...tagging me with stupid internet memes. You are so dead.
But rather than incur the wrath of the mighty internets and its many tubes, I will comply.
Four Jobs I have had
1. Park Attendant - This was my first job. Did it for 3 summers at lovely Mariner Point Park. It really wasn't too bad; got to spend lots of time outdoors, walk around the trails several times a day, listen to tunes. Also I spent lots of time sitting outside our trailer and reading. I also did some work. Mostly hauling trash. Let me tell you; you do not want to deal with 8 overflowing 80 gallon trash cans full of half-empty cans of Natty Bo, crab shells, and ground beef, that have been sitting and cooking in the August sun for 6 hours. Additionally I learned far too much about 2 cycle engine tractor maintenance, since an ugly, day-glo orange tractor was our only working vehicle.
2. Retail Wage Slave - Probably the worst of the jobs here on the list, and done twice; once at a Barnes&Noble, once at a KB Toys. At least in both cases I was getting discounts on stuff I would've bought anyway.
3. Pizza Maker - At the great "Peace a Pizza." To this day that place still has some of the best pizza I've ever eaten.
4. Subway - Not the trains that go underground, the crappy sandwich place. Since I worked at one 5 summers ago, I have never...not ever...eaten food from a Subway.
Four Films I have watched again and again
1. The Big Lebowski - I could watch this movie every week, but if I did, the Official Fiance of the LBAM would probably leave.
2. Lord of the Rings - The extended editions. I have no idea how many times I have watched them. It will never be enough.
3. Star Wars Episode IV - I am a geek, after all.
4. Sin City - For the chicks, or for the badassery.
Four Places I have lived
1. Joppa, Maryland. Hey folks, it's the original seat of the colony of Maryland! Lots of history! (I did my Eagle Scout project on this).
2. Brighton, MA.
3. Watertown, MA. Known as "little Armenia," for the largest population of Armenian folk outside, well, Armenia. Faaaaantastic food around that area.
4. Annandale, Va.
Four Programs I love to watch
1. The Simpsons - Contrary to popular belief, this show has not jumped the shark. Maybe it sagged here and there, but what I've seen of the last two seasons has been great.
2. Good Eats - I have learned more about cooking from watching, reading, and listening to Alton Brown than I could possibly relate. Watch his show. Read his books.
3. Arrested Development - An absolutely fabulous sitcom that Fox killed, probably because their executives couldn't understand it.
4. Scrubs - Watch it in reruns with the fiance almost every night before bed. Great show.
Four Places I have been on vacation
1. London, England. My favorite city on earth. It's a bit expensive, but I'd live there in a heartbeat if I could afford it.
2. Alberta and the Northwest Territories, Canada. The less said about this the better.
3. Ocean City, Md. If you were born in Baltimore, it's required that you go there on vacation at least a few times. I never saw much of the appeal; it's an overcrowded tourist trap.
4. San Diego, Ca. Best place in the world to buy a winter house to spend a few weeks in February. This is on my "if I win a huge lottery" list of things to do. Seriously, nothing beats getting ON the plane in 15 degree weather, and getting off of it in 75 degree weather, walking out on a pier and eating fresh shrimp tacos while you watch dolphins in the surf. That was my introduction to that city. How could I not love it?
Four Foods I love to eat
1. My homemade parsley and mushroom risotto. To steal a phrase from Belkar, I am a sexy shoeless god of cooking. My fiance will back me up on this. Also, note; I said that before Belkar did. I stole his "I am a sexy shoeless god of war!" line while cooking one night. Then like 3 weeks later, he said it in the comic. Again...the fiance will back me up on this.
2. My homemade fried chicken. Soaked in buttermilk overnight, breaded in panko crumbs, deep fried. See above.
3. A good bison burger. Far superior to beef. More flavorful, better for you.
4. My dad's recipe for turkey stuffing. You've got to try it to believe it.
Four Drinks I love to consume
1. Beer. The clear favorite. I won't bother trying to list kinds. And you know what, Oak Ridge National Laboratory? Ya'll can kiss my hairy Irish ass. Obviously they've never tried the RIGHT beer.
2. Mead. Can you feel it in the air? It's Renaissance Festival time, folks. Oh yes. Time to get out the kilt.
3. Coke Zero.
4. Irish or English or Scottish Breakfast Tea. I know nothing about tea blends or types or styles or anything. I do know that usually if it says Irish, English, or Scottish breakfast tea I will like it.
Four Places I would rather be right now
1. A less expensive place to live than Northern Virginia.
2. London.
3. At a baseball game.
4. Hanging out with my dad. There really isn't ever enough time.
I'm not gonna tag anyone for this, because I don't even know four other bloggers.
