So, um, what does meme stand for?

Oct 07, 2005 12:39

I guess this is as good a way to say 'hi' as any, but. . .well, last time I was cyberwired, there was no such word as "blog," much less "meme." And hey, doesn't "blog" sound like something ugly? Like a bleached frog? Or a. . .bloated dog?

Somebody needs to consult with me before they invent words. Clearly.



1.Name someone with the same birthday as you.

Robert E. Lee. And Stephanie from "Full House."

2. Where was your first kiss?

Billy Fordham's basement. And the running tally of painful memories dredged up by this silly survey starts now.

3. Have you ever seriously vandalised someone else's property

THERE WERE VAMPIRES IN THAT GYM!!!!!!!!!! Painful memory 2

4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?

More times than I can count. Some of those are pretty good memories, actually.

5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?

Not a large number, but enough. If you were there, you remember. It was a spell. 3.

6. What’s the first thing you notice about the preferred sex?

Eyes. So corny, so true.

7. What really turns you on?

I choose to take this in the Inside the Actor's Studio sense, OK? So -- trying something new. Finding a different way to approach an old problem.

8. What do you order at Starbucks?

Depends on how I feel. Something girly. Caramel macchiato.

9. What was your biggest mistake?

Being with Angel Letting Angel go Being with Spike Letting Spike go Worrying too much about undead guys and their issues. Not being there when Mom got back from her date that night, because maybe I could have called someone on time. Seriously. . . dwell much? It's not for me. Screw this tally thing, I give up.

10. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?

I kind of died on purpose. But just the once. For a good cause. Hurting yourself versus letting someone else do it for you? Not such a world of difference.

11. Say something totally random about you:

I like cheese.

12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?

Well, the Slayer Barbie thing gets kind of old. There are no celebrities as short as I am, sadly.

13. Do you still watch children’s movies or TV shows?

Well, I'm in Bangkok at the moment, and it's sometimes hard to tell the target audience for some of this animation. Xander would know. Other than that, I've been away from TV for a while. Who won American Idol back in . . .oh, May 2004?

14. Did you have braces?

Perfect teeth.

15. Are you comfortable with your height?

Ehh, it works for me. Element of surprise. Plus, I never get mistaken for celebrities.

16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the opposite sex has done for you?

OK, that would have to be Todd the Immortal this guy I knew in Rome. He went a little overboard with the moonlight and the candles and I made him swear never to do it again. Of course, 'never trying to kill my friends or cheating on me at a vampire brothel' counts too.

17. When do you know it's love?

I can pretty much tell from the agony, turmoil, and lifethreatening situations. It's in his kiss, that's where it is. *bop bop bop* Hey, do you know they have karaoke machines in TAXICABS in this city?

18. Do you speak any other languages?

No, but I'm really good at that 'Help me, I'm an American,' smile. Todd said I shouldn't ruin the charm by actually trying to learn a language.

19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?

Hello, I've worked at night since I was fifteen. If I didn't tan a little, I'd look like a corpse. (Of course, some of you are very attractive.)

20. What magazines do you read?

If by "read" you mean, look at the pictures and captions? Vogue, US Weekly (SO much hipper than People), the occasional Cosmo.

21. Have you ever ridden in a limo?

Something involving Cordelia and the homecoming dance.

22. Has anyone you were really close to passed away?

Yes.

23. Do you watch MTV?

Yes.

24. What’s something that really annoys you?

Hypocrisy.

25. What's something you really like?

Did I mention cheese? Also, the trying new things.

26. Do you like Michael Jackson?

Hmm, what's he done lately? His 80s stuff is really honestly GOOD. Though I can't watch Thriller with a straight face -- of course, I'm not sure I'm supposed to.

27. Can you dance?

You bet. Though I prefer the kind where I pick my own steps, not the kind where it's a spell and my feet start smoking

28. What’s the latest you have ever stayed up?

Seriously? I've probably been 5 days in a row without sleep.

29. Have you ever thought that you were honestly going to die?

*blinks* We are ALL honestly going to die. Even the Immortal, if he's lucky. The funny thing is, the one time I didn't believe it was when I was swan-diving off that tower.

30. Do you actually read these when other people fill them out?

I dunno, this is my first.
