Keepin' It Brief

LaLa recently tagged me for the "Five Things" meme. I'm not sure there are really any particular rules to this meme - just write five useless facts about me, I guess. After having tossed it around in my head for the past few days, I realized that I'm completely at a loss. So I've decided to throw it open to you all, my fabulous readers. The first five people to reply to me - via comments, email, IM, whatever - can claim one of the five. Basically, your rules are this: tell the readers something about me. It can be any useless fact you choose, as long as it's not slanderous or overly insulting. Or horrendously embarrassing. I'll print it verbatim, with only moderate commentary alongside it. Sounds fun, right? You know you want to do it...

-----------------------------------

And on the subject of memes, Guinevere visited a long time ago and when I returned the visit, I found a cool "One Word" meme. (She never commented again, though, which made me sad. Hello? Guinevere? Are you still reading?) I was, of course, never tagged for the meme, but that's never stopped me before, right? So without further ado, I now share with you my take on the "One Word" meme:

If memes interest you, I highly recommend this one. It's quick, but surprisingly challenging to keep everything to only one word. "Brevity is the soul of wit," as they say, so play on, dear readers!

(And don't forget to claim one of the five spots to tell the world about me!)

I don't know you, so I can't really participate in your meme tag, but wanted to pop in and say, "HEY!" lol Sorry you haven't seen me around. I've been busy and not had much extra time for blog walking. But, I'll be back...hopefully more often than usual. :oD

You're not sure about that Best Friend, are you? Good! Uncertainty in that area is a healthy sign. I think you know what I mean...

sassy - clever chook (as aly would say). i love you back, cheesy mccheese.

guinevere - hey! you're back! i knew calling you out would reel you in. ;) no worries, because i understand how time consuming blog walking can be. whenever you have some time, feel free to stop in and say hi.

lala - yep, you can enjoy learning from others. :)
