Zero Things About Me

In the spirit of the “Things About Me” blog posts that have resurfaced lately (see recent posts by Magdalena and Orchidea, for example), here’s my contribution to the genre. But I picked a more interesting topic than me.

Zero Things About Me (50 things about my k)

marvellous k does the following:

1. cuts her sandwiches diagonally
2. has the most gorgeous eyes
3. would wear flip-flops all year round if she could
4. is a whiz a photoshop
5. watches the TV show Nip/Tuck religiously
6. plays the cello (which I think fits her personality perfectly)
7. can get bouncy and excited over literary theory
8. submits in the most beautiful fluid shimmering unquiet way
9. once dyed her hair a shockingly loud color
10. likes to eat her m&ms one color at a time
11. sometimes gets a little scared of thunderstorms
12. has a sticker of the Hello Kitty character “Choco-Cat” on her computer monitor
13. claims to be mostly vegetarian, but eats meat most days
14. has exquisite wrists, the insides of which beg to be kissed
15. has a bit of a thing for cowboys
16. has never seen a Johnny Depp movie she didn’t like (so if Mr. Depp were in a cowboy movie, she'd basically be spending all her days and nights at the movie theater)
17. goes weeks at a time without driving her car
18. is very serious about the difference between “discrete” and “discreet,” which is as it should be
19. has the soul of a poet and the reflexes of a ninja
20. pours little or no milk on her cereal
21. likes the room where she sleeps to be very cold

23. has been the object of many a teenage crush
24. nearly always does things in the last days or hours before they are due
25. when in the right mood, will masturbate many many times a day
26. slips into a bit of a twangy drawl when sleepy
27. takes naps as often as possible
28. does sudoku puzzles
29. inspired me to start running regularly again
30. gets the hiccups most days
31. has an irrational attraction to Tennyson’s poetry
32. has an irrational attraction to online flash games like tetris and snake and such
33. has a warm melodic voice that makes the earth rotate more slowly on its axis
34. only recently got enough hangers to actually hold all her clothes
35. has a love of language that comes across most obviously when she writes smut
36. once considered being a mathematician
37. is into Japanese anime
38. was a cheerleader (which has certainly changed my mind about the general practice cheerleading and its participants)
39. sings along with raucously whiny emo music at the top of her lungs
40. plays a mean game of scrabble
41. always knows exactly the right words to text to my cell phone to make my stomach tighten with need
42. knows how to knit
43. has travelled abroad more times than I have
44. has travelled around the US much less than I have
45. only recently got a watch that cost more than $5
46. cooks macaroni and cheese for dinner all too frequently

A delightful twist and engaging read, thank you Irch for sharing your lovely k with us in this way.

I love No. 6 (rememebr my No. 39?) and 19 made me smile. Numbers 10 and 30 are just so cute, and I'm with taylor, 33 is simply adorable. But 49 and 50 say it all. Simply gorgeous.

warm wishes,

Lena

16, 17, 18. Oh yes!

k sounds perfect for you. :)

But really, Irch, that's just not cricket, as we Brits say - come on, we need to know more about the man in her life...

Thanks to all of you for such endearing comments! (though I wonder what it means when a post elicits so many "awwww"s) This list could have been far longer, of course, and perhaps one day I'll do a "sequel" of some sort, but this felt right for the moment.

As far as doing one about myself: luckily for me, I live in a place where "cricket" is just a chirping insect.
