The February Meme.

15 February, 2007 by Amy

If I could be totally wild, I would…. Quit my job, buy a beach house, and write pornographic novels (to pay the bills) and literature fiction (to maintain a false sense of dignity). I would not be a complete sell out. I mean, I would be writing my pornography under an assumed identity.

Right now I’m reading…. THE WHOLE WORLD OVER by Julia Glass. I heart Julia Glass. I also just started THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING by Joan Didion. It’s about grief and loss and magical thinking, three things I’m good at.

My best friend says I’m…. sparkly.

I still can’t get the hang of…. parallel parking, public speaking, confronting angry people, truly living on the edge, and keeping my house Martha Stewart-perfect. Not that I actually wish to be Martha Stewart-perfect. I just want my house to be. Without having to work at it.

The world would be a better place if only….. people minded their own business. And chocolate cake. I really think there should be more chocolate cake.

Favorite website….. [Do not be a typical materialistic American consumer and type potterybarn.com, do not be a typical materialistic American consumer and type potterybarn.com, do not be a typical materialistic American consumer and type potterybarn.com!]

……..I love SaveDarfur.com because what is happening over there is inhuman and we should all get involved and stop it. We missed our chance with Rwanda. So let’s do it right with Darfur.

Also, An Inconvenient Truth, because sometimes? You just can’t handle the truth. And also because, once upont a time, before he lost the election and went a little pudgy, Al Gore was a smokin’ hot politician (as far as politicians can be smokin’ hot).

Also: THIS Clive Owen website. Because whenever I’m bored or need a pick me up, I can look at his pictures.

If I were a super heroine I’d be….. I can’t decide! I can’t decide. When I was 5, I wanted to be The Bionic Woman. She embodied feminine empowerment and physical strength. Bionic Woman was married to Bionic Man, but she didn’t need Bionic Man. I even made my mother write a fan letter to her, signed my name, and Bionic Woman wrote me back a very nice form letter.

Later, I switched loyalties to Wonder Woman because she had ice blue eyes, bullet proof bracelets, and flew an invisible jet. Also, she ran around in her swimsuit all the time and, at 8 years old, I deeply wished I could run around in my swimsuit all the time. Actually, even 25+ years later, I still wish I could run around in my swimsuit all the time.

Oh, fine then. I’ll take the ice blue eyes, the plane, and the perpetual swimsuit. *sigh* I’m so predictable. And shallow.

I wish I’d known…… Life comes at you fast, so play hard.

What keeps me awake at night: Not much. Charles says he’s never met a person before who can be asleep as soon they put their head on a pillow. Sometimes, this will happen when I’m in mid-sentence. For awhile I wondered if I might have a narcolepsy problem, but if I do, I only do it in bed.

One thing I never want to do again: The Brazilian Bikini Wax. That was supremely un-fun. They told me: take some Tylenol beforehand, and you’ll be fine! What they should have told me: Take some Vicodin and Percoset and drink 1/2 a bottle of vodka beforehand, and you’ll be fine!

My theme song: Somewhere Over The Rainbow and I’m so very annoyed that Katherine McPhee is copycatting me.

My work: If I could get rid of some top level administrators, the paperwork, one bitchy coworker, and early morning arrival times, I’d be in total work nirvana.

My family: can be crazy. But they are all good people and I love them.

My favorite posession: A card my father wrote me when I graduated from high school. I still take it out every now and then, read it, and deeply, deeply miss him so much I can almost touch the emptiness.

I’m thinking about: Clive Owen’s eyes and hot British accent. In fact, if you ever catch me staring off into space, this is most likely why.

I’m most proud of: making it this far.

I’m inspired by: Clive Owen’s eyes and hot British accent. And Maya Angelou. Maya Angelou is always a good answer when you can’t think of something or someone inspirational…or you want to get into Oprah’s good graces.

Haha! I’m first again! How do I do it, what with my busy schedule of ass-planting on the big fat green chair in my living room?

So I liked this a lot. Yet I can’t help saying (in an incredulous voice, deep in my tiny brain), “You had a Brazilian Bikini Wax?!?” Yow! I’ve heard heart surgery has an easier recovery period.

