Meme

I just realized I have no idea what the word meme means, exactly.  I get the idea but I don’t know the word. 

I’ve been tagged by Cin at Notare with the following meme:

• Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

• People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.

• At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

• Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

So here’s the thing.  I’ll follow the first two rules but I’m feeling weird about tagging others.  You just never know if people like it or not and I don’t want to make anyone feel obligated. 

But on the flip side, you do all know I like to blather on about myself so you are subjected rule number one. 

1.  I am left handed.

2.  I don’t mind feet, like some other people I know :o) , but I do have some pretty frightful looking ones myself.  They don’t bother me though – if a body part is going to be ugly it might as well be your feet.

3.  I count things, constantly.  So does my dad so it must be hereditory.

4.  I took four languages in high school.  I remember one of them.  Mostly.

5.  My hair is dark brown and my eyes are blue (Ha!  Most people don’t know that because the most recent picture of me posted here was taken in 1969.  And it’s in black and white).

6.  I played the clarinet in a high school marching band and still find it mystifying and kind of insulting that people think that is the height of dorkdom.   YOU try playing Louie Louie while keeping in step with 80 other musicians.  And keep your spats on straight.

7.  I have lived in 14 different homes, in three different countries, three different states and eight different towns or cities.

8.  I am hopelessly Pollyanna-ish but I can have a mean sense of humor.
