Drew Carey loves it when I don't play by the rules.

So, you know how I like to do memes but I like to change them up because rules and I don't actually get along so well? (How I am not in prison for eternity is beyond me, honestly.)

I'm stealing Tug's meme, except I'm also stealing her answers and then just commenting about them, but on my blog in a post instead of in her comments where comments belong. Yup. So, without the furtherness of ado…

Tug: I totally think men on motorcycles are HOT, but will never.ever sit my ass on one again as long as I live. (the motorcycle, not necessarily the man) ;-)

Poppy: I was offered to ride a motorcycle when I was seven. I was terrified of the idea so I declined. Also, when I told my brother I am dating a man from NYC my brother asked me if he was a biker (as in, Harley). Because, ya know, all guys from The City are bikers! (hehehehehehehehe)

Tug: I don't believe my mom when she tells me she's proud of me, but I do believe my dad. I hope my daughter believes me when I tell her.

Poppy: I am the opposite. My dad rarely praises me, but when he does I don't feel sincerity behind it. When my mom praises me it's usually with that choked up voice I get when I'm really proud of someone, so I know she means it.

Tug: While I'm very confident and well-spoken with anyone - no matter their position in life - each & every day - I still have to really talk to myself & convince myself not to cry or scream when I'm REALLY mad - because if I've gotten that mad? I've held it in, and that's not good.

Poppy: I actually used to have this problem, but back before blogging. I :pinkpuffyheart: blogging, it's really helped even out my moods because I don't have to keep everything pent up. I know that I could just talk things out (as in, omg, verbally!!!!), but I have a very hard time not just completely clamming up when things are bothering me. I'm an internalizer.

Tug: One of the best times my daughter & I have had was a trip from Vegas to MT in a car that crawled up hills (think semis & motor homes passing you & stopping every 100 miles or so to add oil), but flew down them! We totally bonded (her jr. high years), and just had a blast doing what we wanted, stopping where we wanted, and cranking the tunes, singing along, and laughing.

Poppy: I submit exhibits A, B, C, and D.

A: Bdogg
B and me :)

B: Dawg

C: Mom
ETSU Natural History Museum - SUE, Mom, Poppy

D: Big Brother

Tug: I have never in my life been anorexic, but I can look at a woman with my body type & think she looks good - but I don't think I do. In the same breath I can say I'm lucky to have 1 or 2 good hair days a year, and I don't really care. This is me, take it or leave it. ;-)

Poppy: I've been bulimic and anorexic. I was much more successful with the bulimia part since I love to eat so much. I'm still bad about food, but it's not because I have control issues. I'm just lazy about incorporating healthy eating into my life. Send me on vacation and I eat breakfast, lunch, and steak dinner. Otherwise I kinda just suck at squaring away those meals. I think women with my body type are beautiful and, not to be conceited or anything, I think I'm beautiful. It took me a long time in life to think that, but I'm there.

Tug: I'm quite the cunning commentor, but a pretty pathetic poster in the blog world, but I'm glad I'm here (and again, take it or leave it) - I've 'met' some pretty awesome people!

Poppy: Tug is not a pathetic poster. That's just redonk. However, I totally agree that I've met some pretty awesome people in the blog world! (If I said I hadn't then my best friend and my boyfriend would probably be kinda pissed at me, maybe a little. :grins: )

Thanks, Tugbug. That was fun!

Sharing the love

Tug nominated me for an award. Awwww, yay! :love:

I'm supposed to award five other people who Cheer Me Up, but honestly? Every single one of you cheers me up when I need it. So, thank you for that.

Do I look fat in these?*

Thanks to Tug for giving me something to post today. Sadly, I'm posting this live, because I'm not tired. Again. Eeeeeeek. Tomorrow (err, today) is gonna suck.

1. What is your occupation?
Beautiful Geek

2. What color are your socks right now?
They are white. sigh. Which is sad because I have two baskets filled with socks. I love socks.

3. What are you listening to right now?
My fan keep my computer cool, and the Daft Hands video. :smiles:

4. What was the last thing that you ate?
Lindt chocolate truffles from my brother and SIL.

5. Can you drive a stick shift?
Of course I can. What kind of stupid question is this? :grins: (It's what I learned on.)

6. Last person you spoke to on the phone?
It is taking me longer than 30 seconds to remember, so I'll just say: I dunno. My mom?

7. Do you like the person who sent this meme to you?
She didn't send it but if I were a man she and I would be married.

8. How old are you today?
33!

9. Favorite drink?
Coffee in the morning, fountain soda Coke the rest of the day.

10. What is your favorite sport to watch?
Hmmmm. I actually really enjoy watching a lot of sports, but I shall pick the controversial Women's Billiards as my favoritest.

11. Have you ever dyed your hair?
Um. Considering that it is currently dyed a feisty redhead color, I'm gonna hafta say "yup" to this one.

The kittos!

13. Favorite food?
We say tacos.

14. What was the last movie you watched?
Stranger than Fiction (again)

This is random.

Really, right now, I have no fear. I'm just in that stage of life where I'm blind to all the things I should fear. I have mild insecurities, but I don't fear anything. (Don't worry, it won't last.)

32. Plain, cheese or spicy hamburgers?
What is meant by spicy? Mmmmm. Black and blue burger please, extra-crispy-well done.
