Here I am again, lurking around Amazon’s favorite people area, reading descriptions and upgrading humans. (I love that Amazon allows me to “upgrade” someone from a favorite to a friend. That’s just twisted enough) The Amazon “About me” blurb is an art form. I’m now officially embarrassed by mine and am off to rewrite.
Some favorites:
Lance “I am never content but always at rest. I am never happy but always satisfied. I am never lonely but always alone. I am Stinky Butter Tarts.”
Adam: “I used to like NWA. I used to like cheeseburgers. I used to like Frank Lloyd Wright. I used to like Philadelphia. I used to like skateboards. I used to like blondes. I used to like Deleuze and Guattari – without even understanding them. I used to like Sandra Bernhard. I used to like being in the Army. I used to like the color blue. I used to like ACT UP. I used to like staying up all night long. I used to like Armani.”
Anil: “I’m a plain brown rapper. ”
David: “I enjoy long walks and heated swimming pools. Lighting fires and watching the grass grow. What am I? Is that your final answer? ”
Derek: “Has anyone else noticed that Amazon brought the tabs back? Sigh. ”
Erika: “snork!”
Lane: “After everything I’ve done for you, THIS is how you repay me? ”
Todd: “I make stuff easy for people to use. I live in San Francisco. My favorite color is #ff6600. My hair defies gravity. I am the greatest lover the world has ever known. ”
Mike “Uh uh, not on MY sofa you don’t. ”
Michael: “I wear blue shirts. I drink orange juice. I drive a Volkswagen. I’m married. I live in a major metropolitan area. I’m in ‘management.’ And since 1996 I’ve purchased something from Amazon every 11.6 days, on average. ”
I’m also puzzling over how I got on Jef Raskin’s favorite people list (if it is that Jef? How many people are so efficiant they go to using only on “f”). Yes, yes, I admit it– I look at other’s favorite people list to look for my name.
You love me, you really love me!
