I saw this on Kati's and Annie's blogs and figured I'd give it a shot. My brain turned to mush about an hour ago, so I'm pretty sure this is all the thought I can handle right now.
Google "{your name} likes to" (with the quotation marks) and see what the first 10 hits say about you.
1. Lacy likes to swim.
2. Lacy likes to put on great fights.
3. Lacy likes to roll up his sleeves, cock his fists and draw a line in the dirt with his toe.
4. Lacy likes to color, play with her dolls and to have someone read stories to her.
5. Lacy likes to sleep on or near me.
6. Lacy likes to take a handful of notes and deliberate over them, letting listeners share the tension in each choice and then breaking into lilting melody.
7. Lacy likes to hang around with her family and be where the action is.
8. Lacy likes to ride this. (Apparently "this" is a bicycle.)
9. Lacy likes to hide under the bed to make ball playing more fun.
10. Lacy likes to tip, not hip you.
And in case there were any doubt that I have a truly terrible name, responses 1, 5, 7, and 9 were in reference to dogs and cats with the same name. Super. Although I guess that's better than the only other alternatives for my name. You know, obvious answers like: Lacy likes to pole dance. Lacy likes to strip.
Great choice of name, Ma. Truly inspired.

The World Has Turned and Left Me Here
Okay, someone tagged me with this on Facebook, but rather than be a part of a 25 Things-style epidemic (again), I'm posting it here instead.
I wasn't going to post it, but I was just bored enough the other night to try it and it actually came up with some interesting results. Henceforth, if you're interested, here goes:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Put your iPod or other music player on shuffle. (The instructions actually said "Put your Zune on shuffle" when I got this. Who the hell owns a Zune? I changed it. I mean, really.)
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!
4. Tag if you like, but it is by no means compulsory.
IF SOMEONE SAYS "IS THIS OKAY?" YOU SAY:

Hell (read: "High School") Tag
1. Did you date someone from your school? Date? No. I did however help my friends stalk people... (You know who you are and you know who you stalked...)
2. What kind of car did you drive? No car now, no car then.
3. What was the most embarrassing moment of HS? The whole affair was pretty mortifying, as I recall (which I don't, really--I've repressed those memories rather well, it seems). I don't think this counts as my most embarrassing moment, but it was cringe-worthy. We were all at an assembly and some poor guy on stage was delivering a comedic monologue or something. It was kind of boring, sure, but our socially inept tag-along Dallas went way too far. So this poor guy on stage is going on and on and right before it gets to the punchline, Dallas yells, "You suck!" loud enough for the whole auditorium to hear. Needless to say, it was inappropriate, mean, and completely ruined the punchline to the story. Everyone in my group slunk down in their seats and covered their faces in an "I don't know him" gesture and a collective groan arose from our row. The poor sap finished his monologue, which completely fell flat, and scurried off stage. Smooth, Dallas. Real smooth.
4. Were you a party animal? Uh, yeah, those Catch Phrase parties got out of control...
5. Were you considered a flirt? "Oh, you, hehehe!" Yeah, no.
6. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? Are those the only options? Really? Thankfully, none of the above.
7. Were you a nerd? I was on the debate team, in the Honor Society, took nothing but AP classes, and was valedictorian (although Davis High didn't really have such a distinction). You be the judge.
8. Were you on any varsity teams? Does debate count? It does now. Why yes, yes I was!
9. Did you get suspended/expelled? Given that there's no an anti-cynicism policy (that I know of ) that's punishable by suspension or expulsion, I don't think this was ever much of a threat.
10. Can you still sing the fight song? I don't think I'd even recognize the fight song if I heard it. Let's just say debate tournaments had slightly fewer slutty cheerleaders in attendance than sporting events (annnnd therein lies the appeal).
11. Who were your favorite teachers? Ma Barker, Hyer
12. Where did you sit during lunch? My group had a designated table in the lunch room (designated by all as "the loud table"... as opposed to the "cool table"), but we went out to eat a lot of the time.
13. School mascot? Davis Dragons (that's my story and I'm sticking to it)
14. Did you go to homecoming, and with whom? Home-com-ing?
15. If you could go back and do it again, would you? What the hell kind of question is that?! Woe is the sorry soul who would actually go back and do it again. To all those who peaked in high school, may the real world have mercy on your income.
