five gleefully random tidbits, or, i have been forced into posting.
first Lauren tagged me, then Ms. Jen. durn you both (but thanks for keeping me honest). so what exactly is "blogging enough" anyway? i mean, of course i would like to post more (an ongoing lament)...but sometimes once a week IS enough for someone who doesn't love sitting at her computer.
hey! that's number one of "five things you might not know about me unless i blogged it"!
1. i do not love sitting at computers. not my computer, not T.T,'s computer, not public internet cafe computers. i love the technology and the worlds computers offer me. however, it is not something that stimulates huge bursts of creativity in me. sad, but true.
2. i also do not love hot cereals. cream of wheat is especially noxious to me. in fact, because i had to eat it so much as a kid growing up in a land of no cool American boxed cereals, i told my mother that when i was old enough to move out and choose my breakfasts i would never eat hot cereals of my own volition. she probably laughed at me and told me to finish my oatmeal. mom, i am still NOT eating hot cereals, by the way. and yes, i am relieved to just say no to porridge.
3. both my grandmothers are still alive. and they kick some serious grandma boo-tay. white grandma is in the high eighties (age) and lives in a retirement community in Ohio. she runs movie nights, a bridge club, her own life, and that of her cat named Super. she is hilarious, fierce, and when she says she loves me, it makes me feel ultra-special. chinese grandma is in the high nineties and lives in a retirement community in Maryland. she naps a lot, but eats things like nuts and cookies and other crunchy things with her own teeth, and thinks T.T.'s hair is very glamorous. she once told me that "after ninety, it's all downhill." she is hilarious, fierce, and when she says she loves me in her unique English, it makes me feel ultra-special. you ROCK, oh grandmothers of mine.
4. during my youthful drama career (oh, you didn't know?) i was in such random productions as A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Music Machine, and Driving Miss Daisy. i think the last time i did something thespian was when i was volunteered into playing a follower of Charles Manson in a student film. i kid you not.
5. five? am i already to five? do i have to do ten because i was double-tagged? no, i'll spare you, dear readers, and myself. hmmm...okay, i'll make this one a guilty confession. you know the unbelievably tasty dark-chocolate-covered cranberries that we got this summer in Nantucket? the ones you thought were all eaten or given away? well, they weren't actually gone... i squirreled them away in my desk drawer and ate them slowly, one at a time, savouring each one. they helped me forget that i do not love sitting at the computer.
i don't think i've repeated anything i listed already in the ever-growing "who is HadashiWorld?" section...
and kids, the meme stops here. i can't bring myself to tag anyone...besides, you all already have plenty to post about, don't you?

doodlebuns, i so remember the lumpy slab of raisin oatmeal that would appear in our breakfast bowls once a week. i thought it looked like you-know-what. BUT...i am now a BIG FAN of hot cereal, including cream of wheat. it's just the best with some honey and cinnamon. and there are so many great types of instant, like kashi's heart-to-heart apple cinnamon or vanilla and that blueberry oatmeal stuff nature's path makes. and then there's the happiness of cheap, hearty, filling thick-cut oats you make yourself with currents and nutmeg and honey. GLUMMY!!! i know you're just drooling. i think you need to live in colder weather to come to truly appreciate the joy that is hot cereal in the morning.
btw...bb wears dentures...that's why her teeth are so great...and did you know gma is turning 90 next year? whoa! and don't forget your play, "The Last Dress Rehearsal" with mark esparza in which you two were the co-stars. i'll always remember your TAG midsummer night's dream. you were thisby and that eric kid was thisby's dude whose name also started with a th and i remember the fake suicide part was just brilliantly hilarious. i remember thinking that you were just brilliant and TAG, being in shakespeare at age 10 or so. and your last play was not the charles manson follower, it was another one later in which you played some little girl for a tragical christmas play at b***a. i didn't see it but daddy did, remember? yep. but your most bestest and more perfect performance was lucy in charlie brown christmas. i remember thinking that you and dennis paul looked EXACTLY like charlie brown and lucy, ya'll was so perfict!
