Me in Three
In three weeks, I will kiss my thirties goodbye, so here's an appropriate meme to send them off. Via Billville, your one-stop source for up-to-date Zune news and annoying memes!
3 Names You Go By
Chuckles, Chuck U. Farley, Professor
3 Screen Names You Have
charlec, chazzbotte (fuck Yahoo for making "chazzbot" unavailable!), Frisky Yorktown (my porn-star name)
3 Things You Like About Yourself
I'm reasonably intelligent, I can spend hours in my basement without ever getting bored, and I am a college professor who has worked in a meat-packing plant and driven in a demolition derby.
3 Things You Dislike About Yourself
I procrastinate, I don't read fast enough, I am too easily distracted by memes and questionnaires.
3 Parts of Your Heritage
Uh, see Billville.
3 Things That Scare You
I'm going to answer this as if it were "3 things that give you nightmares". So: falling from the air, nuclear war, and excessively violent episodes of The Sopranos (this week's penultimate episode was a doozy).
3 Everyday Essentials
Glasses, something pointy to gouge out dirt from my fingernails, music (I've noticed I become increasingly tense the longer I've gone without listening to music. It's some kind of psychological addiction, seriously.)
3 Things You're Wearing Right Now
Space shuttle t-shirt, gym shorts, uh . . . three?
3 Favorite Bands/Artists
The Beatles, Radiohead, Otis Redding
3 Favorite Songs at Present
"Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken" by Camera Obscura
"Are You Ready for Love?" by Elton John
"The Best Damn Thing" by Avril Lavigne (I know.)
3 Things You Want to Try and Do in the Next 12 Months
Finish the dissertation. Finish reading Stephen King's Dark Tower series. (I'm on volume four.) Own every episode of Babylon 5 and Star Trek: The Next Generation on DVD so JonLee will write poems about me.
3 Things You Want in a Relationship
Loyalty. Curiousity. Super-saver discounts. (Oddly, these criteria also apply to my dealer.)
2 Truths and a Lie
I have mapped out a location and timeline for my "disappearance." I once lived with a prostitute. I have a secret family (well, they don't know they're secret).
3 PHYSICAL Things About the Opposite Sex That Appeal to You
Big teeth. Thighs. The swell of the sternum as it leads into the breasts.
3 Things You Just Can't Do
Repair an automobile engine. Schmooze convincingly. Live on faith.
3 Favorite Hobbies
Reading. Listening to music. Blogging.
3 Things I Want to Do Really Bad Right Now
Figure out how to pay my bills during the summer without working a stupid temp job. Eat a turkey samich. Change the air-flow patterns over Enoch, Utah, so I don't have to listen to the fucking wind blow any more today.
3 Careers You Have Considered
Police detective. Astrophysicist. IRS Section Chief.
3 Places You Want to Go on Vacation
Alaska. New Zealand/Australia. Roswell, New Mexico.
3 Kids' Names You Have Considered
Sarah Jane. Elizabeth Anne. Aretha.
3 Things You Want to Do Before You Die
Publish a novel. See the Earth from orbit. Transcend my human weakness.
3 People Who Have to Take This Quiz Now
Most of my friends don't maintain an online presence. (I know, how boring are these people?) But I'd like to see what Mallyeren comes up with.

Sir Charles,
1) You've forgotten the most important name you go by. It has appeared at the top of virtually every email I've ever sent you, as it appears at the top of this comment. I'm truly mortified that you've forgotten about me. Is this the end of our journey?
2) I'll write poems about you just as soon as you get around to finally writing that long-expected review of Ode to Brian (ahem).
A challenge! I'm up for it.
