Word Perv

The Life and Shenanigans of Courtney Birst

Tagged, again. Dammit.

So I recently got tagged by Helmet to do another damn meme. Much like Helmet, I’m not a huge fan of memes, but still feel obligated to do them when tagged. I blame my mother for this disgusting desire to please people.

So the meme. At first it seems relatively simple, for it’s a list of 8 things I want to do before I die. The reason this is actually difficult for me is I already have this damn list posted on my website. And now I have to come up with 8 original and unique items that aren’t already listed on the aforementioned list?! Lovely. Great. Thanks a lot Helmet for all the pressure. I’m ssssoooo tagging you with the next one I get. This might become a meme war.  

But it gets worse because Helmet’s list is great. In fact, #7 is my favorite: Being certified as the world’s only Ninjirate (Ninja and Pirate), I would like to lead an elite crime fighting team throughout Canada to make it safe again. (or to wear a cool costume).

How can a girl top that? And why can’t I too be a Ninjirate?! I wanna help save Canada. Or at least get the costume. And I’m already a part of a Super Hero Team, so see, I’ve already got the cape!

Okay. Enough whining, here’s my list:

1) Become wealthy enough so when I donate money to my alma mater they are obligated to name a building after me. Ya know, The Word Perv Library…filled with thousands of copies of my book of course!

2) Christen my backyard without setting off my incredibly sensitive motion light, thereby alerting my neighbors of my activities.

3) Wear a tiara to work, pretend as if it’s normal, and not answer anyone unless they address me, “Your Highness”.

4) Have an ewok for a pet so he can build me a kick ass tree fort.

5) Finish in the top three in a race. Because I’ve finished 4th in the last few short races I’ve ran and they only announce the first three finishers. I wanna hear my name announced.

6) Attend an Olympic game wearing the most obnoxious red, white, and blue attire I can find.

7) Learn all of the lyrics to Billy Joel’s song “We Didn’t Start the Fire”.

8 ) Never complete another meme.

And now, dear friends, I apologize in advance for tagging you. But if I had to do it, so do you! I’m tagging Jen (because she’ll gladly do it!), KP (because he’s not posting much and he clearly needs help with finding a suitable topic), Millie (because this might be a little sunshine in the dark place she’s in), Ben (because Canada was mentioned in this post so he gets tagged by default!), Mel (because boys are stupid! Throw rocks at them!), Lauren (because she’s had one too many posts about weddings in the last couple of weeks!), List 5 (because you can modify this stupid meme to “5 things…” from the “8 things…” it currently is.), and last but not least, Wendy (because she’s got enough craziness going on in her life, maybe this will be something fun entertaining enjoyable silly she can do). Love you all. Have fun. And again, my apologies.

  2. First of all let me start off by sayin that a Ewok as a pet would just be awesome.

    I ran across your blog spot this morning while i was signing up for a soup cooking class. (What can I say I LOVE SOUP!) So i decided to peak through and check it out. Glad i did to say the least. Thanks for the entertaining read.


  3. Wait, you DON’T love hearing about weddings? :P Oh alright I’ll do it (and very angrily because I too dislike memes.) I love that yours are all fun. And let me tell you, you totally stole one of my greatest goals (as seen on my facebook profile.) Learning all the lyrics to “We Didn’t Start the Fire?” Yes, please!!
