Perfection May 13, 2009
Posted by brandy in I like annoying people by talking about how much i like comic sans, and now you might know everything, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, i can't believe i have a football tag, i love fragment sentences, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it's okay- you can skim this one, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, lists, man I'm such a girl, no i haven't gotten laid, oh look! i have opinions., shoes, sigh. i've made a tag for THE HILLS., so egan will LOVE this, wasting time, what i found when i went looking, when i say it anyway, you're skimming this one.trackback
Roughly a zillion years ago, this lovely (at least I’m 99.9% positive it was you!) posted this meme. And when I say ‘a zillion years’ ago, I’m serious. There’s a good chance I read the meme while wearing a Mondetta sweatshirt (I had ‘Australia”), lock up jeans and a snap bracelet. Anyway, I read it- and like a good blogger I promptly copied and pasted it, thinking it was a meme I would love to do sometimes. Because I adore memes. I also adore Mandy Moore and comic sans font. And no, I’m not joking about ANY OF THAT.
- The perfect outfit: Jeans, adorable shirt and the pink and white shoes from the previous post. Who cares if they hurt? They make me tall. And my sense of perfection has me four inches taller.
- The perfect meal: Man I love food questions. Seriously. I read the first part of this question and then spent the next 10 minutes in a food daydream reminiscing over all the meals I’ve ever had and almost orgasmed thinking about a hamburger I once had at Knott’s Berry Farm. I do love a lot of different foods but today my perfect meal would be a beer, a barbecued hot dog (with relish) and potato salad. Can you tell I’m ready for summer?
- The perfect hangover cure: Greasy breakfast food, a tylenol and the warm embrace of my bed.
- The perfect road trip: The one I took last weekend. Four hours in the car with two of best friends. We talked about the perfect term for boobs, malaria and the fact that I speak like I’m a 15 year old boy. Oh, and I took videos of our bubblegum chewing competition.
- The perfect facial feature: I’m throwing out the cliche and going with a smile.
- The perfect drink: Depends on my mood. But my top 3? 1) Cold milk 2) Cold beer 3) Raspberry lemonade.
- The perfect song: Little Bit of Feel Good by Jamie Lidell. It makes me dance inappropriately. Or Anna Begins by Counting Crows. I adore that song.
- The perfect sign of affection: Reminding me that The Hills is on. Seriously. A dude capable of remembering when a show is on that he hates but reminds me of it because he knows I like it? That’s good stuff.
- The perfect afternoon: Patio with friends, slurping slushy drinks and talking about nothing that matters.
- The perfect vacation: Europe when I was 23. Backpacking, drinking cheap wine, falling asleep on the beach cuddled up to a charming American student studying in Rome… WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE?
- The perfect invention: Superglue OR my hair straightener
- The perfect type of wedding: One that takes place somewhere other than here. Less people = less pressure.
- The perfect album: The Very Best of Cat Stevens. TRUST ME
- The perfect accent: When it comes to loving accents- I’m an equal opportunity girl. I love them all.
- The perfect date: Bowling. It’s a perfect opportunity to drink beer and test out the trash talking. Plus you get a legitimate reason to stare at your dates ass. Yes, I’ve given this a lot of thought.
- The perfect weather: 26 degrees Celsius, clear skies. (Oh look! Proof I really am Canadian. No Fahrenheit talk for me)
- The perfect party: Anything with good friends, a theme, a keg and men who think I’m adorable.
- The perfect sport: Football
- The perfect thing to say: “I adore the way you: ____________ ” (insert anything that you never previously realized you did or ever thought was adorable. Examples: scrunching your nose while reading the paper, snoring, and/or clap your hands when you get excited).
- The perfect day of the week: Thursday. It has the excitement of a Friday but with better television programming.
#1) You summed up my love for Thursday perfectly.
#2) I will probably steal this
#3) I adore the fact that you video taped a bubble gum blowing contest.
#4) I’m insanely jealous you went on a road trip that included a bubble gum blowing contest.
#5) It’s posts like these that make me wish you lived right around the corner.
It’s comments like this that make me wish I lived right around your corner too!
so if i did this meme it would basically look like i copied and pasted yours directly. we share pretty much exactly the same answers.
i heart you and i miss you and i will always remind you of the hills. and i adore the way you make me smile, on the regular.
Except I suspect you would pick baseball instead of football? I think of you whenever the Sox players on my fantasy baseball team do well. Wow. That might be the dorkiest sentence ever typed.
