I would not worry too much about it... this will get crazy...

Meme

Tagged with: meme

What is a meme?  Joseph on Sellsius° Blog defined it:

"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. Either way,"

Who memed me?

Sellsius° Blog of NYC (photo of NYC below)

The theme of the Meme:

5 Christmas Ball

"5 Things You May Not Know About Me"



Numero uno:

I had a toad named Hoppity Hooper (name is from a TV cartoon) that I put in a neighborhood pet competition when I was a kid.  Hoppity Hooper won a blue ribbon! Hoppity Hooper died shortly after the competition... of natural causes.* 

Numero dos:

I took Spanish from 7th grade through senior year of high school.  I tested out of having to take a foreign language in college based on my knowledge of Spanish but I can not speak it.  I could not speak it.   I sometimes respond with Spanish phrases...very simple phrases when I am talking to Hispanic people and they start speaking Spanish.  I can understand them but I can not respond in Spanish sentences, I don't believe I ever could speak Spanish.  Is four quatro? I am going out on a limb here and not going to go to an online Spanish dictionary on the numbering here*

Numero tres:

My married name was Gruszecki.....When I got divorced of course I went back to McCabe!  It was pronounced Grew Sheck ee. You said it fast and smooshed it together.... I think the accent is on the middle syllable.  Scheduling appointments to show homes I would spell my name "G-R-U-S as in Sam - Z as in Zebra - E-C as in Cat - K-I. "  When the person on the other end of the phone would say "what comes after the F?"  I would weep and start all over.  Some people and phone connections I knew I had to start out with "G as in gorilla."  I had clients who would mail me things as Maureen Gruszecasincatki or Gruszasinzebraecki... after listening to me schedule appointments on homes.. I was showing them....*

Numero quatro:

Blatimore

 

I learned how to sail in 1993 and went sailing on the Chesapeake Bay at the end of the summer.  We sailed into Baltimore Harbor ... and camped there one night right in front of the Aquarium.  Most of the other places we visited in Maryland were quaint little towns.** 

 

Numero cinco:

Joseph of Sellsius° Blog wrote about going to Catholic school, wanting to be a priest, having good penmanship. I never wanted to be a nun.  I remember one of "Sisters"  talking about some of us would hear a call from God... I thought " I'll just pretend I don't hear it." ... not to worry,  I never heard it,  he never asked.  Penmanship...my second grade teacher, Sister Magdalena hit me on the back knocking me on my desk for poor posture.  I was "slumping over the desk" during the class where we were learning cursive. I was relieved to go to public school from 4th grade on.  My penmanship is not good.  Perhaps with more discipline I could have prettier writing*

To carry on the meme "5 Things You May Not Know About Me" I choose to tag:

Columbus Columbus blogger William Robbins on either of his blogs.....

Columbus Metro Agent   or Columbus Metro Agent on Active Rain

 

 

 

Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Homes Daily Writer...

Sandy Mattingly  of NYC  Manhattan Loft Guy

 Columbus photo is mine, mine, all mine. 

* Sorry no photo of the City of Waukesha Wisconsin where I had an award winning toad, learned not to speak Spanish after years of study, got decked by a nun and married my high school sweetheart.... I lived in Akron, Dayton and Columbus as Maureen Gruszecki but the spelling of my name as  Maureen "Gasingorillarusasinsamzasinzebraecasincatki"  happened in Columbus (pictured.)

** Sorry no photos of quaint little Maryland towns on the Cheasapeake Bay...  go visit.. the photos would not do them justice anyway.

Oh my God... I've been memed.....

I will be back...

I should not have looked at Sellsius° Blog... I did one on Active Rain yesterday  where Jay Thompson memed me... I felt sorry for Christine Forgione that she was tagged twice one by Sellsius° Blog and another time on Active Rain... I thought how horrible.  I should not have gone to look at Sellsius° Blog... 

RealTown Bloggers... be afraid... be very afraid.... or maybe I will pick random bloggers in my blogroll......
