Questions meme
Jun. 22nd, 2011 08:41 pmAmazingly, Imogen slept for long enough that I was able to do this meme. From ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I memed a meme
Mar. 27th, 2011 11:20 amThis is a bit of a silly meme (though juggzy managed to give it some good answers!) but, er, it was either this or do something useful, so.

Games people play
Nov. 4th, 2010 10:57 pmThis is cheating a bit, but then I've already set the bar low by resorting to writing about my dreams on day 2, so a meme isn't really much worse, right...?
Rules: Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real . . . nothing made up! If the person before you had the same first initial, you must use different answers. You cannot use any word twice and you can't use your name for the boy/girl name question.
Your name: Janet
A four-letter word: jolt
A boy's name: Julian
A girl's name: Jerilyn (it is a real name, I had a friend at primary school called that)
An occupation: judge
A color: jaune (cheating, I know, but I can't think of a real one!)
Something you wear: jacket
A food: jerky (om nom nom)
Something found in the bathroom: Janet (quite frequently these days)
A place: Janet's house (this is getting desperate)
A reason for being late: Janet going back to get something she forgot
Something you shout: jump!
A movie title: Jaws
Something you drink: juice (preferably grape)
A musical group: Journey
An animal: jagular
A street name: Jeune Street
The title of a song: Jilted John
This one's a bit of an odd 'meme' (in the sense that we seem to use the word on LiveJournal) because the answers don't seem to have to be anything personal. In fact, it's not so much a meme, as a game. We used to play it at home, and we called it "Fruit Flower" because those were the first two categories on the list. ( Category games )

I'll have a meme, please, Bob
Sep. 11th, 2010 08:53 pmSince I seem to be in an LJ meme mood (or rather too icky-feeling and brain-dead to do anything more intellectually stimulating) here's one of those question memes (pinched from jackiesjottings):
( A-Z of questions )
jackiesjottings):( A-Z of questions )
I don't know if ewx meant to start a meme here, but here's what I get from typing a single word in Google Scribe & then hitting return a lot:
ewx meant to start a meme here, but here's what I get from typing a single word in Google Scribe & then hitting return a lot: "Badgers Forward blog shortly before they were born into and then out of their way to their destination in the world of their owners and are strictly for viewing and printing of these books are nothing but another form of therapy for these patients is not known whether these are the only ones who can not afford to pay for their own users and groups to their Friends / Favorites list yet, so I'ma keep popping up in their own right and do not want to be related to their particular field or industry in which they are attached to their respective owners"I couldn't agree more.
Ten Years Asleep
Jan. 3rd, 2010 09:12 pmHappy new year!
So, that decade meme. A few points before I start:
1. It's surprisingly hard to reconstruct the LiveJournal-less years, and surprisingly hard to reconstruct some of the actual events even from the years with a LiveJournal (I do seem to write an awful lot of rubbish, don't I?).
2. I've not gone into details about all the relationships because I don't know to what extent other people want to forget things, particularly since most of them are now in other relationships too; the only ones I've mentioned are the ones which I'm fairly sure are public knowledge. Shout if you want me to delete anything.
3. It's surprisingly hard to find any kind of narrative thread. I did some stuff, and then did some other stuff. (I guess that's life; maybe if I spent more time on it I could turn it into a real story, but then it'd be a grillion words long and nobody would read it.) It came as quite a shock to the system, though, after 19 years in full-time education, just how little structure there is to life when you're not subject to the tides and terms of a school or university. I think that's one of the reasons I wanted to go back, if I'm honest with myself; I still like being able to divide the year up into terms and holidays, though I'm starting to find my own kind of rhythm to things in addition to that.
4. This is long and boring and I don't really expect anybody other than myself to be interested in it! There's no easter-eggy tickybox-poll at the end to see if you did read all the way through, I promise.
So, here goes...
( 2000: studying, romancing, examining, defecting, working )
( 2001: Perl-munging, driving, househunting, singing, drinking )
( 2002: moving, festivalgoing, blogging, driving, engaging )
( 2003: driving, disengaging, quitting, fiddling, volunteering )
( 2004: temping, crying, webmastering, escaping, loving )
( 2005: moving, raining, working, eating, singing )
( 2006: meeting, twittering, moving, returning, rethinking )
( 2007: jobhopping, geeking, engaging, running, spodding )
( 2008: running, queueing, marching, planning, waiting )
( 2009: wedding, running, homeowning, protesting, sparkling )
And now here we are in 2010, continuing to potter along through life. I've done a lot in the last 10 years; I've done next to nothing in the last 10 years. It all depends where you're standing. Either way, though, it's a lot of coffee-spoons. End of a decade: it's nothing special.
