I like this meme so I'm following along.
Countdown Meme
10 Things to say to 10 People
1.) I miss you.
2.) Shut the fuck up. The world is not only about you. There are billions of other people out there. Also - I don't give a shit about any of your passive aggressive attempts to make yourself appear the victim more.
3.) I loathe you but, sometimes, I think that's a good thing because your idiocy and refusal to learn anything other than the bare minimum is what is inspiring me to go back to school.
4.) Every time I go to email you, I write it and then stop because, really, if you missed me half as much as I miss you, you'd initiate contact.
5.) You really surprised the fuck out of me this last summer. I thought you didn't even remember me. It made my day.
6.) I know I annoy you, it's rather obvious.
7.) Get the fuck outta my fandoms. Srsly.
8.) I want to be you, sometimes.
9.) I love you enough to want you to be happy. I don't think I could make you happy so I'm glad that you have someone else. I'm happy being around you.
10.) You always have it together. How the hell do you do that?
9 Things About Me
1.) I constantly touch my face. I have no idea why I do it but I'm obsessive about it.
2.) I'm a control freak. I cannot delegate to save my life.
3.) I groom people (like, pick stray hairs off their clothes or fix their tags) but I cannot stand to be touched. Srsly, don't touch me. Don't hug me. It freaks me out.
4.) I haven't written a check in 2 years. I don't even know where my checkbook is or if I have any checks left. I also don't bother to balance my checking account. It's what the app is for on my phone.
5.) In the car, and elsewhere, I talk to myself all the time. I talk out dialogue issues in fic. I read an article that Calista Flockhart does the same thing but covers by holding up her phone like she's talking to someone. I've done the same ever since.
6.) I have the memory retention of a goldfish on crack for important dates and meetings. I cannot remember a meeting at 9am or 1pm to save my life. But I remember conversations from 15 years ago almost verbatim. And it's almost every conversation.
7.) I dance to Irish music every chance I get. I can't help myself.
8.) I have no sense of humour about 4 things: My driving, my low-flinch factor, insects, blood. All of these are off-limits for teasing. I immediately clam up and get really pissed off.
9.) It's when I get quiet that you can tell I'm really fucking pissed. If I'm still talking to you, you're all right.
8 Ways to Win My Heart
1.) Bring me white chocolate. Preferably with peanut butter or strawberries.
2.) Scratch my head. Not rub it or pet it or groom me. Scratch with your nails but don't let your hand rest on my head.
3.) Be Honest. If I look fat in something, tell me.
4.) Play with my dogs.
5.) Cook something I like (and I'm a picky jerk).
6.) Volunteer with me.
7.) Have an education whether documented with a piece of paper or not.
8.) Be sure of yourself and your place in the world.
7 Things that Cross my Mind A Lot
1.) I better write that down.
2.) Oh fuck you.
3.) Jesus God, get out of the motehrfucking left lane! It isn't a driving lane FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
4.) Yeah, I'll get right on that, just after I achieve world peace.
5.) My dogs are awesome.
6.) HOMG HOMG HOMG
7.) What am I doing?
6 things I do before I go to sleep
1.) I play at least a game of Soduku. My brain can't shut down until I do it.
2.) Check my email.
3.) Check my farm on Papaya Farm.
4.) Pet whatever dog is sleeping with me.
5.) Flop onto my stomach.
6.) In the winter: take my right sock off but leave the left one on.
Five Places I want to Visit
1.) Ireland
2.) Australia/New Zealand
3.) France
4.) Brazil
5.) The house I grew up in.
Four Things I'm wearing right now
1.) My left sock.
2.) Tank top
3.) Knickers
4.) Ratty, paint-splattered sweatshirt from NASA that I got when I was 14.
Three Bands I listen to often
1.) The Editors (Duh)
2.) Nico Vega
3.) Mostly Bears
Two Things I want to do before I die
1.) Travel around the world.
2.) Have a healthy relationship
One Confession
1.) The more I work, the more I hate people. I would gladly live with just my dogs forever and ever amen.

Date: 2010-01-09 09:34 pm (UTC)I usually have to do something like this too.
Also, I miss my dogs sleeping with me, especially in the wintertime - they make the best bed warmers ever!

Date: 2010-01-09 10:51 pm (UTC)I love this meme, I am glad you did it! Your #3 thing that crosses your mind is something MrUgly thinks/says often also.
The taking off your right sock thing made me laugh. I do that sometimes but when I am already asleep so I wake up and go "where the hell is my other sock?"

Date: 2010-01-10 01:02 am (UTC)I know this isn't for me, nor do I know the context but I have this thing where get awkward about contacting people I've fallen out of touch with and I do the same thing. Now I can't help but wonder if maybe my other person is doing the same thing. >.>
It's when I get quiet that you can tell I'm really fucking pissed. If I'm still talking to you, you're all right.
This is my DH. In college I used to know when he was about to deck someone because he stopped talking. This is a valuable tool to avoid crisis.
In the winter: take my right sock off but leave the left one on.
So random. ;) This is why I love this meme.

Date: 2010-01-10 02:50 pm (UTC)Of course, what's troubling about a meme such as this one is that there's so much in it that I kind of flail helplessly when it comes to a meaningful response.
So instead, I'll just say that I adore you, and I'm glad you're my friend, in spite of your odd-socked freakishness ;)
*squishes tight*
Hope 2010 is awesome to you!

Date: 2010-01-15 03:38 pm (UTC)It's like an airconditioning system or something. IDEK. It just bothers me to have a sock on that foot. I'm fine with the other one being trapped in cloth but can't stand my poor right foot to be trapped in a cloth prison.

Date: 2010-01-15 03:40 pm (UTC)I cannot stand to have that poor foot trapped in a sock. If I try to sleep in socks, I will lay there and obsess about the damned thing.
