10 things you may or may not know about Zacki: Christmas Edition

(Idea ganked from Dirk Mancuso... thanks hehe)

1. I despise the song "Little drummer boy" parumpapapum except for the version by Grace Jones on Pee-Wee's Christmas Special! 

2. I love the idea of tacky christmas trees in theory, but feel sad when they are actually executed: EG:Pink tree, or goth tree..

3. I secretly love the nutcracker and have found myself oddly enacting moments in my socks leaping about hardwood floors... go figure

4. I like to believe I have been given my mother's gift for gorgeous gift wrapping, but must now admit it, mine look just average...

5. I try the fruitcake every year and always make the same grossed out face, when will I learn?

6. I own 14 different christmas cd's and would never admit that in public... oops

7. I try to sit on one sexy santa's lap each year in hopes that eventually the damn boy will bring me my christmas wish

8. I don't eat much of anything on Christmas eve... I find it funny that this tradition started with me protesting my mother's lame attempt at dinner one christmas eve, now it just makes sense

9. I still get excited when two things happen... a. when I wake up Christmas morning and b. when I see a sexy santa, did I mention I like sexy Santas?

10. I once asked santa for a house... I got it. My dad made me the coolest Playhouse ever!

Song Meme

The band cd cover meme

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Rather than tagging, I'll let anyone who wants to do one, and feel free to let me see the results. I must say that Cecilgene's is the best I've seen.

Tagged and trying to take my mind off stuff..

While I stew in my anger and juices of confusion at my car going missing, let's reply to a meme to take our mind off it...

"TIED TO A CHAIR" Meme:

Michael of Beefy Cat Angus fame tagged me on this meme of his: "So, I was thinking today- what are my favorite musical theatre songs of all time?

The "totally lame" 5

Kyle tagged me with the following fun meme created by playwright Marisa Wegrzyn..

List 5 things that certain people (who are not deserving of being your friend anyway) may consider to be "totally lame," but you are, despite the possible stigma, totally proud of. Own it. Tag 5 others.

So away we go!

1. I have a love of Nascar... typically this is shrugged of by many as a bit of a joke until they see me watching a race and hear me spout things about "Aero loose" and restrictor plates... I start to give stats and drivers names in quick succession and I always get that glazed over look of fear as a response. Go Tony Stewart!

2. When Deee-Lite or the band Squeeze are played at ANY bar or restaurant I shout with glee, dance like a fool, or sing along. Sometimes all three at once! This is uncontrllable and often done without a second of forethought.

3. I have a thing for guys with mohawks... I know... but there is just something so adorable about a guy who can pull it off. Maybe its the combination of strength of the statement and the fun fuzzy cap it creates you can run your hands along. (I've been tempted to shave my head into one just to see if I could pull it off.)

4. I like country music. More than just that, I could even sing a coupla Tim McGraw and Chris young songs to woo you. (Don't worry everyone, I would never use a country song to woo someone...I'd use bribery. hehehe I'm starting to sound like some sort of schizophrenic aren't I?)

5. If the possibility of gay marriage was there, I'd totally go for it with the right guy! (Just got to find him first...) I list this as one of the things because many in the gay community (and in my circle of friends) consider it "lame" and "trying to be just like straight people." I however love the idea of it based on equality of legal rights as well as equality of two people who love each other being able to share that in the eyes of their loved ones, god, and the state....regardless of sexuality. I can picture the over designed reception I'd totally go overboard with. hehehe can't wait.

Alrighty.... now it's your turn, I tag the following: Paul (Call Him Miss Ross), Michael (Beefy Cat Angus), Duane Moody, Scott (Sardonic Bomb), Dr. Sparky (On My Truth) alrighty boys... lets hear your 5!
