I owe my cyber-friend April a meme. And so here we go.
1. I can’t believe I’ve never… been to a Sunday morning church service. I’ve been to weddings and confirmations but never a regular old service or sermon or whatever. Because of this, I don’t really understand what happens. What percentage of the service consists of solemn hymns? Preachin’? Snake handlin’? I don’t think I ever will go, though, considering what a great fact it is to break out during games of “I never.”
2. Every time I think about…I still cringe. As a gag, Ben and I went to our local uber-sketchy strip club that’s about 50 yards from our apartment. This isn’t the part I cringe at though - on the way out, I ran face-first into a glass door that I didn’t see. It’s a bad feeling to have two strippers wearing weird amounts of red vinyl laughing at you and not the other way around. It’s also a bad feeling to run into glass at full speed. At least I don’t swing around naked on a pole for a living. Yet.
3. I wish I’d…when I had the chance. I wish I’d written more when I was at writing school. I also wish I had traveled abroad for a semester in college.
4. I’ve never felt so out of place as when I...attempt girl talk. I’ve tried, but I just don’t understand how to connect with women like I sometime see them connect with each other in movies or vacuum cleaner commercials. Like yesterday, I was walking behind these two girls talking about their experiences boot shopping and I found myself taking mental notes on how to relate to women and boot buying for the next time I was in my most feared situation: alone with a girl who is talking to me. But I know if I did find myself in that terrifying situation and tried boot-buying talk, I’d just get it all wrong. “I occasionally buy boots. I take price and comfort into consideration. And…um, cuteness. I have to go.”
5. …is/are my guiltiest pleasure. Lifetime Original Movies. And reality TV. Maybe just TV in general. I love it. Whenever someone asks me how I have time to go to the gym everyday, I want to tell them that I also find time to watch about three hours of TV a day. I mean, what do other people do all day? I guess I save a lot of time because of my lack of hygiene.
6. I hope…knows how grateful I am for… I hope Taco Bell knows how grateful I am for their constant menu innovations. Just when I don’t think beans, beef, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce, and tortillas can possibly be combined into something fresh and new, they come up with something crazy like the crunch wrap supreme or the meximelt. If only there was one nearby.
7. In my darkest hours, I secretly blame…for my dysfunction. I think it’s probably innate.
8. …changed my life forever. Quitting my damn office job.
Now I get to tag some people… can I be so vague as to tag all Grinnellians with blogs?
