About Me

About me... Well so far I guess I'm redundant.

They should give you some kind of format or questions to answer instead of just blankness. And yes, blankness IS a word. They should help you out a little bit, you know? Like those emails that come around once every couple of months. 1. What is your name? Meghan 2. What color is your hair? Brown 3. Do you sometimes feel like no one understands who you really are inside and if they just knew you, I mean, really KNEW you... well they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from falling in love with you? I mean, the real you? No.

Here's something someone said about me in a newspaper once: "...Near goth [and] wickedly gloomy, Meghan Hounshell's understatement and timing are unparalleled among her generation of yucksters. I am a sucker for the kind of joke that's a string of one liners, each building on and topping the last, and Hounshell's got that nailed." (Leslie Berman, The Times of Southwest Louisiana)

Thank you Leslie. Except, I'm not really goth. I'm just studying to be a mime.

My Interests

Settlers of Catan. Bang! Apples to Apples. Puerto Rico. Cribbage. Math. Science. Religion. Taffy. History. The future. Robots. Robots of the future. Unicorns. Unicorns of the future. Robot unicorns of the future. Vitamin Water. Crossword Puzzles. Cotton Balls.

I'd like to meet:

Conan O'brien. I have fantasies. Sick, sick fantasies. I'm a guest on his show. I am very charming. We just click, you know? The comedy is just rolling off both of us like we've been covered in a thin layer of plastic wrap. The pink kind. Right before the commercial break I say something hilarious, he retorts with an equally witty tag to my joke and I gently put my hand on his forearm while I laugh and look into his eyes. He says, "We'll be right back with Al Roker, stick around!" Cut to commerical. Conan leans over, smiling. "You give a great interview, Meghan." Thank you Conan. Thank you.

The science of it.

Hey Guys, I'm trying to post my robot song on my page, but when I try to listen to it, nothing happens. Will you give it a shot and tell me if you're experiencing the same thing? Thanks three people!...

I don't have the time, nor the money, to come up with a clever title for this blog

Just be happy I'm blogging at all. Suck it up and deal with it. I'm at Kinko's and I am very unhappy with this keyboard so I have a feeling this will be a very short journal entry. That's right, i sai...
