My First Ever MeMe

Ms. Karen has MeMe'd me. I'm all touched and stuffed, despite being a bit...um...unsure of what MeMe means. Memo about Me? Me, me...the world revolves around me? Eh, whatever. I know I'm supposed to answer and tag other people, which should be interesting, given the tiny smattering of folks who read this AND blog. (Vanderbilt-person and Canadian "Give Me a Little Push"-person--I'd be happy to tag y'all if you'd tell me who you are. Seriously. I've started inventing identities for you. They may or may not involve smuggling doughnuts over state lines.)

Hunh? Oh, right...the MeMe, which has (as duly noted by Ms. Karen) 7 P's:

My Passion: Um...I don't just have one. My friemily is up there, as are writing and finding magic on life's path. I also get pretty revved up about the Bulldogs. Goooooo Dawgs! Sic 'em. Woof Woof Woof! (It's almost two in the morning. Were you expecting depth of soul?)

My Purpose: All I can think about right now is Steve Martin in "The Jerk." Ahahahahahahahahaahhhahhaaahhhaaaaaaaa!!
Whew. Focus, Not Hannah. Um...my purpose is to connect as many people as I can with The Truth. The Big Good Thing. The Interconnectedness of All. You know...

My Pursuit: Becoming an author. I AM a writer, but in order to be an author, my book actually has to get out of the drawer (or my head) and on to a library and/or bookstore shelf. Also, I'd like to get the frickin' laundry done.

My Position: My Filing Cabinet, I have got a filthy mind at almost two in the morning. I'm going to say, "As left of center as one can get without having the loonies walk all over me." However, I am thinking of other things...

My Pummeling: Honestly, Ms. Karen, are we the same person? I'm thinking that if we combined our super powers, we could create a PERFECT WORLD, filled with muffins. Ahem. My parents are champion procrastinators and I learned my lessons well. Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned. No, no, no. I actually hope that the myriad lists I devise and post on my bulletin board will finally get me caught up on my life, but the truth is that they tend to make me feel sort of scattered and overwhelmed. I am now living my days in thirty minute increments via the timer we use for Jeffrey's time outs. I am beginning to think that scoffing at adult ADD was a tad harsh and premature.

My Progress: I'm learning to be more truthful, to speak more kindly, to stay out of other people's business, to do what I say I'm going to do. I'm writing and snuggling more. I'm trying to live by my philosophies. I'm trying to get my back fixed so I can run again.

My Personality: I have a horrible temper. I am a loyal friend. I forget birthdays and anniversaries and wallow in guilt. I love to mother people and take care of people in a crisis. I hold grudges. I love to laugh and make people laugh. I want to be genuine and fail miserably a lot of the time. I expect a lot out of people and want to help them get where they need to be. I can be cold when I'm stressed. It's the ninja in me.

Now, I'm supposed to tag people. I'm going to only tag folks who've commented recently (and who, you know, have blogs), so I'm going to tag Har-Twell, Coole Mama, Janice, ~Mommy~, Moonstarmommy, and Amber. Um. Yeah. I think that's it.

Dang. This blogging stuff is hard. Especially at 2:16 in the morning. I think my editor is trying to get me to quit my job. so....tired...

True that.

Thanks for doing the meme thing. This was my first one too, and I feel strange asking people to do something like that.

I'm a bit worried about us. We seem to be the same person, but one of us is living in another state.

I couldn't agree more with your statement about writer vs. author. I've said that over and over, and I usually end up with a blank stare and the "writer, author, what's the diff?" ARGH!

Oh, and on the position question, I had the same thought, but I filed it away since my mother's friend reads my blog and mails copies of it to my parents (they don't have a computer).

Good post, especially for two in the morning (what WERE you doing up at that time, anyway?

Coole Mama said...

Great post, thanks for the tag. It was actually pretty thought-provoking to do it.

BTW, I think friemily definitely works as a word. Great job on coining it.

LOL... I get looney at 2am! It's fun though - isn't it???

Thanks for the tag... ah... I think...

Stay tuned ... will have it up today... I hope?

heehee... btw - loved your answers... now hand me a muffin and let me think... (someone quite that crying baby!! Oh wait... no one is home but me and the crier... ::sigh::)

Thanks, y'all! How embarrassing would it have been if nobody that I tagged had done one? (The internet is like a large, John Hughes-movie high school, I've decided. I'm not like Joan Cusack in "Sixteen Candles," but I'm certainly not Molly Ringwald in "The Breakfast Club." I might be Jennifer Grey in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." I have no idea where I was going with that.)

Ahem. I was up at two because I kept falling asleep while watching the show I was assigned to watch and I'd have to rewind it to catch stuff I'd missed so I could write my questions. Then it took my editor an hour and a half to finally get to my questions. Loser.
