Am I truly that boring?

[wayfaringwordhack]

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

Boring. Yeah, right.

You make your own clothes to your own designs. You make swift getaways after committing stealth. You fight off monster centipedes and cockroaches. You are Kitty Rescuer. You have many superpowers but my favourite is The Bright Side - you are superb at seeing this and very few have this power. You excel at impromptu photography. You know damn well that you're anything but boring!

I am not doing the Three Things Meme because I shot my bolt on the Ten Things Meme. I don't think I've done anything recently *g*

And I love "drug out all his toys" even though it would have me foaming at the mouth used in a book ;-)

10 things! You are my hero! Thank goodness someone somewhere trimmed it down to three. :P

And thank you for The Bright Side. That made my day. :D

I will admit to shuddering at 'he drug out all his toys,' but 'snuck' looks proper to me. . .more evidence of how truly confused my inner word monitor must be. ;)

It's amazing what we can get used to when everyone around us is employing the same kind of faux, mishmashed grammar.

Naw, I don't need more evidence, it's a closed and shut case. :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.

And at least you've done something remarkable.

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

I've thought about it and I really, really can't come up with something remarkable, at least not something not done by anyone on my friend's list.

[frigg.livejournal.com]

Or at least not something I would admit to doing, because it's naughty. :p

*lol* Then you can just hint at it. :D

Is that where I got snuck from? I'm always getting corrected on that one.

Family stabbings...how commonplace. ;-)

What did you do in Parc Monceau she asks innocently?

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Oh, nothing much, she answers just as innocently.
