Me, me! Get it? meme? hardy har oh god someone shut me up

[livejournal.com profile] chrisleeoctaves tagged me.



I'd sell my soul to someone who:

1. is Julie Andrews. She's one of the only stars I worship in a reverent fangirly way. Key word being reverent. DB, et al, I just want to lick things of off.

2. loves. Loves things, people, fandom, pets, and activities with abandon and fervor and without compunction, and expresses it frequently at the risk of being embarrassed or hurt.

3. writes fic really heavy with metaphor, theme, motifs, and freakishly fractal type mind-boggling insights that connect all the characters. Other fic gets me, too, but this is a special kink.

4. can respect and often love other characters and 'ships besides the ones they're most interested in, and write about them with not only respect, but insight. Also, can debate why they feel the way they do without turning ugly.

5. is Rachel Ray. I just made turkey meatloaf wrapped in bacon. Yum-O!

6. is self-employed and sexually harrasses herself at work. Oh, baby.

7. tags me for a meme. Am I a spazz for liking it? It just makes me feel like someone is interested in me, you know? Plus, it gives me reasons to make pointless posts I normally restrain myself from making.

8. is as easy as I am, and had so many things they'd give it up for they had to do 5+n reasons.

9. is [livejournal.com profile] a2zmom. Hi! I'm tagging you.

You had me until Rachel Ray. *shudders* But the other stuff, is all good! I mean, I don't feel particular reverence for Julie Andrews, but I get that. I Feel that kind of reverence for Steve Buscemi. Except I also want to lick things off of him. Shut up.

Heee, should I tag you for memes now? I don't have any on the docket, but if that's the way to buy your soul forever and ever, I'll look into it!

Give old Rachey a chance. Seriously. I hated her when I first started watching her, but my mom is a big fan, and it's always on, so hey. She has seriously good recipes. Better and easier than any recipes I've ever done. EVER, and I like to cook. Unless she's making something with mac n' cheese, then turn her off real quick.

Steve Buscemi? "He's funny lookin'."

Ha! Well, I'm sure the glory of getting tagged would wear off if I got tagged all the time. But I've only been tagged 3 times before, and it feels all squishy, you know?

Julie Andrews is the bomb. Mike gave me The Sound of Music on DVD for Christmas and I made my kids watch. I *love* that movie. And Mary Poppins and Victor, Victoria. And, MY God! that woman has done some soul selling of her own because she looks terrific!

[livejournal.com profile] germaine_pet and I are *so* hoping you're coming to Atlanta!!!!

I don't know who Rachel Ray is. Wait, let me Google her...
comes back
Oh- she's some sort of cook. 'K.

I hear you number 4 and raise you by saying: fandom is all about the love and I never did get the hate...I mean, I get the annoyance and the pettiness and the wavering loyalties...but not the hate.

It just makes me feel like someone is interested in me, you know?
I am incredibly interested in you...although not in a stalkerish way. Ok, maybe a wee bit stalkerish. *g*

Can I stay with my aunt Pittypat?

I want to. A lot. I'll have to see about it at some later date when I can be more sure.

Another Sound of Music fan!!! OMG, that happiness! I got the 40th anniversary dvd for Christmas. And it'll be the last good one, because Bob Wise died. I seriously love that movie. I've written Sound of Music fanfic.

Gah, writercon. I *so* want to meet you and Lynne and all these people I hear are going. I just have no idea about the money.

Rachel Ray has the best recipes ever. She makes the fried ravioli I was talking about. I want to cook for you now.

Yeah, fandom exists because we all love something. Then again, I don't hate things very often. Right now, I can't actually think of something I hate. Oh wait. Joyce. Ah, Joyce. DIE DIE DIE. No, I don't really even hate her, because she did die.

ok, I admit to being a little stalkerish of you sometimes too ;o)

That's what I got- the 40th anniversary dvd. I loved the interview with the grown up children. (I love that kinda stuff anyway- where are they now?)

Start saving your pennies because WriterCon!

I'm so hopeless at cooking. Or maybe it's just that my kids don't want to eat anything. My life is pretty rushed right now, so when my friend D told me that Rachel Ray had all these "30-minute" recipes, I thought I'd give her new cookbook a try. Keep in mind the above sentence, "hopeless at cooking", OK? Anyway, I tried a few recipes from there. First of all, they take me at least an hour, usually more. Secondly my kids won't eat anything I've tried. Thirdly, my husband pronounces them "bland." I have to agree with him on the ones I've tried so far. Maybe it's because the ones I've tried have been selected with an eye to hoping that they would appeal to the kids. Ha! What a stupid idea on my part.

Right now I'm in the frame of mind that cooking is my least favorite part of the day. The kids only want to eat pizza and Annie's shells (mac-and-cheese). Maybe tacos, on a good day. I should just cook those three things in rotation.

*throws up hands in despair*

I love Julie Andrews too. Victor/Victoria is one of my favorite movies. Should I be embarrassed for loving that one more than Sound of Music? I think it's hilarious.

My mom is a fabulous cook. Everyone always talks about how wonderful her cooking is. But when we were little, we wouldn't eat anything she made. We were happiest when she made pancakes or hotdogs, and it was best of all when she just ordered pizza. Kids are picky little boogers.

Most of her meals take me 45 min to and hour. And she doesn't account for shopping and clean up time. What I tend to do is surf through for the main dish recipes that look easiest--the ones where I actually BELIEVE it'll only take 30 min--and make one of those, then for the side I'll just do something like plain old broccoli. Doing her whole meals usually just take too long.

A few of her things that I've tried have been bland, but most have been really really delicious. Maybe I'll do a post on it and share the recipes that've worked for me. I love cooking. I suck at it, really, but I perservere.

Victor/Victoria is awesome. I can't watch the scene with the cockroach, though. I love how Julie looks in a suit with her hair slicked back. I just like Sound of Music better because I'm such a sap. Oh, and a young Christopher Plummer is hot stuff.
