Half-Dozen Meme

I've been tagged by Roisin for a meme. I don't particularly care for memes, but I haven't done one in a while, so I've decided to oblige.

I'm supposed to write six random things about myself. Six things I've never said before? Is that even possible at this point? I'll give it a whirl.

1. I made a bunch of postcards to send in to PostSecret while procrastinating from homework a couple of nights ago. I didn't know what I was going to write on any of them until I wrote... and I surprised myself. I have more secrets than I thought I did. And some of them seem to be in direct conflict with each other. I guess I'm just weird.

2. I've decided that I hate having crushes. I'm starting to have one now, and I sort of what to just stomp it out and make it go away. I know that the next three years would be a lot easier if I could remove all romantic temptation from my life completely. (Don't worry... I'm sure I'll write more about this at a later date... and just pray that he never finds my blog.)

3. My favorite painting is The Metamorphosis of Narcissus by Salvador Dalí. I like it so much that I found a way to work it into my (unfinished) novel. I can't even properly articulate why I love it. But when I saw it in person in London back in 2003, I started getting emotional over it.

4. I promised myself that I wouldn't drink alcohol again until my birthday (last alcohol consumption: August 6th. Birthday: October 25th). I also promised myself that I'd be a vegetarian for a year (last meat consumption: November 9th). I can't decide which I'm more excited for... getting completely wasted on my birthday, or getting a Wendy's burger two weeks later... They're both so exciting!

(Sorry to my vegetarian and vegan friends. I know you're disappointed, but I have made an excellent effort over an extended period of time... This herbivore lifestyle is just not for me. I need some chicken, and I need it soon.)

5. I hate taking adult vitamins, so I take Flintstones vitamins. I figure it's better than nothing.

6. I feel the need to name inanimate objects, especially vehicles. My car (who is currently in the shop... AGAIN) is named Ramona. The loaner cars I've had recently have been Veronica and Paolo. Past cars have been Smith (full name Smith W. Jones) and Jersey.


Apparently now I'm supposed to tag people... So here we go...
