Big Meme's House
It's Meme Time! I was tagged by Kiss My Mike for the 5 Things Meme. So does that mean I'm your meme for a day? Oh dear, I've instantly been transformed into an 85 year old woman with frazzled gray hair, a wrinkled face, and swollen ankles sitting in a rocking chair turned backwards on my front porch. Hey, how do you pronounce meme? Anyway, buckle your seat belts kids, this is your meme speaking to you:

What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was getting ready to work for the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics. That was a great experience. I got to enjoy all of the swimming, diving, water polo, and synchro swimming (my favorite) events. I was literally standing right outside the pool the whole time, but I kept my distance as I really don't like public pools, you all know what I'm talkin' about. My family back home said they saw me on some of the replays and other footage. I'm not an Olympic athlete, but I played one on TV for 2 weeks.
What were you doing 1 year ago?
I was knee deep in the research for my book, 'The 2012 Bid'. It was fun and I would do it again for an interesting project, but you do get to be more omnipotent writing fiction. That's the feeling we all want, isn't it?
Five snacks you enjoy:
1) Cashews
2) Corn
3) Cracker Jacks
4) Sugar cane cubes
5) Pomegranate
Five songs to which you know all the lyrics:
1) Desire (U2)
2) Crazy (Seal)
3) Wang Chung (Wang Chung)
4) Scooby Dooby Doo (Fred, Velma, & Daphne - sorry Shag you just ain't got the voice my man)
5) It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (Mr. Rodgers, shoutout in tribute)
Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:
1) Put all that money in front of a mirror so it would look like I had $2 million
2) Stash it between the insulation in the walls, after purchasing extra fire insurance of course.
3) Hold each and every bill up to the light so I could be as cool as the cashier.
4) Buy a farm so I wouldn't have to pay for food anymore.
5) Start my own country barring money totally and return to the barter system.
* In reality I would give to charity, what ...you don't believe me?
Five bad habits:
1) Drinking...too much Kool Aid
2) Smoking...banana peels
3) Drugs...Flintstone vitamins ARE technically drugs...yes they are...they are too...no YOU think before speaking!
4) Addictions...to unorganized sports such as ultimate frisbee and jai-lai
5) Too judgmental...always wanted to be a judge, but not mentally stable enough
Five things you like doing:
1) Riding the bumper cars early in the morning before all the other people arrive
2) Showing up on a golf course with a bag of croquet equipment
3) Pointing the hair dryer at the mirror to see how fast the steam/fog comes off
4) Window shopping...No, really. Shopping for new funky shaped windows.
5) NOT working for the MAN...Believe that, son!
Five things you would never wear again:
1) Cavariccis
2) Skidz
3) Cardigans
4) Reebok Pumps (Tennis Version)
5) Any pants that make more noise than my shoes
Five favorite toys:
1) Reversible microscope/telescope
2) Legoland Sputnik
3) Fireworks of any kind
4) Radio controlled diving bell
5) Unicycle with training wheels
