to Meme

Didn't this used to be called a "chain letter?" oh, well Maris liked it, and did it, sent it to me, so here's my shot:

meme/mēm/Noun

1. An element of a culture or behavior that may be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, esp. imitation.

2. An image, video, etc. that is passed from one Internet user to another.

If you can go back and relive one moment, what would it be?

I would re-live several little scenes and moments. For example, when I worked at Kanakuk Kamps in college, and I was petrified to jump from the faith pole, I’d go back and leap with abandon!

Or, I’d go back to Hawaii with my family and savor all of the small moments again.

Last one, I’d go back to the stage of the Last Laugh Comedy Contest in 2008 and revamp some material and hold back less jokes and just let ‘er rip. It was pretty cool as it were though.

If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?

I guess I sort of answered this prematurely in my previous explanation, but more specifically, I’d go back in time and take theatre classes in college. I wish I would have done more improv training and I wish my hair was longer as a little girl. If I had let my hair grow, and not insisted with such determination to get it out of my face/eyes so I could go back to playing outside and wearing baseball hats, I would have learned how to braid and do other fun things with the long hair that I have now.

What movie or TV character do you most resemble in personality?

Face/Hair: Jennifer Aniston (wannabe)

Body: Cameron Diaz (can’t you see it?)

Personality: Tina Fey Amy Poehler mash-up

What TV/movie character would you most like to be?

Maris’: Jodi Foster as Dr. Ellie Arroway in Contact. (Throwback!) Brilliant connection—I see it; fantastic movie!

Future film: Hunger Games; character: Katniss Everdeen. Let me say this too—Katniss Everdeen from the book. You know what I admire about her? Her ability to walk through and embrace significant pain both physically and emotionally. Katniss committed herself to leading people (the resistance) and sacrificed her talent/time/energy toward maintaining and fulfilling the ultimate commitment of preserving life.

Name one habit you would like to change about yourself.

Hmm, just one? Let’s see, I bite my nails when stressed/feel nervous. Oh, also, I feel the need to eat dessert after EVERY dinner. In fact, something sweet, usually small after lunch and dinner. HABIT.

Describe yourself in one word.
Evolving.

Describe the person who named you in this meme in one word.

Compassionate.

Why do you blog (answer in one sentence)?

I blog to offer world/daily encounters through my eyes with a sardonic tone and witty undercurrent that hopefully makes me smile, laugh and think.

Name at least 3 people to send this meme to, and then inform them.
