Because there is nothing better to do: MeMe!

Also because I got tagged by Goblok and Vic, which makes two tags, and some time ago when I was into memes I hear that if you get two, you gotta do two. But of course, those were the olden times, where getting up to 30 tags because you’re popular meant that you have to do it 30 times, provided you’re very much dedicated, so perhaps I shall overlook it.

And now, the meme:


1. When you look into the mirror…

The corridor appears, and the glass shatters and falls and I walk through it in the semi-darkness, taking right at every turn until the ground gives way and I fall and suddenly I’m back in the light, with my hair miraculously gelled.



2. When did you last saw someone picking their nose?

This man was at the LRT, reading a Chinese magazine that seems to be a cross between a gossip mag and a business bulletin, when he suddenly let the magazine down and coughed. After that he got up and left the train. It was last year.

The man beside him picked his nose.


3. What are you doing now?

I’m exploring the finer points of life, and this one involves an invariably and involuntarily reaction towards something that -- on most days -- I deem to be an activity for the days of lesser work and worries, and yet I am at work (which I should be taking seriously, no doubt) and typically wasting my time doing anything but anything work related, and one of them is this.


4. What would be the best birthday present?

To me or to be given to soeone else?

If it’s for me, then it should be on the lines of X360PS3WiiCliverBarkerNeilGaimanLeatherBoundBookMasterPenThreeWishes1)Handsome2)JessicaAlba3)LoadsLoadsLoadsofMoney

If it’s for someone else, a ball pen and a notebook and a witty card to justify its cheapness.


5. Who do you think is hot right this moment?

Marge Simpson


6. Who annoyed you recently?

The gadarnit producers of Avatar: The Last Airbender for not releasing the newest episodes.


7. Where did you meet your loved one? If you have yet to find, where do you plan to meet him/her?

I saw her at the mall, amidst of others so similar to her, that until today I wonder how was it -- as though by some heavenly guidance in all divinity of light -- that I found her. So I took her, got to know her, and shortly she was in my room, spending that night, and the night after, and the night after too, and now we share the same bed and I embrace her to sleep every night.

My darling bolster-pillow...


8. How will you use this meme for the benefit of mankind?

I think I’ve done it already. I’ve managed something that someone might read and possibly wonder why someone had to do something like this; I’ve given that person something to ponder about. Of course, eventually, I will do the inevitable task of Tagging more people into this endeavour, only that I don’t actually have anyone in mind but Ji Lin the Princess Snail, so I shall open this meme for all to do and post whenever and wherever they want.

They can even do it differently, which makes for a good few freshness, and they can do it something like this:




1. When you look into the mirror…







2. When did you last saw someone picking their nose?






3. What are you doing now?

4. What would be the best birthday present?








5. Who do you think is hot right this moment?






6. Who annoyed you recently?





7. Where did you meet your loved one? If you have yet to find, where do you plan to meet him/her?

Something like that.

Hmm, more to follow, apparently.

A few interesting things to read.

I shall first, in all of my honour, present to you the link to Elizabeth Bear’s Hugo Nominated story, Tideline, which you can read here: http://www.elizabethbear.com/tideline.html

If you think Mark Twain is a boring writer with limited imagination, you can read Adam's Diary here: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/ExtrAdam.shtml and Eve's Diary here: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/EvesDiar.shtml

Also, because it talked about meat, there is this: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/TheyMade.shtml

This one because it’s so interesting: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/TherMan.shtml

And this one for the roll and because I love it: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/MaggMiso.shtml

Lastly, and perhaps not quite a big deal at any rate, I’ve gotten something up in Monochrome Smogs, and it’s a short story commissioned by Ji Lin to abate my boredom at work. Drop by and give a comment.

And that, I swear, is the end of it.
