I'm going through meme-withdrawal, so I'll post a lame one, just to get me a step nearer to the magic 300, when I mothball this blog and migrate to my main one.
40 things
1. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?
Had my pet euthanized.
2. Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Hmm. I kinda didn't do any resolutions, or if I did, I forgot'em.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
My half sister had another child.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Jinx, my cat. February 9th. Poor kitty.
5. What countries did you visit?
I've only visited Canada, and that was in 1989 (although I did kayak into Canada in 1999, but didn't set foot on land)! I'm way, way behind on the world-traveling thing. I want to, but need the time and money for it.
6. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
Book deal!
7. What dates from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory?
No dates come to mind. I'm terrible at remembering dates.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting a short story accepted by a magazine at the beginning of 2006.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Not finding another job!
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Hmmm. Nothing chronic. Oh, wait -- I totally wiped out rollerblading last year and fragged my left calf. I still have a scar from that injury, which went from my ankle to my knee. I'll probably have that scar the rest of my life.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Best thing I bought...probably the memory card for my digital camera! 175 pictures can now be saved on that stinker! That's great!
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Mine. I was very industrious last year.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Mine. I was also terribly undisciplined.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Rent. God, how I hate paying rent.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
A book I wrote in November. That really pumped me up.
16. What song/album will always remind you of 2006?
Elliott Smith, "Don't Go Down"
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
Happier or sadder? Happier!
Thinner or fatter? Thinner!
Richer or poorer? Richer!
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Gosh, I dunno. I'm not big on regret.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Less brooding, perhaps.
20. How will you be spending Easter?
Eating a dark chocolate bunny's head.
21. Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
You know, I so rarely use the phone, anymore, except to talk to my parents, so I guess it's them, by default. I much more frequently e-mail.
22. Did you fall in love in 2006?
Yes!
23. How many one night stands in this last year?
None!
24. What was your favorite TV program?
In 2006? "Invasion" -- that was a great show, which was why it got cancelled, of course.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Lame as it sounds, I don't waste time on hate. There are people I don't like, sure, but I mostly just deprive them of the joy of knowing me, versus actually hating them, you know?
26. What was the best book(s) you read?
God, I don't even remember. I don't think I read a whole book in 2006! Before you think I'm the Antichrist, let me explain: as an editor, I read every day, almost all day. Not for fun, of course. Anyway, it sort of makes pleasure reading a rarer thing. Ironic, eh?
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
New bands? Hmmm. Interfuse were pretty good.
Old bands? The Victims (US).
28. What did you want and get?
I never get what I want! Seriously, anything I ask for, I never get. It's like a curse of some sort. I could ask for socks and never get them!
29. What did you want and not get?
Everything!
30. What were your favorite films of this year?
It's been forever since I've seen a movie on the big screen. I really liked the unrated version of "The Descent" -- thought it was a good horror movie.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 36 last year; I didn't do anything special. Birthday kinda sucked, really.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Book deal!! Book deal!
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006?
Classical Menswear with a neo-psychedelic twist.
34. What kept you sane?
My madness kept me sane! Knowledge of your own insanity protects you from it. The truly crazy think that they're sane.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Currently? I'm so terrible about thinking of one on the spot. I know them when I see them. Man, I need to think about it some.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Last year? Probably those jackasses leaving New Orleans to drown. That was terrible, unforgiveable. I visited New Orleans in 1997, and hate that government negligence and incompetence destroyed that beautiful place.
37. Who did you miss?
My best friend!
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Ash, for sure. She's the best!
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006.
Don't waste time on regret. Just live in the now, and get things done.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year?
"I met a girl snowball in Hell
She was hard and as cracked as the Liberty Bell
And I got her to
Come and move in with me
And I said I'll find a better place
Where we can spend eternity" (Elliott Smith, "Don't Go Down")

Weirdness, cont'd.
Okay, so I already did the six weird things meme, but Kristen reminded me of another one, so I'm adding a seventh weird thing, figuring that a meme about weird things should at least have an odd number to it, instead of an even...
7. I can't stand to have anything between my toes, most especially between my big toe and the rest. Like flip-flops, or a finger, or a sock, or anything. Even the sight of it gives me the willies -- like those otherwise really cool Japanese slippers one sees -- just seeing the big toe isolated like that freaks me out. It's not the same as being ticklish. Like if you popped a finger between my big toe and my other toes, I'd recoil, try to flee. I could probably be tortured that way. The sensation is just horrible to me -- not pain, not even irritation, exactly, just serious discomfort. Any sandals I wear are the kind that go over the toes, not between. *shudder*

