Synrgy tagged me to do this (though I am not sure why — seriously, Syn…is there a day goes by that I don’t reveal another weird thing to make you shake your head?) but since I always aim to please, here’s my entry in this popular meme sweeping the blogosphere which asks for 8 things that folks may not know about you…
(1) When I buy a boxed set of dvd’s, I take a razor blade and carefully cut along the edges of the shrink wrap where the individual cases will slide out so that the cardboard case will remain plastic covered and not become scuffed and lose its shine.
(2) Toward the end of my relationship with Gregg, I was overwhelmed with all the cheating and lying and just sort of not feeling any thing. One night while I was making salad, I took a knife and cut my forearm just to see if I could feel it. I could. Never did that again.
(3) I can be in a store and just get a “mermaid vibe” and will be drawn to Little Mermaid merchandise. This vibe only works for Ariel and friends. I think it is because I my deep and abiding love for her.
(4) I have gift cards from two birthdays and Christmases ago I still haven’t used. I feel guilty if they aren’t used to buy things I really, really want.
(5) I have always wanted to dress up like Robin (from Batman and…) and have sex with a man dressed as Batman or the Joker. It’s not like a fetish, but costume party sex is a HUGE fantasy of mine.
(6) I fall asleep any time there is a huge battle scene or a bunch of exploding shit in a movie. My mind just cannot process too much action at once; it just shuts down. For example, I loved the LORD OF THE RINGS movies (Strider was fucking HAWT!) but I have yet to see the last one all the way through — I always fall asleep when that fucking ghost army shit or whatever starts up.
(7) In the winter, I have 7 blankets on my bed which must be in a certain order — ultra softest closest to my body orking outward to the most coarse to my touch. I am the only one who knows the order.
(8) My favorite kitchen item is my HandiChopper. I love how I can dice onions in like 5 seconds without crying. God bless TeleBrands.
I’m supposed to tag 8 people now, but I totally suck at that so if you are reading this and would like to participate, consider yourself officially tagged by the Dirkster.
Anything that gives me diced onions without me having to cry is good. Thats why (hypothetically) I’d get my (imaginary, non-battery operated) boytoy to do it.

Since Bruce reads this Blog, the next time you see him he’ll be wearing a Batman suit and have a Robin suit for you.
I say once more, you got away from that Asshole Gregg just in time.
Isn’t it silly to have 7 blankies in the Winter when you keep your place the same temperature the whole year round?
I’m still waiting to hear how training the replacement person is going.
Do you also have a Salad Shooter? Hours of fun indeed!

Are you aware that some gift cards lose value over time. If you do not use them within a certain period, they start to lose a percentage of their full value. You might want to check them.
We have a chopper that my wife got through a Pamper Chef party that may be similar. It is the coolest. I love it for onions and nuts (no, not THAT kind!).

I am so glad I’m not the only one that has to have the softest material possible next to my skin. From sheets to jeans and yeah it costs a little more to buy them but I go out of my mind if something feels coarse.
Happy Fourth of July. Be Safe!

#5 I’ve always wanted to get fucked by the Pillsbury Doughboy at a Pampered Chef party.

You have an Ariel vibe and I get an Ursula vibe. What does that say about me? Other than the fact that I will steal both your voice and your boyfriend.

I do like my Disney cartoons. B and the B makes me almost cry, not to mention the opening song from the LK. FYI: The opening chant “Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba / Sithi uhm ingonyama” is in Zulu. It means “Here comes a lion, Father / Oh yes, it’s a lion!”.

I’ve told you one of my best friends is a “friend of Ariel” at MGM-Studios, right? She’s also becoming a “friend of Dorie” (Finding Nemo) at Animal Kingdom.
If you ever get down to Orlando, I’ll see if i can hook us up with some viewage.

Of the 8 I found the mermaid thing to be creepiest. I can totally relate to the costume one. Batman sex sounds hot.

Ooo I never thought about the idea with the box set & plastic wrap. I shall put it into practice when I purchase Oz.

I used to keep the plastic wrap on my record albums and just slit open the side to take the disc out. Of course, that way, you could also see the “2 for $9, Thanks For Shopping At Venture” sticker, but…

Again, I’m thinking the summer heat puts everyone in heat. But you’re right, costume sex sounds kinda…’hot’.

speaking of characters and costumes….. one of my good friends from college married Prince Charming – literally… he was a Disney Intern in college, and he was Prince Charming for a summer…. (and yes, he got to keep one of the costumes)

Hmmm… But Mr. Mancuso… What if I’m not feeling very Heroic… Would Bane or Mr. Freeze do?
Dirk says: Bane has that hood thingie…very hot. Mr. Freeze, Riddler, Ra’s Al Ghul…makes me no difference as long as there’s a costume involved.

I can see doing Batman, but not Joker…

I have to wonder if it would be out of line to tell you I have a Batman costume. Hmm…this could get interesting.
Dirk says: you know what would be out of line? You telling me that and then not sending me a pic of you in it…

Oooo, I made your list, thanky yous. And I’m so glad you’d date a hair stylist… I throw away all dvd boxes and keep the dvds in a folder, and I’ve been rewatching the Rings trilogy for the first time since seeing them in the theater; those movies are just plain intense, and my brain shut down a lot during them, too.

With seven blankets, there are 5,040 different ways they could be arranged. Hope the future Mr. Mancuso has a good memory, or you’ve got a mnemonic.
