If I get tagged in one more mofo thing

Labels: Eb's Memes / Random RBW ish

I really hate being tagged... Even though I love doing meme's its like a subconscious effort that someone is telling me to do it that just doesn't sit right with me. Not just in blog land but on FB as well. Being tagged in vids and pics doesn't really bother me as much because I have it set so that no one can see pics or vids tagged of me anyway, but I hate being tagged in vids and pics that I'm not in or notes that aren't referencing me. I really don't get the point. Either way, I have been tagged in at least a dozen notes that have been floating around facebook entitled:

25 random things about me

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

So I decided by popular demand... to go ahead and participate. But ya'll know I'm hard-headed so instead of doing a note on FB, I posted it here. So here we go:

1. I'm currently growing my hair out into the Tia Mowry. It was rough the first month, having to perm the back of this mess like every other week so the buzz cut that was growing out didn't look like a baby afro in the back of my head while it was growing into the flip... but I'm almost there. Its crazy though because I know right when it gets the length I want it, it'll be spring and I'm probably going to want to cut it down again.

2. I still haven't gotten a new wall calendar for 2009. My calendar from last year has one of the full year calendars on the last page. I like the calendars with the boxes so I can write things in them and have been sitting here highlighting and writing little notes in the calendar with codes and its a damn shame.

3. I am addicted to Deal or No Deal. Seriously, every time it comes on, no matter what I have going on I will stop and watch. You would think that all the people that go on the show would be smart enough to take the first deal that's given. That is always the biggest deal. If I ever go on that show, I'm taking the first deal. Or maybe they have more people like that who do but can't air them because it doesn't fill up a 30minute show.

4. I really want to have a R-O-C to N-Y-C party at my crib but I'm broke. Its crazy how many people from my hometown of Rochester, NY Hhhhoooolllllaaa live in NYC. I always run into them crazy out and about and ask them if they know that such and such and such live here too and they never know. So I would love to get everyone together from back home for one night so we can all reconnect.

5. I have a shot glass collection.Shot glasses from places I've visited and special events I've attended like Super Bowls. I have a lot more spaces to fill in so that means I have a lot more places to visit and have a drink at in my lifetime...lol.

6. I am a lot more lenient with male friends than I am with female friends. A guy can do 5 things wrong but if he comes back and does one thing right I sort of dismiss the 5 prior things. As a result I have male friends I have known all my life but usually filter out female friends every couple years with the exception of the bestie. I don't know, blame it on my daddy. Growing up he would do one of the 5 things he said he was going to do and because he did that one I was the happiest little girl around completely forgetting about the other 4 things he said he would do that didn't. But for some reason with females I have a short fuse. You do one thing and I 'm like OK I wont be hanging with that chick anymore. I will cut a female off in a minute without even thinking twice, but men for some reason, I never let go that easy, with male friends, and men that are a little more than that. I really need to work on that because it would save so much time and anguish.

7. My little brother that's in Iraq... gets to come home for 2 weeks the last week in February.Don't know if I'm going to be able to make the trip home to see him though. One of the weeks he's spending in Ohio to visit my sister and my youngest brother. He has to go back for 6 more months after that, and then he doesn't have to go over there anymore.

8. This may be a little TMI but hey I got 25 things to fill up here. I only wash my underwear like every 2-3 months. I have so many pair that I could actually probably go 4 months without washing any. The perks of having a mom that works at Victoria's Secret. Its really starting to get out of control because now every couple months I throw underwear away because I don't have any room for them in my lingerie stand. And for all the perves out there, no I'm not posting a pic of my underwear drawer. Even though it is quite cute the way I fold and organize them...lol.

9. I've always wanted to do spoken word but I don't have the guts to get in front of a crowd and recite a poem because I swear if I didn't get snaps afterward I would be the mad rapper...lol. I could really see myself being as uncomfortable as Nina Mosley was in Love Jones though and not killing it with groove and emotion like they do on Def Poets, and that's the real reason why I've never got the urge to do it.

10. This freelancing/consulting mess is really starting to break my spirit a bit. I'm not used to being broke all the time, stalking the mailbox for the next check, and stalking the internet for the next gig. I am in dire need of a regular 9-5. The economy is too jacked up so companies aren't looking for outside sources to fulfill their needs. So don't be surprised if you see Eb in the Harlem Mickey D's flipping burgers. Just wave and I'll wink. Maybe slip a free cookie in your bag.

11. I want a Wii Fit to go with my Wii that I haven't touched in months. I also need to get some more games because I am tired of the 4 measley games that I have.

