Here He Comes, Miss America

Welcome again to S t e al i ng which we bring you weekly on The WTIT Blog. We have gotten really good at just stealing a meme from someone else’s post. (You can play meme with Judd andthe official Sunday Stealing meme.) Last week we asked you to recommend a meme that you did that we can steal. Here are two of them, so both of them can play along as well. They are now added to our “Previous Victims” list. The first is from a blogger named cChibiNatsumi21from the blog The Unfulfiller of Expectation. It’s 88 questions, we will do it in parts. She does not state where she found the meme. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. Let’s go!

Sunday Stealing: The 88 Meme, The Last Part, Thankfully

69. Song you’re thinking of right now? Joy to the Worldby Three Dog Night. I am transferring WTIT tapes to digital and it starts “The Bud Fabrication” which I briefly used as a title. Here’s a coincidence: The tape is number 69 and so is the question. Totally accidental, since I just woke up.

70. Want someone back in your life? Yes, but on my own terms.

71. Will tomorrow be better than today? Tomorrow starts my vacation. Oh, baby!!! You know what sucks moose? Waiting for response cards for our wedding.

72. What’s the color of the underwear you are wearing? Grey. Hope that saves lives.

73. Who was the first best friend that you ever had?Galloping Gary. He along with Bouncing Billy founded WTIT with me. Thanks to fb, we are back in touch frequently. His is one of the responses we haven’t received for our wedding. I hope he makes it.

74. How do you react when someone disappoints you? Like any rational person, I shoot them.

75. Is there anyone who understands your sexuality? Ha! I’ll go with “Yes, Kathy”. We were gonna wait till our wedding night, of course, but alcohol happens.

76. Are you a naturally happy person?Or is your happiness forced? Neither. I generally medicate.

77. Is there anyone you wish would fall in love with you? I only have eyes for the woman who will honor me by becoming my bride.

78. What do you wear when you sleep? Last night it was grey underwear & a Beatles’ tee.

79. Are you obsessed with something right now? The transferring of WTIT tapes to digital. The quality of the first 6 months of recording was horrible. Along with transferring, I can remaster. It’s a ton of work, but the finished product keeps blowing me away. On the final tape that I worked on last night, from 1972, near the end I said “I hope this song fits on the tape.” It didn’t. But now it does.

80. The first person you loved is? My mommy? I suppose the moron who wrote this fucker (as opposed to the moron who stole it) meant “romantically”. I’ll go with my high school flame, Sally. We still chat every five years or so. She broke up with me because she was an over-the-top born again and I had left religion at age 14. She said, “God came to me in a vision. He told me to marry a religious person.” I was a freshman at college and it totally crushed me. But how do you argue with God?

Sally more recently.

She had what I guess you’d call a nervous breakdown a couple of years later. Her mom called and said, “I don’t know who else to ask for help. She’s in a mental institution and you are the sanest person who ever was in her life. Can you visit her?” How could I say no? I had to ask my present GF for “permission”. She was completely supportive. It was a bad move on her part. An 19 year old guy getting together with his first love, was not a bright move. My GF came over while I was recouping from surgery. She walked into my bedroom to see Sally sitting on my bed hand my hand. She forbade me from seeing her again. That didn’t really work out. Eventually I had to choose. I married my GF. I figured God might return.

Sally wound up marrying a minister. After my divorce from my GF, I called Sally. She told me about her great marriage and kids. We were about to get off the phone and she said, “I fell in love with him because he was so much like you.” I responded, “Except for the ‘God’ part.” Sally laughed hard. She finally said, “Yes, except for that.”

81. Something terrible happened with you?I spent a year fighting a staph infection. Everyone including my doctor thought I’d not survive. That was in 2003. The experience changed me a great deal.82. You are locked up with your celebrity crush for days, what happens? I’d say, “Forget it, Jill. You had your chance.”

83. If you could wish something, what would it be?World peace. Obviously, I tried out for the Miss America contest.

84. Ever try to force someone to do something? Never forced, but encouraged strongly.85. When you are alone, what do you think about? The usually shit.

86. How was your first sex?Fun.87. What’s your favorite music genre? Rock. From Buddy Holly through The Beatles, classic rock through Fitz and the Tantrums…

88. Are you happy I only wrote 88 questions? I’m sorry that I stole them. Hope your week rocks!

Enjoy your weekend.
