The Queen's Meme-The Blabbermouth Meme

1. When you were a child did you ever blab a family secret and get in trouble for it later?
yes. i remember that  when i was about 5 or 6, my uncle who was in his 20's at the time, had a friend  whose unmarried teenage sister had a baby. on the way to see her and the new baby, my grandmother pronounced judgment on her, saying she was a whore. (remember this was about 1969 or 1970). we had a good visit as far as i can remember, and as we were getting to leave, the 16 yr old came out with the baby. her mom told her that she needed to take the baby back in the house as it could get sick being so little and being outside. i asked her if i could as her a question, and she smiled and said "yes sure". 
i then proceeded to ask her if she was a whore?
her eyes filled up with tears, and she looked at her parents. my family was MORTIFIED. and my mother said "angelia, why did you say that" and i said "grandmother said she was and i just wanted to know if she was right"

grandmother said "no, i didnt say that" and i said, "yes you did. you said that on the way over here"
the parents said that it was a shame that such a good visit had to be ruined this way, and that it was time for us to leave. 
i remember my family talking about this all on the way home, and my grandmother was so mad at me!! my mother did stand up for me by telling her that if she didn't want the other family to know what she really felt about the girl, she shouldn't have said it in front of me, because she knew that small children parroted everything they heard. 




2. Have you said anything in the last 24 hours that you regret? yes. i got mad at my son, and yelled and said some bad words.

3. Have you ever blabbermouthed something to a significant other that in hindsight you really should have kept to yourself? given the hell that living with my last ex-husband was, at that time, i shouldn't have run my mouth like i did, but now.....i wouldnt take any of it back, because he's a ASS!!!

4. Have you ever written anything on your blog that you wish you could take back? no not yet, but if i felt like that i probably just delete it.

5. Are you the blabber or the blabbee? Tell us your most embarrassing blabbermouth moment. when i was younger right on up until i was about 27 or so, i was the blabber. but after having to apologize a few too many times, i learned to keep my mouth shut. now i'm just the blabbee. 

6. Who is the biggest blabbermouth tattletale in your household? when my husbands sons aren't here, it would be my 11 yr old son, but when they are, it would be his 8 yr old son

7. You are the Blog Paparazzi! Which blogger's real photograph are you most interested in getting? probably Winivere's . i have an idea that she is probably ALOT prettier and smaller than she thinks.

8. If you could hire the loudest and most skilled blabbermouth in the universe to do your talking for you and advertise it well, what message would you like to spread to humanity? Don't hold back. 
that we better be getting prepared the gov't isn't being totally honest with us.

Welcome to The Queen's Tuesday Meme #16
Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious.

Step out of the box. Be creative.
Use your imagination.
No one's answers are quite like yours.

This meme is called
You Are On Your Way


1. You are at a party in a very bad mood. There is an obnoxious guest with a camera snapping pictures of everyone in sight. Do you allow the photographs or ask them to stop?
i'd HAVE to tell them to quit, esp if they were irritating everyone else

2. You are shopping and watch the lady beside you at the jewelry counter slip an expensive diamond ring in her purse. What do you do?



i'd have to be a tattler, and rat her out

3. You are on your way to a black tie affair and running late. You are the guest speaker at this event and everyone is waiting for you. A police officer pulls you over for speeding. Do you make up a story or tell him where you are going and try to talk your way out of the citation? Tell us your excuse.
well, i'd just be honest with him-sometimes you get lucky. i have found that if you're in scrubs, you have a better chance of getting lucky (i used to work at a hospital and got stopped going in at 5 am) 
4. You are on your way downstairs on Christmas morning to see what Santa Claus left. There are no gifts under the tree. He leaves a note that reads, "You've been VERY naughty this year."
What did you do??!

I'D BE TAKING MY HUSBANDS THINGS BACK FOR A REFUND, THAT'S WHAT I'D DO!! BECAUSE HE'D BE THE BIRD THAT I'D BEEN MISBEHAVING WITH!! WOOHOO!!



5. You are halfway through a first date with someone you really like. Suddenly your ex walks in and sits down at the table beside you. What do you do?

6. You are on your way to meet a billionaire. She is going to give you enough money to live on for the rest of your life IF you can answer this question correctly: Which came first the chicken or the egg?

just like God created adam and eve as adults, i believe He did all the animals as well, so....the chicken, of course
 


 

7. You are on your way to the sun and moon and stars for an intergalactic vacation.
You crash into a rainbow.
What do you find in your pot of gold?

The Queen's Meme-The Woodstock Meme





Forty years ago this week, three days of peace, love and rock 'n roll (and mud) happened near Bethel, New York. It was the Summer of 1969.
Attire: Hippie jeans. Long hair. Legal or illegal smoke. Psychedelic vibe.

The scene: You are at Woodstock. You go alone but meet up with a beautiful man/woman. You spend three days together.
Put yourself inside the peace & love vibe. You can choose to be stoned or straight. I put it in the story for the sake of reality. Just don't inhale in this meme.
This is the conversation you have upon meeting or you can make it into what you overhear others say.
It makes no sense and has no continuity by design.
You must fill in the familiar blanks to finish the story. Some are song lyrics. You may use more than one word to fill in the blanks.