Weirdness
Romina cheered me up (gracias!), and a meme is always a nice distraction, and this is kind of a tough one, requiring thought...
Six weird things about me
1. My thumbs don't bend in the middle; how to explain? I have the joint right after the thumbnail, and then nothing, then it bends where it connects to the hand. You know how people's thumbs hyperextend if too much pressure is applied? Not mine. I have regressive thumbs -- they're more like power grip thumbs, versus precision grip thumbs, which most people have. They do help me carry things and climb better, I find. But such thumbs are what our primate ancestors had, so they're throwback thumbs, not future mutant thumbs.
2. I used to want to be a fighter pilot as a kid; I used to love to fly. Then, in 1997 and 1998, I became totally phobic about flying, and haven't flown since then. I can't really account for it, to be honest. Some kind of existential angst thing, fear of being a passenger, a control issue. I feel like if I were flying on my own, I'd be fine with it; it's the helplessness of being a passenger that gets to me. Same reason rollercoasters have historically made me very uncomfortable.
3. I have texture issues with food -- anything like jello, whipped cream, aspic, anything frothy -- it makes the hair on my arms stand on end; I won't eat it. I'd puke if I had to eat anything goopy like that. I used to not be able to each peaches -- the fuzzy skin would give me the willies. But I got over it at some point, and now I love'em.
4. My brain is like an automatic mood jukebox -- it'll unconsciously come up with a theme-appropriate song that I'll hum or sing or whistle, without actually being aware that it somehow ties into the situation, until I'm doing it and will think *Hey, that relates to what I'm doing right now.* I think it's a left-handed thing, the whole right-brain dominant thing. Unfortunately, I can't think of any examples at the moment, but it happens all the time.
5. Another left-handed thing -- sometimes I'll be at a loss for words, and my brain'll stitch together words to encompass the word I was trying to say to begin with. For example, if the word I wanted was "comb" -- "Could you pass me the comb?" -- what I'd actually say would be "Could you pass me the..uhh..spikey hair stick?" Which is a very right-brained way of interpreting a comb, when you think about it. I do that all the time.
6. I'm very nihilistic, but at the same time, think that life is sacred -- it's like the meaninglessness of the universe to me makes our own existence all the more special, makes love and life and laughter all the more vital. Even though I don't think there's any higher meaning to our lives, and that at some point an asteroid will come and wipe out human life (if we haven't wiped ourselves out first), at the same time, it somehow increases the value of life to me. I extend that to all life -- like if there's a bug in the house, I'll catch it and set it free, versus squishing it. I'm very anti-war and anti-death penalty because of that attitude; anti-poverty for the same reason -- if this is all there is, as I see it, we owe it to ourselves (and to everything living) to make it as good as it can be. The very pointlessness of our existence provides the motive and the meaning for our existence to me, weirdly enough.

Two wishes for 2007:

Fill in the [Blank]
From Vesper, Queen of Memes...
1. I have never wanted to skydive; but I’ve always thought I might like to own a motorcycle.
2. When I was 5 years old, I believed in Santa Claus, but I got over it soon after my parents divorced.
3. If I was my own best friend, what I would enjoy the most about spending time with Me would be my love of life and sense of humor; while what I’d find the most irritating would be my tendency to brood when tired and periodic bouts of nihilistic angst.
4. If the story of my life up to this point was being published tomorrow, it would be titled Big Guy or else Dude (because that's what people usually call me) and it would be dedicated to everybody whom I love.
5. When my time on Earth is over, and the people who loved me are remembering me, it would please me if they said he wrote great stories; who knew that a writer who attained such huge, worldwide success could actually write so well and remain such a fun person? (I say that because everybody who knows me knows I'm loving, fun, and fun-loving, so I wanted to be remembered for the writing, in the vain hope that I'll succeed at it).