I need to find some of that 26 C weather!! We’re 8 C today with driving rain…. I would at least like an approximation of spring.
At least there’s Thursday to look forward to!
Dude, it SNOWED yesterday. Damn you Canada. At least I know you are suffering with cooler temps with me!
So 26 degrees celsius is like 38F, right?
or does Canada actually get warm? I dont know…
It equals 78F funny guy. Now go listen to some Taylor Swift.
I can see why you stole this. I might have to too! I agree with so many of your answers. And I too adore Mandy Moore and Comic Sans. Hee hee.
Yes! Another comic sans lover. I feel like we need to stick together. The haters are violent.
“Anna Begins” AND Cat Stevens.
I am finding it increasingly difficult to keep you classified as my “arch enemy.”
You know what I feel about ‘arch enemy’ status.
Thursday TV IS the best.
Agreed. Sigh. I’m so back on the Grey’s Anatomy bandwagon. I hate myself for falling back into the wicked web of a medical drama where everyone looks stunning and no one ever punches Meredith for being the most annoying human ever.
Hahaha that was awesome. I may steal it as well!
Do it. Stealing shows you care.
Thursday IS the best day. I like it because Friday IS a weekend day, even if I have to work, so once I get to Friday, my weekend’s already ticking down.
That makes sense. I like Thursdays because I’m one of those people who view Sunday as my weekend already being over and there’s no point in doing anything fun on Sundays because Monday is tomorrow and I’m too depressed. I know. I’m a weirdo.
Awesome idea. I might copy it too.
I’m all for stealing.
I foresee many people stealing this and I foresee myself througoughly enjoying reading each one as much as I enjoyed reading this one.
I foresee myself using the word ‘foresee’ a lot after reading your comment.
My feelings about Thursday exactly! And yes, I agree that love is reminding me when Survivor is on, even if he has to leave the room while I watch it.
You need to keep that man.
Thursday DEFINITELY has better programming.
Now I have to go figure out how warm 26 degrees Celsius is. Damn American education….
78F, I broke down and did the conversion. Man, we share a border, why don’t we just share the genius that is Celsius?
I’m tagging myself, hope you don’t mind. (I’m good people, I swear.)
Also, I’m totally with you on Mandy Moore.
I could tell you were good people- anyone who likes Mandy has to be!
Dude, I am SO taking you to Knott’s the next time you come out my way.
Extra points if you enjoy rollercoasters.
I agree with Thursday having a better TV line up, but there’s also the downside of it NOT being Friday.
True. Fridays just seem like.. attention whores to me though. Everyone talks about FRIDAY like it’s AWESOME. Which, I guess it is, but Thursday is awesome too- just a subtle type of awesome.
I’m so stealing this. One of the better meme’s I’ve seen that won’t piss people off
I didn’t piss anyone off with this meme? Damn. I need to try harder next time….
I can never do one of your meme’s because I will just want to steal all your answers!
Ha! That’s funny. I felt that way when I read allthewine’s answers!
your perfect sign of affection is oh so true. whenever matt reminds me that one of my shows is on i just say “awww you remembered! are you actually going to watch it with me?” and then i usually get something like “hell no!”. oh true love.
Isn’t that the nicest?!
” I’m waiting for my brother to tell me what he’s already told everyone else. ” did he?
Nope.
I’m liking bowling as the perfect date idea. Seeing the guy’s butt in action would be awesome. And you’re right. This is where the you can take the measure of the man in trash talk. Of course, I would probably fail, cussing like a sailor and of course, my butt big as a battleship. Or at least, that’s how it feels. Maybe I better rethink the bowling thing from the guy’s perspective…
Cussing like a sailor equals failing? Oh I am in trouble….
can i steal it? pretty please?
Greasy breakfast food is indeed the perfect hangover food, with pancakes please
Absolutely! I give you permission to steal what I stole.
Good answers, although some of them are completely wrong.
Next time tell me what you really think.
I stole this. Thanks!
Awesome!
we could totally hang out…
but favorite meal? I thought you were off the beer.
I’m SUPPOSED to be off beer but it’s a saucy minx that brings me back all the time. I try to have it once at month at the very most. It makes my insides cry but it’s so delicious!
I so agree with the affection bit, I think its awfully sweet when my boy also reminds me that ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is on, or when he sees some documentary about some inane stuff, that he KNOWS I will love (and he wont).
Nice blog!
