What’s the meme-ing of all this, then..?
Aye, it looks like I’ve been meme-d by morgan, darn it.
I’m not entirely sure what this means.
Merriam-Webster says
Pronunciation: ‘mEm
Function: noun
Etymology: alteration of mimeme, from mim- (as in mimesis) + -eme
: an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture
Well. That clears that up.
On the other hand, the blogger version says that the rules are:
The first player of this game starts with the topic five weird habits of yourself, and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Dont forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says You are tagged (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.
Right-o. Weird habits, eh..? Hm..
1. I suppose it’s safe to say that I treat my cat like my own child. That’s fairly weird in some cultures, I’d imagine.. *ahem*
2. Apparently - though I don’t believe it’s true - when I’m anxious or a bit stressed, I do this thing where I close my fingers over my palm (almost like clenching my fist) and start rubbing my palm as I’m working on whatever it is. I think this is a lie, though.. *cough*
3. I can’t stand raw tomatoes, but as part of a dish, cooked tomatoes are usually perfectly acceptable. ..Not sure if that’s actually weird. Tomatoes are the snot of the devil, after all..
4. I can’t stand when people don’t fold newspapers perfectly. It’s like newsprint origami for me. At the weekend, when there are piles of crumpled up, disorganised newspapers strewn around the place - God forbid, with pages removed from any one section - I find myself getting into a minor panic. Arrgh!!
5. I almost always have to have a cup of tea when I’m at the computer at home.
That is all.
And so, my nominee people are . . .
DJH, Redivius, Allie, Wheelie Bin and Efferal.
Apologies to you all (and feel free to ignore this ol meme thing entirely..!)
You got me! And I couldn’t do anything else until I did it and passed it on!
Happy New Year!
