fracas

Mark over at Blogitude has tagged me again, even though I’ve still not posted the last meme he tagged me with.  He posted his reason for doing this meme was because “Her Royal Hotness at The Kat House has tagged me yet again… If she doesn’t stop that, I’m gonna start thinking she likes me or something…”  I’d thought about being a smart ass and saying the same thing to him, but he totally ruined that by clearly stating he was tagging Fracas, because I haven’t annoyed her much lately!”

Sheesh. This week I’ve had to admit I’m too bloody old to keep running around as if I was 24, and now this. I get tagged merely for annoyance value. I’m going to have to get him back… really good. 

So Mark said, “I’m gonna morph this LALOLKFATYK (Learn A Lot Of Little Known Facts About Those You Know) meme into something a little more useful.  Add your blog and location to the bottom of this list, and send it on.” Who am I to argue? So.. here is the list and below that, more useless information about the fracas. I can’t promise it’s all true. I might be making some of it up just to convince myself I’m still 24.

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Loosely after my grandmother. Apparently, she wasn’t pleased that her original namesake was male and so to please the MIL, mom said my name was another derivative of hers.

It didn’t work. She wasn’t pleased. Or so I was told.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Does it count why? Yesterday. I was having an allergy thing outside. Oh wait… that’s technically called “eye watering”.

DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Sure. It’s neat and pleasing to they eye. I get lots of comments on how neat I print too.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Well, it’s definitely not SPAM! I’d have to say it’s a tie between Bag Salami (paired with colby cheese and lots of Schneider’s Octoberfest mustard on a fresh Kaiser roll) and Cajun Chicken Breast. Wait… I might change my answer to Pastrami… or, or… that Salami that’s coated in cracked peppercorns.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
I have three. When I’m pissed off at him I say I have four, but Mr. Fracas doesn’t like me when I say that.

IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Well if I was my MIL I’d probably hate me and not be friends with me, but if I was Jayleen then I bet I’d like me and be good friends with me… so what the hell kind of dumb question is that?

DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? 
Me? Fracas would never use that… ;- )

DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Yes indeed, I do. Unlike Mark (who has no idea if he has his tonsils)… I make it a regular habit to check if my tonsils are still there or if they’ve decided to move out of home to live with three buddies too.

WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Ok, no.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Weetabix or something with Shredded Wheat as part of the title.

DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Well which shoes  silly?

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
Physically, mentally, or are you trying to find out if I have B-O?

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
Being Lactose Intolerant, I’ve learned to put Ice Cream on the bottom of the dessert prioroty list. I used to enjoy it and if I wanted to risk the ick factor, I’d really enjoy Häagen Dazs® Rum Raisin , Chocolate Chocolate Chip , or Coffee.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Usually eyes.

RED OR PINK?
Depends what we’re talking about, now doesn’t it? (That was Mark’s answer but it sounded good to me too.)

WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
I drool.. in public.

LOL, maybe not. How about I’ll go with perfectionism. I should try doing something half-assed on purpose, just to see what it’s like.

WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
Someone who probably doesn’t realize how important they are to me and always were.

WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? 
No pants or shoes since I’m doing this in the middle of the night because I’ve been a poopy head and haven’t blogged enough lately. I’m wearing jammies. Not telling what they look like ’cause that wasn’t the question. So there!

WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?
A croissant-nut with chocolate and maple glaze. 

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
The sound of the %$@#! flourescent lights in the basement. I vow to replace them.

IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
Crayons suck. I would be a pen… the kind where you can click one of several colors depending on your mood.

FAVORITE SMELLS?
Roses, newborn babies, grapefruit, lilacs, rain…

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
AussieBabe.

FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
I don’t like to watch sports. Okay then… be that way. Ballroom Dance.

FAVORITE HAIR COLOR[S]?
Dark brown with enough red to show up in the light.

FAVORITE EYE COLOR?
Green.

DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
Sometimes…

FAVORITE FOOD?
Lobster, Wild Rice, Artichokes, Snow Peas, Strawberries/Raspberries, Chocolate, Coffee. Shut up. Coffee is so a food. I know, I’ve lived on it from time to time. It wasn’t pretty but it happened.

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Neither. The ending doesn’t have to be happy, it just has to be something that made me think and made me forget I was “watching something”.

LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
Sadly.. it was Saw II.  It wasn’t intentional. I was up late blowing up balloons and making the traditional “birthday party table” (for the dd) that everyone in the fraccy home gets when they have a birthday, and it was what was on the channel Mr. Fracas left the tv on when he fell asleep after blowing up only a paltry few balloons.

Yes, I fully realize that must mean I am way more full of hot air than he.  Thank you for noticing.

WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?
Damn. I thought I’d get away without describing the jammies. Okay… peach.

SUMMER OR WINTER?
Well unlike Mark, I won’t talk about getting naked.

I choose Autumn and I don’t care if that wasn’t one of the choices. Haven’t you heard that quote that says something about not going where the path may lead but instead go where there isn’t a path and instead, leave a trail. So don’t consider me a bitchy, pushy bag who can’t do what she’s told and always argues about everything… think of me as a trailblazer. Yeah… that. Autumn’s it. Not too hot, not too cold. No mucky muck like Spring, and if you think about it, it’s the one time a year where nature gets to go all out and show off their stuff. It doesn’t last long and so teaches us how to take advantage of the moment while we can. Good lessons. 

HUGS OR KISSES?
Both. Why should I have to choose? If I’m getting them, I bet I won’t be asked to choose one or the other.

FAVORITE DESSERT?
Must.. have.. chocolate.

MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
I’m assuming the question refers to those I’m supposed to tag. I have no idea since I plan to copy Diva and not actually tag anyone. I’m afraid to piss off any more people since I’ve already been delinquent in posting and voting.

LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
See the above question. Repeat it to yourself.

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
Ummm, I’m not reading a book right now… I’m doing this meme. (Mark’s answer but yeah… I’m copying him again. However, this meme is almost as long as a damn book!)

WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
Umm…. the mouse? Sheesh. Hey… bonus, what’s on the mouse? My hand! Rotflmao.

WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?
The Weather Network.

FAVORITE SOUND[S]?
Birds in the morning, thunderstorms or just nothing. Peace and quiet with no one talking at you is a valuable thing to a mom of three.

ROLLING STONES OR THE BEATLES?
Both. I want everything and think I should be able to have everything if I want it.

WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME?
I have seen the light, though haven’t calculated the actual distance to that. It’s a lot farther than most would guess.

DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?
I have lots of talents. Some I can talk about, some not so much.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

WHOSE ANSWERS ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK?
I’m not tagging anyone. Like Diva… I think I’ll just post it and anyone who wants to grab it for their blog should feel free to do so. I’ll see the link to fracas in my stats and I’ll add their link to this post (in the update below) so that they get a link out of it too.

See… that way I can make people happy, not piss anyone off and maybe you’ll all forget how I didn’t show up for the last week.

If not, then I guess I’ll have to resort to posting pictures of breasts, bare-chested men with abs  and underwear photos again. No, not mine… these.

Update - Fraccy Friends suckered enticed into doing this meme:
