Meme? Meeme? Mimi?
Mama’s gotta get her funny back, so an easy way to do that is to answer this meme (which, I just discovered is pronounced MEE-m and not MEH-mee). I owe getting some of my funny back to Miss.
What is your favorite quotable line from a Movie?
“I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen.”
GAH do I loves me some Say Anything. Still to this day, thinking of Lloyd Dobler and Diane Court in the back of the car and Lloyd shaking after they did it for the first time, gets me all a-twitter with warm fuzzies inside.
Who is the most famous person you have spoken to?
Michael J Fox - I was working at the Disney Yacht Club hotel as a bell services desk girlie, and we had famous people come through quite often, but I never really got to interact with them. I knew he was at the hotel, and new his hotel room, so when the phone rang and his room came up on the caller ID, I JUMPED over to the phone and put on my nicest Disney voice. It was a 20 second ‘conversation’ but I can say I talked to him.
I also ’swept’ by Kevin Bacon when I worked at Star Tours at Disney/MGM Studios, but that’s a whole other story.
Oh, and I’m friends with Dawn. She’s gonna be famous. Just you wait.

Who is your all time favorite Cartoon Character?
Uhhhh… I liked the Wuzzles. Now? I’d have to pick Little Bill?
What foreign food dish do you prepare from scratch and serve?
Lasagna - I make the sauce from scratch. Hellz yeah bitches. Just had some for dinner tonight. Suck it.
What is your favorite section of the Supermarket?
Bakery. Done. And Done.

TV Anxiety
so
my first attack
was at age 9.
i was in the
4th grade.
i remember nearly
every detail.
the heavy breathing.
my sinking chest.
uncontrollable shaking.
hard to focus.
my parents rushed
me to the er.
my pediatrician
was mad that she
was missing the
cosby show
because of
my attack.
the very thing
that started
my attack.
i got in trouble
but i wanted
to watch the
cosby show
but i was
forbidden.
(i probably kicked
my sister)
shrimp cooking
in the kitchen
(i can smell it now).
the heavy breathing.
i was having an
anxiety attack
because i
was restricted from
a tv show.
at age 9.
countless attacks
since.
most not due
to tv.
and i’m scared
and a bit
humored
to see the anxiety
in my
4yo daughter’s
flapping hands
tearing eyes
heavy breathing
over being
forbidden from tv.
full circle.
like mama
like daughter.
tv lovahs.
Sorry to Skeer You
so
apparently i skeered
lots of peoples
by sharing my innermost
thoughts.
i told you
i get in trouble
when i speak
in the middle
of the night.
calls from the MIL
(hi, KL!)
emails from friends
(hi, everyone!)
IMs from a friend
(hi, MF!)
calls from a friend
(hi, KP!)
hugs from a friend
(hi, EM!
tho you don’t read)
i am a-ok.
today.
tomorrow
is another day.
i really am
tired of crying.
we are working
things out.
together.
separately.
all will be well.
i know it
with my
whole heart.
just like i
love him
with my
whole heart.
While I Wait
it’s just not
possible
to find my happy
when my happy
doesn’t
look at me
touch me
acknowledge me
i’ve been told
to wait
and wait
and wait
and it will come
but my impatience
gets in the way
and the tears flow
like the constant rain outside
so much that
my eyes hurt
my insides hurt
my heart hurts
while i wait
to be seen
this might move
things back a
few weeks
months
years
or make my happy leave
again
but i feel i need to
do this
to be heard
i get myself
in trouble
when i speak
in the middle of the
night
it’s just not the right
time
my impatience
gets in the way
i want my insides
my eyes
my heart
to feel better
happy
again
format inspired by - just seemed to fit and it feels right