12. I really, really really really really really hate when people hit me on FB, myspace, email, text, whatever... to tell me to call them. Ugh... I don't get it. That time it took for you to do all of that logging in and whatever to search for me and whatnot, you could have already dialed my number. I never call them either. If its important enough you will pick up the damn phone. I also hate when people leave me a voice message telling me to call them. Why the heck did you need to leave a VM to tell me that... say WTH you want dang! I don't return those VM's either.

13. I have 3 garbage bags of clothes that I planned on taking to the Battered Women's Shelter in the Fall and they are still sitting in my house. Want to know why, because I've called the shelter several times and left several messages as to what the process is of donating clothes and if they have a pick up system and no one has returned any of my calls and the receptionist doesn't know bo from diddly. Ugh.. its so frustrating.

14. I really really want to go to the Sports Museum in Manhattan but kinda want to go with a date... and since my dating life is a masterpiece of minimalism it doesn't look like I will be going anytime soon.

15. I've been in BK more times in this month than I have been since I lived in NY. All ya'll BK winches ain't gonna have me trucking all the way to BK for a while after this Friday. Ya'll done got enough of Eb in the BK until the summer when free concerts come back.

16. Part of me has fallen into this retarded complex that you can't wear a dress twice like I'm a celebrity which I don't understand why since I don't have the celebrity stylist that brings in all the free ish for me to wear, or the celebrity wallet to go buy some fly ish. I was invited to this huge black tie athlete fundraiser in February and I'm like what should I wear, the dress I wore to the ESPN the Mag 10th Anniversary party last year or the dress I wore to the Espy's in 2007. Then I was like hell to the nawl because what if one of the athletes that were at one of those events is at this event and be like, damn she wear that dress everywhere, even though I've only wore them once. I got a feeling I'm going to be broke looking for a new dress.

17. Remember that "make me feel good" scene in Monster's Ball. Well I have a playlist by that name in my ipod. Haven't had to whip it out in a minute though.


18. I got Lasik surgery in August 2007 and still have contact solution and drops in my cabinet like I'll ever have to use them again.


19. I will flirt all day with a dude I don't really want, but will clam up when it comes to one I'm really crushing on.


20. My HS reunion is this year and these fools are trying to do too much. They started the planning January of last year and still no concrete details. I swear. First it was some everyone meet in Rochester and then take a bus trip down to NYC. I was like fools I already live in NYC why would I fly up there to take a us back down will ya'll fools most of which I can't stand anyway. Then they were trying to do a trip to the casino in Niagara Falls. OMG... just rent out a damn banquet hall in the ROC and have a black tie gala. Black folks always gotta be so difficult.


21. My mom is trying to plan a family reunion. Why did she schedule it for the weekend after 4th of July when 4th of July is on a Saturday and she could have just done it then. She done lost her mind if she think I'm coming home for that. I already know all the family that I need to know anyway so there ain't really anyone I care to reunite with. My mom always trying to do extra stuff at inconvenient times.


22. I lie about how many sexual partners I've had. And no its not because I've been around the block a whole bunch of times its just that I don't feel a couple of them are worthy of being counted. Either it was a one night stand or they didn't put it down. Can't waste a number on fools like that. They really should have to wear a sign on their forehead that reads "I don't know how to work my manpart" so that we don't even waste our time giving them the chance.


23. I really want to donate my eggs to a family that may be in need since I'm not particularly using mine at the moment, but am scared as hell of the process. You have to go threw all this mess and paperwork and I heard it hurts. Plus part of me feels like they may go up in there and jack some stuff up and when I need my eggs they won't work.


24. All I drink in my crib is Vitamin Water. As much money as I spend with them I need to get some stock or something. Literally if you ever come to my crib that is all you will ever see in the fridge. Every blue moon I'll have some milk and OJ but usually its just jugs and jugs and jugs of Vitamin Water. Actually sometimes I keep some lemonade or hawaiian punch in there just so when I have company I don't have to share my Vitamin Water ( I know that's so stank ain't it.) My fav flavors are Focus, Revive (which a dude I know that works at VW said is the best thing in the world to take when you are hungover. That it has more potassium than 3 bananas and can revive any dehydration faster than any other drink), B-Relaxed, and XXX.



25. Even though I'm feisty as hell outside the bedroom... I'm so not in the bedroom. I'm very calm and collected and reserved but part of me wants to be a freak sometimes, but if I'm sober, I don't have it in me. Sober, I want to be dominated, I want him to show me that he's a man, pick me up, fling me around, smack it...flip it... and rub it down... Oohhhh yyessss!!! Men I've been intimate with for long stints of time who've had the pleasure of having both sober and tipsy Eb, always remind me how different it is when I'm a little tipsy. I wish I could be that girl without the alcohol.





~Damn that was hard coming up with all that mess off the dome. Feel free to participate anyone that feels compelled.
