Meme Madness

I was tagged by Roycee AND Zed so here go the rules:

Rules:
1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.


1) A very close relative tried to molest me when I was 16. It didn't happen because I got away. They never tried anything ever again but I kept it a secret for years so my mom wouldn't be embarrased or feel guilty. I finally told her maybe two years ago and she was PISSED.

2) My greatest fear is either of my sons being molested. Probably because of what almost happened to me. I would kill someone, without hesitation. Seriously.

3) One of my very good friends (she was in my wedding) is no longer speaking to me. I don't know why. I don't care. She was high maintenance and I have no patience to call and find out. Hell, after ten years of friendship, you would think she would call and cuss me out or something right? Que sera sera.

4) My husband did nothing for my birthday. He sucks at holidays and birthdays. I sucked it up and acted like it didn't matter. It does matter and I am still pissed off.

5) Everytime I hear a Euro say "He/She speaks so well". I want to punch them dead in the face.

6) All of my underwear has to match. Even if I am wearing sweats and a t-shirt....my underwear is probably cute. I used to work in Bloomie's in lingerie in college....I developed a habit.....LOL.

7) I stole a lot of stuff out of the bookstore in College. I feel bad now but that's why one of my line names is Robin Hood. *sigh*

8) Men that don't watch or like sports just don't sit well with me. I will probably assume that you are suspect when you probably just don't like it. I am sooo judgemental.


No tags.....just posting :)

1. I still haven't told my mother and that is one secret I'm taking to the grave (funny how I was able to confess it here in blogworld, but wasn't able to tell my mother).

3. That's a good attitude to have.

4. I could tell by your post the week after.

6. I applaud you and wish that more women felt that way.

8. You are not alone.

4. Like Organized Noise, I figured
Mr. 1969 might be the target of
your anger after the fact.

My parents forgot my 19th birthday. Since then, it hasn't hurt as much when someone close to me forgets. The man who says that he loves me forgot last year. I let him slide, but please believe he got nothing when his rolled around two months later.

Your number 3 has happened to me before as well. My best friend since the fifth grade stopped talking to me all of sudden for nothing. She didn't even call for my graduation and didn't invite me to herson's bday party. It was so strange b/c it came from NOWHERE. Hope she gets over if not then whatever...

1. Ditto. That's the topic of my book, haven't told and it'll probably come out. I'm still wondering how/if I'm gonna tell my mom. Or if I'm gonna lie on national television to spare her feelings and the drama that will unfold. I guess now that I've put it out there, I'm gonna have to fess up. *sigh.

4. I would be, too.

5. Chups.

6. Yes. One time, I was running late and was down to the LAST and couldn't find anything, so I wore a mix that was HORRIBLE, Nineteen. Horrible! LOL. Do you know, I got food poisoning that SAME day and refused to go to the ER because they didn't match?!

7. LMAO!

8. Agree.

Men and sports? ME TOO. It SOOOOO bothers me.

1) You're lucky you got away...some of us were not so lucky!

3) Real friends let you know when they got beef...good riddens to her!

4) Kneegrows! Married or not they still got shyt with them...Sorry!!

6) I too am anal about my "knickers"

7) LMAO!!! Thanks for that information *wink*

8) A man who doesn't like sports...isn't that biologically impossible?!?!

LOL@ Robin Hood

I didn't get what I asked for on my birthday either. And no explanation for why not!! And I'm so petty I'm not honoring his request for his birthday. I know this is childish, but I'm going with it, hmph!

I was married 17 years and my only UNSOLICITED advice: don't let it pass without saying anything. If it bothers you let it be known. Little things have a way of growing into BIG things. Big things have a way of growing into problems, and problems....you see where i'm going. I sucked it up too often!

2. You might as well give me an orange jumpsuit and an inmate # 435922932.

5. The word is "articulate"

8. S-U-S-P-E-C-T.

I gotta go work on my 8.

3) I have been there. Forget about it.


