….if not lazy into recycling. What are you doing?
A bakers dozen about me.
Write 13 things about yourself and tag 13 people including the person who tagged you. The tagged people post a note with their own 13 things, and so on.
I’m not tagging anyone with this.
Here goes:
- I wish people would stop saying, “Plain Jane.” Y’all say it all the time and it gets really old.
- I’m currently hunting the perfect image to overwrite the (small) tattoo on my back. It isn’t bad or wrong or anything; it’s just boring. I am contemplating an image of a cephalopod right now but something else could win out in the end. Stay tuned.
- Men who dismiss and ignore my interest in sports will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes. Likewise, men who take it seriously will be saved.
- I am much more impatient than you know.
- People who are “all about the journey” exhaust me. People who are “all about Journey” frighten me.
- Please stop filling the perfectly comfortable silence with inane comments and poorly executed jokes.
- Apparently I am using this list to grind some axes. Let us all proceed with caution.
- Being unemployed for 8 months was the most depressing and defeating time in my life. It has set me back in every way imaginable. I’m climbing my way out of it but it isn’t easy. Shit. I hate how melodramatic this sounds. I don’t mean it that way at all. Just pretend I am telling you this in my standard matter-of-fact manner. If you’ve never heard me speak, imagine it with someone else’s matter-of-fact delivery. That should help offset the drama. If all else fails, imagine Bugs Bunny is saying it.
- As hard as this seems to be to believe, I do not want any children. I know! And me unmarried and almost 40, to boot. Look, I like kids; what’s not to like? I just don’t want any. Never have.
- I write significantly more than I talk. I miss the days of actual letter writing, but email is acceptable as you know if you’ve ever corresponded with me. Sorry my typing is so terrible. I can’t proofread my own writing either.
- I’m compiling this list in a coffee shop. In a journal. Using a Sharpie. While wearing a scarf (but no beret). I’m pretty sure I need my ass kicked for this.
- I don’t drink coffee.
- I love geology and cartography. Maybe I should get a map tattooed on my back. See #2.

Re number 3- How do you feel about the Yankees off season shopping spree?
Dad: Setting my complete contempt for the Yankees aside, good on them. If they can afford it and think it will help them, then that’s fine. Honestly, though? For that kind of money, they should not only win the World Series but also not lose a single game all season. Otherwise, it was a complete waste of resources.
I hope they wasted resources.
Re: #1: What about “Insane Jane in the Membrane”? Is that acceptable? Either way, I might start using that expression as soon as I figure out what it means.
Re: #13: I owe you a blog post on this. Will get to it soon and link back here.
Did you notice that the top middle picture of the cephalopod link looks like girlie parts….with eyes? Maybe not that picture for your overtatoo, although it may spark some interesting conversation…I don’t know…just thinking outloud. I’ll stop.
Erik: No. And: you do?
plantmama: Those are not the images I am considering but thanks for your input. Now, to make up for it, please identify these for me.
Tattoo Idea
Correct…Ground Cherry (Physalis pruinosa).
Re #2: Squid Art? or inspiration on the good and the not-so-good in cephalopod tattoo fashion…
I went to say hello to the Colossal Squid at the Te Papa Museum a couple days ago. It was awesome, if a little gross.
Frédérique: Yep, sea creatures, particularly deep sea creatures, lose some of their charm close up. We have a Fairly Large Squid in DC and it is awesome and gross.
You’ll all have to trust me on the tattoo, although I will say that the squid art design is much more to my liking than those overwrought or twee tattoos.
Or you could get a chinese symbol tattoo. That would be so totally original!
Or something written in lolcat. “I can haz ta2″.
If I’m being too helpful, let me know and I’ll stop.
I think I have found my tattoo image.
I finally got around to making my Geology + Cartography post.
