Funky Cold Medina
How was your Thanksgiving? Did your boyfriend get pass-out drunk and embarrass you in front of your family? Did your grandma broach the topic of sodomy? No? Well I hope you had a good time anyway.
So… I got me some tagged. The rules are you post 7 interesting things about yourself and tag others. I don’t know 7 other real life bloggers and I fear the ones I do know will think I’m a dork if I tag them. So here’s what I’m going to do; tell you 7 things about myself and hope that you do the same on your blog. If you do, you have to tell me about it.
- I gave some serious thought to this list in the hopes I wouldn’t come off as boring
- I am gullible
- I hate whiskey and scotch but will drink them if that’s all you’ve got, knowing full well I will be hungover
- I am vegetarian and plan to be vegan by 2008 (X, Mattman: call me! I have questions)
- My mom gets me a Farside desk calendar every year, I would be sad if she didn’t
- My biggest fear is being 60 and feeling like I never lived
- I drink at least a gallon of water every day
BONUS: I hate reggae, Futurama and the city of Las Vegas
My mom was in town for the turkey festivities. I made all my own vegan fixings and she was cool about it and tried all of it. I knew my mom wouldn’t care either way but I made her promise not to tell the rest of the fam. They are a crazy deer hunting, redneck, tri-tip loving bunch. There is something so weird about people making you feel guilty because you have your reasons for not eating animals. All in all though, only my mom and my aunt knew I brought my own shit and no one else even noticed because WE ARE A FAMILY OF DRUNKARDS and grandma was busy going off about sodomy. We had a great time. I am looking forward to my moms visits more and more. I took her on a sail around the Monterey Bay, I was a little apprehensive because being a nurse and all, she is such a safety nut (she still never misses an opportunity to talk to me about date rape and watching my surroundings) but I was reminded that she used to go deep sea fishing and never gets sea sick. My mom is so rad.
Oh oh oh! BIG BIG NEWS! My mom bought me a sewing machine! I am so excited, I can’t even explain. I have been wanting one for years. Finally Costco wised up and was like, The Millionizer really wants this, maybe we should feature it for the 2007 holiday season. And they did, and it is great. My mom gave me a lesson last night. But now that she’s gone I am afraid to touch it because I don’t want to mess it up. I think I am going to give this girl a shout and see if she will give me a lesson or two. But she is ubercool and probably wants nothing to do with a dork like me. Man, I am feeling especially self conscious tonight. A couple months ago she was like, let’s go get some coffee together. And I was like, Yeah. And she was like, When are you available? And I had some complicated crazy ass schedule and came off annoying and needy and high maintenance and we wound up not ever getting together. I blame myself, naturally. I’m going to give it a try though and keep you updated because you are so interested.
Alright my loves, post your inneresting facts and tell me about it.
The Millionizer tries to tone it down but it’s never enough
PS Did you know that song Funky Cold Medina is about hydrocodone cough syrup when it used to be available OTC? Hydrocodone is fucking vicodin! I’m bored and tired of drinking and smoking. I know! Let’s go to Long’s and get some motherfucking vicodin. Fuck yeah! Man, the 80′s rocked so hard.
Man, I shoulda been sicker in my younger youth.
1. hi
2. i made thanksgiving last night because snake didn’t get to go home. 90% vegan. 75% loaded. it was nice.
3. let’s talk about veganism.
4. snake owns a sewing machine. he gave me (basic) lessons. he can give them to you, too. so can my brother.
5. speaking of snake, ask him about professional football players and “the lean” (cough syrup + gin)
6. are tidbits/declarative statements equivalent to facts?
7. i had an eventful, yet very typical thanksgiving. i would like to tell you about it in person. over some (alcohol).
Not necessarily about me:
1. Sewing machines kick ass and sewing is super easy. Working with a pattern is just like putting together a puzzle where all the pieces are labeled already.
2. Purple drank is huge in Houston.
3. I’m thinking about going veggie. I can’t give up my cheese, though, and I’m freaked out by fakemeat and processed food, which I think is just as unhealthy as real meat.
4. I also hate whiskey and scotch and refuse to drink them.
5. I often behave like a tough bitch but the whole thing is a carefully constructed act to cover up how emotionally vulnerable and insecure I am.
6. It is way easier to openly admit that (and I do, all the time, to anyone who will listen) than it is to give up the act and just allow myself to be vulnerable.
7. I’ve only smoked pot like, 10 times, ever, and never had good experiences, but I’d like to try again.
you guys are geniuses with leaving the info in the comments. nice work.
x, snake just gets cooler and cooler. a far cry from the guy i thought he was in the horton plaza parking garage. does he ever make anything with the sewing machine? can i see it? i will be calling you sometime soon to talk some shop.
b, i totally understand. cheese is the last frontier until veganism. in fact, if it weren’t for cheese i’d already be vegan. also i’m with you on #5 and totally #6. it’s always easier to admit your shortcomings than do anything about it.
