Are you a fascist?

Of course you are, you jackbooted Rethug. ;-P

Actually, probably not. If you’re like me, “you are disciplined but tolerant; a true American.”

Six (okay, seven) word memoir

GAH. A meme. This one’s kinda cool, though. :)

The Rules:
1. Write your own six word memoir.
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you want.
3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
4. Tag at least five more blogs with links.
5. Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.

Robbie at UrbanGrounds tagged me–I like his memoir!

Mine:

What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.

(See? I cheated. Seven words. Deal with it.) ;-)

Cleanest, fastest, leanest blog on teh internets!

(No surprise - I think I’ve had ten Diet Cokes today.)

And the REALLY important one…

EEK! I got meme’d!

Eh, okay. Only ’cause the Anchoress asked. (Man, I hate these things!) Besides, I’ve been drowning in my Wordpress database for hours and I need a break.

The Meme: Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.

Okay, here goes.

1. Like the Anchoress, I hate all fruit. Unlike her, I find oranges revolting, but I like orange juice (NO PULP, please!!!).

2. I have an incurable sweet tooth. No, fruit does not count. When I’ve tried to stop eating bucketloads of refined sugars, I gain weight and feel like crap. I’m not diabetic or hypoglycemic, so shut up. :P

3. I do not do mornings well. For my entire adult life, I’ve needed at least two (and usually three) alarm clocks to wake up, no matter how early I get to sleep. I’m much happier living about six hours later than everyone else, which means I’ve had lots of “conversations” online with people in distant time zones. ;)

4. I can’t stand going to movie theaters. Can. Not. Stand. It. I only go when I’m taking my daughter to see a movie she wants to see. Netflix FTW!

5. My daughter has 54 Webkinz, because I like them too. Heeeee! (We also like Club Penguin!)

6. I still have a Bush-Cheney ‘04 sticker on my car, and it’s going nowhere. So do a whole lot of other people around here. I think “nukular” is funny, and I think he intentionally says it just to jerk the BDS libs’ chains. I’m gonna miss Dubya when he goes home to Crawford next year. (Take THAT, hippies!)

So I’m supposed to tag six other people. :sigh:
All right–I’ll tag…Merri, Rightwingsparkle, Greta, Nicki, Vivian, and BSC Beth.
You dudes got off lucky this time, ’cause I was going to tag just dudes for the hell of it, but I’m feeling charitable. Nevermind the six women I tagged will probably kill me. ;)

WANTED!

Wretched blogging? I’m shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

You’ll never catch me!!!

(It could be worse; I ran this on Ace’s URL and his said something about fondling monkeys, and my bratty brother peed on a turkey. LOL.)

Get yours here.

Also, 79%? I am ashamed of myself. Really. My internet geek cred is ruined.

Name the US Presidents and US state capitals

I didn’t ace either one of these tests, dammit. I thought the state capitals would be easy (after I missed seven of the Presidents!!! Gah!), but DAMN OREGON!!! I spent the last five and a half minutes racking my brain trying to remember Oregon’s capital! :doh:

All right, Smarty-pants, you try these.

Name the Presidents

Name the US State Capitals

(Can I cop a plea here? I’ve been up all night and need sleep. That’s my excuse and I’m stickin’ to it.) :heehee:

What Breed of Conservative Are You?

Haha, no surprise here.

My Conservative Identity:

You are a Freedom Crusader, also known as a neoconservative. You believe in taking the fight directly to the enemy, whether it’s terrorists abroad or the liberal terrorist appeasers at home who give them aid and comfort.

Take the quiz at www.FightLiberals.com

I could’ve gone with the Flag Waver or the Free Marketeer almost as well, though.

Not to leave out the liberals–here’s one for you, too. (I’d be embarrassed to claim any of those answers, myself.) :mrgreen:

TAGGED! Me?

OK, don’t all of you guys take this as a signal to start tagging me with memes, but I’ll do this one for Oceanguy. To those who have tagged me in the last couple of weeks: I lost all my email when performing surgery on the laptop, so that’s my ~~excuse~~ reason for not doing yours. :winking: Actually, anyone who’s sent me email in the last ten months–it’s gone. I suppose it’s kinda nice timing, considering I had something on the order of 700 unread/undisposed emails and it was getting to be a real PITA. (Unfortunately, there were a couple emails that represented potential income and they’re gone, too. Dammit.)

OK, so the meme thingy.

1. Let others know who tagged you.
2. Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
3. Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
4. Players should tag 8 other people and notify them they have been tagged.

Eight random things about me-me-me!

