The fabulous Femina Formosa tagged my ass with a meme, so sit back and enjoy. Here’s a little bit about Hänni.
Ten years ago I was starting my sophomore year of high school. Even though I wasn’t eligible, I desperately wanted to attend to the Senior Prom. My bigot principal, however, wouldn’t allow me to go with my friends, and I had to find a male date. I tricked some schmuck from my choir class into taking me. He showed up at my door wearing a white tuxedo with tails. He also had a flaming pink bowtie. His friend, already a grad, was with him wearing the same white tuxedo, but he had a mint green bowtie. They looked like the ambiguously gay duo. This should’ve been my first clue to stay at home that night, but I didn’t, and consequently I suffered. Instead of hanging out with my friends, I spent the entire night slow dancing with a little, 18 year-old-man and his bald spot. He tap danced to Gangster’s Paradise. After the prom I crushed my souvenir glass, started wearing shirts that said things like “Girls Kick Ass,” and then swore off guys for several years.
Five years ago I was starting my sophomore year of college at Virginia Tech. I had just come off a stint working the Worst. Job. Ever. as phone jockey for a seafood transport company. In contrast, the previous summer I had the Best. Job. Ever. working as an intern in the United States senate. At the end of that pre-freshman summer my then-boyfriend, CFTP, surprised me by stealing his dad’s car to take me on a joyride that spanned Seattle to San Francisco and back.
One year ago Angelface and I were newly married. We were boarding up our apartment to defend against our second hurricane. Unbeknownst to us, this little routine is something we had to repeat two more times last year!

Five people to pass this on to
Hino “deez nutz” Banzon – because he loves this kind of crap
Violette Margarita Conchita Torrez Guadeloupe – because I want her attention (and for her to post Other People’s Money pics!)
Jonathan – because he is a man of mystery whose meme we’d like revealed
Phineahs Gray – because you too are a man of mystery
SORM – because there’s a “favorite toys” section and I know you are dying to brag about your fancy powerbook
I have enjoyed playing this game of virtual tag, but must now get ready for work. Til next, adieu!














Hanni! Gwen leaked your pretty new website to me…great to read your rantings again, hope you guys are doing well…everything is “the same” here in the ‘Burg…I know you don’t miss those conference days! Julie
Julie I miss you! I *do* love conferences. That was actually also my Best. Job. Ever, but didn’t fit in this meme’s pretty litttle 5 year 10 year template. Good to know you read my rantings!
well, not really rantings, but your life is so much more colorful than the rest of us…I searched through, fond memories of you getting egg-d on the golf cart, those were the days…email me sometime! Julie
Right on re: the thong issue!
I did not even THINK about kitchen toys! Good call! Esp. with the cuisinart food processor. Those things kick ass.
I use the food processor at least twice a week – it’s the best.
