I’m intrigued by this concept of Internet memes. I first saw this word used in a blog post over a year ago, and am still somewhat perplexed when I see it now. Having taken many years of French, I will probably always pronounce it “mem.” In French, meme means “same,” which is somewhat related to the Internet meme meaning which comes from the Greek word mimeme (something imitated) and means a concept that is spread via the Internet.
At any rate, a meme is a good diversion from the usual posts, and I just saw this one that involves answering the following ten questions:
1. Describe yourself in seven words: Organized, driven, fair, positive, sensitive, routine, happy.
2. What keeps you awake at night? Worrying about my kids (and they’re not even teen-agers yet).
3. If you could be anyone for a day, who would you be and why? I don’t want to be anyone else.
4. What are you wearing right now? Cords and a sweater.
5. What scares you? Being someone else.
6. What are the best and worst things about blogging? Best: amazing forum for sharing thoughts and information. Worst: no idea what others are thinking.
7. What is the last website you looked at, aside from Twitter or Facebook? Khan Academy.
8. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? The times when I second-guess myself.
9. Slankets, yes or no? Absolutely NO.
10. What’s your dream? To make sense.
