Things Only Ace Thinks About

Sometimes my life is boring. Sometimes it's interesting. Usually it's more often the former and not so much the latter. Sometimes I can make it through my day only by pretending I have a documentary crew following me around, and that's when I'm glad that my inner-monologue cannot be heard by others. Everyone thinks like this, yes? And everyone loves Elvis, and the Brady Bunch, and Stephen King, and birthdays, right?

Oh yes, another list

One of my friends sent this survey to me. Since (a) mass emails bug me (b) email forwards bug me and (c) I hate email surveys, I decided to not reply to the email. Then I thought about and realized that I like answering these types of surveys, just not in an email. Because that's gay.

And I figured that this site was perfect for that since (a) it's my site and I can put whatever I want on it (b) I like to write about myself and (c) I'm guessing that if you read this site, you have nothing better to do than read all about me. I'm taking advantage of this. Read on, and learn much trivia about me.

1. Hum a jingle of which you know all the words: I love what you do for me! TOYOTA! (as an added bonus, I love that commercial when all the people jump up excitedly on "TOYOTA!")

2. What game did you cheat at as a kid? Uh, cheating is always bad. Um-kay. But I might (might) have occasionally cheated at Uno. I wouldn't always draw four.

3. What song have you always sung the wrong words to? What words did you sing? I can't think of any as an adult, but for many years as a child I thought that Jan and Dean were heading off to "Smurf City." Sounded like fun.

4. What is the most embarrassing childhood story that your parents love to tell just to amuse themselves: I would "run away" from home whenever my sister was all about the mean to poor little Ace. Knowing my dad would come find me (and usually take me for ice cream), I wouldn't go too far. I'd head about five houses down and sit with my two lunch boxes full of running away essentials: stuffed animals. I had streets smarts even then. Pocatello will drive that lesson home to you, if nothing else.

5. What all jobs have you had: Ticket taker at the local race track, baby-sitter (derh), dish-washer, courier for a travel agency, cashier at Arby's and later Wendy's, waitress at a fifties place (where I'm pretty sure I hold the title for Worst Waitress Ever), sales associate at Penney's, secretary, TA, library peon, and instructor. Current job: resident bad-ass in my department. Man, I just reread that and I'm lame.

6. Top four favorite TV shows: Currently, Arrested Development, Scrubs, 24, and Criminal Minds. Ever, Brady Bunch, Seinfeld, Friends, and Sex and the City.

7. Best four places you've been on vacation: Vegas, Ocean City, Bocono, and Island Park.

8. Top four web sites you visit on a daily basis: Yahoo mail, my online banking, Pork Tornado (dude, update!) and some random porn . . . I mean, uh, CNN online. Yeah.

9. Top four favorite foods: Non-dessert: Cheddar-broccoli soup in a bread bowl, homemade raviolli (sorry, Chef Boyardee), egg rolls, and turkey. Dessert: chocolate cake, pumpkin cheesecake, peanut butter-chocolate ice cream, and cookies (close tie between chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin).

10. Top four places you would rather be at right now: Somewhere where it's not winter, in bed reading, Elvis-a-Rama in Vegas, and anywhere with room service.

Perhaps tomorrow I will make my list of celebrities I hate. I love lists.

If I'm humming that Toyota song at work tomorrow, there will be hell to pay.
