How would you like to be remembered?
100 years from now, if i even AM remembered by anyone, i'll consider it a personal victory and slap someone a high-five in Heaven.
I don't believe in guilty pleasures either.
Also, I'm pretty damn happy you didn't really dislike your badonkadonk. That would have thrown me into a rage.
I think you are fabulous, and I mean that from the bottom and top (because the top is usually neglected!) of my heart.
Truly: I heart you!
I'd like to remember you as touching me, as well.
When Margaret Cho came to the Improv in Houston last year, there was a big riot and hundreds of people called the Improv to try to get her off the schedule. She came anyways and rocked da house.
I do the damn same thing with my dishes. First I'll let them sit there. Then, I'll soak them for a day. Then, I'll pour out the water so I don't get gnats. Then, I'll soak them again right before I wash them. Then, I'll put on yellow rubber gloves and go to town. Also, I gag frequently when washing dishes.
It's exhausting, really. It takes me a good week to wash a single load of dishes.
Oh, my tag is up.
Wha..? You didn't tag me..? Uh.. yes you did. You must have been drunk.
oh, i have a meme named after me! thanks spinning girl, you are the very very best :)
i'm a dish soaker too - and sweetie, that word is Badonadonk - oh yeah, and you have touched lives
I beg to differ.
