I hum “Hail to the Chief” in the shower. I can say, “I love hairy women” in flawless German. I can’t argue without crying, or cry without getting embarrassed. I love to floss.
I sleep with one leg out of the covers, which can make some sleeping bags rather tricky. The movie, ET makes me cry. So does The Sixth Sense. And The Land Before Time. I have long legs and long fingers. I can bake without measuring.
I am fairly intuitive. I eat a banana almost every day at 3:30. I have never been pregnant. I have never seen The Godfather. I can’t curl my tongue.
I get nervous in small spaces. I don’t like roller coasters. Or raisins. I find it impossible to stay awake on airplanes. I believe in being gentle with people. I don’t like being patronized. I like autonomy. I hate being left alone.
I press the snooze button for an hour every morning. I am always early to work. I am also the first to leave. I need Tums, sunglasses and Chapstick. I crave constancy. I adore surprises. I snort when I laugh. I can’t make machine gun sound effects. I have never broken a bone.
I really do love to floss.
you are adorable and lovely and I will miss you if you go away from blogland……….
If you ever want to cure yourself of not having seen The Godfather, call me.
I just found your blog about a week ago, and already I find you charming and funny. I would be sad if you disappeared.
Sadly I can’t survive without Chapstick, either. And I’ve never seen the Godfather. I think that’s breaking a law or something. In fact, I’m almost positive that it is.
Another chapstick addict right here. *points to self* I just found your blog yesterday and I find myself browsing through the archives cause you’re just hilarious. Plus I have a serious addiction for New York City.
Please stick around.. on your own terms.
I am immensely relieved.
I could have sworn I was the only person in the civilised world who hadn’t seen The Godfather.
wow! i’ve never seen the godfather either. and et is my absolute favorite movie – even though i cry for about 2 hours straight.
also – raisins are gross.
love your site fish — keep up the good writing. or don’t. it’s okay no matter what.
If you had come to me when you began this blog, then the other bloggers would fear you. But let’s be honest. You never wanted my friendship in the first place. You came to New York to be autonomous. You worked hard, and the police protected you. Now you take Tums on the day of my daughter’s wedding and ask for new sunglasses and Chapstick? This I cannot do.
Dona Fish, what have I done to make you disrespect me?
I’ve never seen the Godfather OR the Goonies. I get a lot of flack for that.
I bake without measuring too. Were you taught that? I watched the women in my family and grew up not knowing about measuring to bake.
I so love to floss.
I learned to cook and bake without measuring too– from watching my grandparents cook. My mom cannot even make a recipe turn out right, so apparently this magical gift skips generations.
When you hum “Hail to the Chief” in the shower, do you think of that scene in the movie “Dave”? “Hail to the chief, he’s the one we all say ‘Hail’ to. Hail to the chief ’cause he keeps himself so clean! He’s got the power, that’s why he’s in the shower…” I hope I’m not the only “Dave” fan here!
P.S. Your blog is appointment viewing for me and I would miss it, but understand, if you moved on.
Yes!
“Hail to the chief, cause I’m the chief and I need hailing!”
Whether you stop or continue, you’ve accomplished something rare: A website and narrative that keeps thousands of people coming back for more.
Few people can do such a thing.
Can you whistle? Did you know that every time I click on your link, I sing, “This fish, this fiiish!” to the tune of Faith Hill’s “This Kiss?” Unstoppable.
Yes, I whistle. The theme to “Follow Me Boys.” While cleaning.
Never seen the godFather.
HATE to floss, but recently have started loving washing my face. Do it a couple times a day, especially after eating.
Field of Dreams hits me hard.
heidi! i do that too! i thought i was the only one. thank GOODNESS i am not.
Great site Fish. I’m new to it, and addicted already.
Give me an address and I’ll send you The Godfather on DVD. You can have a Marlon Brando Memorial Party and watch the movie. It’s awesome. I promise.
Luca Brasi sleeps with Heather.
hate flossing, bananas, have short fingers and toes. i love blistex over chapstick. but, i loathe raisins, have never seen the godfather, can cook (not bake) without measuring, have never been pregnant, and have never broken a bone.
Following suit:
I sleep in the shower. I can say, “I am the man in the chicken suit” in flawless French. I can’t argue without crying, or cry without getting embarrassed. I love to clean.
I sleep with one leg straight and one leg bent, which makes sharing a bed smaller than a king a challenge. The movie, The Little Princess makes me cry. So does Armegedon. I’ve seen The Land Before Time more than 200 times (I was taught how to control the VCR at 3). I have short legs and short fingers. I can bake, but I can’t cook to save my life.
I am very intuitive. I wake up almost every day at 5:40, though I usually go back to sleep. I have never been pregnant. I hate The Godfather. I can’t curl my tongue.
I enjoy small spaces. I love roller coasters. And raisins, especially in salads and oatmeal. I find it impossible to sleep on airplanes. I’m not good at being gentle with people. I don’t like being patronized. I like autonomy. I love being alone.
I press the snooze button for an hour every morning. I am always just on time to school. I am usually the last to leave. I need a watch, the pictures in my wallet, and Chapstick. I crave constancy. It’s very hard to surprise me. I snort when I laugh. I can’t make machine gun sound effects. I have never broken a bone.
I really do love to clean.
