Dammit, I've been tagged!

Damn you, Gempires! Damn you to hell! ;-)

So, I've been tagged, which means I A) Have to tell you six things I hate about myself, B) Have to tag six other people via their blogs' comment functions, and, C) Let the tagger know that I, the tagee, have completed the meme and so that if the blogsphere does explode, it 's clearly not my fault.

Okay, this should be easy, seeing as I have a deeply-ingrained sense of insecurity.

Ahem. Six things I hate about me.

1) My insecurity (duh!). I get pissed off with myself every time I seek validation from someone in an attempt to bolster my sense of self-worth.

2) The gap between my front teeth.

3) The fact that I keep being attracted to straight men, despite the fact that I think I exorcised my own internalised homophobia years ago (although in my favour, I haven't actually fallen in love with any straight boys for years).

4) My utter inability to save money, even for important things like rent, bills, and groceries...

5) The flipside of which is my annoying fondness for self-indulgence: buying a book or a cd or half a gram of speed or a bottle of good red or whatever, even when I know that I really shouldn't...

6.) My highly developed ability to waste hours surfing the net, downloading porn, reading blogs, commenting on message bands for obscure bands etc instead of actually doing anything creative, such as writing a new short story or a spoken word piece...or WORKING ON MY GODDAMN NOVEL!

That was easy! I laugh at memes! Ha ha!

And now I tag:

Hah-hah, you're it!

Wow! Honoured! Thanks!

I like your six ... very revealing and yes, they seemed to just roll of your (cyber) tongue. It's all just too easy, eh?

I think I'll find six things I hate about myself pretty easily, too.

I'll let you know when it's done. Hopefully within a week. (I have to do a coupla TV show reviews before then, you see. Such are the self-imposed rules and deadlines of my own blog.)

:)

Cheers!

and supposedly a gap between your front teeth means you're going to be rich. Madonna has one!
