Ziggy Stardust

Ziggy played guitar
he could lick 'em by smiling
there goes the band, man


I was recently memed by Book Calendar to list six unspectacular facts about myself and then meme six other bloggers. So here's my unspectacular list (please don't judge me too harshly):

1. I've never read Milton's Paradise Lost.
2. I only eat vegetarian sushi because I don't like fish.
3. I can play a song or an album over and over and over again without getting sick of it. Ditto movies.
4. It annoys me that I use the word "just" as emphasis more than necessary.
5. I know I should restrict the number of labels in my tag cloud for the sake of space efficiency, but I like the way it looks.
6. I've seen relatively few foreign films, but I'm trying to fix that.

I pass this meme on to Paul of Paul Burman, JJ of Nature Shows and Dreams, Dorlana of Supernatural Fairy Tales, Duane of Shakespeare Geek, Steph of Watch Your Steph, and Natasha of Maw Books.

Oh, hey. I like this meme! And I think it's hilarious that you annoy youself with the word 'just'.

Dorlana said...

Stella, what a HOT haiku!!! WOW!!!I love it!!! You're a natural romance writer. Are you working on a romance ms?

Thanks for the Meme. Looks like fun. :D We are similar on all accounts but a little different on number 2. I don't like fish in dishes but will eat it from the frying pan or grill. Not much of it, though. :D

Hugs, JJ

#1. Our first year together, my boyfriend gave me an antique copy of Paradise Lost. I never read it. Then I had a moment of temporary insanity and gave it to a young man (with bf's consent) who was dating a friend of ours because he was obsessed w/ Paradise Lost and I thought he's appreciate it more. They broke up a few months later :-/

#2. Ok, what is the deal w/ vegetarian sushi? I mean, whta do they put in it instead of fish??

#3. Me too.

#4. I edited a page I wrote recently and took out a huge number of "justs".

#5. I love adding random tags that no one else will have.

#6. I love foreign films. Lately I've been watching a lot of French films .

Steph - I never thought of it as comical, but I'll try ;)

Dorlana - you too! And take your time. No pressure about being unspectacular. :)

JJ - Romance MS? Mmm, not quite. Well, maybe. It's... in progress. I'll let you know. And about the fish - I want to like it. Really, I do. It has omega 3s and stuff and is supposed to be healthy. But I just can't get used to it. Maybe I was a fish in another life so now it feels kind of like cannibalism. Or something.

Jupiter - #1 oops! Oh well. Your intention was pure.
#2 Ahh, there's tamago! And campio, asparagus, shitake, carrot, cucumber, tofu! You don't miss the fish. At least if you're me. Although I did have some crab once and it was reasonably tasty.
#3 + 4 It's nice to know I'm not alone in that!
#5 I almost added a random haiku about the letter Z just for the tag, but then I wrote Ziggy Stardust...
#6 Lucky duck! I'm making up a list of titles. At least my ignorance will be organized.

Ziggy Stardust - a blast from the past!

Stella said...

Bobbi - nice to make your acquaintance! You have about 12 (million) blogs. How do you manage them all...?

jupitersinclair said...

I'm making a point to add "Try vegetarian sushi" to my Life's Little To-Do List ;)

Stella said...

Excellent, Jupiter! Tofu and asparagus are especially good together.

Paul said...

Hurumph! Only six, eh? But which six? Now the agonising begins ;-}

Stella said...

Paul - you show-off ;P

Paul said...

If I was laying claim to six (or more) spectacular facts, I might be showing off, but unspectacular...

:-)

Stella said...

;P

Four days, Paul! Only four days! You must feel so jumpy. :))

Book Calendar said...

Thanks for mentioning the meme. Cucumber sushi with a sprinkling of sesame seeds on it is nice.

Stella said...

Just following instructions, BC :)
Besides, it was a cool meme, as was the Six Word Memoir.

Paul said...

Jumpy? I've been bouncing off the ceiling all day!.!.!.!.!.!
