Yeah. I know. It's not Thursday.
But I'll try anything thirteen times.
So, in my random wanderings around the blogosphere this week, I discovered something of which I was not previously aware. (Yikes. See how hard some people will work not to end a sentence in a preposition? Sad, is it not?)
The Thursday Thirteen.
It seems very simple. On Thursday, bloggers meme thirteen things.
Simple, and yet, I still don't get it. It's probably that same "unable to grasp the obvious" gene that makes it impossible for me to successfully cook a damn turkey.
But, anyway, I ran across the Thursday Thirteen, and I don't get it. I mean, is it really just a collection of blogs where every Thursday, someone picks a list of thirteen random things to list? The Thursday Thirteen people don't seem to give specific lists. So... basically... it's just thirteen things on Thursday, and the bloggers still have to figure out for themselves what the thirteen things are. Meaning, the bloggers still have to do some work.
It's positively un-American.
But, bright side, they let you post your Thursday Thirteen as late at Saturday. So I'm in!
Thirteen Things That I Believed at the age of Thirteen (and What I Think Now):
1. French kissing is gross! (Until you've done it.)
2. Michael Jackson is awesome! (Michael Jackson skeeves me beyond the telling of it.)
3. There's no sentence that can't be made better with an exclamation mark! (Or two!!)
4. I wish a cute boy would like me. (Those cute boys better stay the hell away from my daughters.)
5. Favorite lunch: Roast beef sandwich and Cool Ranch Doritos. (Some things never change. Only now, when I have that, my doctor gives me shit about my cholesterol.)
6. Snow day! Yay! (Snow day! Crap!)
7. My mom is so mean! (My mom should have smacked me more.)
8. My best friend and I will marry brothers and live next door to each other forever and then our babies will get married! (Oh. Hell. How is Sara? I haven't thought about her in forever. I need to call her. What's her last name now?)
9. I want to marry David Addison! (I want to sleep with David Addison.)
10. I'm gonna party like it's 1999. (1999. The whole year, I was pregnant or breastfeeding. Not so much as a single glass of wine. I should sue Prince for selling me that bill of goods.)
11. Orange is the ugliest color ever. (If I could paint my livingroom orange without Fish pitching a fit, I'd totally do it. I'd regret it almost immediately, but I'd do it.)
12. I wanna stay up and watch Saturday Night Live!! (If it's that good, I'll catch it on YouTube at a decent hour.)
13. Thirty is so old! (Tell me that after you've seen the ugly side of thirty-five. Brat.)

Oh, those are too funny! I will have to think of my own, but I think you pretty much covered most of them!! Except my #12 would have been "I want to stay up and watch Starsky and Hutch." Think about it--that statement alone dates me!! *grin* When SNL was good, I was old enough to watch it whenever I wanted! SNL and MTV--oh, those were the good ol' days. (sigh)

Hmmm. Can we add "I think I need a bra!" to "Oh, crap, I need more bras."

I, too, was pregnant or nursing the entire year of '99. I say we get a class action going and sue his ass. I don't ever want to go back and "party" likes it's 1999.
And SNL, loved it in the early 90's then again in the early, ummmmm '00's? but now? Not so much.

When I grow up I want to look like Claudia Schiffer...(oh well, you can't have it all!)

Add me to the list of those pregnant for a major portion of 1999. Sadly, I was not allowed to nurse but I still don't think I had anything to drink the entire year.
And I just bought the first season of SNL for hubby for Christmas. Ahh, the years when SNL was *good*...
