What is a meme?
People often ask, "What is a Meme?" so here's more than a little information on that. I pronounce it so it's rhymes with dream; some pronounce it so it sounds like mem (from mem-ory).
In the context of web logs / 'blogs / blogging and other kinds of personal web sites it's some kind of list of questions that you saw somewhere else and you decided to answer the questions. Then someone else sees them and does them and so on and so on. I generally consider these to be actual questions and not some multiple choice quizzes that determine some result at the end (what color you are most like, what cartoon character are you, what 80s movie are you...YAWN!)
Are you more...
01) A harsher critic of others or a harsher critic of yourself?
Answer: Definitely a much harsher critic of myself. I'm painfully self-aware.
02) One who thinks stealing is the bigger sin or one who thinks lying is the bigger sin?
Answer: Stealing? Well, it's all material, and we all know, material things are meaningless when you look at the big picture. It's what the stealing represents. Lying is always a huge motzah ball. Deception is probably the hardest thing to overcome, whether in a deep seeded relationship, work or otherwise. If you lie to someone, no matter how great or small the lie usually becomes bigger than you can imagine and if you're found out, it's an awful feeling knowing that you've let the other person down (that's if you've a conscience, then you most certainly know how it feels).
03) Fond of crayons for coloring or fond of paint for coloring?
Answer: Crayons are so strongly connected to my childhood. Paint just wouldn't cut the mustard. I still draw and I still color (inside the lines of course, I'm not a psycho!)
04) Someone who thinks they have all the tools they could need or someone who thinks you barely have the minimum number of tools to get by?
Answers: The one thing I know for sure, I've barely scratched the surface of my human potential.
05) McDonald's or Burger King?
Answer: Burger King = Creepy. McDonalds = My theory: Hamburgler and Mayor McCheese were in cahoots.
06) Obsessive compulsive or whatever happens, happens?
Answer: A little from column A and a little from column B.
07) One who enjoys the company of small children (playing with blocks) or one who enjoys the company of senior citizens (playing bridge)?
Answer: Only my special friend and my Saturday friend know the answer to this for sure.
08) Someone who will vacuum-seal food before putting it in the freezer or someone who will just put it in the freezer?
Answer: There is nothing more disgusting than freezer burned food. Just ask my mother.
09) More proud of your belches or more proud of your flatulence?
Answer: This question is just wrong on so many levels.
10) Possessed of a soothing voice or possessed or an order-barking voice?
Answer: No, just possessed.
