Jason Seiden tagged me — as did several others — for the seven-random-things meme that’s floating around the interwebs.
I am ending this now. Here are a few more random anecdotes about Laurie that no one really cares to know, but I’m not tagging anyone.
- I once used tweezers to remove a tapeworm from a cat’s butt (at an animal rescue).
- I was diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease in 2003 but it’s not a big deal and I manage through it just fine.
- I volunteered at the Chicago MCA with my best friend, A.Lo, and we walked out after someone’s bag was stolen from the coat check and the art museum took no responsibility for the theft.
- I am always in the market for really great furniture.
- I don’t burn candles because I’m afraid that my cats will knock them over and light my house on fire.
- I am an avid supporter of The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust.
- I believe in conspiracies more than science & facts. Conspiracies are more interesting to me.
There you go, mofoz.

Dudette, you’re making me feel guilty! (Not much, just a little.)
Props for using mofoz in a sentence. Next time, triple word score if you can string mo’ betta and mofoz together, like, “I think it’d be mo’ betta if I do all y’all mofoz a fave and end this.”
And, most importantly, good luck with the ear.
@Jason What? Don’t feel guilty. No probs on the tag. It’s quite a fun & popular meme and I am narcissistic enough to do it 100 times if I let myself…
PS – I don’t tell people about my Meniere’s because it’s so weird and only affects me at random, fleeting moments and then it’s fine. Even when it bothers me, I’m fine. It is more of an inconvenience. I was akshully being a little vulnerable writing about it — and now I’m hoping no one reads this post because even some of my BFFs don’t know about the Meniere’s. Then I have to explain it and how do you explain something that’s called a ‘disease’ that is really no big thang?
what did you do with the tweezers afterward? just curious.
@Jessica They are property of the animal rescue and were sterilized. (I hope.)
The experience? It was “developmental” for me.
I can’t handle lit candles in my house. If the house doesn’t burn down from them, then I’m sure one of the cat’s tails will get set on fire so let’s just not go there. No lit candles. Thank you, and good night.
Amen, Jenn.
