i want everyone to know that it took me more than a month to write this 101 random things about me meme...


In an effort to stop the emails (mostly from my grandmother, who seems to be a little obsessed with email forwards), as well as to let everyone know a little bit more about me, I have finally done it. I've finished one of those meme things. Sooo, let's kick the tires and light the fires:

1. I grew up in pretty much the same hometown as Fantasia Barrino.
2. The only food I loathe is egg salad.
3. I ride with my cell phone under my leg on vibrate so that I know if someone calls me over the loud music I play while I drive.
4. My favorite movie as a kid was The Goonies. I watched it so much that the VHS copy actually broke one day when my little brother was playing it. So I put him in the dryer and wouldn't let him out.
5. I've seen Aladdin, The Little Mermaid AND Beauty and the Beast - ALL in their Disney On Ice versions.
6. My favorite place to eat in LA is a Mediterranean food "hole in the wall."
7. I joined Myspace because of gang pressure. Add me and we'll be best Myspace buddies. Seriously. Do it. It'll be awesome.
8. Sometimes I just get an extreme urge to play Rollerball.
9. I once got a haircut at a hotel in Vegas and didn't remember any of it.
10. Someday I'm going to buy a Slip 'N Slide and spend forever finding the proper grassy area for it.
11. I think one of my windshield wipers wipes improperly. And, to tell you the truth, it's really freaking me out.
12. My 2nd favorite Corey/Corey movie is Dream A Little Dream. I even have the soundtrack With Richard Marx's "Rock On" on tape.
13. My favorite word is fiduciary.
14. I keep drinking Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper and I can't stop.
15. This site is my new favorite music site.
16. I didn't have a sweet sixteen party like those girls on MTV. I had mine at a bowling alley.
17. My favorite Atari game was Pitfall. But I was horrible at jumping over the lake with the alligator heads.
18. Rememember #14? Since writing that, I've gotten another DCVDP.
19. I worry that this blog has become too gossipbloggy.
20. I can't stand Kelsey Grammer.
21. I've had the same alarm clock since I was 12.
22. My favorite current band is The Black Keys.
23. I wish I could clone myself to comment on blogs I like more.
24. I still quote from Multiplicity and I don't know why.
25. "Hey Steve. Want some more pizza, Steve?"
26. See? Who would get that anyway?
27. I've lost three cell phones in the past year.
28. As a kid, I was extremely good at foosball. Now? Not so much.
29. In college, I flew out to LA and got wasted - all on Steven Speilberg's tab.
30. I don't mind bugs. I don't mind snakes. But I HATE rats.
31. I still have a portable CD player in my car.
32. This CD is currently in that player.
33. As a kid, my faves on TV were "Dukes of Hazzard" and Nickelodeon (especially "You Can't Do That On Television" and "Double Dare.")
34. If LA folks haven't been to the Museum of TV & Radio in Beverly Hills, you should. You can watch ANY TV SHOW you want!! It's amazing.
35. My dad used to look like Steven Seagal. So, as a kid, we'd go to restaurants and sometimes get VIP seating.

37. Remember that song "Cantaloop?" That song was awesome.

39. I have the cheapest ice trays imaginable in my freezer.
40. My neighbors must think I'm an extremely violent person b/c of #39.
41. I've always driven a Ford vehicle. In hindsight, a terrible idea.
42. When eating at a restaurant, I prefer sitting facing the door. Just in case of a fire. Or, you know, an asteroid.
43. I blame all of my childhood cavities on Skittles.
44. My senior year of high school, I had two Beta fish named G Love and Special Sauce. When I left for college, I had my grandmother take care of them. Her one instruction was that she had to talk to them using their proper names. That was fun.

Dude,

I think you have the coolest blog. Your 101 things about you make me sound like your clone. I have a Goonies poster hanging above my headboard, and I'm 24. I am also a fan of Corey/Corey and all the other things you mentioned. I think it is scary how similar we are. I don't mean to freak you out, it was just like I was reading my own blog when I randomly found yours. Keep it up because I'm wildly entertained by your writing and the content you choose to talk about. Awesome blog.

Leslie - Re: Swiffer Wet Jets, THAT'S WHAT I SAID!!!

Keith - Call them. They probably have it.

Blake - Dude. It's just like The Island. I'm taking your liver.

Manda - "My life's a shambles. I need pie." I can go on for days.

girlfriend? I thought you were gay. sorry.  



Posted by Blogger Justin on 7:00 PM

Meme - Mmmhmm.

Mary Mo - The scene in TMNT 2 where they bust in on the Vanilla Ice concert might be the best scene ever put on film.

Amy - Did not.

Jenny - About 6 ft?

Kelditty - Nope. Not gay. Huge surprise, I know.

I know someone who was on Situation: Comedy. Does that help?

The "Out of 5" music site you mentioned(#15) does the music ever change or is always the same music? Just thought I'd ask. I enjoy the current music on the covers that eclipsed the originals but now I'm hooked and want more!

You're very brave and have a helluva sense of humour to be that open. And I'm with you on the ice cream cake. Normal cake is so overrated. Cool blog.

//I keep my phone in my pocket on vibe/ring so I can feel it ring as well when I'm blasting music in the car.//

See, I just sit on mine. I love it when people call me.

I've been blogging for 3 years, and I STILL haven't done the 101 things meme. Beat THAT!

Don't fight it, Cory.

You loved "The Red Pony." You love "My Little Pony." And ponies in general.

I shouldn't read your blog at work. I'm cracking up in my cube and am probably going to get in trouble. Then you'd be able to add #102 to your list - My blog once got a girl fired.
