Zahir
Monday, September 25, 2006
Zahir, which in Buenos Aires in 1939 was a coin, a ten-centavo piece, with the letters `N' and `T' and the numeral `2' scratched crudely in the obverse. Whomsoever saw this coin was consumed by it, in a manner of speaking, and could think of nothing else, until at last their personality ceased to exist, and they were reduced to a babbling corpse with nothing to talk about but the coin, the coin, always the coin. To have one's mind devoured by coins, that is a terrible fate, but to have one's mind devoured by the thought of a coin, that is strange and far more terrible. I can become obsessed, as we all do, but sometimes we can get obsessed over ridiculous things. What obsesses you? I can't seem to get anything done today. I am obsessed with doing nothing, I guess. So in the name of procrastination (as opposed to self-obsession), I leave you with a meme... ARE YOU:
1. A Cuddler? It very much depends…with whom, my state of mind, how cold or hot it is….I am high maintenance.
2. A morning person? NO (but I wish I was)
3. Are you a perfectionist? Again, it depends…most things, no, but certain things I insist on being perfect (like folded laundry).
4. An only child? I have an older brother and sister
5. Catholic: Nope.
6. In your pajamas? Yup.
7. Currently suffering from a broken heart? no.
8. Okay styling other people's hair? Children’s hair; I don’t know about adults…
9. Left handed? No..
10. Addicted to MySpace? Never used it; should I?
11. Shy around the opposite gender? No. I tend to be more shy around women than men. What does this say about me?...
12. Loud? I have the tendency to get loud, depending on my mood. But I can also be very quiet.
DO YOU:
12. Bite your nails? never.
13. Get paranoid at times? Not usually.
14. Currently regret something that you have said/done? I despise the idea of regret; I generally do not regret…and currently, no, nothing.
15. Curse frequently when you get mad? No; I tend to be the silent, fuming type.
16. Enjoy country music? Blech.
17. Enjoy jazz music? I love jazz; I used to play the saxophone and Charlie Parker was my music hero.
18. Enjoy smoothies? never.
19. Enjoy talking on the phone? Not really. Oddly enough, my mother is one of the few people I can talk on the telephone for an hour with, and wonder where the time went. Go figure.
20. Have a lot to learn? Don’t we all?!
21. Have a pet? Two cats. They’re idiots…
22. Have a tendency to fall for the "wrong" person? No.
23. Have all your grandparents died? Yes.
24. Have at least one sibling? Yes.
25. Have been told that you are smart? Yes. It makes me uncomfortable. But then again, most compliments make me feel uncomfortable.
26. Have had a broken bone? Unbroken thus far.
27. Have Caller I.D. on your phone? Of course!
HAVE YOU:
28. Changed a diaper? I have a diaper counter in my house; like my site counter…I think it’s up to 856,973 and still climbing.
29. Changed alot over the past year? I don’t know…I should probably put some thought into this, shouldn’t I?
30. Had friends who have never seen your natural hair color? My hair is my natural colour; never been touched. Ever. My hair is a virgin.
31. Had surgery? Wisdom teeth out.

The new blog is very beautiful!
Music obsesses me. Always. As far as obsessions go, I think I'm okay with that.
I started this meme...perhaps I shall finish because I like reading other people's answers.
PS 5:50 AM. really?
