Dude, what's a MEME?

So the latest theme at the blogs I shamelessly stalk seems to be spilling your guts. While I'm a regular at pax compoundia, I somehow overlooked the fact that Karloff so obviously passed the guts-spilling-torch onto me so here goes nothing...

1. The love of my life
2. Shimi (my cat)

2. Do some major heli-skiing
3. Write a book
4. Go skydiving with my best friends
5. Hike the Westcoast Trail (at least once)
6. Run a marathon
7. Buy my mom a sweet vacation home
8. Be able to kill the half-pipe on my board (practice, practice, practice!)

8 Things I Often Say (you'll notice the obvious lack of sophistication in my everyday speech)
1. Sweet Jesus!
2. For the sweet love of God!
3. Duuuude...
4. F*** that sh**!
5. That blows!
6. That's not cool!

Wowzers, that required more brain power than I thought! In the nature of these memes, let the force be with you:

You don't know what you have done here...I agonise over having to commit myself to lists! This is going to be a toughie! You bugger you!

BAMBOO BLITZ said...

ha ha ha! I know, it's a bitch! I sat in front of the computer for over an hour trying to fit myself into the nice little post that you have before you! The toughest part is the song list...I'm actually off to change one of my songs as we speak..LOL

Divinyl said...

Done! I am not thanking you! Lol.

It is 6.26am here! (And I know that I'll be stressing about my responses for days/weeks/forever!).

I absolutely love memes. I'd be glad to 'play' along ;) Give me a week to post this though, I feel as if I haven't 'written anything in the past week. Puro memes lol. I'm not complaining though, I just find it a bit weird hehe......

You have a pretty bizarre playlist though lol...

Thanks Grace :)

BAMBOO BLITZ said...

Oh that playlist is just the tip of the iceberg! he he! I grew up on indie and punk rock but I love soul, funk, and breaks so my musical palate is pretty out there!

karloff said...

hehe, thanks for takin' the time.. and great music list!

I'd have gotten on this yesterday, but there's big news a-brewin' for us.:)

BAMBOO BLITZ said...

Hey Karloff, no worries buddy! Thanks for the tag!

Black_Mamba said...

Hey Grace, I'm doing this 'tag' tomorrow, would you like me to use your name or screen name?
Thanks again:)
