. Good luck.
