more honesty than anyone ever needs.



So, the ever fabulous fabulastic of queer the pitch nominated me for an "award." Obrigado! (?)

(Apparently memes are now called "awards." Clever, huh?!)

Anyway, following the rules, here are "ten honest things" about me...to add to the ten thousand other honest boring things about myself here. Seriously, I need to come up with ten interesting lies, that's what I think.

________________________________________________________

1.

I kinda hate grammar (and grammar policing)

2.



I have an inevitable crush on both Erlend and Eirik here. And their music, if that's possible.

3.
I've never seen "E.T." and really don't care to.


4.
I feel like I have nothing to contribute to 90 percent of the conversations I hear. I don't watch enough tv it seems. I always mean to watch more, but, you know, something always comes up.


5.

I have an aunt who totally used to look...and sound...like Tina Turner,
before she turned British (Tina, that is, not my aunt)

6.

I used to be a hardcore Tolkien nerd. Let's just call it as it is, shall we? Though I was on the downlow about it, thank the Ainur.
Anyway, at age 13 or so I could read and speak more quenya than any of my sexually active classmates ever could.

7.

I've been to me...too damned many times. I want to go to freaking Paradise, for just once, please. Is that too much to ask?? Thank you.

This is what I ate tonight. It's actually pretty good. It takes a minimum of cooking (rice), but otherwise, it's precooked. Your apartment will smell like Calcutta for a few days, but, hey, that's the neighbor's problem, right?


9.
I've had a long standing addiction to Dlisted. I think I have a bit of a crush on the evil genius Michael K. So much so that my vocabulary has been completely infected by him: Empress of Lucite, Pots-a-rassi, Fishy, Dreamboat, Hot Slut of the day, the Twin Messiahs, Mah Boo, Chicken Cutlets, Prince Hot Ginge, Rojo Caliente...and so many more....they've all worked their way deep into my psyche.

10.
I'm part Native American. Yes, it's true. My great, great paternal grandmother was full blooded Cherokee.
Married a white man, and that's where it all went wrong. Isn't it always?


11.
I'm a hopeless sap. It's true. I ain't proud of it, but it's true.

Yes...lies...beautiful, beautiful lies. I like to tell lies when asked to be honest. It’s ‘funner’ that way.

BTW, I’ve never seen E.T. either...never plan too, but did ride E.T. at Universal Studios...I had no idea what it was all about and forgot all about it until just this minute...then I quickly forgot that too...

Wait a minute, where am I? What am I doing here...

Enjoyed the list...next time I'm in New Orleans, make me a sazerac and let's sit on your patio, listening to music and not talking about TV! Curry wafting in the background. Sounds like a perfect evening to me!

E.T. sucked even when I was a kid...you've missed nothing!

Hmmmm The Native American Blood runs thru your veins.

Tis all always good to know these folks.

Glad I know you.

Have a great weekend.

I like their music. They're like the Norway version of Jackopierce.

You know what else is scary good. Saltines with grape jelly on 'em. I do believe my white-trash roots are showing.

Congrats on the "award", Jason!

But you listed 11 items instead of just 10!

(I wonder how Janet Jackson feels about this post?)

«Não tem de quê!» (your welcome!)

I was glad to know that my award is a meme. By other hand, I do not have the foggiest what that means...

Hope that grammar one is not a mention to my awful English spelling...

But what what I really wanted to say is, my dear Caboclo, is that you are not boring at all. People that talk about TV are the one that are boring. So just go out, find the perfect crowd and you will see that you have much to offer to a conversation!

(caboclo is the Portuguese word for a person mix raced American Indian-European, just as mulato is the one for mixed African-European. After all we invented miscegenation so we needed to invent the words...)
