10 things meme

[yesthattom]

1. Quit my job to join a presidential campaign

2. Had a book listed on the Amazon top 10 for a day, top 100 for a week.

3. Eloped then had a public wedding more than a year later without telling anyone we were already married.

4. Shook hands with 3 sequential governors of New Jersey (one who I was on a first-name basis with)

5. Dressed as a priest for a theatrical portion of a protest, gave a eulogy.

6. Helped plan and participated in a protest to encourage our University to increase tuition.

7. Single-handedly planned a conference, which was a failure, with only about 7 people showing up.

Sheesh this is difficult. The meme is really for 10?

How about #8 - been on network TV news in a segment about BBSes . . . in 1984(?).

#3

Well, there were at least 3 people who knew :-).

I've done #3.

Yeah, getting 10 is not easy stuff, without resorting to things like "married my wife" or something like that.

weren't you on CNN?

Of course, several of us on your friends list were in that protest. :-)

Forgive my ignorance: What is a "meme"?

[yesthattom.livejournal.com]

Excellent question!

A meme is a web trend. This one is the "name 10 things that you've done that (most likely) nobody else on your friends list has done". Other memes include the "badger badger badger" meme (google for it if you aren't familiar with it).
