Tagged! Twice!
Life’s been crazy again with all the end of the school year stuff going on. The monsters are in school until June 12th, and you better believe I’m counting the days. Why does life always have to happen at once? Hrm.
Seems while I wasn’t looking, I got tagged twice. Ok… catching up with those first!
Meme #1
We’re playing Telephone again, only this time Alice is calling it “Whisper.” So you can’t pound the keys–type lightly or the spell will be broken.
The rules:
1. Make a change in the paragraph below. It can be as little as a single word or almost every word, so long as we can still recognize the paragraph you received from the person who tagged you ( me, Kaige), not the original paragraph (by Alice).
The paragraph I wrote based on Andi’s:
He came from the bathroom, a plunger in one hand and a tool chest in the other. His name was Mario, but she’d always called him El Cabron. She said he could ¡vete a la mierda! Instead of cursing her, he took her in his arms and plumbed her depths.
The paragraph I wrote based Dana Belfry, Kelsey Simmons and Jennifer Leeland
3. Also link to the person who tagged you ( me ) so the chain will not be broken.
4. Go to the original paragraph at Alice’s Restaurant and let her know you did it so she can link back to you. For extra credit, head over to http://AliceAudrey.wordpress.com around June 9th for the contest based on this meme.
You could win a $20 gift certificate!
Meme #2
Dana added to my obligations today. But it seems like a quick easy one and to do it, I had to do the other one first.
This one is called the 1-2-3 tag (hey, stop complaining it’s a short one!) and it goes like this:
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people: Bethanne, Kat Oxley, Gina Ardito, Dayna Hart and Andi (hey, fair’s fair).
From Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother
Dad was driving me nuts, though.
“You’re being paranoid, Marcus,” he told me over breakfast one dayy as I told him about the guys I’d seen the cops shaking down on the BART the day before.
“Dad, it’s ridiculous. They’re not catching any terrorists, are they? It’s just making people scared.”
Luckily, I was a bit farther into the book than this. I’m really enjoying this read — very techie and very liberal, but the narrator’s voice flows so smoothly through the minefields of current politics.
Oh.My.Gosh you tagged me back! How could you, did I learn NOTHING in third grade? I was supposed to shout “tag, no tagbacks!” FOILED!
*shakes head sadly*
Guess I know what Friday’s blog will be.
Hehe. At least it was with a different meme!
Um… Kaige? Where’s your paragraph?
Hah, hah, hah! I LOVED, absolutely LOVED, your take on the paragraph!
Ohhhh, you evil girl.
I can’t stop laughing.
Bwahahahahaha!
Oh Kaige you tricky trickster! *shakes fist*

Well, at least I got the easy one this time. I’ll have it posted tomorrow (on my new blog: http://ginaardito.blogspot.com/)
Thanks for the blog fodder for Friday. What would I do without you? LOL!
Excellent paragraph!
I’m having trouble with my computer right now, but I’ll link up to you ASAP.
*sigh*
Oh, you…
I’m attached to you in two ways… once for the book excerpt… then indirectly through your plumber and Kelsey’s cowboy? Or something…i’m a little confused. LOL
I linked to you here: http://aliceaudrey.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/echo-of-a-whisper/
Mmmmkaaaay. Me do.
My, my…this is an interesting little meme here, Kaige. 🙂 Kinda naughty. 😛
BTW, don’t forget to check out Alice’s blog today for the contest. 🙂
And Alice (when you read this)…this is the one!! 😛
Cool! I was hoping Alice would pick yours, it’s too friggen funny. Yaaay, Kaige!
Especially if you know the Spanish, eh? I was very surprised she picked this one, I didn’t even have to look at my post again to know it was this one. I’m glad you guys liked it. 🙂 I’m surprised only you two have played though. Must be a slow Monday?
Slow Monday, slow game! Seriously, what’s so hard about it? Well, I’ve got a few day to get people here. We’ll see.
