My creativity is sadly lacking

Posted by Corrie at 9:54 AM

So I decided to do some memes. I had heard this word before but had no idea what it acutally meant untill I did some research. Here's the basics for those of you that need the info.
A meme is:

  • An idea that, like a gene, can replicate and evolve.
  • A unit of cultural information that represents a basic idea that can be transferred from one individual to another, and subjected to mutation, crossover and adaptation.
  • A cultural unit (an idea or value or pattern of behavior) that is passed from one generation to another by nongenetic means (as by imitation); "memes are the cultural counterpart of genes".
  • The term and concept of meme is from the 1976 book by Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene.

    • So anyway, these memes are all over the web, and what they do for me is give me something to write about on a day where I can't think of anything good to say but really want to write so that you all listen to me and tell me how pretty I am.

    This one is from http://subliminal.lunanina.com
    For this one, they give me a word and I write the first thing that comes to mind. I hate to tag people but if you want to do this, do it in the comments section or on your own blog and link it back. :)
