Tagged to Make a List of Unimportant Things
January 4, 2008 by dontdatethatdude
2LazyDogs tagged me with a meme and this meme had some rules. I am not good at following rules, never have been. I am supposed to list 6 unimportant things about myself, then tag 6 other people to do the same thing. This makes me very uncomfortable. It’s the tagging that bothers me, not making this list, that seems fun. So I will make my list and if you read this and want to make a list too, please do so, I would love to read it and if you would like me to add a link to your list I will also do it.
This is just an aside, but I think we can learn a lot about someone when they list what they think is unimportant about themselves and I would especially like to know what:
Mobods, Veronica, Houston, Rachel and Romi think is unimportant about themselves.
6 Unimportant Things About Me:
I collect pens, but not as many as Angelika Unverhau from Dinslaken (Germany) who has collected more than 220,000 ball-point pens and I would never aspire to it, but am fascinated by this kind of obsessiveness!
I read postsecret all the time and I think the person who created it is a genius! Now they have added a place on the site where you can leave a voice message, it’s called secret voices and this weirds me out.
I have a King Size Adjustable Bed and I always Sleep on the left Side.
I hate diet soda. I hate diet anything!
Coffee is my drug of choice!
I don’t have an ipod or an ipod bra, but damn it I want one! I love a new gadget!
Thanks for tagging me. I will do my worst.
Modobs: I love that about you!
I love post secret!! I just heard the voice secrets from your page…it is weird!
Thanks for tagging me, I am at work right now which sucks my brain away so I’ll have to do it tomorrow.
In response to yours:
1. Pens are cool but collecting them? hmmm. Quite nerdy and I kinda love that you admitted that.
2. I HEART postsecret and the secretvoices TOTALLY freaks me out too!
3. I sleep on the right side of my body but on the left side of the bed..I knew there was a reason why I read your blog…wow so much in common…haha.
4. Ok, not in common…I’m totally addicted to diet coke and prefer it over diet pepsi. No ice please. The can is the bestest.
5. I am a total coffee whore. If I don’t have 2 cups in the morning, I’m a mumbling-grumpy-idiot.
6. Lost my iPod last spring…still thinking I might find it in my bedroom somewhere.
Rachel: I am a secret nerd, you’re on to me. I cannot believe how weird the voice thing is, really creepy! We do have many things in common, except the soda thing, so what? Do you have the ipod bra? Can’t wait to see your list!
Houston: I just found the voice thing the other day and it was really creepy, it was really sad too, at least the ones I listened to.
Like you, I break all the meme rules, but I’m happy to share my 6 uninteresting facts with you here:
1. I hate egg-salad sandwiches; I used to get them for lunch ALL the time as a kid, and I found them to be awful, and now I am traumatized…
2. For a good stretch of 3 teenage years I wanted to be a pro-tennis player, even though I had never played tennis
3. Sometimes when I am lying in bed, I will have a sudden involuntary shudder, like as if a ghost just raced through me; it totally freaks me out
4. I’ve been pooed on by a pigeon twice (once when I was 8, once when I was 16)…I’m still waiting for the good luck that it’s supposed to bring…
5. I CANNOT sit on the morning train to work without chewing a piece of minty gum, because I think that morning post-breakfast/coffee breath is gross, and I wish other train-riders would follow my lead
6. I absolutely hate ketchup; the taste, the smell, can’t stand it…like I will devour plain fries all the way, but as soon as you add ketchup, it’s like they become dumpster contents to me…
So that’s me!
And on yours: ohhh….coffee is the best drug ever, but I must say I LOVE diet coke (though I’m trying to cut back)….and what kind of pens do you collect? Like any you can find, or fancy gel-ink ones or something? (I love those!)
Hey Romi Thanks for the list, very illuminating and funny. I absolutely get the egg salad thing, just gross! I threw up once after eating hotdogs and could never eat one again! The tennis star fantasy is nice, I wanted to be a kung-fu master, geek huh? The shudder is probably from coming off the coffee and diet soda at the end of the day! I have gotten it too! If you think ketchup is gross, I know someone who puts mayonnaise on fries, yuck! I collect those fancy pens, but they have to be ball point, the outside has to be unusual, I guess you would call them designer pens. I love writing.
Things about me that are not important? You have all day? Ok I will be brief.
1. I can be germophobic.
2. I read on the toilet. Always.
3. I sometimes cut my own hair.
4. I have never been pregnant.
5. The future is too abstract for me to care about.
6. I talk to my mom on the phone every day.
7. I never want to be famous.
OK hows that for unimportant? Veronica
Thanks for writing your list! I don’t think these lists are unimportant because I get to learn something about you! I really enjoyed reading this!
i enjoyed doing it. thanks for thinking of me.
No problem, even though I don’t always comment. I look at your blog almost daily!
Ok please help me. I don’t know what meme’s are, or lolcats and a bunch of other words. I feel left out.
This is funny, not because you don’t know, but because I am not sure I really know either. I definately don’t know what lolcats are! But a meme to the best of my knowledge is a list of questions friends send to each other. The questions are usually pointed at getting to know you better, ie likes and dislikes, then you, the receiver, answer them and forward them on to six friends and so on and so on. I don’t like to impose on other people so I didn’t forward mine I just mentioned that I would be interested in knowing the answers from you and other people I love to read here at wordpress. I kind of broke the chain, but even so everyone answered. I hope that makes sense….
I am so illiterate in these matters it’s laughable!
Oh my god that’s too funny!!! And I may have to steal the cucumber picture for my blog!
Hi pseudonym! Take the cucumber shot, it’s priceless and not mine!
Well, being a vegetarian…makes it even more appropriate!