You have a very kind best friend. “Sparkly” is one of the best things you can be, I think. I’m quite sure *my* best friends would use words like “loud,” or “nosy,” or “rarely sober.” (just kidding. on the “sober” one.)

BUT, I could come drive you around and park your car, and tell people to leave you alone and stop confronting you. You’re on your own with the Martha Stewart house, I’m afraid.

I’m glad the card from your dad brings you comfort. I’ve kept a note from my mom for nine years now; it was one of the last things she ever wrote, before her brain tumor stole her ability to write notes. She’d left it on my kitchen table (she lived with us when she got sick), and it says:

“KT, [her clever abbreviation for Katie, which is what she called me]

“The boys drank the last of the milk before bed, so I hope you picked some up on the way home.

“Someone named Terry called. (Or Carrie?) They wouldn’t leave a message.

“Love, Mom”

And it’s written in her tiny, fancy cursive. I miss her so much.

THIS: For awhile I wondered if I might have a narcolepsy problem, but if I do, I only do it in bed. MADE ME LAUGH!

the comment on your dad made me feel really sad.

i think it’s pretty cool that in one blog entry you can make me laugh so much but also feel so sad.

i also want to tlel you that chris & i went to dinner tonight and sat near TWO VERY HOT YOUNG BRITISH MEN WITH VERY HOT YOUNG BRITISH ACCENTS! what are the odds?

brazilian bikini wax. YIKES!

darfur…i have a friend, susie, who is a psychiatrist in san francisco, and she travels to refugee camps to work. she’s recently been working with darfurian refugees in cairo. incredible what is happening.

i just clicked on “trackback.” what does that mean? did i change something? hmm…
on 15 February, 2007 at 10.55 pm4 Amy

Kay: The note from your mom makes me smile and laugh but in a sad, “I understand exactly” kind of way.

re: my horror movie Brazilian bikini wax experience…it’s amazing the things we’ll do for love. As I walked out of the room of terror–I mean waxing, though, that one Meatloaf song? The one that goes: I would do anything for love…but I won’t do that! Kept playing over and over in my head.

That’s settles it then! You’re hired! I’ll need you take me on a run to Starbucks at 7:00 AM tomorrow morning and then when we get to work, you’ll need to head down to my bitchy co-worker’s room and tell her off for me.

Kay! Stop blogging and get off your fat green chair! You’ve got a lot of work ahead of you!
on 15 February, 2007 at 10.58 pm5 Amy

Patresa: Dangit! I always miss the dinners where you get sat next to the hot young British men with hot British accents! I hate that.

I don’t know what happened when you clicked TRACKBACK. Maybe it sent a message to George Bush about how, instead of bombing up Iraq and being a big butthead about that, he should go bomb up the leader of Darfur and then use Darfur’s leader as an example to show the world: THIS is what a REAL big butthead looks like!

Here’s what’s making me laugh and be sad all at once:

“beebee guns from Wal-Mart”

“10 year old penises”

“hot chick beer commercial where she burp”

Those were all real searches that showed up in my wordpress statistics.

People scare me.

I’ve been wanting to read THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING. I guess you loved it?

Also, just saw Children of Men the other day. Clive Owen is the yum!
on 16 February, 2007 at 1.22 pm7 amy

You know what, Heather? I *just* started it. I’ll let you know how it turned out when I finish. I already know that the ending is sad, though (because it’s about grief and grief always involves sad endings).

Clive Owen makes me want to start eating bangers and mash, drink a bunch of English cider, and run off to live in Great Britain forever and ever. Preferably: in a castle.

welcome to my world.

My name is Amy. I'm a 30-something from the southeastern U.S.A. Which is really good for Clive Owen (whose representatives have already warned me I'm walking a fine line).
I was raised in the South by two Yankee parents which means I speak Spanish semi-fluently. I like taking long walks on the Zen beach of enlightenment but usually get tangled in the seaweed.
I'm an unpublished writer trying to become a published writer. But I don't just write about writing. Stuff happens to me. I share it with you, here. Which is the point of The Blog: Look at what happened to me! And to this person I know! But mostly: look at what happened to me!
Amy's Blog: All Amy! All the time!
Feel free to leave comments or send email to buddhastic {AT} gmail {DOT} com. I always answer. Unless you're crazy. Then I just post a fake picture of you here and snicker at you publicly.
