meme meme meme meme meme

I like memes, provided they are not too long. Memes should be brief and pointed, or pointless. They are more fun that way. Not unlike Alan's game of Pinging. Anyhow, I kept forgetting to write this meme down. Since I'm trapped at work until well after 1am I might as well play some ping and catch memes in glass jars.

My journal is called _____ because _____.

Only This Life, because it is the truth after all. One of my greatest frustrations is that I have only this life to experience, and I want so much more. It would be easier if I believed in reincarnation, but I don't. It also hearkens to a line scribbled on the wall in Metro I saw in 2000, just before Christmas. Melynda and I went to see a really bad vampire movie and then out for coffee where I found myself staring at a smiley face with fangs and the line "I am only what I am at this moment" written with a sharpie. It was painted over months later.

My subtitle is _____ because _____.

"all we are is all so far" is a line from an Our Lady Peace song. I like that band, perhaps more than any other rock band I've heard in the past ten years. If I wanted to be more philosophical about it, I could say that line also reflects my feelings on our mecurial natures, and that strangely compelling wall scribble mentioned above. I can't get that damned thing out of my head.

My friends page is called _____ because _____.

Voices in the Wired, which is a reference to the anime series Lain. If you have not seen it, you should immediately rectify your grave mistake. It's a beautiful piece of work. The Wired is what the internet (more or less) is called in the story.

My username is ____ because _____.

My user name has been Tsarina since about the time I started college. I've stuck with it because it reflects my Slavophile tendencies and my wild elitism. What can I say, I like the aristocracy.

And this all matters to you because _____.

Because I like memes, and information. Why else?

Brett is sick, so no 5am gym. I could have slacked, but I went at 2am instead. It's utterly empty then! I like it. Sort of weird and empty and I watch Fox on the television bank hanging over the cross training machines. I read Vanity Fair and biked five more miles.

Alan did laundry and dishes while I was gone. I am finally having my virtuous post work-out cigarette. Damn the smoothie counter for being closed. I still want my smoothie.

There is nothing on at 4am worth watching. I've settled on CNN as the lesser evil, mostly because they had pictures of the oil refinery fire in Texas tonight. However I'm currently watching a news report on EMI which has cut thousands of jobs and artists apparently in an effort to boost their stock. How absurd.

I was massively disappointed in Dunne's column on Martha Stewart in the April issue of Vanity Fair.

Few things are as pleasurable as rolling out of bed and going straight to the pool. It's one of the things that makes working nights bearable. Perfect skies, a temperature in the mid 80s, and a pool all to myself. I pretend I'm a much wealthier person in my head while I float around. I'll miss this thing when I transfer to the day shift.

Next week the office starts closing at midnight, and we'll be starting our shifts at 3pm. Fortunately there is a seat for me in Colorado, though I'll have some three hour phone training session to endure. It's the only thing that makes me nervous. I hate talking on the phone. It took me months before I was able to answer my own cell phone without cringing. I hardly ever call anyone, though I am getting better.
