All At Once

    I came back from lunch early so I could get all this meming (memeing?) out of my system. If this isn't your bag, bear with me or skip it. If you're curious, read on, McDuff...

Lists of Three, via the Cat's Meme blog thanks to J.R.'s Meme blog

    Three things I am wearing.
1) Iowa Hawkeyes long-sleeved t-shirt
2) dark blue sweats
3) Nike sox and shoes (it's a pretty much all-Nike day - and a slugfest)
    Three things on the desk.
Only 3? OK...
1) 2 of the 23 CDs from one of the Harry Potter books, needing to be replaced as soon as I remember which title it is. (Duh)
2) letter from the grad school with incorrect address that I've been meaning to fax to them with a correction since I got it. In March (holy crap, has it been that long?)
3) A note - "email J.R. about bead books". Not dated.
    Three good ways to describe my personality.
1) Not easily shaken.
2) Generous.
3) Thoughtful (as in, I think a lot. I'm not patting myself on the back - that would be weird.)
    Three bad things about my personality.
1) I'm a procrastinator, apparently. Does that count?
2) Personally indecisive.
3) Sometimes explosive (not usually in anger).
    Three parts of my heritage.
1) Norway
2) England
3) Alcohol
    Three things I like about my body.
1) Really blue eyes that range from periwinkle to cornflower on the best of days (or when I have a migraine or am very sad)
2) I'm really, really strong - I can carry a quarter-barrel on my shoulder.
3) I can turn my tongue upside down (you'd have to see it to understand, but it's really cool).
    Three things I do not like about my body.
1) my nose - a bitchy girl in 8th grade told me that it's so flat in the middle that I could sell it out for advertising
2) my propensity to blush - I can't hide anything from anyone
3) sometimes, the size of my eyes - people think I'm staring when I'm just looking
    Three things most people do not know about me.
1) There's really very little that someone doesn't know about me.
2) I just ordered a new laptop and it should arrive tomorrow or Thursday.
3) My class rank from 9th grade through high school graduation, even given the fluctuations of four years and hundreds of course grades, remained steady at 69. (So I was 69th of 384.)
    Three things I say the most.
1) Fuck
2) Rather
3) Huh
    Three places I want to go.
1) Home
2) Someplace warm (it's rained for so many days, everyone looks pruny and weird and it's starting to affect morale)
3) Ireland
    Three names that I go by.
1) Amy
2) Aim
3) A    
    Three screen names I have had.
1) M... (my cat's name, growing up)
2) Gerb (long, dumb story involving a cake I once decorated - badly)
3) z969030 (thanks, law school, for giving me something easy to remember)
