Meme? Meeme? Mimi?

Say AnythingMama’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?Dawn

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.

How many bags/boxes of Potato Chips are consumed at your place in a month?

0 - Ask me about cookies and that answer will be very different.

Who is your all time favorite Cartoon Character?Wuzzles

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.

What was your high school teams mascot and what were the school’s colors?NHS

Niceville High School Golden Eagles - Maroon, White & Gold

If you wanna do it, consider yourself tagged. It’ll make you happy, like I am now. Or it will piss you off. You pick.

TV Anxiety

Annaso

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.

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
