I saw the word “meme” (rhymes with “dream”) a few months ago while doing research for an article on blogs. Could not figure out what on earth it was. Just in case I’m not the last person on the planet to have no clue, the definition according to Wiki is “a phrase used to describe a catchphrase or concept that spreads quickly from person to person.” Um, Ok. But this is really broad and not exactly helpful to me. Yes, it’s a contagious idea, but the memes I had in mind and seen were like surveys that helped people get to know each other. So that’s what my weekly (but I won’t post them on the same day each week) meme will be. If you have good meme ideas, send them over. Would love to do them!

I found today’s meme on http://www.friday5.org

1. What are the titles of the last three books you read all of?

DAIRY QUEEN, THE YEAR OF SECRET ASSIGNMENTS, THE OFF SEASON

2. What are the titles of between three and five magazines you subscribe to or used to subscribe to?

WRITER’S DIGEST and the SCBWI journal are the only magazines I subscribe to now, but I used to have WAY too many. Let’s see if I can remember a few. Ok, at random–SELF, GLAMOUR, PARENTS

3. What’s on your night table?

An alarm clock, REVIVING OPHELIA (because I still think I’m going to read it some day even though it’s been there for two years), and my night guard

4. What are the three best things that happened to you in the past seven days?

I made a yummy meatloaf, started exercising again, laughed a lot with my DS

5. What was your senior yearbook quote, and what would your yearbook quote be this year if there were such a thing?

My yearbook didn’t do the quote thing, but we did have a Senior Will where we could have quotes. I don’t remember what mine was. Probably something about moving on. Who knows? Right now? Hmm…. How about “Focus on the happy.” I like it. Don’t always do it but like it.
