meme

I've been slow responding to two tags, one an award and one a meme. So today's the day I reveal all to you.

Yes! I've won an award. Drinks on me. Fellow writer Danica bestowed the Kreativ Blogger award on me. (Picture me kneeling in humbleness as she sets a crown on my head. It's a sparkling, red crown, by the way.)

Confucius say, "A rolling stone gathers no moss, but a blog collects many memes."

(Or maybe it was Mick Jagger.)

I've been tagged by Sarah, who was tagged by Christianne, who was tagged Green Inventions Central, who was tagged by Michelle and Gina, who were tagged by... (Does this mean I'm related to Kevin Bacon?)

Jenn tagged me with the p. 123 non-meme going around (because it's not really about me, it's about my books, which, really, though, is about me, so I guess it is a meme).

Remember Saturday morning cartoons? Smurfs and all that jazz? Right before they'd break for commerical, these three clay people with skinny bodies, huge heads, and even bigger hair, would come out and sing, "After these messages..." then they'd bow down, their heads would switch, they'd stand again, "We'll be right back!" Remember that? 

D'Ann--a woman who I believe has the gift of encouragement--and Jeanne--who I want to be when I grow up simply because I don't think she ever grew up--tagged me for this bookish meme.

I have a love-hate relationship with this meme. It's about books, hence the love. It uses the word "one" too often, hence the hate.

My friend, fellow-writer, and crit-partner, Michelle, tagged me for the 10-20-30 game. I had been pouting because the meme went around to everyone else in the face of this blogging world, but not me.

But Mich tagged me the month I turned 30. So I guess before then, the last bit wouldn't have been much fun. Unless you wanted a dissertation on amniotic fluid.

So here we go:
