The First Meme of 2007
If I hate memes so much, why do I keep doing them? They’re almost like crack. You keep telling yourself that this will be the last time, but then somebody offers you the pipe.
Actually, I’ve come to accept memes as a valid form of blogging. At first, the writer in me looked down on memes as “not real writing.” Just filler. But they do serve a purpose on personal blogs in that it gives some insight into the author. Kind of like an interview. And interview articles are definitely valid. (More on that in the future.)
Plus, sometimes writing memes spark a memory or make you reflect on something that otherwise would have been buried in your subconscious. Granted, some things are best left buried. (Like that time in Rio with a case of Jack Daniels, a squeeze bottle of Miracle Whip, Janice Dickenson, and those twin brother acrobats from Cirque du Soliel… Ahh…good times.)
Plus, sometimes memes are just fun to do. I got this one from Daniel at Rainbow Colored Glasses.
- Have you ever had sex with the opposite sex?
Well, of course.
- Who is the first person you came out to?
Hmmm…I guess it must have been my best friend, “J.”
- Are you out to your parents?
They have both passed on. So, I guess I should apply this to Granny. We have never talked about it, but I figure s must know something. You don’t live to be 89 by being stupid.
- Do you want kids?
I want kids far away from me.
- Do you have more gay friends or straight friends?
More straight friends.
- Were you out in school?
Nope.
- Is your best friend the same sex as you?
Yes.
- If your best friend is the same sex, have you ever kissed them?
I have kissed him on the top of his balding head in fun.
- Have you ever done crystal meth?
Nope.
- Have you ever been in a sling?
Never broke any bones.
- Have you ever done a 3-way?
Yes, with girls.
- Have you ever dressed in drag?
Too much candy.
- Would you ever date a drag queen?
I can’t imagine that I would, just cause I don’t think we’d have all that much in common. But then, you never know who you’ll fall for.
- Are you a top/bottom or truly versatile?
I am a top. Mostly because that is what people expect once my britches hit the floor. I don’t feel any strong urge to bottom. I don’t tend to feel that it in my hole (unless maybe I ate too much red meat). But, if it’s someone I really like and it’s something he really wants, I could do it. I just hope he’s not big.
- Have you seen an uncircumcised thingy?
Yep.
- Have you had sex with someone of a different race?
No. But only because I have not had the opportunity.
- Have you ever barebacked?
When I was young and stupid and fucking girls. In a committed long term life relationship I would.
- How many Cher CDs do you own?
Let’s see…that would be a big fat ZERO.
- Name your first true love?
Well…I’m still figuring out if it’s true love. But it would definitely be the first.
- Do you still talk to them?
Yep. And not nearly enough.
- Does size matter?
Not to me. But some of my dates might feel different.
- Biggest turn on?
Ass.
- Biggest turn off?
Whining.
- Ever been harassed because you are gay?
Nah.
- Worst gay stereotype that applies to you?
I’m neat.
- Ever been to a pride rally?
In this neck of the woods? There’s rallies…but not for pride.
- Would you marry if you could?
Don’t feel the need to have it put down on paper.
- Would you rather be rich and smart or young and beautiful?
Although money is not a big deal to me, I guess I’d say rich and smart.
- Do you sculpt your eyebrows?
Sculpt? Into what? A bust of Teddy Roosevelt. A swan? An ashtray?
- Do you trim your body hair?
Nope. A man has hair.
- Ever had sex with more than one person in a day?
Guilty.
- Ever been to an orgy?
Orgy? No. J/O party…yes.
- Have you dated your best friends ex?
No, but I have dated some girls my brother did.
- Would you vote for Hilary Clinton if she ran for president?
If I like what she has to say.
- Do you want monogamy in your relationship?
I insist on it. Without monogamy I would end up in jail.
- Do you believe in true love?
Oh, yes.
- Do you have any tattoos?
Nope.
- Do you have any piercings?
Nope. My ear was pierced for a while when I was a teenager. It was stupid.
- Would you date a smoker?
This is a tough one. I think there are much more important reasons to not date someone. But I have a lot of trouble kissing someone who smokes..
- Do you know anyone who has died from H.I.V.?
No. Don’t know anyone who has it either.
- Do you know what Stonewall was?
It was explained to me last summer.
- Wonder Woman, Xena, or the Halliwell Sisters?
Wonder Woman. Xena is too manly. I like women to be women and men to be men. And I don’t know who the Halliwell Sisters are.
- Strangest place you have had sex?
If you are having sex, no place is too strange.
- Strangest place you’ve woken up?
On top of the third level of scaffolding at work after a lunchtime nap when I had a boner from a dream.
- Are your best years behind or in front of you?
I used to worry that they are behind me. But this year has put someone in my path that makes me sure I’m just starting.
- Favorite porn movie?
Haven’t see enough to have a favorite.
- Are you in love now?
Not confident enough to say I am, not confident enough to say I’m not.
- Ever been in love with a straight guy/girl?
Nope.
- Did you ever have sex with them?
N/A.
- Have you ever been to a nude beach?
Nope. But I would. I love water and I love being nekkid.
- Have you ever been to a bath house?
Nope. I don’t think I would like that. I’m a little bit of a germ-a-phobe.
- Ever had sex in public?
In public places, yes. But not where anyone could see.

Your responses to this meme fill me with hope for you Tony. Hearing you say that the your best years are ahead is wonderful. See how your life can change for the better when you least suspect it?

I’m hopeful for you Tony. It sounds like you may be on the edge of a great adventure. My paternal instincts are coming out. Your attorney better treat you well, because I am sure you will be good to him. Every time I read your blog I am impressed with what a caring, decent guy you are.

#45 & #47 make me smile very much.
March 1st, 2007 at 1:03 pm
(I guess I’ll try again. Not sure what happened)
I was trying to say that number 45 and 47 make me smile.

Just a couple of comments: for the Halliwell sisters, see the WB show “Charmed”.
And while no one can say for sure, I suspect you probably do know people with HIV; you may just know that they have it. For that matter, it’s possible THEY don’t know they have it. I don’t mean that to criticize (you’re obviously smart and taking appropriate precautions in your personal life), but you might be surprised who you know that’s positive, even in rural east Tennessee.

I’m really happy for you. Love magic (even if you’re not sure yet) is so great. Bonding is the best!
March 2nd, 2007 at 6:08 pm
Almost spring and love is in the air. Even if you’re not quite sure, the process of figuring it out is wonderful too. I’m very happy for you, Tony.

excellent.
I may have to use this one.
March 4th, 2007 at 6:56 am
Well, it’s a fun meme and we know a lot more about Tony. Was worth my time!
March 4th, 2007 at 6:57 am
Put my wrong name the the preceding comment. OOOOPs.
March 4th, 2007 at 12:33 pm
You’ve got a good head on your shoulders, Tony.
