A meme
Six quirky things
Tagged by Lonestar girl
I haven't done a meme in a while so I was happy to oblige on this one.
1. I'm good at making something from nothing or creating the things I need from household objects around me. Once when all my dad's appliances were stolen I used a waffle iron to make steak and potatoes.
2. I always have an urge to fix broken things rather than replace them. Sometimes I'll spend countless hours gluing a shattered dish back together instead of buying a new one.
3. My internal clock makes me a good cook. I can make each part of a meal so it all comes out hot and on time without thinking about it.
4. I have a recurring nightmare where I have several old cars and I end up parking them all over town then forgetting where I left them..when I finally remember they are always gone.
5. When someone pisses me off beyond my normal tolerance and doesn't immediately take steps to correct their behavior, I just walk away and never look back.
6. I often look back on parts of my life, cringe and say to myself..."What the fuck were you thinking?"

every body does 6
Waffle iron to make steak and potatoes?? You ARE a good cook!
I like number 5, and am a lot like you in that regard. I have lost many an aquaintance that way, but I've never regreted it...
I think too many people spend too much time maintaining only 'adequate' relationships. I have no room in my life for 'filler'. I need the real thing, or not at all.
(we seem to both have had the experience where friends stop being friends once they get hitched)
I also have done #5 a few times in life.
Yeah, what the fuck were you thinking?
I have that lost my car dream as well and as for six ...
*cringes*
I too have an excellent internal clock and have done plenty of cringing in my time. Cheers Hammer!!
Good post...Hey Hammer..just taking a look at your side bar. Lots of duplicates...what's up with that. Also, you may want to redirect my link to the Hurt Locker instead of my personal blog that no one really will get to see anyway.
I have a couple of recurring nightmares too, and I've spent time thinking about it and what it means, haven't come up with an answer yet.
Waffle steak and potatoes.... you should open up a themey kiosk at a Texas Mall. Side dishes:
sarcasm, wit, and humor.
#6, all the friggin' time.
For me, #6 is "Oh my God I am such a dork!"
I've been having #4 a lot lately, except it's my one current car.
Wish we knew someone to interpret.
I bet it means sub-consciously we're worried that Al Gore and his "Greenies" are working towards actually banning all cars.
The only one that doesn't match me is number 4; I've never had a recurring dream.
I agree with the majority...I do 6 a lot too!
3 is very impressive! I wish I had that ability! :)
No internal clock or GPS around here. Do you have a widget I could install?
Cheers
Have said it before......you, Sir, are one of the most interesting people on the planet. Plus, if anyone doesn't like the language in your posts then they may go somewhere where their delicate sensibilities won't be offended. Just a thought. :)
I wish I could walk away like that. I dwell on people who make me crazy.
my meals have to all come out at the same moment also - and i get so frustrated seeing somebody in the kitchen get the entire main course done and as an afterthought make a salad and say, "we've got to wait while i get this salad ready." oops! did you have a dsa (dumbshiiteattack)? shouldn't you have been making the salad while your pasta was cooking instead of just staring at the pot awaiting its doneness?
i take the kitchen quite seriously.
hammer - are you the type of person who also has to come out even on your meals?
oh I love tags :)
I like the way u manage with everything u have.. and the way u save!
1. Me too, but the steak and potatoes from the waffle iron is very impressive indeed.
2. Me too, and I've wasted a lot of time on it. For some reason I have a hard time throwing away the pieces of the things I can't get to work in case I need them for something later.
3. That's awesome.
4. Dude, you're weird ;-)
5. My wife has a friend that has been dying for 15 years, and every time we hear from her I can't help wishing she'd get it over with already.
6. All. The. Freakin'. Time.
I was just thinking that myself this morning...re: #6
I can identify with 3 and 6.
I can make everything I cook finish withing a minute of everything else and it all hits the table at maximum hotness.
I look back on my life and cringe too at some of my words, actions, decisions.
I remember reading that the bass player from Nirvana said that if he were to ever write an autobiography, he'd name it "What The Hell Was I Thinking!" I can relate to that.
