Good Lord, It’s A Meme
So, I was tagged by Ali which is actually semi convenient as I was planning an Ali plug anyhow. Ali’s not new to b5; she was already spilling green news at Daily Tomorrow.
However, she’s got a brand new green blog in town called Greener Assets. I adore the topic of green investing because we can make smart choices with our money if we know how. Greener Assets will be able to help you do this.
If you want to make money choices that are not only financially sound for your life but the planet as well than Green Assets is the place to be.
Now as to the meme…. It’s supposed to be 7 random things about me that you might not know so on with this show.
1. I HATE memes. Long-time regulars who followed me from say, Balance to Offbeat likely know that I am the worst tag ever for a meme because I usually won’t do them. I complain and whine about it until maybe months have gone by and I remember; “Heck I was supposed to do that meme.” In fact, I’ve been tagged quite often and in my whole blogging career I’ve followed through on exactly one meme. This was due to the fact that Susan at Brandcurve tagged me and I adore Brandcurve. If I hate memes so much why am I doing this one? Well, lately I’ve been re-hashing the whole meme deal and decided that one once in a while won’t kill me plus I like Greener Assets.
2. I was the world’s biggest X-Files fan. I cried (yes, literally cried) when the show ended. I love Scully and even had a tiny Scully doll with her own cell phone and alien on a gurney. Yes this is sad.
3. I’m all about health. I write about it all the time and hope that other people participate in healthy-minded activities yet drink more coffee than any one human should be allowed to drink by law.
4. I think that the person I have affected most with all my talk about sustainability is also the person I care about most; my son. However, I don’t think I’ve affected the person I care about second most in the whole world even one little bit when it comes to green issues and I doubt this person will ever be even semi-sustainable.
5. I am completely not brave about trying new foods and rarely will do so.
6. If I ever have a daughter I am naming her after a song but which song is a secret.
7. I wish my birthday was a different day. I was born on a major holiday and each year it falls on or around this holiday. I’ve never had an actual real birthday party bash on my birthday and almost no-one remembers that it’s even my birthday (including family). Everyone’s busy, I get it — but I still wish my birthday was some other time of the year.
Now; who to tag (I’m supposed to tag 7 poor people):
- Marye at Baking Delights because she makes baking steamy hot; if you know what I mean.
- Erin at Chic By Nature to keep this green and because it’s the only fashion blog suitable for me.
- Roberta at Ear Sucker for being a great participator and blogging her heart out (basically she’s on her blogging game and I’m impressed).
- Heather at Chocolate Bytes cause she’s one of the cool kids.
- Albert at the The Production Side because the PS is my favorite music channel blog plus he’s got some green going on inside.
- Jeanne at Idol Stalker for making me expand my horizons.
- Lauren at The Sydney Traveler for being the coolest Aussie girl I know.
I’m out — no more memes for a good long while.

Shut the front door!!! You are not going to believe this. I am such a huge X-Files fan that I bought all of the seasons (and movie) back in July and I made my family give it a try. They are hooked and we’ve been watching 2 episodes a day (we’re almost finished season 7). I hope you don’t mind that I’m going to include that in my thingy. I hate these things, Jennifer!!!!
Well, now I have more proof that we are from the same cloth, my friend. You can run, but you can’t hide :)

Ha; you’re joking! Cept, I know you aren’t. How funny is that. I guess I should have known. If I could have anything material and not honestly good for anything it would be all the seasons (it’s so expensive!) but I want it bad.
Also, wish I was going to Blog Expo so I could meet the you who is technically the other; slightly more Canadian me. There’s always next year I suppose. AND I’m sorry you’re almost done with season 7 — how depressing for the house to be almost done :(

I promise not to throw anymore meme’s in your direction but I couldn’t help myself - I love Tree Hugging Family! Thanks for the spreading the word about Greener Assets and Daily Tomorrow! Oh, and I still tear up when I think about the X-Files ending - I’m right there witcha on that one! And on the meme thing, too. But, ‘when in Rome’ I guess. :)

[…] last time I did one here at Offbeat was forever ago. Although, I did get forced into one at Tree Hugging Family too. Hmm, maybe if I do this one everyone will leave me out of this meme […]
