A meme. For some reason, there was no sleep to be had last night. Maybe back-to-school jitters. I really should keep a notebook beside the bed. I came up with some interesting things and now, of course, can’t remember them. Anyway, as seen at many places, most recently at New Kid’s, the finish the sentence meme.
1. My uncle once yelled at me for eating his living room.
2. Never in my life have I felt so confident and so uncertain at the same time.
3. When I was five I was chased by boys until I teamed up with them to chase other girls. I negotiated with my oppressors and then became one of them. This is either sad or smart.

13. What worries me most is that the world won’t be a hospitable place for my children.
14. When I turn my head left I see my husband still sleeping.
15. When I turn my head right I see my bookshelf that desperately needs organizing.
16. You know I’m lying if I say I’m voting Republican. (I almost can’t lie–seriously.)
17. What I miss most about the Eighties is my own youth.
18. If I were a character in Shakespeare I’d be Viola.
19. By this time next year things will be very different.
20. A better name for me would be “the strident technophile.”
21. I have a hard time understanding why people don’t change.
22. If I ever go back to school, I’ll study computer science or law.
23. You know I like you if I invite you out for drinks.
24. If I ever won an award, the first person I would thank would be my husband.
25. Take my advice, never assume you can spend time with someone you love later.
26. My ideal breakfast is two eggs over easy with toast, grape jelly, bacon, hashbrowns and cantelope with coffee and orange juice, preferably in a restaurant.
