Memes, women and terror

Jeremayakovka replied to last week’s tag before I asked, but today he has Eight Theses On Being Jeremayakovka

In terror, time and language collapse. What remains in the mind (if anything) is the will — yet even that is often displaced. Tossed in that surf, my body became a vivid, constricted concert of heart, lungs, throat, nostrils, a concert bellowing in stunning, perfect pitch: Confront terror with every fiber of your being. If you don’t, it will seize you and make off with you. Fight it NOW or succumb forever.

Go read the rest.

Obi’s Sister makes her own jewlery, Alice the Camel listens to my podcasts (Thank You, Alice!!), Spanish Pundit loves tea, and Lady Godiva (in Spanish) likes people who don’t talk a lot, tell the truth and don’t beat around the bush.

Kobayashi Maru tagged me,

…list 8 facts or habits about [your]self that [others] might not otherwise know and then tag another 8 people and leave comments on their sites letting them know that they’ve been tagged, so they can likewise make the requisite revelations.

1. I taught myself how to read when I was four years old from reading the comic books my aunt Teresa used to buy me.

2. I bought a/an(?) ukulele a few years ago and have yet to find anyone who could teach me how to play it.

3. When stressed out, I go get a manicure. When really stressed out, I get a manicure and a pedicure.

4. I can’t remember jokes if my life depends on it.

5. I’ve been married all of my adult life to the same man.

6. I love bassets and will see about getting one in the fall.

7. After 1 martini I can do a decent Ethel Merman impersonation, but I don’t since my friends won’t stay around to buy me a second martini.

8. My favorite dress is red, classic, and fits perfectly.

L’ombre de l’olivier got tagged and in a very gentle way didn’t tag anyone, so, since I have been tending to blog, home and work matters all day, and haven’t linked to him for a while, I’m picking up on his meme.

Never mind that, that way, I’m also stalling on stuff I should be doing.

Most Favourtite Celebrity Sighting
While I had been a fan of Alan Bates for over twenty years in spite of the age difference, I finally met him after one of his performances in The Unexpected Man. He was truly a very warm man, and even more handsome up-close. And he had a fabulous handshake.
The photo shows exactly what he looked like in that part.

A Little Known Fact
My brother and I had cowboy and cowgirl outfits when we were little, complete with pistols.

A Life Changing Event
September 11, 2001.

Most Memorable Public Event Attended
A Sunday Mass years ago when I was recovering from chronic hypoglycemia. It really was the event that signaled that I was coming back to health, and I was saved by God’s grace.

Disguises and Cross-dressing
See A Little Known Fact above

Best Trip
The first time I went to England.

Favourite Physical Attribute
My legs. One of my hands was in an ad years ago but my legs are definitely my best feature.

Anyone wanting to be tagged?

Update, Thursday, 12 July
The 8-Ball Meme: Eight Previously Unknown Facts about Jeremayakovka.
And after I did this post I called in during Layla’s podcast with Siggy.
