Not It

So Kelli thinks if she tags me on her blog I will actually participate in her little game; listing 5 insignificant and unimportant things about myself. Whatever! She doesn't know me very well, cuz I NEVER respond to tags. Hypothetically, though, if I did respond, that could be my first of the five things.

1) I don't do tags.
2) If I were to list another one, I might disclose that I'm a lyrical genius. I have a gift of memorizing song lines. From all decades and genres. Which would make me a really fantastic contestant on shows like "Remember the Lyrics" or the "Singing Bee."

3) I am extremely self-conscience when there is a video camera pointed at me, even when it's in my private living room. Which would make me a really bad contestant on shows like "Remember the Lyrics" or the "Singing Bee."

4) My brain is skilled at cataloguing the birthdays of all my current and past acquaintances. Example: Stacey from 5th Grade (June 11), all the Cheney kids (October), my first boyfriend (March 17)... don't tell Blake I remember that one.

5) Speaking of Blake, #5 could be that I am forever trying to outwit my husband. It's a constant battle between us of who is actually funnier and more clever. So I try to never laugh at him, you know, to give him the edge, and I feel triumphant when he laughs at my jokes. This argument may never be settled, but it's a fun one to debate.

Ok, Kelli, FINE! I guess I'll do the dumb tag. But don't anybody expect anything like this out of me ever again.

You and Blake are very funny and clever people. Just for you, though, I will try hard not to laugh at Blake either. At least in front of him. That is a cute picture of you.

I knew you could give me a chuckle! Thanks!!! And I'm not a tag fan either. Problem is, it was one of my former young women (katie) who tagged me, and I'll do anything in the world for my girls! The bigger problem is...they know it! I have a challenge for you though. Let's have a face off. Now let Blake be tagged and let's see exactly who is the funnier and more clever of the two Scoresbys! Sounds intense! kelli

I'm pretty 'lyrically advanced' too. Only you have to mine and Derrick's heads together since I don't do the 80's heavy metal rock bands, and he doesn't know much by way of alternative rock. I always beat the people on 'Don't forget the lyrics'. Perhaps we'll see if there is a board game version, and I'll take you on sometime! kelli

Jenna hates it when I laugh at Blake.

Oh I meant Don't Forget the Lyrics.

Jenna you totally crack me up! I laugh all of the time around you and maybe that is why I like you so much. :o) I loved this not it tag!!! I guess I don't know Blake very well because he seems more quiet and serious, so we'll have to hang out more often. I know my kids think that Conner is a crack up so I'm sure that's gotta make you proud parents.

Love the beautiful picture of you! You are very pretty inside and out! Keep the laughs coming

I think you meant self-conscious, didn't you?

jennaloha said...

I can always count on you,jeff, to point out my flaws.

JAZZMAN said...

Speaking of flaws, how's Blake?

Leslie said...

I liked reading this one Jenna, you should participate in tags more often, they suit you very well.

So Jenna keeps trying to get affirmations from the children that she's the funniest - Conner is always non-committal as he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but last night at the dinner table Claire told Jenna that she thought she was the funniest, then she got my attention and winked at me! Jenna caught her, but it was hilarious! I think Claire has my sense of humor. :)
