ImPerceptibility

Michelle asked me to do the 8 Things Meme. Here are the first 8 things I thought about. There is plenty more weirdness you may or may not want to know about. I’ll save some for later.

My birthday is this month. I’ll be 29 again.

I love to bake bread. My pantry is full of different types of flours and grains. It’s almost an obsession. I make really good bread so people tolerate it.

One of my favorite movies is ‘The Big Easy’. “Just relax, darlin’. This is the “Big Easy.” Folks have a certain way o’ doin’ things down here” There have been better, sexier, more meaningful movies since but the young woman in me still wants to dance with Remy with some cajun music in the background.

I’ve only returned to the town I grew up in once. It was for my brother’s high school graduation. There is no reason I don’t go back. I just figure I spent enough of my life there.

I don’t visit the battlefields in Fredericksburg. I can’t stop myself from imagining that the grass is green because it is has been well feed by the spilt blood of other women’s children.

I had freshly picked strawberries for lunch yesterday. They were good.

I don’t eat beef because I grew up near a cattle farm. They would sell the calves to other farms. I would stay awake at night and listen to the mother cows mooing for the babies they couldn’t find. Beef doesn’t taste so good when I think about that. Every once in awhile I’ll eat a hotdog or something that has beef in it. I pretend it’s the mean bull that tried to trample my dog. That’s doesn’t taste too bad.

Nuns frighten me. Especially when they travel in packs. I use to think that they would suck me up into their skirts and make me go to heaven if I wanted to or not. I’m not sure where I got that idea. Probably my dad.

From before: 10 weird things about me.
