Eight Things

Posted by Rebecca Mon, 06 Aug 2007 16:02:00 GMT

I’m going to do a stupid meme today because it may actually turn out interesting, even though they rarely do. Here’s to hoping.

Eight Things You Don’t Know About Me.

1.) I’m afraid of the dark if I’m inside a building. My grandmother’s house at night is especially creepy, because it’s old and creaky.

If I’m outside, I love the dark. Why? Just look up.

2.) I used to have a cartilage piercing. My mom tried to pull it out once while I was sleeping. It got irritated and infected from the yanking and tugging, and I finally had to take it out and let the hole close up. I miss it. Maybe I’ll get another one.

3.) I have a secret love for polka dots.

4.) I have a secret love for polka music. Just kidding! But I really do have a secret love for twangy bluegrass music.

5.) In the winter time, I usually go for weeks without shaving my legs, cause, what’s the point? I’d rather be lazy.

6.) If you think my secret love for Jeff Goldblum is weird, wait to you’ll read this. When I was 12, I had an unexplainable crush on Charlie Sheen. I have NO IDEA why. Seriously, I’ve been weird from the get-go.

7.) My favorite alcoholic beverage is bourbon neat. But it has to be a good bourbon, like Woodford Reserve.

8.) I have never lost at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit.

There. Now your life is complete. Bloggers, feel free to do your own meme, so that we can all feel like we know each other a little less superficially.

Here there be monsters.

I tend to blink when people take pictures of me, so I always look like I’m squinting, or like I’m stoned.

Dominic got tired of it and decided to take matters into his own hands.

I hate to admit it, but the 80s really were kinda cool.

Yes. It was the decade when women went through a can of Aqua Net each day and walked like Egyptians in their Egyptian-style make up.

People wore socks over their jeans, and leg warmers were a fashion trend. So were Reebok high tops.

::Shudder::

However, the 80s did produce some incredible things, like Hair Bands, the movie Labyrinth, and the cartoon we all know and love, Transformers. Even as I write this, “Transformers, robots in disguise” still echoes in my mind.

Dom got tix for us to go with some friends to see Transformers the movie tonight.

I’m stoked. It’s going to be off the hook. With all this 80s stuff I’ve been filling my mind with lately, I just may have to dig out my crazy eye shadow and rubber bangle bracelets.

Then again, maybe I won’t.

OMG, You'll never believe this...

Marci just told me that the person responsible for the package-waving, pelvic thrusting “Dance Magic” sequence featuring David Bowie in Labyrinth was choreographed by none other than Gates McFadden. As in Dr. Beverly Crusher.

Creepy.

Apparently she choreographed the “Chilly Down” sequence as well, which is equally weird, just not as disgusting.

I bet you didn’t know that David Bowie was one of three choices for the role of Jareth in Labyrinth. The other two were Sting and (not at all surprising) Michael Jackson.

I know I’ve written a lot lately about Labyrinth, so to cheer you up, I’ll leave you with this parting thought.

Umm, yeah.

So I went to see Labyrinth with Marci yesterday.

Every time the package made an appearance, the ENTIRE AUDIENCE busted out laughing.

The big screen made it unavoidable. That’s all I’m saying.

Because it scarred me for life, and I feel the need to tell you that I am sooooooo not the only person who noticed this in the 80s, so there. You can shut up now.

I read this blog entry and felt so much better about having noticed the said characteristic which nuclear boy so carefully pointed out in the second picture in this entry.

When I was 5 years old I noticed It and It really scared/bothered/worried/unnerved me. It still does because, ewwww!

But I like the movie so I watch it nonetheless, and shamelessly laugh every time It makes an appearance on the screen. It’s like an entire separate character. It should be listed on Its own as part of the cast. If you don’t believe me, watch the movie.

I am preparing myself to be even more scared/bothered/worried/unnerved, because there’s a chance I’ll go see it with Marci on Sunday on a big screen at Dobie.

I’ll let you know how it goes.
