Five Lame Things about me that I am secretly proud of
I saw this meme on some other blogs and thought it sounded like something I could do.(1) I am, in the immortal words of Lydia, a guilt junkie, meaning that I am occasionally immobilized by my need to go and feel bad about myself for a while. I feel that there is something quintessentially mennonite about this.
(2) I have very pale skin that looks all veiny and gross in places, but I wouldn't think of getting a tan, even if my skin were capable of it. This is maybe not only lame but also racist? I'm rocking it Elizabethan style! I figure I will be justified when I am hideous and old but only marginally wrinkly.
(3)I cut myself a lot when using knives. Beats me why I'm proud of this...
(4)I am very good at filing. I can file like a son of a gun. Seriously, you should see me.
(5)The upper third or so of my vocal range, which is roughly the D in the middle of the treble clef and about 6 tones above that, has essentially no dynamic variation. When I sing high notes I sing them in one way and one way only: Very. Very. Loud. My soprano range has a sort of honky quality, which seems appropriate given Item 2.
Okay, if you have read this, do your own. And then tell me!

You know, I think the Catholics were there before you on the guilt thing. By several centuries...
yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. Mennos are old enough now that we can also claim guilt, says I. It's just one of the similarities between us!
