Haha, she strikes again! Dixie's latest meme, asking to list six obscure things about oneself.

I will steal my #1 from her:

1) Every single time I've taken pepto-bismol I've thrown up - though it's very pretty, all that bright pink on white, like a birthday cake. Mylanta, however, doesn't make me hurl...go figure.

2) When I was around 3, almost every single day for an entire week I got my hand shut in the van door. I won't comment on what this says about the supervision going on, and can't imagine what the heck I was trying to accomplish, but thank goodness for unknit kiddie bones.

3) I obsessively remove my cuticles, even though I still bite my nails.

4) I hate CGI. Loathe it. I think it has singlehandedly led to the demise of good horror movies (no that's NOT a contradiction in terms). On that note, one of my favorite horror movies is the original "The Fog." I just saw the remake and it was craptacular. They just haaaad to throw in some POS visuals that ruined the whole concept of "imagination" being the scariest part of a horror story.

5) I get goosebumps everytime I hear Arlo Guthrie's "City of New Orleans" and whenever I even think about at least 2 scenes from The Color Purple.

6) I am scared to death of rubberbands, static electricity, rolled up towels and those biscuit containers that pop open. You can blame the first 3 on a sadistic father and evil older brother. If DH ever dared to aim a rubberband at me, I honestly think I would divorce his ass. But he understands these things, which is why he doesn't mind when I hand him the biscuit tube, avert my eyes, stick my fingers in my ears and sing "MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB, LITTLE LAMB.." until he lets me know the deed is done.

Over heard in the Texas State Ladies bathroom:

Girly #1 "So, like, she told me that she was worried about me because I was getting too thin."
Girly #2 "I would like TOTALLY consider that a compliment!"

That noise you hear is my spleen being coughed up.

Also Overheard: "yeah, that party was totally ghetto, so we went to a bar instead."

Someone please tell me...at what point did it get to be okay for a bunch of white sorority girls to refer to anything as "Ghetto" and it NOT be racist and classist? Apparently I missed the evolution of this one, I'm told it's quite the little slang word. Frankly I don't know what to think about a generation that considers that an adjective.
