Sleep with Me

26 06 2007

In the spirit of competition (and to support a fun new meme) I’m doing this meme I grabbed from FRACAS on her blog here.

6 Weird things I do while getting ready to sleep or while sleeping:

1. The tags on my bedding must (I repeat MUST) be on the bottom left hand side. Like the Princess and the Pea I can tell if they aren’t there. I simply can’t sleep.

2. I love my room freezing cold to sleep in. Winter I have the windows open all night, in the summer the air con is pumping madly at night.

3. I sleep naked. Except for the eye mask, and ear plugs I wear. I can’t sleep with any clothes on, even socks. (Sleeping at my mother in laws is dreadful because of this). Even though I have to be naked, I must have something covering me from my feet to my shoulders.

4. I love fresh linens. And spend way more on high tread count sheets than I should.

5. I sleep on my stomach most nights (bad I know) and my legs in a “V”. All three of my cats sleep between my legs in the V.

6. I flip my pillows constantly during the night. I like the feeling of the pillow when it seems cooler and fresher.

Instructions & Notes:
By Shelli : I thought it would be fun to see what things other people do, while getting ready to sleep and/or while sleeping, that is a little odd. I picked the number 6 not because that was all I could come up with for myself, I think I could come up with many more, but because no one ever uses the number 6 for memes. It’s always 5 or 4 or 7, but never 6. What do people have against that number?

This is Fracas‘ friend bluepaintred’s friend Shelli’s first meme. (did you get that??) The meme suggests tagging 6 people. (I’m choosing not to tag anyone, but feel free to take this meme yourself and tag as many people as you choose.)

The Pizza Edition. I’m hungry, what can I say.

The Monday Melee Questions:

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

I hate the stigma attached to pizza, that its fatty horrible and never nutritious.

You can make healthy pizza.  You just need to be far more selective of your ingredients, and you really can’t get ‘healthy’ pizza from your local pizza parlour.

————————————————————–
2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

30 minutes or its free.

How many of you have really gotten the pizza free if its late?

————————————————————–
3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

Small pizzas are too expensive to justify ordering them for one person. So we don’t order pizza that often, cause Colin isn’t really home for dinner during the week. :(
I wish I could eat pizza every day.

————————————————————–
4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

Domino’s pizza local to us sent us some kick ass coupons, we haven’t gotten pizza from them in a while. One is $10.00 any order. The second is a free large pizza. SCORE!

————————————————————–
5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

I can be flexible with my toppings on my pizza. I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to pizza pies! ;)
————————————————————–
6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

I wish I could make real ‘pizza joint’ pizza at home.

————————————————————–

Road Rage Edition.

————————————————————–

The Monday Melee Questions:

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

People’s lack of respect for the road and rules of the road. Perhaps this is just directed towards Quebequois.

I have been cut off, cut in front of, nearly hit (in and out of my car) all in one freaking weekend.

I am this close to going postal on someone.

Why are there so many ASSHOLE drivers out there????????????

For frig’s sake, how on God’s green earth did they ever EVEN get a drivers permit?

————————————————————–
2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

Obviously the automobile driving associations and government agencies are pretty bogus. . . .

————————————————————–
3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

People’s driving in general. But most of all the lack of signaling. That seriously gets my goat!

————————————————————–
4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

There was that silver Honda FIT on the road this morning, I have no beef with them. They seemed to understand what was going on and how to manouver their vehicule safely.

————————————————————–
5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

I understand and follow rules of the road, and know what the frig a freaking SIGNAL is!

————————————————————–
6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

That I had a vaporizor ray in my car, and every time a jerk-off pisses me off, I can nuke them.

————————————————————–
