I was tagged, so you must suffer

Rules and Regulations Since I’m not big on Rules and Regulations, I’ve decided to change this part to “Someone Long Ago Came Up With These Bossy Instructions.”

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.

B) Tag eight people. Don’t refuse to do that. Don’t tag who tagged you.

And we’re off.

At Mary’s suggestion

I am more than happy to do the following:

Copy this sentence into your LiveJournal if you’re in a heterosexual marriage, and you don’t want it “protected” by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.

I have been waiting for…(looking at calendar and counting)…seventeen years for anyone to offer me a rational explanation for how same-gender marriage hurts marriage. So far: nothing.

New Twist on an Old Meme

If you comment, I’ll put an adjective that I think describes you into flickr or google and come up with an image for you. Will you be able to guess the adjective? Probably not. But you’ll have a picture that’s ALL ABOUT YOU.

ETA: This is fun! If anyone stumbles here and finds I’ve used images without permission, I will happily remove them. It’s just that giving photo credits could lead my victims commenters to the descriptors I used–and that’s my secret!

That eight things meme again

I was tagged by mallory_blog, and I figure it’s been long enough that I can think of some new stuff.

RULES:
* 1. Post these rules.
* 2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journals.
* 3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people
* 4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
* 5. No tag-backs

1. The scar on my forehead was the end result of a series of mishaps that began with a cat who had worms.
2. I know people’s secrets that I’ve never told anyone. I won’t use them in my fiction, either.
3. My sister accidentally knocked out my two front baby teeth when I was seven.
4. I repaid her a couple of years later by throwing up watermelon in the middle of the night in the bed we shared.
5. I suspect I will never finish those three volumes of Proust.
6. I sent two postcards to Post Secret. I didn’t feel better afterward.
7. I’m convinced that whenever I walk into my living room, a dog will die on whatever show Tom is watching.
