Book MemeThe BBC thinks most people will have only read 6 of these 100 books.
Put an X next to the ones you've read.
Count them up at the end.

Flickr Meme
I got tagged by Turtle with a Flickr meme, woo! The idea is, you go to the sixth page of your flickr stream and post the sixth photo on the page, then tag six people. I'm not generally a tagger in memes, so if you read this, have a Flickr stream, and haven't done the meme yet, consider yourself tagged!
The above is one of the four quadrillion photos Dad took at my brown belt test, woo. It's a little weird-looking outside of the stream -- it's part of the set up for this hip throw.

MemageTake a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair - just take a picture.

Music MemeGanked from Becca.
Put your music player on shuffle/random. Post lyrics from the first 20 songs that play (ignore instrumentals!). Have your friends guess the songs - or just marvel at your strange music collection!
This should be entertaining. I'm going to skip past all podcasts as well as instrumentals. And some of these will be really obvious, but others even I wouldn't get -- I don't listen to all the music on my player with any regularity.

Quirky MemeI was tagged by Becca, so here I am.
1 - List seven weird/quirky habits about myself
2 - Tag seven people to do the same
3 - not just say "whoever wants to do it" or refuse to tag peoplePersonally, I think #3 is kind of stupid. YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME, MEME! As a principled person, I shake my fist and refuse to tag. As a person who likes going along with what folks want, I want to tag people.
So, a compromise: if you are one of the seven people left on earth who hasn't done this meme yet, you are tagged.
July 26, 2007
MemageI was sorta tagged by Junglemonkey.
1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever to do it.June 08, 2007

Meme!I am braindead and beat, so here is a meme. I have earned my right to post it by replying honestly to it in every LJ I've seen it come up in.
We all have things about our friends that make us slightly envious.
Not in a bad way, but in a 'Wow! I wish I had that person's hair/eyes/money/relationship/toenails/whatever.'
So tell me what about me makes you envy me. . . then if you feel like it, post this in your LJ/blog and see what makes me envious of you.

Meme goodnessTen things I've done that you may not have done:
- Attended a sci-fi convention while a babe in arms.
- Been presented to the King of the West as an infant.
- Practiced French Horn while camping in Death Valley.
- Mouthed off (while a child) to a Mensa member.
- Learned Tom Lehrer's Song of the Elements. (well, mostly)
- Danced to an Allan Sherman song for a school talent show.
- Walked a portion of Hadrian's Wall.
- Distressed an British Lit prof by proving (fairly well, imho) in a term paper that Lit Crit is pointless.
- Had one of my favorite authors described as "vile" by a British Lit prof. (Yes, it was the same one.)
- Rappelled 16 stories of free hang into Moaning Cavern.

What've I done?Great huge meme...
Knowing memeFound at aldahlia, a fellow NaNoer.
One of the problems with blogging is that we all think we are close, but are missing important, basic pieces of info about each other. Let’s fix this! I want you to ask something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.
Then post this in your blog and find out what people don’t know about you.
Bring it on, folks!
Of course, some questions I may pass on answering. :)

memeWhen you see this, post a bit of poetry in your own journal.
Very well. Here's a limerick by Edward Gorey:
A dreary young bank clerk named Fennis
Wished to foster an aura of menace.----To make people afraid,
----He wore gloves of grey suede
And white footgear intended for tennis.Fennis is currently pictured in the upper right corner of my blog.

PromoGuy's Monday Mission 3.50Well, looks like PromoGuy is definitely going to end the Monday Mission. He's not even gonna have bloggers volunteer to do questions. :( I am deeply bummed. But I can see his point - it's become a real chore for him, and that's not cool.

PromoGuy's Monday Mission 3.49This week's Monday Mission.
Sadly, it looks like Jan 5 will see the end of the Monday Mission. I am deeply bummed, but can understand why Promoguy is calling it quits. I'm thinking of volunteering to do a month of MM questions in case he gets enough volunteers to do another year of it.

Stranger in a Strange LandSo I watched The Superbowl today, along with Antwon and a zillion insane Santa Cruz area folks. Now, my previous experience with football chiefly consisted of watching the Rose Bowl every year and nothing else. Needless to say, watching my first professional game was a bit peculiar. Especially when surrounded by people drinking rum, wearing eye patches and going "yarrrrrrrrrr!" at every possible opportunity.
But it was a lot more fun than I expected. I'm not going to turn into a rabid football fan, but I don't loathe the sport, either. If asked to watch another game with the same group, I would say "sure!" That makes the day a success in my books. :)
And in other news, I totally forgot the Friday Five. I suck.

Belated Friday FiveHad a pleasantly sociable Friday and thus didn't manage to get these done then. Today I managed to have a delightfully unproductive day (gotta relish my remaining days of freedom before my spate of 60-hour workweeks starts on Monday, after all), so I'm only NOW answering these. Whee!