Last Meme for 2006
Thanks to Vesper (of course!), my last meme for 2006...
Do you own a gun? Yes.
What do you think of hot dogs? I try not to; I almost like'em, but usually avoid'em. I like brats better, but avoid those, too.
What do you prefer to drink in the morning? Water.
Can you do push-ups? Yes, but they suck.
What’s your favorite piece of jewelry? I don't have one.
What is your secret weapon to lure the opposite sex? I don't usually have to lure; gals either like me or they don't. They probably like my puppydog smile or my sense of humor or my wit.
Middle name? Tyler.
Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment:
1. Wow, Vesper's middle name is "Michelle."
2. Gosh, I feel like I could puke.
3. Why am I sweating?
Name 3 drinks you regularly drink:
1. water
2. beer
3. V8 Juice Fusion (Strawberry and Banana)
What time did you wake up today? 6:30 a.m.
Current hate? I can't think of one; I'm a lover, not a hater.
Favorite place to be? Home with my little ones.
Least favorite place to be? My job.
Where would you like to go? Europe, for like a year.
Do you own slippers? No, but I could use some titanium ones, b/c I stub my toes all the time.
What shirt are you wearing? White t-shirt.
Do you burn or tan? I burn, and fast.
Favorite color(s)? Blue.
Would you be a pirate? Yeah, if I could bathe once in awhile.
What is your favorite holiday? Halloween.
What songs do you sing in the shower? Whatever comes to mind; I usually hum, instead of singing.
What did you fear was going to get you at night as a child? Bigfoot.
What’s in your pockets right now? My jammy pants pockets are empty.
Last thing that made you laugh? Something on VH1's "I Love the 80s."
Best bed sheets as a child? I never had special bed sheets; I just always liked how cool they were when I first got in'em.
Worst injury you’ve ever had? Injury? As in something inflicted on me? Broken heart, I suppose; I'm generally pretty tough, and haven't been badly hurt. If I had to pin it down to something physical, it would be the rollerblading accident I had this year. I really scraped the hell out of my left calf. I still have a scar from it, from my ankle to my knee. Probably have that scar the rest of my life.
Are your parents still together? My folks divorced when I was 5. My mom remarried, and is still married to my stepdad. My real dad cycled through some more wives before he settled on his last one.
Do you wish on shooting stars? I always forget to.
What is your favorite book(s)? Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man always blows me away, languagewise. I love Huck Finn.
What is your favorite candy? Butterscotches are nice, but I almost never have'em.
How is the weather outside right now? It was cool and rainy all day. It's cool and dark outside, now, but appears to not be raining.
What was your first thought this morning when you woke up? "What time is it? 6:30? Shit, I slept in late!
Do you own a gun? Yes.
What do you think of hot dogs? I try not to; I almost like'em, but usually avoid'em. I like brats better, but avoid those, too.
What do you prefer to drink in the morning? Water.
Can you do push-ups? Yes, but they suck.
What’s your favorite piece of jewelry? I don't have one.

What time did you wake up today? 6:30 a.m.
Current hate? I can't think of one; I'm a lover, not a hater.
Favorite place to be? Home with my little ones.
Least favorite place to be? My job.
Where would you like to go? Europe, for like a year.
Do you own slippers? No, but I could use some titanium ones, b/c I stub my toes all the time.
What shirt are you wearing? White t-shirt.
Do you burn or tan? I burn, and fast.
Favorite color(s)? Blue.
Would you be a pirate? Yeah, if I could bathe once in awhile.
What is your favorite holiday? Halloween.
What songs do you sing in the shower? Whatever comes to mind; I usually hum, instead of singing.
What did you fear was going to get you at night as a child? Bigfoot.
What’s in your pockets right now? My jammy pants pockets are empty.
Last thing that made you laugh? Something on VH1's "I Love the 80s."
Best bed sheets as a child? I never had special bed sheets; I just always liked how cool they were when I first got in'em.
Worst injury you’ve ever had? Injury? As in something inflicted on me? Broken heart, I suppose; I'm generally pretty tough, and haven't been badly hurt. If I had to pin it down to something physical, it would be the rollerblading accident I had this year. I really scraped the hell out of my left calf. I still have a scar from it, from my ankle to my knee. Probably have that scar the rest of my life.
Are your parents still together? My folks divorced when I was 5. My mom remarried, and is still married to my stepdad. My real dad cycled through some more wives before he settled on his last one.
Do you wish on shooting stars? I always forget to.
What is your favorite book(s)? Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man always blows me away, languagewise. I love Huck Finn.
What is your favorite candy? Butterscotches are nice, but I almost never have'em.
How is the weather outside right now? It was cool and rainy all day. It's cool and dark outside, now, but appears to not be raining.
What was your first thought this morning when you woke up? "What time is it? 6:30? Shit, I slept in late!
