The science of grasping life by the short hairs

Meme This, Sanjaya’s Tweeners!

Posted on | April 9, 2007 |

I was tagged to do this meme thing a couple of days ago, and it completely used up whatever space my brain had left for constructive thought. With respect to this meme, graciously forwarded to me by Mel at Freak Parade before I could even warm my fingers this morning, I’m pleased to say it’s less challenging than the last. I couldn’t resist snarking about my favorite American Idol tweener heart throb along the way. Bombs away…

Three things that scare me

  1. People who tailgate
  2. Going to the dentist
  3. This person Frightening and sad.

Three people who make me laugh

  1. Spike (Rhys Ifans) in the film Notting Hill
  2. These people
  3. That baby on YouTube — until I cry. Thanks, again!

Three things I love

  1. Sappy chic films
  2. My guys, of course
  3. Snarking and wonking about Sanjaya just for the entertainment value — mine — not yours.

Three things I hate

  1. Junk mail — the snail version and the e-version. Equally.
  2. The green sauce at the bottom of the veggie bin in my refrigerator
  3. The Universe of Sanjaya or whatever he gleefully called it after Simon gave up. Not him. Just the universe. Or something.

Three things I don’t understand

  1. Violence.
  2. Sanjaya’s hair drama, Haley’s vibratto, and the Theory of Relativity
  3. Anything that comes out of George Bush’s mouth. Ever. Because.

Three things on my desk

  1. Blaxter. He shares himself with me daily when I write.
  2. A ridiculous number of stickes that I’ve written notes on
  3. Four credit cards that came in the mail and need to be cancelled — who sends these things, anyway?

Three things I want to do before I die

  1. Read all those books I’ve been complaining about
  2. Travel through Provence — slowly or permanently
  3. Be completely satisfied with whomever wins on American Idol this season, as long as it isn’t Sanjaya — or his hair. Because then, I’ll die.

Three things I can do

  1. Still play Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata w/o too many mistakes
  2. Bake this
  3. Sing harmony to Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sounds of Silence” whether someone wants me to or not and still sound better than Sanjaya.

Three things I can’t do

  1. Jog anywhere for any length of time, thank goodness
  2. Eat with chopsticks no matter how much I try
  3. Watch inane reality shows — well, except American Idol. Does that count? Even if I’m disgusted with Tweenie voters.

Three things I think you should listen to

  1. Your children — whenever they talk, no matter what
  2. Your conscience when you are going to eat that second piece of anything you don’t need
  3. How absolutely horrible that cute kid Sanjaya sounds when he sings. Listen. Listen really hard and then steal your Tweener’s phone so she can’t vote.

Three things you should never listen to

  1. That horrible vibrating music coming from the car next to you at the red light with the driver who has being obnoxious down to an art
  2. Anyone who is trying to sell you anything on the phone ever. Don’t answer it. Step away from the phone.
  3. Paula Abdul on American Idol. Go to the fridge and get a snack instead. Make sure it’s lo-cal.

Three things I’d like to learn (but won’t)

  1. Espalier
  2. How to hack into my scale
  3. How to text message my vote for the next American Idol. Trick.

Three shows I watched as a kid

  1. That Girl
  2. Bewitched
  3. The Partridge Family

Whew.That took much longer than I thought it would. Hopefully, you were held in suspense the entire time you read through each and every thing I wrote and are thoroughly disgusted about how many references I made about…yes…him.

Now for the very special part….Tag, you’re it!

    Oh I’m so excited - I’ve never been tagged for a meme before!! Very cool - I’ll put mine up today. I haven’t been watching American Idol this year (I guess I’m one of the 10 people that don’t watch it) so I’m not familiar with this Sanjaya that you speak of :) I might actually tune in this week!

    Count yourself fortunate that you don’t know about the Sanjanisto. And American Idol is a no brainer tax season diversion for our family. The three of us watch it together. I persist in my rantings because the searches that show up on my site seem to be obsessed with him-so I indulge them. Go figure. Have fun, though. And write about what you want to write about and not the silly kid on AI.

    I really enjoyed your answers. At first I was with you — when it comes to trashing Sanjaya…but doesn’t his hair alone make you want to tune in? It’s like he emerges as a new person every week. It’s funny enough for me that — I’d even put up with his horrible singing.

    Oh and that laughing baby was hysterical! I love giggling babies. Especially my own. He always giggles when I pretend to sneeze.

    Fun! Thanks for tagging me Kellypea :-) I have to think of my answers before I post…so probably by tomorrow or so.

    Glad you’re game, Cherann. I thought you’d be up to it. And of course I’ll be on the couch tonight oogling AI, and wishing Gina was still there. Sigh!

    Give the kid a break! He had the courage to get up there and the savvy to stay the course. Maybe he’ll be famous someday and people will remind you that, once again, you were WRONG!!!

    I love being wrong. It breaks up the monotony.

    I needed Depends when I saw the book list. Oh my God..I’m RONFLMAO…WHATEVER, THOSE acronyms are. And the baby. Oh my gosh, Kelly, I posted it over my blog and I’m threatening to give one to my husband for my 50th if I don’t get a party.

    I swear I’m going to have to change my pants you have me laughing so hard…………the book list killed me. you should see my library. I’m so pathetic. I can sit in pjs all day and not get anything done…except go from book to book. And read a chapter here and chapter there…

    You are HYSTERICAL. ROLAOL… I can bake chocolate chip cookies. That’s it. That’s really pathetic. And I call myself a mommy. I’d fire me. Those poor men that have to live with me. I’m going to bed with a gun to my head!

    Ev you are hilarious. What the hell is RONFLMAO? Is it a Fark thing? I can’t figure out those stoopid acronyms either. Is there a place where we can know or should we just make up our own? I’m so there. And you better get a party. The MoH threw a swell one for me and it was absolutely fabulous! Yah, the book thing is a problem…I know they won’t fit down the toilet, and we’re not allowed to have garage sales in Paradise. I think I’m on page 20 of the one I’m supposed to have been plowing through. At this point, I’ll need a tractor. Jeez.
