Pardon my meme...

...but I’ve been resting. And recharging. And fighting the Lifecycle of a Blogger Step 5 (actually, it would probably be Step 11 at this point, since I’ve been doing this since 2003) urge to take a hiatus or stop blogging altogether. I think I just need a break (and a free weekend with no commitments and the first two seasons of Northern Exposure on DVD).

I snagged this meme from the always-creative Carbon Press.

WHAT I'LL NEVER DO, AND THAT'S OK:
Be a celebrity.
Run for office.
Have children.
Kill my television.
Write the songs that make the whole world sing.
Be a vegetarian.

WHAT I'VE DONE, AND WOULD LIKE TO DO AGAIN:
Roller skate while wearing a fluffy skirt.
Plant night-blooming jasmine outside of my windows so I can smell it throughout the house.
Turn fact into fiction.
Window shop King Street in December when the holiday lights are up and twinkling.
Screw convention.

WHAT I'VE DONE, AND WILL HAVE TO DO AGAIN:
Travel solo.
Remove someone from my friends list. My real friends list, not MySpace.
Lose my temper in a big way.
Write my way out of a paper bag.

WHAT I WON'T DO AGAIN:
Have a dog.
Cry in front of people.
Shop at a “larger sizes” store (nothing wrong with it; been there, don’t want to go back again now that I can buy off the rack anywhere).
Date someone I can’t stand just to be dating someone.
Hard drugs.

WHAT I MAY STILL GET TO DO:
Publish a book.
Live in Portofino.
Buy a house.
Meet The One.
Change the world.
Be 90 years old.

  1. Ah-ha! Biffle was wrong when he disparaged my coolness the time I did a meme on Baxter Sez by saying, "Kelly Love Johnson would never do a meme." You did one, and therefore I am cool.

  2. Biffle was wrong! I'm so uncool that I'm actually cool. Of course, it could also be that I'm lazy and/or have run out of things to say, therefore I relied on a meme to get one post in this week.

  3. One of the nice things about being in your mid-40s is that you're so far past the possibility of cool that you can pretty much do whatever it is you want, and if people think it's uncool, well, you're in your mid-40s, what do you care?

    Besides, this is a very cool meme. Of course, I say that as an uncool person.

  4. What's not to love about a meme?
    Ready-made topic
    A safe opportunity to be self absorbed?
    Short, pithy content?

    Check! Check! Check!

    Love it.

  5. Just the other day I heard someone say "who would WANT to be 90 years old?!

    The answer, of course, is someone who is 89.

  6. Roller skating in a fluffy skirt is now on my list.

    Thank you for saying something so kind about me ~ creativity is not something you are lacking, either!

    Now, I'm off for a brutal run, wishing I could be getting drunk on champaigne instead...

  7. Excellent. Based on your answers I believe we might just get along famously (as long as I don't talk about my kid too much which I did this week because it was his birthday run-on sentence much?)

    I need to do this meme next week. All because of you.

    Good weekend to you mizz Kelly Love...
