Speaking of Viragoes ...

I've been meme-tagged by Dr. Virago of Quod She. This, my very first meme-tagging ever, is the meme of fours.

Four Jobs You've Had:

1. Women's clothing store clerk. (H.S. Nine Months. I was fired for telling a customer that I admired her bravery in verbally abusing a 17 year-old girl who was paid to pretend that customers could never be stupid. SO worth it!)
2. Nurse Assistant. (I can now tell anyone, anywhere that I have changed diapers on people older than they. Good curmudgeon practice, that.)
3. Telemarketer. (I was young, I needed the money.)
4. Secondary School English Teacher.

Four Movies You Could Watch Over and Over:

1. The Princess Bride (Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die! ~ that never gets old.)
2. The Sound of Music (PSA: If you sing any part of "Do-Re-Mi" on the streets of Salzburg, the natives will pelt you with Zemmeln. The more you know...)
3. Pretty in Pink
4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Four Places You've Lived:

1. The wrong side of the tracks in a snooty town on Long Island.
2. A basement apartment on the right side of those same tracks.
3. A Levitt-constructed L-Ranch in a town that was all "wrong side."
4. The upper portion of a Tudor-revival duplex. No tracks around here. Weird. I don't know who I am.

Four TV Shows You Love to Watch:
1. The Gilmore Girls (Dr. Virago watches this one, too)
2. Charmed
3. The Daily Show
4. Lost (Again, Dr. V. watches this. Hot guys without shirts, I mean c'mon!)

Four Places You've Been on Vacation:

1. London, England
2. Berlin, Germany
3. Ireland with a rental car ... everywhere I could go without risking getting shot. PS - All roads really DO lead to Dublin.
4. White Mountains, NH (a-yup)

Four Blogs You Visit Daily:

1. Ancrene Wiseass
2. Quod She
3. Mixing Memory
