Middle Name Meme
Middle name meme. Yes, Shelly at This Eclectic Life tagged me some time ago. Her middle name response amused me greatly.
THE RULES
1. You have to post these rules before you give the facts.
2. Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of their middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.
3. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog-post containing your own middle name game facts.
4. At the end of your blog-post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
5. Don’t forget to link back to the person that tagged you in the beginning.
As a child, I had no middle name… and there are times I was really grateful, but then my first drivers license actually had the word, “NONE” typed on it. I never forgave them for not just leaving it blank. I don’t like the word none: you know from previous posts, there are some words I just plain don’t like. So, in the spirit of not liking it, I chose words that aren’t flattering to me as a child, why not? I could have chosen the ones that showed me in a favorable light. There were plenty!
Noxious whiner - They enabled me.
Obstinate - Yes, I refused to clean my room - and guess who did it to keep me from getting a whipping? Mom…. yes, she enabled me.
Nincompoop - Well, don’t all kids feel like they are one once in a while?
Endearing - At least to my Mom and Dad when I wasn’t whining, though not to my brother. I had to put one nice one in.
Finally, on my drivers license after I got married, I got to use my maiden name. At last, I got rid of that other awful word. So, let’s see if I can come up with positive words for the latter half of my life, grin.
Marcia - I am who I want to be, and that would be me, Marcia.
Charitable - though not often enough, I procrastinate on that, too.
Loquacious - well, I have been known to be. (Wait, I was supposed to write good things.. Lovable, I am lovable, strike out loquacious.)
Energetic - I am lively and spirited. That I am.
Eager - I am eager to learn, eager to dream, eager to do something.
Safety freak - You thought I would say the other. Nope, that is not mine to judge, it is like beauty, it is by the beholder, grin. I am a safety freak and proud of it. Y’all may think I take it to the extreme, but I most likely think you don’t take it far enough.
Now, I am tagging Leon. It is time he participated in something and I happen to know he doesn’t exactly love his middle name. Guess he doesn’t want to be associated with royalty, although he is British.
I’ve totally lost track of who has been tagged, but I have decided to tag only men. So, Bone and Damien and Chris, I will tag the three of you, too. Why not?
And yes, I only tagged four, NONE has four letters…. grin. But I wanted to tag Brian, too, but I know he has a LOT to do this month and next. So, Brian if you are able, I’m tagging you, too…
And yes, Damien, one of the memes you tagged me with is coming next… in fact, it may be ready to post… Yikes, that tree falling was LOUD!
PS. our sweet neighbor hiding in the front yard is trimming his tree that he hasn’t had time to do, just so it will look nicer for our sale! I DO LOVE WASHINGTON state… even if our neighbor is from California… Washington just seems to attract nice people!
