One year later I was transferred to the moon.

Posted out of curiosity--maybe this meme will be less threatening....

Invent a memory of me and post it in the comments. It can be anything you want, so long as it's something that's never happened. Then, of course, post this to your journal and see what an interesting life you might have had in a parallel universe.

Edit: After only half an hour it's already just as popular. (:

It was the tango that did it, I swear to this day it was not my fault. The cool marble floor begged to be danced on, and the band didn't help, with their tuxes and rogueish coiftures. I don't know exactly what possessed me to snatch that long stem rose out of the central vas and beg you to dip me, but as your tails and my gown swirled across the floor, I knew that the devil invented the dance...

I was at a film premiere in Los Angeles when I looked over the head of Jessica Alba to find a simply wonderful dress made of the tatters of bathrobes. Next to the woman wearing it, you were sitting, in a fabulous Nightmare Before Christmas t-shirt, and pajama pants with feet. Upon waking up the next morning in my hotel I found out Joan Rivers absolutely loved your outfit, and the diner where we had gone to coffee after the film was the new LA Hipster hot spot.

If only we could re-live those nights, eh? ;)

This should have happened

You brought that chocolate thing and we ate it squatting in the grass in front of the movie theatre. I think it was supposed to be frozen, but we'd waited too long to eat it and it dripped down our forearms as we tried to pick up squishy, melting chunks. I think you'd called me that morning and told me to bring spoons, but I had forgotten. We laughed so hard, chocolate dripping into our sleeves and onto the grass. After, we tried to clean ourselves up with scratchy paper napkins we'd pilfered from the sandwich shop, but we both still had chocolatey smears on our elbows when we went in to see the film. I remember trying to suck the dried chocolate sauce from between my fingers and watching you laugh at Myrna Loy on the screen.

I never knew you'd kept your CDL license current until you broke through the warehouse doors, hazmat lights spinning, singing along with Merle Haggard and chewing on a leaf of genuine Alabama grass. Your timing was impeccable (how did you know that the Archduchess and I would be taken immediately to the Frosty Freeze warehouse immediately after our abduction from the Grand Ball?). When you kicked open the passenger door and extended one hand, it was like you were a knight in shining armor; a modern, hayseed Clovis. I haven't ever laughed as hard as I did that night, gatecrashing through customs on the Chilean border while blaring 'La Cucaracha' on the hazmat horn.

I'd spent months in preparation, one does not simply walk into the Shah's harem uninvited. I must have spent a fortune in bribes to every opium addicted eunich in the palace to make it into the innermost sanctum. My experience as a bellydancer didn't hurt either. Ingratiating myself to the khanum was the toughest part, her son might sit on the throne, but we all knew it was his mother that ran the show. And I was positive she'd have you tucked away like some precious gem, a treasure for her eyes alone.

Sure enough, as the baby-faced guard ushered me through the secret latticed panel to the khanum's sanctum, I laid eyes on you. The "Mother of the World" certainly had good taste, though I thought she'd gone a bit heavy on the kohl tracing the delicate edges of your soulful eyes. You seemed a bit startled, then relaxing back into the silken pillows that all but covered the floor you drawled, "What took you so long?" I wasn't quite sure whether to kiss you or punch you.

D00d! Remember that time with that guy? You know, the one with the head and the two arms? He did that thing, and then you did that other thing and we were all like "whoa" and it was sooooo awesome!
