My oh my meme

I've been Tagged! Twice! How exciting :)
My first reaction was to wonder just where the word 'meme' came from, I think it must be an abbreviation of the Ab Fab line "I'm sorry if it sounds selfish, Sweetie, but me me me me me!"

So, five things about me:

1. I make up words (rather a lot).
I put this down to the fact that, at an estimated 750,000 to a million words, the English language is not nearly vast enough and sometimes new words just have to be made up to fill a void. (Such as enther)

2. I sometimes wonder if my life is the Truman Show
But then I reassure myself that They wouldn’t have made that movie if it was because I would catch on too easily… but then I wonder if that’s what They want me to think!

3. I’m a feminist as long as it doesn’t involve heavy lifting
While I think equal rights are very important and I wouldn’t want to go back to a time when women had no rights, couldn't work, couldn’t vote, etc. but I don’t really have a problem with gender roles. Men are (generally) physically stronger than women so, as far as I’m concerned, they can carry new furniture into the house and I’ll do the grocery shopping. (Possibly this is an excuse for being lazy, but I like my definition better.)

5. I was born with fake fingernails
This is he only reasonable explanation I can come up with as to why my nails are so gosh darn perfect. People look at me and say “Wow, are those things real?!” and I gave up hoping they were talking about my bust (or lack thereof) a long time ago.

4. I had intended to make all of that very funny
I don’t know if it worked or not though because, after watching Dylan Moran, nothing else can ever be funny again. It all seems kinda dull to me, but I’ll post anyway and y’all can let me know what you think.

I tag… Original Mel, Surfercam, Arian Dalliancer and whoever comments this post first.

Hurrah! Good list.

2. I have thought this frequently over the years. Thankfully, my paranoia has plateaued and my attitude is more like Will's from About A Boy, where he says that life is like a sitcom, and you're the major star.

3. Totally. Being a feminist doesn't mean that women and men are totally the same in everything. Like lifting heavy shit.

5. We should have a Black Books-athon one day, Nerd.
