25 (or howevermany) Interesting Things About Me Meme

[tripperfunster]

Okay, I am way too dull for twenty five. Let's see if I can break ten here;



1) I can turn my feet backwards. Not just out to the side, a la ballerina, but out to the sides, then all the way around so that they are pointing the other way. This generally makes people wretch, so of course, I do it as often as possible.

2) I hate jubejubes (sp?) jelly-beans and gummy bears. I can't stand the feeling of them stuck in my teeth. Oddly enough, I will eat peanut brittle, toffee and all other manner of teeth sticking things without a second thought. Just. Not. Gummy.

2a) This also includes raisins. Do not want. I don't like any kind of fruit in my bread or cake.

3)I have a life-sized skeleton (named Mr. Whitman) who lives in my dining room. I used to also have a female mannequin (the men were too pricey) named Lily (no HP relation, this was a full decade before the books came out.) Sadly, hubby was creeped out by Lily, so she now lives in the basement of our store. Hubby is not thrilled with Mr. Whitman either, but has yet to dispose of him.

4)I have varying, yet reccurring dreams about having to squeeze through small openings. birthissuesmuch? I also often dream that I can breathe under water.

5)My worst job ever was a Singing Telegram Gorilla. Humiliating, uncomfortable and did not pay nearly enough.

6)I won a Cyndi Lauper look-a-like contest in 1985, and got to meet her. (she was very nice)

7)I was trying to think of my first slash memory, and would have said Rocky Horror (which, in the time before dvd's, I saw in the theatre 67 times,) but deelaundry spoke about Three's Company, and OH YEAH! I totes love it when he pretended to be gay. *swoons*

8)I am deathly afraid of flying, but I do it anyway 2-4 times per year.

9)I am always too hot or too cold. Always. There is no happy medium. Ever.

10)I did hairstyling for film for a while. I got to meet (and occasionally touch the hair of;) Dan Akroyd, Holly Hunter (uptight biatch),Christopher Plumber, Margo Kidder, Micheal Moriarity (sp?) Tatianna Ali, Kiefer Sutherland (he was directing, I didn't do his hair), Whatshername from Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, James Brolin, and a few others I don't remember. Now, I wasn't THEIR hairdresser, but I was the 'set' hairdresser, so when the 'important' stylist was off set doing someone else, I was in charge on the set, and would touch up, etc.

While I'm name dropping, I also had a drink with Jerry Seinfeld (when he was a lowly stand-up comic.)

Okay, I'm pretty sure that is everything that is interesting about me. (and everything that is not.)

I refuse to tag. I'm a rebel like that. (can we count that as #11?)

Tsk tsk if I could find 25 things to say about myself I'm sure you could too! Even now I'm finding myself annoyed I forgot stuff, like celebs I talked to after I read your list.

Which btw woah!!! Cyndi Lauper and Jerry Seinfeld? That is so cool!! I would love to meet them especially since I'm somewhat addicted to the Seinfeld show (I don't care that it no longer runs..) Dr. Quinn, I remember watching that show and denying I liked it...Jane Seymore? Dunno if I spelled that right.

I friggin hate jelly beans. Ew ew. And I tried a jujube and HATED IT. Gummi bears are fun due to biting their heads off.

Also, I totes wanna see the foot trick.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes! jane Seymore! I would sooo fail at any game show where I'd have to remember people's names. (and/or dates).

I'd be all; "Yeah, the guy! With the ... thing! ... on his face! The one that is in that show ... with the ... thing!!! *facepalm*

Omg. So sorry to spam but I just got sent this weird shit and felt like sharing:

OMG I think I love him!

Sooo funny! But where's Jimmy????

[xenafox.livejournal.com]

I figure this is some weird version where instead of skating across a river to save Jimmy, he has to...bike through many fields.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I WAS A VERY DIMINUITIVE GORILLA! *shakes tiny fist*

Okay, maybe more of a flying monkey??

Micky? Is that another word for va-jay-jay? ;)

I love everything about you too, dear.

Sooo,......Azkatraz???????? *puppy eyes*

OMG Christopher Plummer!!? EEEE!

(and Cyndi, too!)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes! Unlike many others, they were both very nice.

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

these were very cool. did meeting all those famous people inspire your wonderful art of celebrities?

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. I've never met a celebrity that I really WANTED to meet, but that's probably a good thing! I met Seinfeld before he had a tv show. I'd seen his stand up comedy, but he wasn't a big star or anything.

Dan Akroyd was cool, because he was a GHOSTBUSTER, but I might have died if it had been Bill Murray instead!!

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

I have been winked at by John Cleese, shaken hands with Eric Idle and Michael Palin, hugged and kissed by Penn and Teller, hugged by Greg Proops, waved at by Bill Clinton and Cheech, and I made Mike Judge, John Waters, Eddie Izzard and Armistead Maupin laugh.

You know, I read every meme that shows up on my flist and I have to say that, seriously, *everything* you listed sounded way more interesting than anything I could come up with. And I really want you to post a picture of that thing you do with your feet. No! Not that thing! The thing from #1.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh! I thought you meant that foot thing that you almost bought me for xmas last year! *is still confused by the entire premise*

[accioslash.livejournal.com]

You mean Pussy Foot? Yeah, that's something you don't see every day. Well, at least one would certainly hope not. I think I gave my computer a virus just searching for the thing.
