Memes or mimes?

My new girlfriend and fellow ball buster, Anna Lefler, tapped my cyber shoulder over the weekend and asked me to play a meme game.

I was still harboring some resentment toward Anna since I didn’t win the coveted mustache on a stick contest (Anna models left) but, I think I’m over that now and have my game face back. Giggle On!

When I first read her email I thought she wanted me to play a MIME game. My initial reaction was wildly negative and I proclaimed out loud to myself: nope, no way, nada, I’ll pass, screw that!

I started into a ”I hate mimes” tirade which sounded something like this:

Wipe the white pancake crap off your face. SPEAK UP before I get my mama to slap some words right-out-yo’-mouth.

Disgusted about the idea of being involved in a white faced game of non-vocalized mimicking I read the email again with greater attention to detail.

It was during the second read that I realized my blonde stache lipped friend Anna wrote ’meme‘ and not ‘mime‘.  DUH! It was late at night when I read the email the first time and I was dog tired. When you don’t know what a meme is in the first place, it’s easy for the mind to play mime games on you.

GOD BLESS GOOGLE!!

Thankfully my friends at Google assured me the game was not about mimes and that meme’ing was not some Satanic ritual involving the emptying of my bank account and the sacrifice of baby bunnies.

Once I realized a ‘meme‘ was truly a friendly game and not some schmoe in a tux dressed like the night of the living dead, I got excited about being asked to play.

List 7 weird or quirky things

After a night of restful sleep and with my 317 brain cells fully rejuvenated, I started in on the meme game with gusto.

The “Leflerinator”, my new and non-sanctioned nicknamed for Anna, shared her simple game rules with me.

• Post the 5th photo from their 5th album for the whole dang world to see

Since I had no frickin’ clue what she meant by item #2 and was too lazy to email her back for the 5th time, I went with item #1 by default.

7 weird or quirky things about Christa

1. I admire people that can burp-talk the entire alphabet (I love you Lora).
2. I broke a swing on a swing set once because I was too fat. Landed flat on my ass and cried like a girl. When I got up, I ate worms because I was sad. Boo hoo!
3. I used to hang onion grass in trees as a little kid thinking it would keep evil spirits, vampires and ghosts away.
4. Unless it is smothered in buffalo wing sauce, I won’t eat chicken.
5. I want to learn to play the fiddle but I am simply too lazy to try.
6. I want to have a streak of gray hair like the real Allison Dubois. I think it’s cool and sexy.
7. I hate mimes and clowns (is this two things?).

I am tagging a couple of my blogger buds (listed below) to join me and play along with the “7 Weird or Quirky Things About You” game.
