Memey Goodness
August 22nd, 2007
It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a good meme, so I’ve decided to make up my own. (Can you do this sort of thing? Just make up your own? Is there a board that has to vote on the meme’s worthiness?)
Childhood Meme
1. When you were in grade school, what did you want to be when you grew up? Is that what you do now?
2. What was you favorite children’s book/story?
3. What was THE band/singer of your youth? You know, the one who’s posters were in your locker and on your bedroom walls?
4. What’s the most cringe-worthy fashion “don’t” you used to wear regularly?
5. High school – loved it or hated it? Why?
Since I started it, I ought to answer, huh?
1. I wanted to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. I shit you not. And no, that is not what I do now. Although, can you imagine working from home as cheerleader? Would you watch the games on TV and cheer along? Cheer by speaker phone?
2. The Chronicles of Narnia were my favorite books. In particular, the fifth book, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
3. New Kids on the Block. Joey was my favorite. I never saw them in concert, but I would have given my left arm to go. Yes, I am ashamed of this now.
4. Hmmm… probably the banana clip/mall bangs combo.
5. Hated it. I wasn’t a good person back then and no one really wanted to be around me for long. I’m not that same little girl anymore and I really wish I had the chance to do it over again. Although, those experiences helped make me who I am now, so I probably wouldn’t want to go back and eff it up.
Ok, now it’s your turn. I tag all of you. If you choose to play along, let me know in comments so I can stop by your place and read your answers. Those of you without a blog who want to play, feel free to leave your answers in comments.
Go! Spread the meme like the plague!

Good times. I will try this one sometime soon (loved your answers)!
Thanks. I can’t take all the credit, tho. The banana clip totally carried me.
Ok…I answered it. I haven’t done a meme in awhile.
You rock, Crypto.
I like this. Nice questions. I will tackle it sometime. Thanks.
Thanks, Daisy. I look forward to reading your answers.
Just what I need a good light hearted meme. I’ll get to it in a few days. You need to start now talking to Maddie about local colleges.

We’re talking HOMESCHOOLING!!
Erica, thanks for the meme, I’m too old to remember things like this. *G*
Warm hugs,
Paul.
Too old? Never!
Banana clips! I totally forgot about those!
It’s probably best that way…
Veterinarian
Lord of the Rings (a close second would be “The Jungle Books”)
The Doors/Moody Blues (shut UP!)/Chicago (SHUT UP! They were political back then! Well, their first album was! Honest! ;-P)
My friends and I “created” a style of our own; men’s 501 faded used straight-legged jeans (there were no pre-faded jeans you could buy back then; if you bought new jeans, you had to wash them a zillion times before wearing them so you’d look “cool”) with white button-down men’s dress shirts, letting the cuffs hang over our hands and suede moccasins. The reality was, we were too poor and had to shop at the Goodwill or Salvation Army and this “look” was something we could afford. Needless to say, it didn’t catch on although at least we were not made fun of. Well, that I know of, anyway. lol
Hated high school. Fake fake fake. Plus, my boyfriend was two years older and his friends were older than he was, so the group I hung around with were young adults, not teens. It’s a miracle I stuck it through all the way and got my diploma, I was sooooo not interested in high school life.
Thanks a million for playing along, Amber
Your “regrettable” trend sounds pretty cool to me, fyi.
