Mike asked me to do a meme last week and I’m going to try not to be suckage supreme and forget about it so let me do this right now even before I chronicle one of the biggest days in my life this past weekend. Is the suspense killing you? I know how you feel.

The rules according to Mike:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
6. Let your tagger know when your entry is up.

Random Numero Uno - I’m currently not sleeping. Rather, I fall asleep quickly and then awake at awful hours and then hit the wall sometime around 2:15 each day. Luckily, my counselor noticed the baggage under my eyes and sadly they are not matching Louis Vuitton ones. Today I go to the doctor for some meds and watch how I sneak this one in: I’m also dealing with “situational depression”.

Random Numero Dos - Whenever I watch movies that have an underwater scene in them I hold my breath as long as the character holds their breath and then blow it out PPPPSSSSHHHHHEEEEEWWWWW to show everyone present that I won the non-existent breath holding contest I had with myself.

Random Numero Tres - Paul Rubens sort of fascinates me and last night I was excited to see him again in “Mathilda” and last week it was “Mystery Men” and I’m always thrilled to see him in anything. I fell in love with his power over absurd children’s television when Mallory waved bye-bye at the t.v. screen when she was 2 years old as Pee Wee’s Playhouse ended and he rode off in the sky with his bicycle.

Random Numero Quatro - I have large hands and my nails grow beautifully but I don’t bother keeping them up and looking good. In fact, I got a fungus once when I tried out acrylic nails and my right index finger is grotesquely misshapen. The other nails look great! But that one is gnarly and I try hard not to use it to point, but then I have to use my middle finger and…you see where this is going.

Random Numero Cinco - I listen to what people say about my accent or the phrases I use too much. For instance, my Canadian friend JoAnne told me that Americans don’t say “You’re welcome.” We make this high-pitched non-word “Uh huh”. As soon as she told me that, I started listening and I do that, too! We also abuse the word “literally”. Though, “clearly” is a close second for American citizens. Some examples: Clearly, you didn’t do what I asked. Clearly, he is confused and mistaken. Clearly, you are an asshole.

Random Numero Seis - Clearly, I love all things Winnie The Pooh so here is the random quote for today: “The spring has sprung, the grass is rizz. I wonder where them birdies is?”

My tagging choices are not so random but I’m going with…

Pete from Fiddley who wrote this favorite post of mine and whom I’m following closely now.

Sarcomical who is Sarbeautiful and Sartalented.

Julie from Mothergoosemouse. Don’t let the name fool you. It ain’t your average mommyblog.

Karen Sugarpants who is working on a redesign of this site and who is currently GLOWING from all the running she’s doing and looking awesome in the meantime.

Amy from Assertagirl. She’s stolen my superheroine name, but oh well.

Stefania from CityMama. She kicks ass, takes names, and then cooks up something yummy for everyone.

I would hope that you’d all join in because I don’t expect that anyone would have time to do a meme when the weather’s getting nicer and the end of the school year is nigh. If I tagged me the fact that I used the word “nigh” would be the dealbreaker and I would probably refuse.

Don’t be guilt-ridden, either. It’s not like I’m depressed or anything. Huzzah!
