Tagged by Bret in a scarily naive fashion (he's obviously never heard me "play" the guitar):

1. Three things that scare me:

  • Small spiders
  • Large spiders
  • Medium spiders

2. Three people who make me laugh:

  • The president of Iran, Rajamaneedeenidef, although not in a good way
  • My brother, when he's talking about his cowboyin' days
  • The guy who plays Dwight on The Office

3. Three things I hate the most:

  • Mean people
  • The way a little blob of yogurt poots out when you first peel off the foil top, no matter how careful you are
  • Internet Explorer

4. Three things I don't understand:

  • Why it is that the more rain we get, the worse my lawn looks.

6. Three things I want to do before I die:

  • Snowboard
  • Complete a cross-country bike trip
  • Learn to program an array in PHP

7. Three things I can do:

  • Code a website from scratch without using a page layout program. Not that I would ever do such a thing, but I could.
  • Completely fake my way through the folding of a fitted sheet
  • Run four miles in 32 minutes, but only on a treadmill

8. Three ways to describe my personality:

  • Goofy

  • Samba
  • Sing in a manner pleasing to those around me
  • Remember names until after the third or fourth reminder

10. Three things I think you should listen to:

  • Cindy Morgan's Listen (the whole album, not just the single)
  • Everything by Delbert McClinton
  • That odd scraping sound coming from the left rear wheelwell

11. Three things you should never listen to:

  • Play chords on my guitar
  • When to use "lay" instead of "lie"
  • How to build a time travel machine

13. Three favourite foods:

  • Breakfast foods
  • Lunch foods
  • Dinner foods

14. Three beverages I drink regularly:

  • Water
  • Diet Berries & Cream Dr. Pepper
  • Coffee

15. Three shows I watched as a kid:

  • The Twilight Zone (scared the c**p out of me)
  • Those black and white WWII movies that came on Sunday afternoons after church; I never knew if they were documentaries or made-up movies, but they were spell-binding.
  • Admiral Foghorn

16. Three people I'm tagging (to do this):

  • Kyle, because he's too cool to meme*
  • Denise, because you need to know her better
  • Beth, because I'm hoping she'll send me chocolate, and despite the fact that I'm sure she's already done this one before

*By the way, I'm too cool to meme, too. Just so you know.

I haven't done this one so look for it tomorrow. :) And I'll send you chocolate - is Midland small enough that if I send it to Eric c/o Midland General Post it'll find you? (Los Alamos is actually small enough that you can address it to the persons name and LA, NM with the zip and it'll get there. Some things about small towns are good.) Otherwise, I'll just have to suffer and eat chocolate in your honor. It's a difficult thing, but, well, I'm up to the task.

Beth, please feel free to indulge in my honor. We'll both feel better. ;-)

I look forward to your memish endeavors!

wow, i don't know whether to feel honored or insulted... mainly because i don't know what the heck meme means. so, a quick wiki-journey later, i see that it is somehow related to memory.

my question, eric, is: do you want to be associated with something coined by Richard Dawkins, one of the most famous atheistic evolutionary biologists of all time??? i mean, if you're ok with that...

my answers forthcoming soon.

Richard Dawkins? I thought he was a game show host.

Well, I guess I'd rather be associated with an atheistic evolutionary biologist than a game show host.

A blogger who doesn't know about memes? Sheesh. Sometimes I think youth is wasted on the young.

haha close! it was richard DAWSON who hosted family feud for a while. my roommate and i used to watch him on gameshow network in college while doing homework. he was kind of creepy.

i think he and richard dawkins might be related though... i mean, atheistic biology and game show hosting both require about the same amount of intelligence. and if you think about it, it was only richard dawson who got to kiss a lot of girls (albeit that some were quite old), so even among those two, he seems to outwit dawkins.

i've just confused myself.

Cripes! That's me!

Hey, I'm working on one of those 100 Things thingees, so gimme a break. :)

Posted by: Denise at August 31, 2006 11:38 PM

Denise, this is a good way to get in shape for the hundred things thing. Take your time...don't worry about all the unsatisfied visitors who will drop by your place.

I'm still trying to figure out what made 1997 so much worse than say, 1996?

Posted by: Gwynne at September 1, 2006 09:52 AM

i think you meant 1995-2000.

btw, my answers (admittedly not as excellent as yours, eric) are up at kylelent.com

Posted by: kyle at September 1, 2006 12:17 PM

so, do you think that i'm still too cool to meme?? that'll teach you to ever think i'm cool again.
