Am I truly that boring?
I wanted to do the three things meme that is floating about, but I can't think of anything to say. Perhaps I'm under a mistaken assumption that my life is fairly interesting, or maybe my memory is playing me foul. In any case, if I admit to, say, stabbing my older sister in the hand with a fork when she wouldn't share her apple with me*, then friggwill justifiably use it as evidence that I'm the evil pea. If I were to admit to taking a moment to try steal a baby guinea fowl for my little sister while already fleeing the scene of another crime, then my flist will truly start to wonder about my morality. And if I talk about that night in Paris when mana_triniand I snuck** into Parc Monceau...ahem, well, let's not go into any more detail about that, shall we? "Violent criminal" is enough of a label for me...
* It happened like this: She was eating an apple on a fork. I asked for a bite. She said no. I asked again. She said yes but took the apple off the fork. I was very small and wanted to emulate my big sis, so I insisted she put it back on the fork and let me eat it like her. She refused. I took the fork, "and," she says, doing her best Paul Harvey imitation, "now you know the beginning of the story."
**I know some people are adamant about using "sneaked" instead, but what can I say? I'm from the Southwest (USA), and that's how we say it chez moi. That and "drug" instead of "dragged," as in "he drug out all his toys." :P

And at least you've done something remarkable. I'm not doing the meme, because I'm just plain boring, having done nothing outstandingly good, witty, heroic or even evil.

Nah, planting the fork in my sister's hand didn't leave any marks. ;)
Seriously though, you should challenge yourself to do the meme because being The Boring Pea might be worse than being The Evil Pea. :D
