new meme!!!!
what were you doing ten years ago?
i was 26 and working as a secretary at a construction management/consulting firm in River North.
what were you doing one year ago?
my depression was really bad. i was still on Lamictal and binge eating, so i was probably at my heaviest weight. i couldn’t wear my own clothes–i had to wear Brian’s pants, and that just made me even more miserable. my face was completely broken out in nasty pimples because of the Lamictal. as a result, i didn’t want to leave the apartment. i had a hard time doing things for myself–even harder than now. i was miserable and angry at the depression, at myself. it was a bad, bad time.
five snacks i enjoy
- toll house cookies
- bold Chex Mix
- ice cream
- Macintosh apples & sharp cheddar
- dark Hersheys kisses
five songs to which i know all the lyrics
- Happy Birthday to You
- the ABC Song
- Mary Had a Little Lamb
- Fr?re Jacques
- Bingo
what can i say? i’m bad with lyrics.
five things i’d do if i were a millionaire
- pay off student and credit card loans
- get a boob job (ha!)
- establish an endowed professorship for a professor in any field, who has bipolar disorder
- have some research or hospital facility built–and named after me, like the Barb Natividad Blahdy Blahdy Blah Center for Research or something
- remember that whether or not i were a millionaire, i probably wouldn’t be any more or less happy than i am right now (“Happiness Is Mostly Genetic”)
five bad habits
- rubbing my eyes when they itch
- procrastinating
- buying more books before having read the ones i already own
- squeezing the toothpaste tube in the middle, knowing full well that Brian always squeezes it from the end
- swearing and making rude gestures at drivers who piss me off, although that’s part of drivers ed. in Chicago, so i guess it only counts outside the city
five things i like doing
- play Neopets
- play hockey
- ice skate outdoors in winter
- read
- add more and more crap to my sidebar
five things i would never buy, wear, or get new again
- a bikini
- hot shorts
- micro-minis
- spandex mini dresses
- whatever other club clothes i used to wear
five favorite toys
- my SG (even though i haven’t played it in a million years)
- the Xbox
- my re-issued Star Wars LEGO Milennium Falcon
- my Star Wars LEGO AT-AT
- the 4-story LEGO Hogwarts i built that the cats destroyed
here’s the deal: remove the blog in the top spot from the following list and bump everyone up one place. then add your blog to the bottom slot.
this meme actually started without links to the blogs, but i thought that was silly so i went ahead and added them. the people i tag can do whatever they want.
tag 5 people
Nice to know additional things about you
Happy Weekend!
Hey Barb! You’ve still got plenty of room on that sidebar. Go Crazy girl!
Peace………….
I’m grateful you thought of me, but I’m not really into the meme thing. I’ll respectfully decline.
(Drat. And you were just starting to like me. Sniff, sniff.)
“add more and more crap to my sidebar”
heh. Funny! I used to do that with my first blog. I’m more into a cleaner look these days.
I miss my XBox… I sold it on eBay, but never got the XBox 360
You will be happy to know that I am pro-choice when it comes to boob jobs.
I’m glad you are doing better this year than last.
((hugs))
I ALWAYS buy too many books. Jason always is like “Deb, have you read the other 80 books sitting by the bed?” whenever I bring a new book home. I’m so glad you are doing better this year!
Very interesting post. I have learned a lot. ;p
I am guilty of squeezing the toothpaste in the middle too! Do you know the instructions on a tub of toothpaste actually say you receive better results if you squeeze from the bottom? Funny, I don’t notice that my teeth are any clearer when I do that?
I totally forgot to do this! I’ll do it either on Thursday or Friday. sorry sweety!
ah, don’t worry about it.
