I Survived NaBloPoMo

30 November 2009

It feels rather anti-climactic to conclude NaBloPoMo with a post about… well nothing really; but that’s all I have left.  In the last 30 days, I’ve emptied my drafts folder of every post worth posting, and even recreated an old idea or two.

I will leave you with a mini meme, just so you don’t feel like I didn’t give you anything today.

        1. What picture is the wallpaper on your phone?
        2. Putting on my chef coat makes me feel a bit like a superhero; what gives you that feeling?
        3. I am most looking forward to ____________________ in the new year.

Fill in the Blank Friday – A Baker’s Dozen – My Answers

3 October 2009
  1. If I was on a first date with someone and s/he ordered a White Zinfandel or as evidenced last night, a Redheaded Slut (please don’t ask) I would probably end the date early.
  2. When I’m sick I really want someone to bring me Peppermint Patties & Chicken Soup, and then leave me alone to be miserable.
  3. I know that some people really love Stamp collecting but I don’t understand how they spend so much money on it.
  4. I know that some people think I’m crazy for spending so much money on antique watches, pens, lighters, cufflinks – take your pick but I really love them.
  5. I’m so glad that I’ve out grown gloves and Shoes?  or more seriously the need to fight every rhetorical battle no matter how small since high school.
  6. I am living proof that the stereotype about left handed people isn’t always accurate.
  7. I know that it is a made-up word; but Screwvenir is a permanent part of my vocabulary.
  8. I can’t wait for the charity Rat Pack night I am hosting at one of my favorite bars.
  9. The most common misconception about me is that I am a raging snob
  10. I wish I wouldn’t feel the need to try so hard sometimes but sometimes I just can’t stop myself.
  11. If I never heard the word (or phrase) Florida State wins* again, it would still be too soon.
  12. I have a hidden talent for Identifying only by sound the exact amount of change dropped on the floor that no one would ever expect of me.
  13. I am not a fan of extraordinary rendition; but if it were to take place for crimes against entertainment and people of color then Tyler Perry should be the first person on the place to Guantanamo.

* I know that this revelation causes great pain to my dear blog friend and fervent Florida State fan, Elle Dubya. Sorry, Elle.
