Meme

I was tagged by the fabulous I'm Just Being Me for the Six (UN)spectacular Things about Me meme.

I just have to ask...how do you say it? Is it "meme", like mimm or mee-me or memm-E? What does this word mean? It seems knowing this sort of thing should be a pre-requisite for being a blogger (well, having a blogger account).

And now...for the six things.
1. Frogs and turtles make me nauseated. Frogs are squishy which makes me cringe. That turtles can withdraw all their limbs inside an attached little cover is just creepy.

2. I drove cars with manual transmissions from 1991 until 2007. Even now, I kinda miss it.

3. Mr. Lipstick and I went sky-diving once. Best part...standing in the door of the plane, looking down at your toes, and just seeing clouds beneath you.

4. I hate to go to bed early-even when I'm exhausted.

5. I still miss cheerleading, and I only did it junior and senior years of high school.

6. I have been in love with Sylvester Stallone for 27 years.

There you have it. Told you it was UNspectacular.

I'm going to tag all bloggers everywhere. They will, of course, know this because they are hanging out here. Mostly I want to hear from my bloggy buddies FlowerGirl and Slacker Momma.

Thanks for asking about the meme thing. I always wondered too.

Hey---memes are units of info that can be passed from one person to another just by talking about them, or taking an action that can be imitated by someone else. A lot of pop culture becomes "pop" in this fashion...
Love the blog!

Thats hysterical about the turtle!

FlowerGirl said...

You've gone skydiving?? That's totally cool!! I didn't learn to drive a manual until I got married. You're right. I miss it.

I'm going to geek out about knowing that you've gone skydiving. That's unbelievable! You are a brave girl and you must trust him implicitly!!

I was going to say that meme must be some sort of evil google thing like the 'word verification' in preparing us for a new vocabulary...

I'd like to skydiving in theory, but I think I'd be too scared once I got up there. You're a brave soul.

Being a total nerd, I googled meme once. It rhymes with theme.

I'm off to think of unspectacular things about myself.

Oh...and to answer your question...my mom made the cookie favors for E's party. They were basic sugar cookies frosted with icing and sprinkles.
