Since I haven’t actually been blogging much these past few months (*cough* years), I thought maybe a meme or two might help fill some space. Maybe you’ll learn something and maybe not but at least I’ll feel a little better about at least writing something.
So here we go (as seen at slackermama.com).
A is for age: I turned 27 this year. That was kind of hard. Because at 27, you are on the downward slope to thirty. You are on the back side of the twenties. At some point, I think I’m supposed to become a grownup.
B is for burger of choice: If I have to choose a fast food, it’s the BK Lounge. They have the best quality burgers, hands down. There’s also a good BBQ joint around here called Melvin’s that serves pretty awesome burgers. But I’d take Steve’s home cooked Bubba Burgers over those any day! 
C is for the car I drive: A 2004 Hyundai Elantra GT in Tidal Wave (i.e. bright blue). It’ll be paid off next June, which will be a big accomplishment for me. The Elantra wasn’t my first car not was it my first car with a payment. But it’s the car I’ve had the longest and it’s seen me through a lot of miles and milestones. And it’s been reliable (*knock on wood*) and a great deal with all the upgrades and features that I got.
D is for your dog’s name: Sammy. The shelter gave it to him and it just seemed fitting. It kind of worked because Steve wanted to name whatever dog we got Sampson. So we just tell everybody Sammy is short for that. Thank god I didn’t get to name him – it would’ve been something fruity probably. I once named a dog Legend in high school. And I would’ve name his sister Lyric if I could. See?
E is for essential item you use every day: The Blackberry, hands down. Since my work and personal email are set up on it, I’m kind of tethered to it. Plus, I live off text messaging (it’s how Steve and I communicate during the day and my preferred way of communicating all together) and having the Internet, GPS/maps and my to-do list on it kind of makes it precious.
F is for favorite TV show at the moment: I’m kind of disappointed with my regulars these days. The only one giving me sheer unstoppable entertainment is Real Housewives of Atlanta. Oh lord, I could go on and on about those gold diggers! I seriously can’t get enough.
G is for favorite game: I would’ve said Halo 3 a few weeks ago but after the upgrade, the gameplay just became total bullshit (I don’t know what happened but we were just getting our asses handed to us – it’s not fun to play when you ALWAYS lose by, like, a lot!). So Steve and I have been playing Gears of War 2 and it’s pretty dope. I’ve been playing a lot of the games over at Sporcle lately. And I’ll always be true to my Guiter Hero and Oblivion – I just haven’t had time to play them.
H is for home state: North Carolina. I’m a Tarheel through and through. Just didn’t stay due to the parents divorce and have never gone back because, well, there’s not much to offer there in central NC (at least, not much that we are interested in).
I is for instruments you play: Do the Rock Band instruments count? ‘Cause I play a mean drum solo. I used to play the violin. Years ago. I can play the keyboard if the keys light up.
J is for favorite juice: Grape. I love it! I just don’t drink it as often. Coming in a close second are apple and orange.
K is for whose bum you’d like to kick: I’m a lover, not a fighter, but if pushed I’m sure I’d have a list somewhere.
L is for last restaurant at which you ate: Alex’s, a local diner. We stopped there after my little brother’s football game one night. The food, which is normally mediocre, was actually pretty delicious. And we were in and out for under $20.
M is for your favorite Muppet: I never had a favorite really. I always liked Gonzo. And Kermit. Totally hated Miss Piggy.
N is for number of piercings: Four, two in each ear. I’d have more but I’m terrified of needles so I could never bring myself to do any of them.
O is for overnight hospital stays: I think only one, when I had my appendix out. And I don’t even remember if I stayed over night then.
P is for people you were with today: Just Steve and the dog. We are poor and trying to get things done so we didn’t go anywhere.
Q is for what you do with your quiet time: Read books or blogs, surf the net, work on my crafty projects. Sometimes I don’t get a lot of quiet time because we don’t actively make time to spend away from each other.
R is for biggest regret: I don’t really have any regrets because all of my actions have put me in the fairly happy spot I am today. Maybe not going to grad school right out of undergrad because then I could’ve had many more quality choices than what I have now.
S is for status: Winding down for the night. Watching some of the Fox animation (damn, I’ve fifteen minutes late for the Iron Chef showdown!). Steve’s already in bed (weird) so I’m just having some quiet time (huh, interesting!)
T is for time you woke up today: Not exact, but probably around 9am. My clock was unplugged and I didn’t look at Steve’s right away.
U is for what you consider unique about yourself: Dunno, honestly. Because I really think the qualities that I might consider unique are actually shared with other people. Maybe not people close to me but somewhere in the world.
V is for vegetable you love: Broccoli or corn. Usually with a touch of salt and a spray of the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter (Weight Watchers habit). Those really are the only vegetables I eat.
W is for worst habit: I’m lazy with life overall, I think. When I set my mind to something, I usually get it or get it done. But when it comes to just generally maintaining and following through over a long period of time, I’m awful at it (examples: this blog, housework, my career, relationships).
X is for x-rays you’ve had: Aside from dental – ankle (many, many ankle x-rays), chest (just this past week actually and once before) and back, wrist and I’ve had an MRI as well.
Y is for yummy food you ate today: Steve’s burgers from the grill. That was dinner! And pretty much the only thing I ate today.
Z is for zodiac: Taurus. And you can tell (stubborn!).
