Memeing ’till the cows come home.

So Karen totally tagged me with this meme, and because I’m polite I thought I’d totally go with the flow and do it too.

Prepare to wish you’d never clicked onto my blog.  And, too, prepare to learn things about me which you really don’t care about.


1. Name someone with the same birthday as you.

No idea.  I think Sandra Bullock (whom I actually LIKE in films, fyi — Miss Congeniality FTW!) is on the same as mine.  Let’s google it, yeah?

Wow.  Apparently, my birthday holds the birth of a lot of C-List people.  Thankfully, the awesome Hilary Duff and I were born on the same day.

DUDE!  Frankie Jonas and I were born on the same day, too.   Claim to fame secured.

2. Where was your first kiss?

My bedroom. On my lips.  Honestly?  It sucked.

3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else’s property?

Well, not exactly.  When I was, hmm, 9(?) I wrote “I HATE YOU” on my neighbour’s gate, but that’s only because her two sons came around and intimidated me in my front garden.

4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?

Oui oui.  This girl and I were talking and this other girl came up behind me and pushed me right into her.  Like, the girl I was talking to’s glasses and my face totally didn’t make friends.  So I turned around and gave her stomach one punch.  She then said she was fine, then went and tattled on me, and then she never came to the meeting we were supposed to have to resolve it.  She seemed to reform quite a lot after that.  And she kinda deserved it — she was one of those endlessly annoying girls.  Endlessly.

5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?

Not really.  I mean, in primary school we have to sing in shows and stuff, but I’ve never ever had to sing solo, so, uhm, no?

6. What’s the first thing you notice about your preferred sex?

Typically their face (go figure).  But, honestly?  Either their hair or their upper chest.  I like pecs.  Sue me.

7. What really turns you off?

People who don’t keep themselves hygienic.  I mean, sweat is fine.  I have no real problem with that — especially during sexual stuff.  But, like, if you don’t wash a part of yourself?  You don’t brush your teeth?  You don’t shower on a regular basis?

Also, I’m REALLY not fond of people who don’t, like, ‘own’ themselves.

8. What do you order at Starbucks?

I don’t ever ever ever go to Starbucks.  I don’t like it.  Huge corporations make me quite angry.

9. What is your biggest mistake?

Not listening to my goshdarn intuition.  Again and again and again.

10. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?

A few times, but that was a long time ago and I was stupid.  And also?  Hurting thyself is PAINFUL DUDES.  Totally not worth the emotional outlet.

11. Say something totally random about yourself.

I absolutely cannot stand coldness EXCEPT when I’m warm in bed.  Or warm in bed snuggling with MommyMelee’s husband a lovely male.  :]

12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?

Indeed they have!  Someone once said — wait no, I actually STILL get this — that I look a bit like Eric McCormack.  You know?  From Will & Grace?  It’s when I have my big hair on.  I don’t really agree.

Also?  Worryingly, I used to have a mega crush on him.

13. Do you still watch kiddie movies or TV shows?

Well, I watch multi-purpose kiddie movies like Up and Wall-E, but, like, not UBER kiddie movies.  And never children’s TV shows.

14. Did you have braces?

Nope!  My dentist told me that my teeth would form naturally into a straight position.  He was right.  Woot.

15. Are you comfortable with your height?

Meh.  Give me 1.5″ to bring me just over 6 foot and I’ll be able to say yes to this question.  Though, well, I am COMFORTABLE with my height.  I just want to be a little bit taller.  So, uhm, yeah.

16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you?

Totally wrote me a letter about how he felt about me and was going to post it to me a few days before my stressful day and so I’d get it on the day when I was UBER stressed.  Luckily, I found it and ruined his plans.  Why is that good?  Because I wanted to break up with him.  Snarf.

17. When do you know its love?

When the other person recognizes (and almost likes) the fact that I’m going to ENDLESSLY angst over the question having “its” instead of “it’s”.

18. Do you speak any other languages?

Sure do!  I can splurge tiny bits of German, French, Japanese, Mandarin and Portuguese at you.  I can also make a pretty good job with Spanish — thankfully, too, as I’ve been learning it for over 5 years now.

19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?

I’m happy with my current state of pale, thank you very much.

20. What magazines do you read?

Uhm, when I’m in a resilient mood, the Amnesty International magazine.  And sometimes Eureka!  A lot of the time, though, I just read all of the hilarious junk that comes with the newspapers these days.  A lot of it is so poorly constructed (from a copywriter’s POV) that it’s just one giggletron after another.

21. Have you ever ridden in a limo?

Nope.  And I’m not all that keen to, either.

22. Has anyone you were really close to passed away?

I assume this question is to do with people, so very thankfully, I can say no.  Though the two funerals I’ve been to, heh, weren’t all that delicious.

23. Do you watch MTV?

Hell.  No.

24. What’s something that really annoys you?

People that act curt and affronted when the person who they’re dealing with have done nothing to cause such a response.  It’s rude.

Also, 1and1 internet.  Be warned.

25. What’s something you really like?

Music.  Grapes.  Money.  Idealism.  The idyllic future that Star Trek paints.  The idea that there’s something more.  Hope.  Space (and Space Travel).  Talking.  Laughter.

26. Do you like Michael Jackson?

Meh.  Not really.  I didn’t really have that specific an opinion before his death, and I don’t have one now.  Though I think it’s endlessly wrong to joke upon another person when they’re dead.

27. Can you dance?

No.  Though I can pull off a mean speedwalk, if it’s any help.

28. What’s the latest you have ever stayed up?

This one time we were going from Canada back to the UK and we set off in the afternoon and got to England at about the afternoon, and I got NO sleep WHATSOEVER on the plane.  The two days LITERALLY felt like one.  As if only moments ago we’d stopped at a Canadian rest stop and yet moments later we were pulling into a petrol station in the UK.  It was WEIRD.  But yeah.  A long time.

29. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?

Yeah.  And everyone was giving my mom attention when I was the one coming out of her vagina.  Seriously.  Not cool, doctors.

30. Do you actually read these when other people fill them out?

Most of the time — even if it’s just to get a feel for the person.  They’re endlessly helpful to help build up profiles on people.  Not that I, uhm, do that to anyone.  Ever.

31. Tag 5 people!

No, YOU tag five people.  But fine.  I tag…

Nic - from My Bottle’s Up.

Maria - from MommyMelee (c’mon gurl!  I want information!)

MommyGeek - from MommyGeekology (name not provided for special reasons)

Diane - from Mrs Dashoff.

Chibi- from Chibi Struggles.


See?  Wasn’t so bad, was it?

I did it.

I’m not here to rant and rant and rant (unlike my usual self).  Oh no: I’m going to be doing that in a little while when my brain has stopped shooting pain into my skull — or vice versa.

Simply, I just want to tell you that I did it.  Well, we did it.  MommyGeekology and I.  But it’s done.  And it’s here.  www.TheKingdomofMatt.com is finally alive.  It’s going to need work, of course.  With a bit of love and appreciation, however, I’m sure we can get this baby off the ground.

Though getting babies off the ground, thinking about it, doesn’t really make sense.

But anywhere.  It’s here.  It’s not queer, as it’s inanimate.  Get used to it.
