The Funky Meme ~ Read At Your Own Risk

Call 1-800-Lock-Up-The-Queen

Welcome to Funky Week with Mimi

According to this blog I have officially been in Funkland since....oh...say about Monday. And just when I thought it was safe to venture out into blogland with a smile, I find that I am still apparently hugging trees. In a blue funk. See?

So since I'm there and since you're here and we're trapped here together in the rubber blog room, why not make a meme out of my funk and call it a day.

If you're reading this, consider yourself tagged. You know the drill.
Maybe your answers will help my tree hugging self let go of the bark and step into the stress-free world of blogging once again (notice the twinge of sarcasm). Don't worry. I should be fine oh....say... by November. Just call the number at the top of your screen for more information.

The Funky Meme
1. Have you ever been in a funk? (ie: a mood)
Not quite like this one......let me think. 

2. Describe your first funk. What were you doing when it first came upon you?
I was minding my own business enjoying my summer when a light blue misty fog from heaven wafted over the castle. I surrendered to the fog. Now I'm funked.

3. Do you remember why you fell into a funk in the first place?
Yes. If I could forget it do you think I'd still be on day 5 of the longest funk in history? Wake up and smell the common sense.

4. How long did you stay in your funk?
Apparently not long enough to find the exit map. I'm still looking.

5. Did you ever do or say anything during your sophisticated pity-party that you regretted?
Yes. Being in a funk causes me to overreact, over-analyze, over-dramatize and generally drive my friends crazy. They call to make sure I'm not floating in the moat and then make excuses to hang up. Last night my friend called with exciting news and I wanted to whine. He told me, "Mimi. Snap out of it. F-U-N-K is one letter off from F-U-N. K?"
I think there may be a clue in there somewhere. But would I take advice from a guy who writes a humor blog??! 

6. When you feel a funk coming on, is there someone you can call and talk to should you find yourself - Lord forbid - in the throes of a wild funk? What do they say to help you?
I would call my mother but then I'd have to explain blogging, Technorati, and why I need to borrow her gas oven. Say to me? She would just hand me the matches. 

7. While in the throes of a proper funk is it best to:
a. Close your eyes and hug trees in the forest til it's over
b. Drink
c. Throw a hissy fit
d. Curse
e. Have a fling with a passing truck driver
e. All of the above

Does this answer your question??!!

8. Do you try to put on a happy face while you're funking? How's that working
for you?
NO. And if I hear "Cheer up! It can't be that bad" one more time I'm gonna slap somebody.

9. Do you have mood swings?
Do trees have branches? My moods even swing from the trees.

10. Has severe funking ever caused you to injure yourself?


Yes. I'm allergic to bark. And I really need to remember to bring a coat next time. It gets cold at night.

11. Do you take out your fancy funky frustrations on those you love when you're in a
mood or is it best to be alone and make yourself miserable instead?
Since the servants got sick of my whining and threw me out of the castle I don't have much say in the matter. See answer #8.
And pay attention!

12. If you saw someone having a funky fit in public would you....
a. call the blog police
b. lock up your children
c. offer to drive them to the nearest 12-step program
d. give them your Prozac
e. other suggestions? (and by the way, if you have any Prozac to spare, the address is 2005 Bloggingham Road, Banister)


13. Do you use unorthodox methods for dealing with your funk? Do you.....

a. change your purse
b. use humor
c. scream at the mailman just because
d. redecorate the dungeon cells



e. drink Green Tea



Right up until the mutiny I was busy discovering that paisley goes well with green mold. The prisoners would rather have food than curtains but they know better than to ask when I'm in a shhhh.....F.U.N. K?

14. Did you ever have a funk that lasted more than 7 days. How did you defunkify yourself?

I'm giving away Lifetime Dungeon Amnesty passes to the first 10 bloggers who can answer this question and give me directions out of here; but until then I have 3 more days and by golly I'm going to enjoy this funk until it's time to put her to bed. Why waste a good funk? That's what I always say.

For now I'll just write a silly meme and tag all my readers....if I have any left after this.


I think it might be working.

A little.
I hope this passes soon. I'm starting to "bark" at passing cars.
