You’re Fagged…er…Tagged!
My dear friend, Ari, fagged me this morning and luckily you all benefit from finding out about some of the weird shit that I do when no one else is around. Did I say “lucky”? I meant, sucky.
The first player of this game starts with the topic “five weird habits of yourself,” and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don’t forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says “You have been tagged” (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.
They call this type of game a “MeMe”. That’s weird. Is it cuz it’s a game all about yourself? Like, all about Me…Me. MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME. Hmph.
Five Weird Habits of Myself
1) If I’m about to play a videogame or watch something on TV that I’ve been dying to see, I squeeze my eyes shut really tight until I feel it “click” within my brain. If I don’t hold them shut long enough, I have to squeeze even harder until I really feel it. Then I can play my game or watch my movie. I think that’s called OCD, but I’m pretending like it’s totally normal.
2) I sing. A LOT. I’m talking all the time. If I’m home alone, I’m mostly singing. If Paul is home, I’m walking around…singing. I practice singing, I sing for fun, and I make up songs with tunes that are running through my head. I sing harmony to songs that really don’t need harmony added to them. For example…there is this annoying commercial on TV these days that showcases the song Yellow Polkadot Bikini. Without even realizing it, I sing the entire thing over and over in harmony every single time it comes on. Sometimes I’m singing and I don’t even realize that I’m doing it. I’ll catch myself and be like “SHUT UP! PEOPLE CAN HEAR YOU IN THE HALLWAY OF YOUR APARTMENT BUILDING!” Then I start singing again. It’s enough to drive a person crazy. But oddly enough, singing makes me feel just a little bit better than not singing.
3) I’ve mentioned this one in my journal before, but it’s totally appropriate for this MEMEMEMEMEME, so I figured I would use it again. Because I’m an actor or because I’m legitimately crazy, I have this thing where I pretend like I’m one of the characters in whatever show I’m watching. If the character is crying, I listen and respond to the other actor and I try to do the lines as best as I can. If I can get the tears to come, I rock it out and let them flow while saying my “lines”. I’ll do this exercise with movies, sitcoms, reality TV, whatever…just as long as I’m a pivotal player in the scene I’m watching. Someone needs to get their ass in a new play!
4) In the morning, after I’m all dressed and have my hair combed, I look in the mirror and I smile and say “Thank you”. Just cuz I want to see what I look like when I graciously say “Thank you” to whoever told me that I look handsome that day. God, that’s so lame and egotistical.
5) I still bite my fingernails like a beastmaster. “But Joe…after riding the subway and not washing your hands once throughout the day, isn’t it disgusting to then put your fingers in your mouth?” No, not really. In fact, it tastes better. Yet, oddly enough, lately I’ve been washing my hands before I eat dinner. Cuz its one thing to put your fingers in your mouth when biting your nails, it’s totally another to put them in your mouth when you are eating dinner.
I mean, I knew I was a crazy bitch before I even wrote this list. However, now I feel like I’m not only crazy, I’m nasty and more of an oddball than I was in highschool. But at lesat it’s all about MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME.
The five people I choose to tag with this MEEMS are:
Brandon, because he writes a bodybuilding blog and it would be nice to know a little bit more about him…although I have doubts that he will actually do this. In any case…
Adam, because it’s about time he wrote in his journal again and he makes me laugh to the point of tears. And also, cuz I think he’s a pretty special guy.
Wicked H, cuz I don’t read that many journals, but when I do, she has one of the first sites I visit. ADORE the Wicked H.
Diaspora South, because his journal is fucking hilarity – when appropriate of course. Even if he doesn’t do this MEMEMEMEME, you should definitely check out his take on “Only Simchas”. If you don’t know what that means, prepare to DIE of laughter when you visit him.
Rosie, cuz she has been nothing but a support and inspiration for this website. She’s one of my first readers and definitely one of my faves.
Be good all!