16. What do you remember most about graduation? I'm free! I'm free! That's all I remember.
17. Where did you go senior skip day? I'm willing to wager sleep was on the docket.
18. Were you in any clubs? I think debate was the closest I came to an actual club... Well, that and I was the treasurer for 4H, of course.
19. Have you gained some weight since then? I have weighed within a couple pounds of my current weight since I was 16. I can still wear anything I ever wore in high school
20. Who was your prom date? This questionnaire appears to be pretty shamelessly geared toward people who weren't complete losers and I resent that! Where are questions like, "What grade were you in when you got too tall to be stuffed into a locker?" and such obvious classics like, "After breaking the curve, which would you prefer: swirlies or wedgies?" I mean seriously, who wrote this thing?
21. Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion? Oh, lord no. The only appeal a reunion holds for me would be leering at others and I can do that from the comfort of my own home.
22. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself? Don't go to class as often, start more fires, trip more cheerleaders in the hall, and take up drinking (although as far as Virginia is concerned, I've already got that last base covered).
Tag some people: Lisa and Bree
2. What kind of car did you drive? No car now, no car then.
3. What was the most embarrassing moment of HS? The whole affair was pretty mortifying, as I recall (which I don't, really--I've repressed those memories rather well, it seems).

The One and Only
Annie, that saucy minx, has tagged me... Here I am, the one and only...
I am... taller than a mountain. Deeper than a sea. Oh wait, there's a chance that's Rivers and not me. Let's see, I am... snarky and cynical. On my fifth grade semester evaluation whateverness, under "Room for Improvement," my teacher wrote, "Be less cynical." Which, given that my cynicism goes back that far, I have to assume it's congenital and there's nothing I can do about it.
I know... I'll never be the dynamic, accomplished, fulfilled, successful person that I'd like to be.
I want... the planet to stop melting.
I once... was offered (read: threatened with) the prospect of hooking up with some random Russian guy that Milana tracked down online (To Catch a Predator: The Moscow Edition, where Chris Hansen offers the guy vodka instead of lemonade).
I wish... I were talented.
I hate... George W. Bush. What a slimeball. He won't be missed. Here's hoping Cheney takes him hunting next time... I also hate my name. Trixie, Bambi, Candy and I will be performing later tonight (bring a stack of ones with you), or so it would seem.
I miss... the total lack of responsibility that comes with childhood, and which isn't appreciated till it's long gone.
I hear...the second season of Pushing Daisies is going to be off-the-hook fantastic!
I crave... stories (preferrably full of scandal and intrigue).
I search... dictionary.com for definitions at least a few times a week.
I wonder... if I'll ever have the kind of life I've always wanted.
I regret... not going away to college somewhere (anywhere) far away from Utah.
I care... about very little that's actually important.
I always... look forward to lunch on Saturday.
I am not... over my quarter-life crisis yet...
I believe... people are lying to me when they say I'm attactive (seriously, peeps, I appreciate the sentiment, but the opposing evidence is just so overwhelming).
I dance... around issues I don't want to address directly.
I sing... along to musicals, truly the purest form of expression in existence.
I don't always... tag people specifically (see below).
I win... the award for "Most TV Viewed in a Single Evening".
I listen... to my ipod rather than the people yammering away on the bus.
I can usually be found... suffering from ennui.
I am happy about... the fall TV season starting up soon.
I tag.... whomever (see above).
Late addition: I never.... proofread, spellcheck, or read over my blog posts, so if these are riddled with errors, so be it.

I've... been... taaaaaaagged! I'm melting, I'm mellllting!
A = ADVOCATE FOR: The environment, and on a related note, population control. I'm also quite the advocate for TV (obviously)--I'll happily and capably go toe-to-toe with any of those elitist "Oh, I don't watch TV" people who are always dripping with supercilious disdain and an inexplicable superiority complex. Bring it!
B = BEST FEATURE: Oh geez, way to go for the jugular with only the second question... Ummm... I'm a pretty good liar? I'm not sure that's a good thing, but it sure comes in handy.
