6 WEIRD THINGS ABOUT ME

So I've been assigned this mission of posting six weird things about me...

1. I am usually fifteen minutes late to anything because, due to my paranoia of fire, I have to go through my house at least 17 times each morning to make sure everything in the house is unplugged. I have thought about making a checklist, but what's the fun in that? Also I have wondered, do you think a smoke detector has ever shorted out actually CAUSING a fire???

2. I've always been about as lucky as a black cat crossing your path after you broke a mirror and one of those chain e-mails, and yet, moving half was across the country to pursue a one in a zillion shot at being a successfull recording artist seemed like a really good idea at the time.

3. After 13 years of living in Tennessee the terms "fixin' too", "all y'all", and "might could" sound like completely good English, but Jeff Foxworthy isn't as funny because it sounds like he's talking totally normal.

4. They say that flying is safer than driving but I don't buy it. The whole concept of flying is totally unnatural and anybody that thinks they really are in control of a plane is a much more optimistic person than I am.

5. Horses give me the willys too. I went horseback riding one time and one time only. When riding on the back of a horse, you are in control of nothing. They will do whatever they want regardless of how much you yank on the reign things and eventually will throw you off probably breaking your neck. I'll take a motorcycle any day. You might still end up dead, but at least it's you own fault.

6. I really think that if I won the lottery I'd still eat a lot of fast food. I mean, I'd probably order a lot of extra cheese, but I'd still love the double whopper.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hasn't seemed much like Christmas time here in Tennessee with highs in the 70's for the last week, but no complaints. I realize it's a little early, but with me not being able to think of anything else to post, and it looking like a busy week, it seemed like a good time to wish y'all a safe and Merry Christmas.

THURSDAYS MUSINGS...

So I'm having a turkey pot pie and I'm thinking about that lady on the news that sued Kraft foods because there was only .9 percent avocado in their guacamole dip. I've had that dip and it's pretty good. Hey guess what lady, in case you don't remember, strawberry Crush was a lot better before they added the real strawberry juice. I hope she doesn't start in on Swanson foods, because these things are delicious, and I'm pretty sure its just turkey and vegetables and what not. I'd hate to see them taken off of the market because there wasn't enough "pot" in them as stated...

CAREER TEST

So out of sheer boredom, and too much time on my hands, I've been avoiding mowing my yard one last time before it's frozen solid, by taking career aptitude tests. Basically they ask a bunch of questions about what you like and dis-like and then tell you what you'd probably like in a job. They descided I was a creative/analytical, which is probably career day talk for "unemployable schizophrenic who never finishes anything". The top suggestion was being an architect. Yeah, that would be swell if I had ten years or so to take off work and go back to school. My favorite was number five. Musician. They list the salary as 40-60 thousand dollars a year. Now I don't know what parallel universe these people live in, but if the word gets out to the guys making fifty dollars a night down on lower Broadway things are going to get ugly. I think I'm just going to keep taking the test until I can think like a CEO.

BTW, If you haven't already, go by RT's and wish her a Happy Birthday (this means you Ssssteve, I think y'all are the last two people reading this nonsense)
