Skimmers, This One's For You

So listen. You know what happens when you tag me for a meme? What happens is, I read it, and maybe I even say say "sure!", and then I go about my business for weeks slash MONTHS, until one day when my Blog Content Tank is on "E" (as opposed to the usual fumes), I will think to myself, "What is the EASIEST meme I have been tagged for and completely ignored?". Man. I am SUCH a bitch. And as evidence, I present Exhibit A:

That Self-Promoty Meme! (Courtesy of skiplovey)(And possibly others?)(Oh, dear)(This is Exhibit B)

The first requirement of this deal is to post a link to one of my posts about Family. Here's one about my mom and her damn dirty hippie heart.

Next is Friends. Here's one about my college running buddy and frequent commenter Carla. I know I have other friends reading this thing who never comment--maybe if you step it up, you'll get YOUR own posts, jackasses! Isn't being my friend AWESOME?

Third is Myself. Here's a post about how I'm an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, shrouded in Old Navy Fleece.

Fourth is about Something I Love: CLAM CHOWDAH!

And the last link can be about Anything. I'm picking this post about how I found out I was pregnant, since it's one of like 3 posts that I've ever managed to end in a non-awk manner.

So, yeah. Looks like we're still at 3 then.

I was so proud of myself- I checked the links and I've read ALL those posts already! But I reread them anyways (well, skimmed a little) because you are JUST THAT FUNNY! You are rereadable.

Tess said...

DH, you are hardcore. Total bonus points for rereading(skimming).

I love the post about finding out you were pregnant. "Sorry, baby."

TOO good. And PS, I recalled that gem from MEMORY. I haven't even clicked back through them yet.

Whoops, now you think I'm gonna get all SWF on your ass. Don't worry, BR needn't get his fussypant in a bunch... I'm far too lazy to stalk.

This is the best meme ever. The Annotated Tessie, if you will.

Robin said...

I love your "how I found out I was pregnant" story! "Slot machine theory"...so great. I am new to the blog universe and am thrilled to have found your blog (via Petunia Face). Keep writing - you are hilarious!

Memes seem to be more enjoyable for the person writing them than the person reading them, I agree.

Some of them I still like though, but only if they're funny.

Yours is funny. I like.

Tess said...

It's funny, I usually really like reading memes on other people's blogs, as long as they aren't like SUPAH LONG. I don't know why I feel so lame when *I* do it.

Dude, that Myers Briggs post? Effing hilarious.

I love being your friend for many reasons....even including the sort of embarassing but they bring back GREAT memories blog posts!! :-)

LoriD said...

It's like a Tessie flashback show. Even better the second time around!

Daycare Girl said...

Yup, I'd read all these posts already too, but not all the comments. So I just spent about thirty minutes doing that too. And some of them are nearly as funny as the posts. :) Not to mention I think I might have to make some sort of hotdish for dinner tonight due to that whole thing in the chowdah post.

Laura said...

I think lameness in meme writing is totally typical. Whenever I get tagged I think to myself,"but...I am so very boring..."

Skiplovey said...

Nicely done! Hey did you ever find your favorite Chowdah recipe?

Are you ready for this? My sister brought her test in a ziploc bag to Outback Steakhouse so I could look at it and tell her if she was pregnant.

No joke man.