4) Why are men so bad at that? Seriously. I do not understand it.

I am so sorry about #1.

2) I agree with you totally.

4) My husband is the same way. The only reason he did something this year is because I kept mentioning it and I told him I would be very disappointed if it went by like any other day. I always plan something for his birthday though. Let me stop before I get a little upset.

6) My 2 year old wants her undies to match her outfit. I already know she's going to be a high maintenance girl as she grows up.

8) They are suspect, I agree.

Odyssey...whew I thought my husband was the only one. He's been like this since the 2nd year of marriage. LOL

Wow, I bet there are many out their holding on to secrets. I have some of my own that I will never tell anyone. Not even blogworld.

@organized=What if your mom found your blog?

Blogger Organized Noise said...

@ nitty-gritty . . . my mom doesn't even know how to turn on a computer, but if she found out then I would have go and pick up that orange jumpsuit fresh was talking about because she would kill him.

Girl, I sadly have plenty of stories to tell. Once he even had the nerve to say I don't need to wait for a special day...horrible excuse of a cop out.

My heart sunk for you when I read #1.

And, I would be your cheerleader and back-up for #2.

Do I need to have a talk w/ Mr. 1969?

LOL @ matching underwear. Only time I match is when I think I'ma get some. HAHAHA

And men that don't like sports are suspect!

My hubbys whole family doesn't celebrate anything. They don't send each other birthday cards, gifts, etc. His explanation is that they never made a big deal about those things.

Uh....that's nice and all....but WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH ME????
And when we were dating, you did those things. So now that we are married? What? LOL

He forgot my first mother's day and I thought the marriage was over. My best friend talked me down from murder. (Shouts out to C-money). I view it as insensitivity to my needs. He views it as me being a typical female and just wanting something.

This is a long standing argument in our house. Welcome to marriage people. Oh...I did get cards from the boys and a card from him but that was about it. Last year he threw me a suprise party....he wanted to make up for the 5 years of not doing anything. I guess that has to last me another five years?

Every time I hear a "almost happened to me molestation story" it makes my hair stand up on edge. It never happened to me, but I think all of us (males and females) were either identified as a target, or, unfortunately, targeted as such. I'm glad you got away, and I feel for those who never did.

As for your friend that is not speaking to you. Well, sounds like her loss. I had a similar situation happen to me 7 years ago. Sometimes we grow apart and that happens, but in this instance, I found out last week that she was bipolar (she is the one that started the ruckus that initiated our tiff). Makes lots of sense, now.

I know I shouldn't feel the way you feel, but I get creeped out as well if a guy doesn't like sports at all. Eew. Or, if he doesn't know how to do what I classify as other manly things: Driving a stick, changing a tire, et al.

1) my friend whose relative succeeded in molesting her still hasn't told her mom.
3) i have one of those. she can holla too.
4) that's tow up!!
5) ME TOO!!
6) and ditto again.
8) and again ditto! if you don't watch some football or something!!

P....I agree. It's so much more common than any of us could have ever imagined. What is wrong with folks? Having kids of my own, I don't know how anyone can look at them in a sexual manner. They are kids. So sad.

I was lucky that I got away but it still affected me emotionally for a long time.

i don't like men who don't like sports, especially during football season!

1) More common than we think it is. I read a few years ago that 1 out of every 4 girls are molested. Not sure what it is now statistically, but I thought about that a whole lot when I was teaching.

4) My husband did nothing for our last wedding anniversary. I kept thinking he was going to bust out some surprise but then, at the end of the night when he didn't, I totally cried. He said that since we had an anniversary barbecue that he figured that that was the present. I cried some more and then I cussed his ass out, told him I was taking his present back and kicked him out of bed. Just clueless! I told him he'll never live that mess down unless he really goes all out this year.

You too?! I will make myself late for work making sure my underwear matches, then coordinating it with my outfit for the day, HAHA!

I mean, one never knows when they will have to get undressed, it would be shameful being caught in my not so best undergarments..lol