Oh! I forgot to tell you (must be the smoke in here) You have a new name. It must a combination of the first letter of your first name, the third letter of your middle name and the last letter of your last name.
Peace out!
Somebody might wanna turn on a fan in here.

1. "Hello, my groovy name is AIN't misbehavin!! lol

Didn't they tell you? No laziness allowed!

If I dream before I wake, I pray the dreamcatcher my bad dreams to take.

5. There's a party in my sleeping bag and half a million of my powwow friends are coming over tonight and we're gonna trade blanket my baby off my mind. Darn the luck. It's raining beads (s) and indian tacos (s)
Luckily, Papa was a rolling stomp dancer and I'm on a first name basis with the cops.
**puff puff**

6. I'm really digging your regalia but that wet buck skin has got to go. Those flowers in your hair are beginning to smell like a skunk got to you.
Have I told you lately that I wish i coud make you bathe in tomato juice? (to get rid of the smell)
** puff puff**


7. I'm beginning to see owls in those trees over there. Do you see it?
Out of all the millions of hippies here, you are the most on Indian time.

But I dig it, man.

**puff puff**

8. I'd use all my blood, sweat and left over energy just to get next to your sleeping bag at the powwow!

Love is free but I'd really like to buy that guy's ribbon shirt for you.
It says "Make Indian tacos not hamburgers " Far out!


9. I'm grateful to be Cherokee 'cause there's a bad moon rising in Jefferson's Airplane. But that's okay, 'cause Joe Cocker said I could get by with a little war paint from my friends.

10. Oh, by the way, your "tepee" is on fire. But I dig it.

** You might stay out of the dungeon if you post a picture of yourself or someone you know in your hippie clothes (if you're old enough)**

a powwow is the closest that i've ever gotten to anything Woodstock related, so here is another repeat picture of our ceremony.

Thank you for playing the Queen's Meme this
week. My latest post: A Half-Lived Girl In A Polka Dot Dress



Once upon a time in a faraway Bloggiverse there lived a maiden named Queen Mimi Pencil Skirt. She slayed her own dragons, stoked her own fire and well.....wrote memes by the light of the Bloggingham moon. One day a kind blogger from England noticed her meme lovin' ways and royally crowned her Mimi Queen of Memes. As time passed in the peaceful kingdom of Bloggingham, her Royal Highness found comfort in the company of fellow bloggers who also loved memes. But the Queen had a wicked disposition too. It is widely reported in historical Blogosphere archives that any and all bloggers found guilty of not completing their memes were promptly thrown into the dreaded Bloggingham dungeon.
If I were you, I'd do the meme.

The Queen's Meme-Mission Impossible

The Mission Impossible Meme
Lift off!


1. You are a guest on the space shuttle. You just arrived on the moon and realize you forgot something back home that you can't live without. What is it and how do you convince them to go back and fetch it?
i think that i would tell them i have pms and need my midol and stayfree because there was no way that there was enough of anything on board that would provide enough protection as i b***d like a stuck pig!! (which would be a lie of course as i had all the tissue paper taken out of the box several yearsago) you know it would work too because no man wants to even imagine that mess much less clean it up-everything is weightless in space, ya know-actually, i had to come back on here and change my mind, i'll just tell them that i am late playing the queens meme and if i don't get it filled out, i'll end up in the dungeon, hahahahaha, that'll stop them dead in there tracks cause they know that they will end up there too as accessories after the fact!! they don't wanna be chained up on to the walls and wind up as skeletons!!!! muwahahahah!!!!



2. Pretend you are a teacher in a rough public school for one day. You have been assigned to teach Manners 101. You have the "challenging bad butt kids" class (remember this is a pretend school and anyway I can't say ass on my blog 'cause it's so unQueenly and I might get fined or something).
They are jumping up and down, cursing, and throwing things at you.
What is the first thing you would write on the board? the one that correctly guesses my name. gets the personal phone number of kim kardashian or orlando bloom (they'll never guess it because it's rumplestiltskin)

3. Someone in your family or a friend has started a blog. They think it is anonymous but you have figured it out. They are saying derogatory things about you. Do you tell them or do you read it for awhile?
How would you handle it?
i think i would read it a while, and after i got enough ammo, it print it all off,confront them, and cut them out of my will, which of course, has bequeathed them millions. out, out, damned spot

4. If you had one dollar left in your pocket, what would you spend it on? the mello yello i will be drinking as i kick my relative off into the moat at my castle

5. President Obama and the First Lady are coming over for dinner. What do you serve? pinto beans, fried potatoes, turnip greens w/vinegar, and cornbread. and buttermilk to wash it all down with.

6. You walk in on your lover. They are trying on your clothes. What do you do? so THAT'S why everythings too big. i thought my diet was working.

7. Every astronaut must have shots! Choose your vaccination: You only get one and you can't enjoy any of the attributes of the other choices. You choose either: (1) The fountain of eternal youth and sexual vigor but only for 10 years (2) perfect health for a lifetime (3) eternal mind-numbing nirvana and peace of mind (4) unlimited hedonism for one year with no negative consequences. perfect health for a life-time because after kicking my relative into the moat, my legs are killing me. it was the same one that i caught trying on my clothes and since he stretched out all my clothes, you know his butt has to be HUGE

This is your mission should you choose to accept it. And remember, don't end up in the dungeon.