1. I hate memes. :twisted:

2. I’d rather be doing web design than blogging–it’s sort of my dream job, although I’ve still got a lot to learn.

3. I love science, but I despise science fiction. I don’t even care about Robert Heinlein (omg heresy on the internets!). I was even told I wasn’t “a real programmer” when I worked at the Pentagon because of it. Hate it. Talk to me about Battlestar Whatever or any of that stuff and my eyes glaze over. Star Wars? That’s about all I can stand (and only the first three–I never saw Episodes I-III, nor will I). LOTR? Gag me. Give me an foreign flick with subtitles or a visually rich documentary and I’m happy.

4. Argh. This is hard, because everything I want to share with the internets has already been said on my lame “about” page.

5. I don’t eat fruit. Yeccchh.

6. I didn’t eat a single vegetable the whole time I was in Turkey (fifteen months) because I was paranoid about getting sick. Everyone, and I mean everyone else got the shi’ites at least once, but I didn’t. Lesson learned: vegetables = bad. (At least in a filthy country like Turkey.)

7. Gah. What else? OK…in my head, I’m 5′7″ tall and about 20 pounds heavier. (I’m actually 5′2″ or 5′3″ and probably underweight.) I still think this even at my age, and I still think of myself as being physically strong, but I think I’m probably not.

8. Finally, the last one! I’m really good at learning foreign languages and deciphering new ones (like when I come across a Euro-foreign language blog), but I’ve been too lazy/distracted with other stuff to learn any new ones in the last fifteen years, and that bugs the hell out of me. If I could self-teach Arabic, I’d do it and spend all day lurking jihadi forums to out the bastards. There’s no Arabic language program in the local universities (that I’ve found, anyway), and even if there were I wouldn’t go because I hate college. (Those languages that don’t use the Latin alphabet–forget self-teaching!)

So there you go. Eight things, and it “only” took me two hours to figure out what to write. And now I have to tag eight people? Shi’ite.

OK, because I don’t normally do these things, I’m not gonna be bossy about it. I’ve seen this one going around for a while now, so some of these people might have done it already:

Wild Thing
Linda
Merri
Bratty Brother (HAHA, brat)
~~Preston, Cranky, and/or Smantix at 6MB~~ (Shi’ite, too late.)
John (Stansbury)
Greta (or at her other blog)
Holly
Islamic Rage Boy!

But you already knew that.

Get yours at Mingle²

And this was done when there aren’t the usual number of sweary words on the front page! HA!

There’s this one, too, for my fellow Spelling Nazis:

I Scored a 100%!

Here’s some motivation for you: my eight year-old daughter also got 100% on it. (And she isn’t even allowed to read my blog!)
Hell yes, I’m bragging. Wouldn’t you?

HALP ME JON CARRY I R STUCK!!!

Why do I do this shi’ite?!

(Bet I got farther than YOU did, though!)

:razz:

My, Me, Meme

1. My: You’ve heard the saying “I’d give my right arm for”�. So, what would you give your right arm for?

It would need to be something pretty drastic, say to save my child’s life. I wouldn’t do it for, say, a huge pile of money. I have enough money, but not enough arms to sell one.

2. Me: What’s one word that describes how you want people to see you?

Honest.

3. Meme: If you could be any blogger, which blogger would you be? and why?

I’d be me, because I’m the only person I know how to be.

ACK! Tagged!

Argh. Payback’s a bitch, Caltech Girl. Expect it when you least expect it! :mrgreen:

Copying the rules from her post on the My, Me, Meme meme:

This one’s easy, since it’s all about you and since it requires you to write the very first answer that comes to mind. Simply copy and paste the following three questions then answer them on your blog or, if you don’t have a blog of your own, answer them in the comments here. Bloggers should then tag three other people to answer the questions as well, and be sure they know who to blame (Me!).

1. My: You’ve heard the saying “I’d give my right arm for”�. So, what would you give your right arm for?

2. Me: What’s one word that describes how you want people to see you?

3. Meme: If you could be any blogger, which blogger would you be? and why?

Answers:

1. My: I’d give my right arm for my daughter if she needed it.

2. Me: One word? How about “right.” As in, correct. (It would imply being smart, informed, and maybe wise, y’know.)

3. Meme: Any blogger? None. Or I’ll just go with what Caltechgirl said. :mrgreen:

OK, three more suckers:

Martin (HA! Gotcha!), Right Girl, and SeeJaneMom. Sorry, y’all, I had to do this, so you do too! :razz:

*****

UPDATE: Here are Right Girl’s answers (yay!). Thanks, RG!

I’m hardcore

O RLY? Hardcore? I’m pretty sure that some of y’all might disagree. Or at least that’s what some of my email has told me. (Buncha wingnuts!) :mrgreen: I think I might have to make an avatar out of that pretty screenshot. (Yeah, I’m bragging about my conservative credentials.)

Here’s the test.

political vote match score

Yeah, an avatar. :mrgreen:

I’m 39 again!

At least on this political scale, anyway. :mrgreen:
Any 40’s out here?
