Soldier of Fourtune
Okay, I'm still behind on this meme thing. People, I have no problem being tagged as long as you all don't have a problem with a possible months-long lag time. Also, with me not remembering who the hell tagged me for what. If I don't write it down, there's really no point in deluding myself as far as remembering jack shit about the details.
I do remember one thing about this particular meme, thanks to Sling. No, he's not the one who tagged me (you know who you are. I don't), but he added one bit to it that, well, just needed to be added.
Anyway, here's the Four Things I've Whatevered In My Life meme:
Four jobs I've had in my life (prior to this one and other than "mom"):
1) Chief bottle-washer, camp store operator, and porta-potty cleaner at church camp
2) Top Secret communications bitch in the US Army.
3) Telemarketer. (double shifts of saying the same script for the Sears Credit Protection Plan. Over and over and over and over and over and...)
4) Human Resources manager
Four movies I would watch/have watched over and over:
1) Chocolat
2) The Birdcage
3) Charlie's Angels (Shut up. I know.)
4) The Bodyguard. (hahaha! Kidding, people, kidding.)
Four places I have lived:
1) Junction City, KS
2) Hillsboro, OH
3) Ludwigswinkel, Germany
4) Kaposvár, Hungary
Four people I want to bitch-slap right into the middle of next week!: (thanks, Sling.)
1) Gee-Dubya
2) Email spammers
3) Hillary Clinton
4) Tyra Banks
Four people who email me regularly:
1) a woman I used to work with who send lots and lots of FWD'd messages. Rose of Friendship. Jokes. Teddy Bear Hug Chain. Like that.
2) My mom. Sometimes "real" emails (love it), more often political and religious emails in the hopes of bringing me back to the fold. (shoot me now.)
3) Red*
4) Al*
*until I turned into a slackass non-blogger non-emailer.
Four places I have visited:
1) Monastir, Tunisia
2) Tuzla, Bosnia
3) New Orleans, LA

4) Wife Swap (Shut up. I know.)
Four favorite foods:
1) Burritos
2) Vegetable Korma
3) Any kind of pasta
4) Potatoes in any form
Four places I'd like to be right now:
1) Lake Balaton, Hungary, with a cold beer and a slab of grilled fish
2) Cheers, Kaposvár, Friday night with the old crowd
3) The coast of Spain, Italy, Brazil -- anywhere hot and sunny.
4) My old terrace in Hungary, about 11pm on a hot clear night, in the green chair with a cold beer and still-warm tiles under my bare feet.
Four things I'm looking forward to this year:
1) Indigo Girls summer concert
2) winning the Mega-Millions
3) summer
4) wow, this one's harder than I thought. I need to get a life...
So there you go.

Hey!..I lived in Junction City Kansas too!
You must surely have been stationed at Fort Riley.I was with the 4th Batt. 63rd Armor on Custer Hill.
You have chosen your 4 bitch-slapees well. :)
"Top Secret communications bitch in the US Army."
Before the male offspring applies for his first job, may I suggest some focus on your resume creation skills? :)
charlies angels?....oh shit..now that's funny
Sling -- I remember! We were in different companies, though. I was stationed in Mrs. Franklin's Kindergarten classroom all the way up through my promotion to Miss Champagne's 2nd grade class.
Al -- It's all in how you frame it, right?
YDG -- Sadly, I wasn't joking.
There's a TV show called "Wife Swap?"
The girls are coming this summer? To the zoo or for real? When? We have to get tickets?
You're also looking forward to me coming home, right? And becoming a well-known activist? And Christmas?
(I know one of those sentences shouldn't have had a question mark. It just looked lonely.)
Allan -- Sadly, yes. Families trade spouses, usually the wife, for a period of time, and it's usually something like Evangelical family trades with Hippie Athiests, or Slacker Mom trades with Drill Sergeant Mom. Like that.
WM -- I am indeed looking forward to you coming home! Especially since we missed you on spring break. That's one of the best things of summer. Christmas ... meh. Takes too long to get the decorations put away after.
Tickets go on sale May 5th... We have to be waiting at midnight, hand poised over the keyboard this time. I don't know why they don't do it at Lake Union again. Better yet, repair the friggin' pier!
You said Ludwigswinkel - titter, titter, snort!
You're seeing the Girls this summer! Hooray. If they come to Wolf Trap (they usually do), I'll likely get seats on the lawn (again).
Willym -- Little Ludwig used his winkel to tinkle. Hi, I enjoyed elementary school.
Red -- yes honey! You know I've got to see my girls! We missed them last summer b/c they moved the performance to zoo, a much smaller venue, and the tickets sold within a couple of hours. Bastards. They used to be a regular part of the summer Concerts on the Pier series, but something is wrong w/ the pier, so they moved it to Lake Union, but that only lasted one year. Bastards! That year we had protesters telling the fans we were going to hell because God Hates Fags. Bastards.
by the way michael moore is going to be on larry king tonight for the full hour....
Man, if they come to Wolf Trap I might fly BACK to DC just to see them. It's such a bummmer that all the good stuff happens in the summer here.
All sounds good to me... who has never had a passport even...and doesn't bother about this at all... the food list was good...you must have Irish in your genes somewhere to love spuds so much... me too
This is a nice blog. I like it!
