Two Memes

Quite a while ago, Bunny's Mom http://vietnambabybabybaby.blogspot.com/ tagged me for the "Middle Name" meme, and I've been all angsty and conflicted about playing because my middle name is pretty unusual - which combined with my first name (which I may have mentioned on occasion on this blog) - makes me readily identifiable to any freaky stalker types. So, I'm playing along with a middle name that isn't mine, but, would have been mine, had my parents named me Jennifer as they originally intended. (Which they didn't, since something like half of the parents of girls the year I was born named their daughters Jennifer. Evidently they were all obsessed with a movie called "Love Story" - in which the character named Jennifer, played by Ali McGraw, tragically DIES after marrying her One True Love, played by Ryan O'Neil. Which I think goes to show you that the mothers in the 70's were kind of twisted and tragic somehow.)


Anyway, I'm told I was going to be Jennifer Grace. So, here goes, five character traits of me, starting with the letters of the middle name I wasn't given:

G - goofy

R - resourceful

A - affectionate

C - concupiscent

E - emphatic
