September meme, Days 23 to 30
It's the last day of September. How did that happen?
I think I'd better wrap up the meme for the month and attempt to do better in October.
Behind a cut, to save your flists.
23. What is a meme or picture you’ve seen recently that has made you laugh?
spikesgirl58 posts some good comic strips, many of which make me laugh.
24. Have you ever bought something recommended by an ad on social media before?
No. I avoid social media as much as possible (LJ being the one exception and having a permanent account here I don't see adverts). If I were to see something interesting, I wouldn't click on the link. I don't trust ads in places like facebook. I'd do a separate search for the thing.
25. How often do you go to the beach?
Daily. It makes for a lovely walk, what with the view being different every day. Not to mention dog walkers to exchange the occasional word with.
26. Do you ever look up actors you think you recognize in movies and shows?
Since everything I watch has been recorded I will occasionally freeze the credits to check the name of an actor who I think I recognise. Does that count as looking them up? I don't think I would usually go online to look them up, except maybe to check what else they might have been in, to see where I might remember them from.
27. Do you prefer earphones or over the ear headphones?
When listening to the radio outside I use earbuds. They are so much easier to manage. When talking to sparrow2000 on skype I use headphones with an integral microphone.
28. Do you remember when you first went on the internet?
It would be back in the mid-90s, when we got connected at work. We didn't get the internet at home until 2000, when we bought our first computer. That was on dial-up, so I used to go on line early in the morning when no one would be needing the phone. There were fandom Yahoo maillists in those days, so they would download into my email and I could then go off-line and sort through them.
29. What is one thing that you refuse to ever do in your lifetime?
I don't know. I don't think I ever made such a resolution. I would just avoid being anywhere near anything I wasn't interested in/didn't want to have anything to do with.
30. Which one of your friends is the most outgoing?
My sister, I think. Most of the people I would call friends are pretty introverted (sort of). Maybe my cousin; she and her husband are very sociable people.
The sunrise has been beautiful, if fleeting this morning, but now it is time I got moving.
Have a lovely day, folks.
