Me me me meme time...

Finally getting around to this one... It actually requires more thought than most memes!

Here's how it works. If you'd like me to "do" you (not that way!) just say so, and I'll do this:

1. i’ll respond with something random about you
2. i’ll challenge you to try something
3. i’ll pick a color that i associate with you
4. i’ll tell you something i like about you
5. i’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you
6. i’ll tell you what animal you remind me of
7. i’ll ask you something i’ve always wanted to ask you
8. if i do this for you, you must post this on yours


I first saw this over on Sass's blog, and here's what she said about me:

1. i’ll respond with something random about you

i love that you have anthony bourdain's phone number AND aren't using it.

Shoot... what DID I do with that number? Heh. I know exactly where it is. And I'll never use it!

2. i’ll challenge you to try something

i challenge you not to allow yourself to say mean things to yourself about any part of yourself for at least ten days.and that if you do you say 'now terry, you know that talking about yourself that way is terrible for your self esteem'(crap is that too personal?)

This is not too personal at all. And I've actually tried to meet this challenge. I'm even trying to keep my inner critic quiet. I've had mixed results... but it's an excellent challenge!

3. i’ll pick a color that i associate with you

red

My favorite color.

4. i’ll tell you something i like about you

your writing style and your optimism.

That is a huge compliment. And I think I often lack in optimism....! I'm trying.

5. i’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you

oh man. you were there and around in the comments in my circle and one day i wandered to your profile and loved the name of your blog. it rocks and so does your blog

Another huge compliment.

6. i’ll tell you what animal you remind me of

a porcupine... but your quills aren't as sharp as you think they are.

That Sass is one perceptive woman.

7. i’ll ask you something i’ve always wanted to ask you

why do you say you're your own biggest enemy?

I sabotage myself a lot. That constant inner criticism is a big part of it.

8. if i do this for you, you must post this on yours
do me to me! :)

It will be in comments in moments!


And then Jmai did it too!

1. I’ll respond with something random about you

Your profile photo makes me giggle every time, even after months of following your blog

I don't even remember that pic being taken. Miss Cheese, Miss Angela, her hubby and I were at a big dressy event on my birthday last year, and I was drunkety-drunk-drunk. Can you tell??

2. I'll challenge you to try something

I challenge you to do a local singles night kind of event doing something you enjoy -- like Singles Pottery night, or Single Opera night, or whatever.

Uh, no. I'm not in the right frame of mind right now, for one thing... but even if I were? I'm not sure I could bear that.

3. I’ll pick a color that I associate with you

Lavender

I'm a big fan of the purple family. Favorite color after red!

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you

Your cool factor. I would so want to hang out if we lived in the same place. I think you'd be a hoot to hang with.

Snort. I am SO not cool. But I'd love hanging with you!!

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you

Your profile photo! Lol.. I love the googly eye face

I believe I was googly over the special light show being displayed on the side of City Hall. I think you can even hear me saying, "Oooh," if you listen closely enough.

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of

A sea otter and I'm not sure why. But that's what comes to mind.

I love sea otters!

7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you

What precisely is it that you do for a living?

Working in a coal mine, going down down down...

8. If I do this for you, you must post this on yours (and do me!)

You bet!
