16 Facts: If I Were a Cupcake, I'd Eat Myself

Holy Memes, Batman! I was approached with two memes today--one from the fabulous Shell and another from my Sis Anna! So, I am going combine the two to try to create one Epic ULTRA MEME list of 16 facts and Truths...Can She Do it!?

1. I am a neat freak. I can't do anything in my studio or concentrate on homework unless everything is in it's place. I feel that what surrounds you reflects what's going on inside of you. Obsessive anyone?

2. I hate grapes. Once when I was youngling in girl scouts I was made to stick my hand in a bag of peeled grape "eyeballs". Never got over the association.

3. I once had a strange dream in which I was wandering around an abandoned Victorian mansion in some sort of trapeze artist outfit. I was walking down one if the houses darkened hallways and came across an oil painting of Gerard Way (of My Chemical Romance) in period dress. I stopped in front of it and suddenly Gerard moved and said, "Molly. You've gotta build a church." How awesomely weird is that?!

4. I'm an awful brush care-taker. Most artists baby their brushes, as you should since they are your bread and butter. But I am AWFUL at rinsing them out and soaping them properly. I'll let them sit in a bucket of goopy paint water for days. Oopsy!

5. Even though I absolutely abhor guns and everything they stand for, I use gun imagery in my writing all the time. There's just something terrifyingly interesting about gun metaphors. Wacky.

6. On the subject of firearms, if I had a choice between being shot or stabbed? I chose stabbed.

7. Tom Jones is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. What's new, pussycat?

8. Speaking of which, I worry about my cats dying. They are my Companions and can't imagine what I'll do when I have to come across their body someday.

9. Anna and I have plans to move in together when we're old ladies--hopefully into a big old barn and call it "The Art Farm". There we'll live with our Muffins and herd of cats and make music and paint and go deaf together.

10. I am terrified of doctors. Just don't like 'em. I probably won't go see a doctor unless my right arm falls off--I can't sew with my left hand.

11. I L.O.V.E creepy plastic religious figurines! Especially ones that are made to sit on top of television sets and dashboards.

12. I feel awful about my prejudice against stinkilly wealthy people. I am just rubbed the wrong way by waste and arrogance. It's odd, seeing as a majority of my living is made by fulfilling the whims of yuppies. I know it's wrong, but I can't help it.

13. Every time I watch Edward Scissor Hands, I cry. I blame it entirely on the music. :)

14. If I were a cupcake--I would eat myself.

15. I order Bloody Mary's mostly because I just really love pickles. And I'm a "spear" sort of gal. (There's an excellent bar near me that does a Bloody Mary that serves 3 people and comes with celery, olives, onions, PICKLES, sausage sticks and cheese whips!!)

16. I had a gay man try to pick me up at a club because he thought I was a transvestite. It's my own fault for having a penchant for grandma-red-lipstick. It's true--gay men have impeccable taste. ;)

*WHEW!*

Now I pass it on to you, my pretties! What are your deepest darkest secrets?

I'm it!


I’ve been tagged! How fun!
Alrighty, here is my Mighty List of Six Secrets:


In my daydreams my alter ego is a to-die-for darkly
semi-vampiric vixen, Delilah Van Tassel.

*
My hair is not black, pink, blue or white as it usually is—
I’m a dish-water blonde. (Don’t tell anyone!)

*
Every time I smoke a cigarette I am terrified
I’ll die the same way my grandmother did.

*
Even though I am the screamer for a metal band, secretly, I’ve always dreamed of being an opera singer
and performing Madame Butterfly in a beautiful hall.

*
In my mind I have personified my “wellness”
as a cluster of fireflies that live behind my lungs:
When all is well they glow a vibrant green.
When I am in a dark place, they go dormant.

*
If had to make a wish and world peace and solving
world hunger were not options, I would wish for a
full fledged soundtrack to follow me for life.


So--now I tag:
