On The Curb

You may say I’m a dreamer…

March 15, 2008 · 9 Comments

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the smokin’ hot (but no longer smokin’ hot cigarettes) Amy Derby is back in action and doling out the meme. She’s tagged me right between the eyes to share a favorite quote and duly dedicate it to three righteous bloggers who, in turn, will ditto the action. Can you dig it?

I’ll admit I drew a blank initially. I’m one to read something noteworthy, moving, inspiring what have you, but then turn around and forget it five minutes later. Umm, I have a full brain?

Yet, after some mental sorting and shuffling, I remembered one that was on a magnet on my old apartment’s fridge (and i wonder where the heck the magnet is now…did it not survive the move?) It’s a quote from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Yeh, I’m deep like that.

Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said, “one can’t believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why sometimes I believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!”

That’s me in a nutshell…believing impossible things. (yeh, i know, more of the cheese ball…get your crackers and dig in) This way of thinking has afforded me many wonderful experiences. And, it’s a useful reminder when I find myself in a knotted situation that seems to have no solution.

My taggees…Grandy and Wrekehavoc who offered to share their IV’s when I was doing the naked vomit (it’s gone from a band name to a dance…a dance you’ll only want to do alone in the privacy of your own home)…I want to move to Massachusetts and marry both of these gals. ;-) My third dedication goes out to Nylonthread who may be a teensy gal in stature, but her spirit knows no limits. (wow, i’ve just hit cheese ball overload…get a crane in here to heft this mega-ton cheesy goodness)

And, not to be a pest by tagging the tagger, but I want to dedicate it back to Amy, also. :-)

    What is a taggee? And a meme? Is it the same meme as from Richard Dawkin’s Selfish Gene where an idea or thought, instead of a gene, is passed on as a part of you? I’ve got a lot to blogging lingo to learn!

    grandy, cmon over any time you want :)

    and i’ll meme it shortly when my brain returns. i just had some awesome corned beef over at nylon’s — and i don’t even like corned beef — and i’m just in a food coma.

    i’ll be baaaaaaaaaack… (to quote a, uhm, expletive deleted governor in a movie role he had at some point or another.)

    Gringo, I’ll tutor you but I charge by the minute.

    Damn, I missed yet another D.C. blogging gals’ get-together. I bet the corned beef was scrumpdayleediscous especially if Mr. Nylon had anything to do with it.

    No rush on the tags. I still have a couple from last Fall to do. I am the Procrastinator not the Governator.

    Yeh, Grandy, I don’t hide my love for the D.C. gals. They ROCK my world. ;-) Along with you, too, my dear.

    My quote’s there for ya sweets!

    I don’t suffer from the same corned beef coma affliction wreke is experiencing.

    Coolio. I’m on my way over, Grandy.

    Grandy had you highlighted on her sit so I thought that I’d come truckin on over and check your site out.

    I’ll be getting on this quote-meme later!!

    And I take no credit for Wreke’s food coma (other than inviting her fam over)– AJS cooked that meat darned good, that’s what he does. Even Wreke’s little Jools enjoyed his Irish-style dining extravaganza! None of the kids were adventurous enough to try the odder boiled tubers: he added beets, turnips, & parsnips along with the typical taters & carrots.
