Tagged I’m it Redux: Eight Random Things About Me (Meme Me)
By Roberta Rosenberg on Jul 19, 2007 in Meme Play
Greg Verdino is Chief Strategy Officer at crayon. Like me, he’s an Age of Conversation contributor. Like me, as well, he also enjoys a good meme among friends, both new and old. Hence, he tagged me (and I’m perfectly delighted that he did) for one more meme exercise.
(Similar to the 5 Things You Didn’t Know About Me meme. Just more of it, I guess 
So here it is, 8 Random Things About Me:
- I could have worked on the original advertising campaign for AOL back in the late 1980s, but I had to take a pass because I was already a Section Leader on Compuserve (Religion and Sex, of all things.)
- I hate beets, although I keep trying them to be a good role model for my kids.
- In my whole life, I’ve bought only one car completely on my own dime (not mingling the moolah with a dad or hubby.) I kept my 1989 Camry for 17 years.
- I’ll tell anyone my age, but only my doctor will ever know my weight.
- I quit graduate school when I discovered how much I enjoyed copywriting.
- I think Mark Ruffalo is completely hot.
- I do a perfect imitation of the Warner Brothers cartoon baby vulture.
- I enjoy reading the celebrity plastic surgery news in the Star, National Enquirer, and especially here.
And there you have it. The good, the bad and the sublime. (Yes, that’s Mark Ruffalo — again.)
Now it’s my turn to tag: Greg chose 8 folks randomly from the Age of Conversation contributor list. That’s a great idea worth repeating, so here - in no particular order - are my tag-eez:

And to think I’m a middle-aged mom to 3 - even MORE frightening

Somebody already beat you to it! Here’s my 8: http://giddlebits.wordpress.com/2007/07/18/8-random-things-about-me/
And I hate to be the party-pooper, but the last time I played this game I got chastised by those I tagged, so it will end with me this time. Sorry!

Well, with so many folks having bested me, I just might have to retool my list and try again … unless you’re a Maven Reader and would just like to jump in.
In fact, I wish you would!

Alas, I too was already tagged with this. Perhaps we need a meme database to see who has been tagged with which meme. My post is here
