Meme: Se7en
Thanks to WfuckingP killing Sunday, last weekend was a pretty unproductive one. I was out of commission most of Saturday due to severe hand/wrist pain. I briefly attempted to use the mouse with my left hand, but soon found that hand cramping and achey. Seemed like nature telling me to get the hell off the computer, so instead I watched a bunch of movies I’ve had stacked up on the box. Let me just say that Love Actually has now jumped into first place on my list of favorite holiday movies. What a charmer! And I swear The Professional gets better every time I watch it. Also? Curse of the Golden Flower is the most beautiful film ever produced, but in a completely different way than Hero is the most beautiful film ever produced.
In other week-old breaking news, I’ve been tagged by Diana, aka Geeky Tai-Tai! Here’s the deal:
Share seven random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog, tag seven random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog. Post these rules on your blog.
So, here’s my se7en:

- I pretty much live in pjs when I’m at home. Put ‘em on as soon as I get home from work, don’t take ‘em off till bedtime. Because I don’t sleep in pjs.
- I’ve never gotten over my fascination with lava lamps. Watching one is utterly soothing to me. I have a small battery-operated glitter one that cycles through six different colors, and sometimes I even carry it around with me. Here’s one of mine on ThinkGeek (that’s Gort, my computer gargoyle, beside it).
- I have trouble falling asleep unless our big cat, Lynksis, is curled up against my feet. Her purring vibrating through the soles of my feet is the best sleep aid I’ve ever found. Plus, her heavy fur keeps my toesies cozy.
- I have vivid sex dreams every night. Once I dreamed I was having sex with Jason Voorhees, in his Jason X upgrade gear. Another dream-sex partner was Scar, the Predator from AVP. Yeah, I’ve always had a weakness for big guys.
- I adore triviata. Whenever we watch a movie, I simply must visit its Trivia page on IMDb so I can read all the random little facts about it (and then annoy Bret by sharing them incessantly).
- I became addicted to Valium at the age of 17, and didn’t kick it until age 22. In a fit of self-disgust, I stopped cold turkey. After five years of constant sedation, the sensations of unfiltered real life seemed like an assault.
- My favorite time is 11:11, but I don’t know why. I love it so much that Bret and I got married at 11:11 a.m. Whenever we notice that time (a.m. or p.m.), we race to say “I love you” to each other. We’ve both even done so via phone call or text message.
P.S.: I didn’t tag anyone because I swore off tagging people awhile back, but memes only survive if they’re passed around …

Ooo, I love movie trivia too. When watching a movie, Steven and I always have fun trying to guess what obscure actors we have seen in other movies as well. If we can’t remember we submit to imdb.
I wish we had a 11:11! That’s too cute

I don’t own a lava lamp but whenever I am near one, I get entranced too. I think it’s a great relaxation thing for sure.

I love the lava lamp as well…

Big love for lava lamps. And aren’t YOU a ThinkGeek rock star?

One of my Christmas gifts to Kenzie this year was a Lava Lamp in the same colors I had when I was a teenager. I ruined mine back then, though, by swirling the contents while it was warming up to make weird shapes. The liquid became all murky and you had to really concentrate to see the “lava”.

I’ve always liked lava lamps. I have sex dreams almost every night. Most of my knowledge is trivial.

Wow, I had no idea so many people still love the lava!

I wear the same uniform at home! So comfy and unrestricted. I sleep in the buff too! Why don’t I have vivid sex dreams every night?

Oh I had that kind of wrist/elbow pain. I know what you’re talking about. I tried using the mouse with the left hand to prolong my right. Sounds like you might actually need a little bit of massage and rest from computer. Hope you recover speedily. You’re just too good not to blog.
I work at home, so I’m pretty much wearing glamorized PJs (velcro sweatpants and old cardigans with tank tops). Sometimes when I’m in a good mood, I try to wear work clothes at home, but it’s just not the same. I love them. Love. I would go out wearing them if people would stop giving me weird looks.

Diana: Probably because you’re too busy having vivid LIVE sex!
CK: I’m SO glad I discovered your blog! Hey, do you know Karl?
