“Last Day of November”
Sounds like a book title, doesn’t it? Hmmm, OK, I’ll bite – I’m going to go see if it IS a book title and write about it! Yep, I didn’t have any idea what I would write about today, I just knew I wanted to post SOMETHING.
I’ll be right back. (oh – another funny/weird thing: I keep typing the word ‘WRITE’ when I mean ‘RIGHT’!)
NO BOOK. I found a song for sale called ‘Last November Day’ but no novels. Only lots and lots of blogs that have used this same title. So much for that!
So let’s do a MEME!
Mom asked me last night, “What’s a meme?” and I believe the quick definition I gave was, “It’s a game or series of questions that stimulates comments and discussion; almost like a game of tag that stimulates getting to know each other through the blog-world.”
But if you look up MEME in Wikipedia…. WOW! You get all sorts of stuff and a lot of it is over my head and beyond my interest level. Let’s settle for ‘internet phenomenon.” I pronounce it as rhyming with ‘gleam’.
One meme that is going around now is the MEME of SEVEN. I share 7 things about myself and ‘tag’ other bloggers to do the same. The rules involve letting those bloggers know that they have been tagged and encourage linking back to me. Another interesting MEME I’ve been reading is to shuffle the songs in your iPod and use the song title to answer a series of questions, then analyze… But since I don’t have an iPod, this meme is not one I will play. The ABC meme requires the blogger to provide interesting self revelations in alphabetical order.
So here goes:
Reading Trouble Meme
1. Have you ever gotten into trouble for reading?
2. Has reading ever SAVED you from getting into trouble?
3. What was the first boook you read that you KNEW you would get into trouble reading if caught?
Now, on the tagging part, I prefer to not list anyone specifically. Just know that if you want to play, please do and leave a comment here to I know to go read your blog! If you don’t have a blog, just leave your answers in the comments to this post.
and now I’ll play my own meme!
1. I don’t recall ever getting into trouble for reading. I do know that I have been frowned upon by my spouse when I prefer to read a book rather than engage in tv watching or conversations with family. It’s referred to as ‘YOU’RE BEING RUDE’. sigh.
2. This second question I will answer by recollections of HIDING with a book when I was kid visiting with my cousin (let’s call her “LL”). We were one year apart in age and I really just didn’t like her much when we were children! So I would hide and read or just flat out read in front of her and ignore her at every opportunity. This probably helped me develop focusing skills!
3. The first book I recall looking at and being VERY NERVOUS for the possibility of getting caught was The Joy of Sex at my uncle’s house while babysitting Spencer, (my uncle Stan had a cool collection of books…) I would slowly sneak it off the shelf and was on pins and needles paying attention to the clock so I would have plenty of time to put it back before my Aunt & Uncle got home! I just KNEW that book was telling on me, somehow betraying that a mere child was opening up and looking at these pictures. What’s funny is, I can’t remember if I learned anything from it.
I also remember submitting a Danielle Steele book to my Honors English teacher and she allowed it ; I thought she was going to tell me it was trash. I just now tried to go look up which one it was but I don’t remember! None of her book titles look familar to me…
