I love the crazy ones.

5 random facts about Chris (spread the plague)

written on Friday December 9, 2005 about Something Random

Ana infected me with this meme (I thought we were friends) so all you readers now have access to 5 random facts about the writer of My Mean Girl.

Directions: Write 5 random facts about yourself, and then list the names of 5 people whom you in turn infect.

1. During high school, I was late all the time until I switched to a school that started about an hour later every day (and almost 2 hours later on Wednesdays). I don’t like being late for anything, but morning traffic on the freeway is unforgiving.

2. Whenever I travel, I pack an awful lot. I like to be prepared for many scenarios…

It could be hot during the day and cold at night. I need shorts, pants, shirts, long shirts, sweaters, jackets, stuff to sleep in, etc. Plus, I need “emergency” socks. What if I step in a puddle on Day 3? Then I’ll be short a pair of socks.

I might want to play some video games. Or cards during the trip. Or do something on my laptop. I might need my work files, so I better bring my external hard drive. And my wireless mouse. And in case the battery runs out on my wireless mouse, I’ll need my battery charger and my USB (cord) mouse for a back-up.

I might need some extra cash. And a book to read (and a back-up book, in case I get bored with the first one or finish it). Or my portable desk to do work on—Although, I knew I would need my desk when I brought it to Los Angeles… Annie’s desk is tiny, even for one person.

3. A few years ago, I shot someone across the street—from my room on the second floor of the house! It was a hell of a shot, actually, because they got hit in the neck… with a plastic pellet from a BB gun. It was my step brother (but he wasn’t my step brother at the time) and he was shooting at me, too. I had to defend myself.

4. I don’t have my high school diploma. I graduated, but I never bothered to get the diploma. There’s a chance it’s still sitting in the school office, collecting dust.

5. Annie always sleeps to the left of me. In Los Angeles, one side of her bed is right up against the wall and the height of the mattress is lined up with this big window. That’s my side. I think she arranged it that way so that when the police question her about how I fell three stories to my death, she can simply say she kicks in her sleep.

The lucky 5

I don’t have 5 friends, so anyone that has read this far can feel free to do this on their own website. Free infections for all!

I hope you can forgive me for infecting you.
[Ana passes Chris a bottle of pills]
Here ya go. Some anti-biotics to kill the infection.
hehe

OMG, I overpack too… it drives my Hubby insane. I’m always like, “But what it..?” So I always have a backup! haha

And OUCH about shooting your stepbrother.
That HAD to hurt.

Mean Chris!
haha

Yeah, Annie made fun of me for bringing a desk to Los Angeles, but then she used it, too. haha

The shooting was actually really funny. Cause the plastic pellets are very hard to shoot straight, especially across the street. The wind usually knocks it far away from where you were aiming. And it didn’t hurt him that much—we were just laughing about how crazy it was that it actually hit him.

By the way, Annie’s 5 random facts will be in our next podcast (which I’ll probably be posting tomorrow). I better go edit it.

Marnie has her side too. If I happen to try to sleep on her side of the bed (I’ve never been particular), she waits for me to fall asleep, tells me to roll over, and that’s the end of my protest. But you have given me reason to keep our bed in the middle of the room.

Annie and I traded sleeping spots last night, actually. And she had a dream about John Cusack, so she’s happy.

Where do I gotta sleep to have Rachael Ray visit me?

I think everyone has been infected by this at one time or another! LOL. Great blog.

That’s what I liked the idea of those zipper-leg-pants. If it turns out to be a cold morning you’re set! And then if it turns out to be a hot afternoon you have shorts to wear!
