Meme rhymes with theme, except on ActiveRain where many pronounce it  "Me Me"

I was memed by Karen Rice.  Karen's Super MEME'd

Karen was memed by Jo Soss.  I guess this is the 2008 Super MEME... In a meme you answer questions  and tag others to answer the questions. Super 8 meme? Looks like answer 8 Questions? Tag 8 Bloggers?  Don't want to participate? Don't worry... Be Happy...

1. Who is your favorite musical artist?

Don't get me wrong I like music but I am not that into musical artists...
 

2. Who is your favorite artist?

Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh

That's tough...Vincent Van Gogh, Andrew Wyeth, Aubrey Beardsley, Escher,  Edward Hopper, some Salvador Dali, HenryComfort Tiffany, Charles Rennie Mackintosh,  Alfons Mucha, Peter Max, Georgia O'Keeffe, Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Georges-Pierre Seurat, Hieronymus Bosch, and a bunch of others. Above is Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' which is no longer copyrighted....


3. Who is your favorite blogger? 

RE blogger....Sellsius Real Estate Blog...  Sellsius is Joe now... Joseph G. Ferrara, Esq. and historically Sellsius was Joe and Rudy. Rudy is Rudy Bachraty who is now a social media guru who now works for Trulia.com

4.  What did you want to be when you grew up?
A nurse when I was real young because my mother was one...  then a scientist because I thought beakers and test tubes were cool.  Then a stewardess because I wanted to see the world...then an actress no probably more of a movie star... then an interior designer.  I considered going into art education for a bit (more practical)  but went to college for interior design... until second semester my junior year.

5. If you could meet anyone (alive or dead) who would it be and what is the most interesting thing about them?

Jesus Christ but I hope he'd bring along my brother who died when we were kids

6. What is the most interesting piece of trivia you know?

Dog paws smell like Fritos.   Sniff 'em. My dog Buddy's paw's do ...so do this dog named Buddy's Frito Paws

7.  If you could live in any point in history what would it be and why?

Now... today..  right now.  If we went back just three or four years we would not be blogging and social networking.  "What the heck is a meme?" Even as recently as 2004 or 2005, we had only a glimmer about social media.

8.  What is the most interesting job you have ever held? Paying or non - paying?

I think real estate... which is sometimes non - paying...  It has held my interest the longest.  It has changed a lot.

Other jobs... kitchen help, library aide, intern for a historical museum, making the donuts at Dunkin Donuts, cashier, retailing, retention. retail management, retail merchandising...

Who do I tag for this game of blog tag?  Remember meme rhymes with theme... yes many on ActiveRain pronounce it  "Me Me"*) EDIT I will edit in the memes if they write them...

* What's a meme? As Joseph of Sellsius° Blog wrote during the great Real Estate Blog meme of 2006:
 
"A meme (rhymes with dream) is a catch phrase representing a contagious idea that spreads virally in a culture, like transparency, Web 2.0, Long Tail or maybe unzillowable. The word comes from the Greek meaning "mimic." In the blogosphere, it's a game of topic tag. You answer the topic question and pass it on to others to do the same."

Judy I just noticed Joe F. said "rhymes with dream."  duh... I think I got in my brain that he said meme rhymes with theme...oh well. It is topic tag to me which is a theme.... it's the thought that counts.  Kinda.

Hi Maureen, I enjoy following you here and on Twitter (I lurk for the most part on Twitter).  Thanks for adding a little more color!

06/03/2008 09:03 AM by Susie Blackmon-Maggie Valley Waynesville NC Realtor/RE Blogger/Photographer (COLDWELL BANKER Kasey & Associates)


Thanks Susie... do your corgi's paws (I hope I am remembering correct) smell like Fritos?  I mostly lurk (isn't it twurking?) on Twitter too.  I've been a member over a year and have not broken 3000 Tweets yet.  Lots of people have left me in the dust there but that's OK. I like Twitter but I read more than I Tweet usually.

Maureen - hey, it was fun to read this about you. But I'll pass on the doggie paws and take your word for it.

ask dog loving friend's if their pooches feet smell like corn chips.  Dogs sweat through their pads.  I have read it's a sign of too much corn in their dog food...  I think it is just a sign of corn in their dog food... dog feet could smell worse...

06/03/2008 10:04 AM by Maureen McCabe - Central Ohio real estate (Real Living HER)


Alright!  I'll accept that I've been tagged...now tell me how to do this....do I do my own blog entry?!  I am a total meme dork.  lol ( I just outed myself as a dork.)

Help Maureen!!!!

06/03/2008 08:06 PM by Stacey McVey (Realty One Real Living)


If you want to participate, the best thing to do is to do a post on your blog for your meme...  you answer the same 8 questions (or evade answering the same 8 questions) and then you tag 8 people... or don't tag people... Joe F.  was tagged on Sellsius blog and he just said people could be memed if they wanted to be... or maybe that was Rudy on the Trulia blog... 

Then let me know if you do a post....  You can post a link to it here.  I will edit the links into the post too...

06/03/2008 09:12 PM by Maureen McCabe - Central Ohio real estate (Real Living HER)


I am so confused! Can't we just pay someone to Meme for us? :)

06/04/2008 07:21 AM by Jim Hirschhorn, GRI, Real Living - Orlando (Real Living Real Estate Solutions)


I am starting a meme service Jim for a fee I will make up some great personal information about you and post it  ;- )

I can also be hired to Twitter for people... or Plurk...

 

06/04/2008 07:49 AM by Maureen McCabe - Central Ohio real estate (Real Living HER)


Maureen, you will hear from my attorney..Douglas Garbe! ha ha

and when do you have time to sell real estate?

06/04/2008 07:59 AM by Jim Hirschhorn, GRI, Real Living - Orlando (Real Living Real Estate Solutions)


why sell real estate when you can Twitter, Plurk and meme for profit..

Maybe Real Living can be the first brokerage with automeme for agents....

06/04/2008 09:39 PM by Maureen McCabe - Central Ohio real estate (Real Living HER)


I am indeed flattered to be on your list, Maureen.  We go back a long way, don't we?

All the best,

Thanks for the comment Joe. Thanks for being an inspiration...

Maureen, thanks for participating, and please forgive me for not getting here before now.  :-(

I'm sorry to hear that you lost a brother in childhood.  I also like Van Gogh's Starry Night painting.

06/09/2008 09:07 PM by Lake Wallenpaupack Pike County PA Real Estate | Karen E Rice (WEICHERT, REALTORS® Paupack Group )


AR is having trouble with images?  I am a cloud head and there is no Starry Night, here now?  I'm sure it will be back.  In an art project in high school, we had to do a painting in the style of an artist.  I did a painting in the style of Van Gogh... very much influenced by Starry Night. 

Thanks for the comment Karen.

Maureen, I enjoyed reading your meme. I am not sure who started the trivia about dogs - a person who loves dogs or a person who loves doritos.

06/10/2008 06:28 AM by GITA BANTWAL, REALTOR BUCKS COUNTY, PA HOMES (ReMax Centre Realtors)


smell them if you have an opportunity Gita.  My dog's paws smell like Fritos... the person who told me ... his dog's do... not that I sniff a lot of dog paws but I mentioned it to a young man recently and he verified his dog's paws do.
