meme time
it's meme time again. i'm sure meme stands for something quite technical and mature, but i prefer to read it as it's all about me me me me me me.
anyway, i've been tagged again and, in the interest of keeping the internet as random and useless as we all expect it to be, i've decided to go with it.
there are many quirky, yet boring, unspectacular things about me. so i thought i'd keep my neuroses themed to the kitchen (seeing as miss jones tagged me and she's an angel in the kitchen).
1. i like to collect plain pastel crockery from the 1950s/60s (esp. johnsons australia).
2. i would like to design flatware (cutlery) one day.
3. i make awesome scones and pretty good pavlova.
4. i don't eat chocolate (i'm abstaining from an addiction to the stuff - over 10 years now).
5. the smell of red wine, especially left-in-the-glass-from-the-night-before stale red wine, wigs me out.
6. i love espresso. but it bothers me a bit when i get it served in a glass, rather than ceramic cup. i think it tastes different. not quite as good somehow.
i'm sure i've tagged rather a lot of people over the years, but here are the ones i'm picking this time around:
andy
seb
age
the boys and girls at love
eddy
and
lucazoid
sorry kids, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do..
Here are the rules:
* Mention the rules on your blog.
* Tell six quirky yet boring, unspectacular details about yourself.
* Tag six other
* Go to each person’s blog and leave a comment that lets them know they are tagged.

now I have to (A) pretend to be interesting and (B) realise I don't know 5 people to tag. you're mean. ;)
that's me - meanie brown (that's sound wrongtown). besides, you don't have to divulge anything interesting at all - you think my facts about my cutlery and crockery fetishes are INTERESTING?.. pfft!
oh, and it's 6 people to tag. tee hee :)
Dear Lauren
Tags away! i'll do it....
btw a 'meme' comes from Donna Harraway and Estelle Barrett uses it really well too. I *think* it's basically like a conceptual unit that is bound to the thing it identifies.... Baudrillard talks about technemes - which are technological objects AND the ideas, values and fetishes connected to them, and Michel Foucault talks about epistemes - which are units/constellations of the history of though.....
so our 'meme' on the blogosphere is perfectly articulated by the networked tagging of 6 trivial facts on different blogs.....
Oh no, I dont know what to do...
I don't know what to say... thank you?
eddy: you just have to post 6 things about you. unspectacular (and thereby slightly revealing) things about you. on your blog.
you could text them to me. and then you could be true to the format of your blog :)
and then you link to 6 other bloggers who you want to do the same... like those old school chain letters. except these are way better. ahem.
simon - i know, i'm a bitch :) BTW - i've still got plans for england in jan, which means a trip up the M1 to see you boys and girls. and this time i'll visit proper.
Oh I get it- everything I do is fairly uninteresting, where to start..
