The Facebook Meme (aka The FaceTwit Meme)
It's a little longer than usual but I just couldn't stop in 140 words or less. Sorry.

1. Facebook has now surpassed Google in number of users and traffic.
How much time do you spend on Facebook? If not FB, do you use Twitter?

2. What is Farmville? I do not understand why people are asking me for margarine.

3. Do you war in the Mafia Wars? I do not understand why people are asking me for cows.

4. What is Cafe World? I do not understand why people are asking me for bullets!

5. Are you being bombarded with these "See Who Has Been Looking At your Profile - See Who Your Peeps Are?" application request lately?
I don't understand why people are asking me for my photograph and that of my dogs.

6. Which FB or Twitter applications, tags or gifts irritate you the most and why?

7. Every morning I am faced with the question at the top of my Facebook profile page, "What's On Your Mind?" Now Mr. Online Mailman wants to know the same thing. Does the whole world need to know what I'm thinking at every moment? I can't write that in a public place ya know. But if you had to answer that question honestly at 9:00 am each morning, what would you say?

8. Do you know how you became friends and followers with everyone in your list on Facebook and Twitter?

9. Have you ever been deceived online by someone you thought was someone else? How did you know?

10. Do you enjoy chatting via Yahoo Messenger or AOL the old-fashioned way? If so, who do you chat with most online?

11. Have you ever been contacted on Facebook or via email under false pretenses, for dubious purposes, or by meddling nosy people in general?

12. Think about it. We are all flitting around making bird noises on the internet. What would the PETA people say?! Can you think of a more suitable animal mascot for Twitter? What kind of sound would we make?

13. What kind of new cool innovative application would you like to see on Facebook or Twitter? What would you call it?

14. Have you ever had to block someone from Facebook or Twitter?

15. Do you allow your real life friends to communicate with you there or do you prefer to be incognito to the universe at large?

16. Do you belong to any CAUSES on Facebook or Twitter? If so, what makes you passionate about them and why did you join?

17. Do you know what a Twibe is?

18. Have you ever rage twitted? Tell me!

19. I find that more and more people are reading my blogs on Facebook and commenting there. Do you share your blog posts on Facebook? Do you find that it helps or hinders your blog traffic?


20. Wanna be my friend on FB? I have nearly 800 now. At least I'd recognize you!
Don't you be foolin' me now. There's always the dreaded dungeon.
I wonder if there's an app for that. Hmmmm......

The Queen's Tuesday Meme #29 ~ The Bucket List Meme

Welcome to the Queen's Tuesday Meme #29

Sometimes silly.

Always fun!

It's not original. It's not my idea. This meme has been around in various forms. Call it whatever you wish. But I thought it would be interesting to make a wish list of things you want to accomplish or do before you ....um....well....die. Cheery, no? Just like the two characters in the 2007 motion picture, The Bucket List, we all have a list in our heads. I'm not sure I've ever actually written mine down. Some I've already crossed off. I think it's time for a fresh new slate of ideas and direction for me. I've been through a lot of change in the last year. And even though the list might change periodically, nevertheless, the task gives me pause.
What AM I doing to push forward those dreams of mine? Maybe it will help if I write them down. And what hinders me from getting them done? That is the bigger question.

The rules: There are none. List as many things as you'd like. Give us your answers in pictures, words or song lyrics. Make it serious or funny. Your choice.
What's on your list?

The Queen's Meme #28 ~ The Never Should Meme

The Never Should Meme
Brought to you from the sunny beaches of Somewhere whilst on vacation.

I actually believe that if "shoulds" and "nevers" were banned from the English language we'd all be better off. Who needs to live in absolutes? Should evokes unnecessary and unhealthy guilt.
Never is never enough no matter what you should be doing. Not ever! See? But in this fill-in-the-blank exercise you can be as dogmatic and brutal as you dare.
After today's meme, lose the words.
Seriously.
You should.
Oh, never mind.


1. If I never see ____________again it will be too soon.

2. Should I meet my Maker tomorrow, I would ask for one more day on earth to _____________________.

3. Never in my life have I ______________like I did today.

4. I should always allow more time to _________.

5. I should've never listened to _________ while under the influence of _____________.

6. I never ___________in my car but I should always carry ______________with me just in case.

7. I should spend more money on _______ because it makes me happy. I should spend less money on _________because it makes me sad.

8. _____________ should never be shared with strangers.

9. I should tell ___________that I never really meant to _____________.

10. Never in a million years would I want you to know ________________.

P.S. I will writing my answers in the sand with my toes. This could take a while.
I hope someone is feeding Homer.