C = COULDN'T DO WITHOUT: My mother. My tramampoline (intentionally misspelled). TV!!! Lunch on Saturday (ahh, something to look forward to...) :)
D = DREAMS AND DESIRES: Hmmm... As far as actual, attainable dreams and desires are concerned, I'm not I have any... As far as completely implausible, unattainable dreams and desires.... I've always wished I were talented. There's really nothing that I do that's special or unique and there certainly isn't anything I do better than everyone else. I've always wanted to play an instrument or write a novel. Oh, and of course, sing and dance on Broadway (now if only I could sing or dance...)
E = ESSENTIAL ITEM: Well, this kind of goes hand in hand with the "couldn't do without" category, so I'm going to say that a lack of redundancy is an essential item for answering this question in any sort of meaningful way.
F= FAVORITE PAST TIME: Watching TV. Sleeping. Running. Interrogating people with invasive, inappropriate questions... God, I'm sounding more and more pathetic with each passing question.
G = GOOD AT: Not much... We'll go with snark.
H = HAVE NEVER TRIED: Much of anything. I'm not much of a doer... Let's see, something specific... I've uh, never been to medical school.
I = IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS: I'd quit my job. I would so quit my job. And never ever get a new one. I'd never have to wake up early again!!! Saints be praised and hallelujah!
J = JUNKIE FOR: Swedish Fish. DVD maratons. A dilectable combination of the two...
K = KINDRED SPIRIT: I'm not totally sure I have one, but there are certainly a few contenders: Beckee (one and the same, she and I), Annie (without whom my Saturdays would completely suck), and Ann (whose coattails are the smoothest ride in town...)
L = LITTLE KNOWN FACT: I love little furniture. I love those little kids' chairs that are just barely big enough for an adult to fit in. They're just more comfortable... I don't know why...
M = MEMORABLE MOMENT: I'm picking this particular moment because for some reason I've remembered it, clear as day, since I was 5 years old. I was in kindergarten and we were in the library (you know, that big sink hole with the steps for you to sit on?) and we had a guest speaker. He was a judge and he was trying to explain to a bunch of 5-year-olds what it means to be prejudicial. He asked us, "Can you kids tell me some reasons that someone might treat someone else differently? Why they might not treat them equally with others?" Well, I chimed in with, "Gender." He kind of balked and looked at me strangely. I was confused and assumed he thought that that wasn't a good answer. So he said, "Which means?" And then I just thought he was stupid and didn't know. So I said, "It's whether you're male or female." And he balked again. Then I thought he was really stupid. Or that he thought that was a bad definition. He looked at me strangely again and then moved on. I was so irked. I just kept thinking to myself, "Hey! That was a good answer! Don't you look at me in that tone of voice!" It wasn't until much much later (we're talking like, years later when I thought of this incident again) that I realized that he didn't think my answer was bad at all, he probably just didn't expect a 5-year-old to come up with "gender," and was thinking more along the lines of "cooties."
N = NEVER AGAIN WILL I: Send an email without checking the address line a few times (or, depending on the content, 10 or 20 times...)
O = OCCASIONAL INDULGENCE: Boston Creme Pie
Q = QUOTE: Michael: "Peter, you're in deep shit. You were supposed to come in on Saturday. What were you doing?" Peter: "Michael, I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be." --Office Space
R = REASON TO SMILE: Puppies. Good stories, fully laden with gossip. Intrigue. Scandal.
S = SORRY ABOUT: Not being a more interesting person. I hate it when people ask me what I did over the weekend and I've got a whole lotta nothing to report.
T = TAG SOME FRIENDS: Beckee and Bree
U = UNINTERESTED IN: Sports (gag...)
V = VERY SCARED OF: Global Warming. Failure. Which means I'm pretty much a constant wreck...
W = WORST HABIT: Procrastination.
X = X MARKS MY IDEAL VACATION SPOT: London
Y = YESTERYEAR DECADE OF CHOICE: I'm not sure what aspect this question is regarding, but I think I'll go with the 1960s. Or the 20s.
Z = ZODIAC SIGN: Virgo
B = BEST FEATURE: Oh geez, way to go for the jugular with only the second question... Ummm... I'm a pretty good liar? I'm not sure that's a good thing, but it sure comes in handy.
C = COULDN'T DO WITHOUT: My mother. My tramampoline (intentionally misspelled). TV!!! Lunch on Saturday (ahh, something to look forward to...) :)
