Four-by-Four

So far, delurking week’s been fun, no? It looks like about 20 of you are out there reading. Wait a minute, you’re reading and you haven’t commented? That’s just wrong. What are you, some kind of taker? I mean, do you have a PROBLEM or something?

Oh, relax, I’m just kidding. It’s Wednesday, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Just leave a comment between now and Friday, Mom, and all will be forgiven.

Anyway... Here’s the meme Allison tagged me with:

Four Jobs You’ve Had in Your Life:
1. Meat wrapper
2. Telemarketing superviser
3. Newspaper correspondent (i.e., very low-paid reporter)
4. Butt wiper

Four Movies You Could Watch Over and Over:
I don’t really like to watch movies over and over, but if I did...
1. Office space
2. Parenthood
3. The Incredibles (Not only could I, but I have. Not by choice, mind you.)
4. Can’t think of any others, but if I could, I’m sure it would be a comedy.

Four Places You’ve Lived:
1. In a tiny two-bedroom apartment with two parents, one brother and one cat (the teen years)
2. In a tiny two-bedroom apartment with my best friend from childhood (during college)
3. In my new boyfriend’s parents’ 150-year-old house. They let me live with them because my parents moved out of state while I was in college, and they felt bad for me. Although his mom told me I could break up with her son and not feel bad for living there, I felt so indebted that I married him and bore him three children. What can I say, I’m a giver.
4. And finally, in my own imperfect, cluttered, but relatively palatial three-bedroom house.

Four Websites You Visit Daily:
1. Google
2. FOX News
3. Sitemeter
4. Gmail (want an invite?)

Four TV Shows You Love To Watch:
1. Lost
2. The Apprentice (the Donald version)
3. That 70s Show used to be my favorite sitcom, but now I don’t have one. We just started watching Everybody Hates Chris, it's pretty funny. We tried My Name Is Earl, but I guess it’s too highbrow for me.
4. Desperate Housewives (I don't LOVE it, but it's the only other thing I'm watching right now)

Four of Your Favorite Foods:
1. Anything from a good Thai restaurant
2. Chocolate peanut butter cups
3. French Fries
4. Bread

Four Albums You Can’t Live Without (at least for the moment):
I’m years behind in my album listening, and I still can’t pick just four.
1. The Eminem Show
2. Fiona Apple, Tidal
3. Erykah Badu, Baduizm (I don’t know why I bonded so tightly with Baduizm, but I did)
4. My Beck collection (no I can’t choose just one)

I’m also fairly attached to Mama Said (Kravitz), Zeppelin III and The Red Hot Chili Peppers Greatest Hits.

Four Places You’d Rather Be:
Let me preface this by saying “without the kids”:
1. At a spa resort
2. Home, but with “clean, uncluttered, quiet” all around me
3. In a cozy chaise lounge on the beach of a tropical island, sipping an icy, spiked drink and reading a trashy novel.
4. At a fabulous restaurant with a few of my favorite friends

Four People Who Are Now Obligated To Do This to Their Blog:
Do you know why I hate tagging people? Because I'm afraid they'll hate me (Allison, you know what I mean, right?) So if you want to do it, go ahead! Just let me know you did so I can check out your answers and link to you here.
