Curses Memed Again
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008
I was memed by Lola Audu of Grand Rapids Michigan: Moi??? I’ve Been MeMe’d???
Lola was memed by Linda Scanlon of Fort Worth Texas: Moi??? I’ve Been MeMe’d???
Linda was memed by Ginger Wilcox of Marin County California: MEME- It shouldn’t be about ME, but today it is…
What is a meme? Joseph Ferrara on Sellsius°Real Estate Blog defined meme:
“A meme (rhymes with dream) is a catch phrase representing a contagious idea that spreads virally in a culture, like transparency, Web 2.0, Long Tail or maybe unzillowable. The word comes from the Greek meaning “mimic”. In the blogosphere, it’s a game of topic tag. You answer the topic question and pass it on to others to do the same. “
Seven random things about me…
1. I was the Mardi Gras Queen a couple of years ago. My office Central Ohio real estate office celebrates Mardi Gras. Happy Fat Tuesday…
2. I am very, very good at board games. Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit etc. I don’t play cards… can not remember how a game is played, one time to the next … I just don’t get it.
3. I took guitar lessons for years and can not play. I can’t read music. I can’t tune a guitar. I could play chords if someone would tune the guitar for me.
3. I don’t eat wheat. I am gluten intolerant. That means no Italian restaurants… No pasta, no pizza… but it also means no Chinese restaurants… lots of soy sauce has wheat. I eat a lot of Mexican food thanks to corn tortillas. There is gluten free pasta, gluten free soy sauce, gluten free bread, cookies, crackers etc.
4. I cheat a lot…on the gluten free diet. If you ever see me eating pizza or a doughnut slap me upside the head. I will be pay for eating it later but I don’t get as sick as some people do obviously or I’d just say no to wheat, barley, rye etc.
5. I’ve lived in Milwaukee WI, Waukesha WI, Madison WI, Green Bay WI (twice), Rockford IL, Akron OH, West Carrolton OH (Dayton area) and Columbus OH. I worked at a Girl Scout camp in Central Wisconsin one summer too, so I guess I lived there.. I think the mailing address was Westfield WI.
6. My middle name is Rose… (I am really, really scraping here.) I try my darnedest not to use my middle name.
7. I have been memed a lot… please no more…
Meme me once, meme me twice… meme me once again…
