it seems to be the rage.
meme:
1 : an idea, belief or belief system, or pattern of behavior that spreads throughout a culture either vertically by cultural inheritance (as by parents to children) or horizontally by cultural acquisition (as by peers, information media, and entertainment media)
4 : in blogspeak, an idea that is spread from blog to blog
from urbandictionary.com
now i wasn’t tagged or requested to do this- simply for the obvious reason that about four people in the world know a) that my blog exists and b) actually bother to read it (on occasion me hopes)- however despite this silly inconsequential fact of not being made to do this, or forced to pass it on- i wanted to none the less: if purely for the reason that every bloody blog i read has done so, and i feel the petty need to be part of the cool crowd. Never mind the fact that I’m mindlessly bored and its either this or work. so here...
4 jobs i've held
• food prep/ cashier at amos cole- where i had to wear cream trousers, tartan braces, a blue short about 300 x too big for me, and a beige hat as part of the uniform
• manager/ sales assistant at second hand book store, bookworms- probably the best job ive ever had, as could sit on my ass, drink endless coffee with chocolate biscuits and read all day long: with a warm cat on my lap to keep me entertained
• clothing sales assistant- urban outfitters (most boring and financially unrewarding job ive ever held)
• one day temp job at dental clinic in dublin: where four of the dentists had similar, if not the same surnames- try that in irish accents while doing switchboard
4 .. or 3 places i've lived:
• durbs by the sea all my life (i blame that entirely on studying for far too long)
• tiniest town in italy, borso, for a month
• dublin for 2 months
4 places ive holiday-ed
• botswana- four long weeks of camping around the entire country
• london- too crazy
• italy- too beautiful
• around ireland- too wet/ cold (yet some parts- too amazing)
4 movies I could watch forever
• amelie
• a very long engagement (the end gets me every time)
• ferris beuller’s day off
• run lola run.. or finding nemo.. or Donnie darko.. so tricky to chose just four
4 sites i visited very day
too many but again i'll limit
• boys in montana to check the antics
• dooce
• straybomb- check for updated news and/ or gossip
• my own (to check any comments left- lame i know- there never really are many/ any!)
• seeing as the above one doesn’t count.. it would have to be 3hive or uncrate.. music or cheesy gadgets: so hard to choose.
4 tv show I love to watch
• the simpsons
• six feet under
• the west wing
• blush but *isidingo*
• (another blush but when available ie access to dstv: “one tree hill”- theres something about cheesy teen dramas/ local soaps that gets me)
4 places i'd rather be (couch where im currently sitting doesnt count)
• in bed with my book: its rainy and cold today so snuggled with coffee under my duvet- and im craving cake/ baked goods so there would have to be some
• in mexico drunk on tequila with friends- preferably on some great private beach, no one but us
• montana
• in this tiny hidden seafood restaurant that won my heart in venice (i'd sell my soul to have that clam pasta again- although with the bill i'd probably have to)
4, nay 5 of my favourite dishes- this is by the far hardest to limit
• jon & my famous sandwich combinations (the entire ciabatta was the best)
• spiga d’oro’s pasta della roma- creamyish, with pesto pasta, with grilled peppers and chicken (and so much garlic) oh and a focaccia to start with
• SUUUUUUUUUSHI
• chicken korma with lots of naan bread
• umm funny but last one would have to actually be my daily bowl of pronutro or oats.. I do love breakfast: or a Sunday morning late fry-up.
4.. well some im tagging with the continuation on this- tricky seeing as I could count the people I know with blogs.. on say three fingers.
• jon and montana boys
• candy
• gina- it’s a long shot but a girls gotta try

I always did wonder if anyone read my blog, so today I decided to get a hit counter to check how many hits I actually do get to see if my page does get visited...we will have to wait and see! I read your blog everyday a) coz the meg mind is pretty entertaining b) you are my friend, even though we are newbies and c) I miss durbz and all my friends and I also like to hear what you have to say!
So yeah, that pretty much sums it up! If you want a counter, click on my counter on my page and it will take you to their site and you can choose your own and everything!
xoxo
This is what I am scared of the most....being sucked in by the madness that is joburg. But I have made a promise to myself....when I move with my famdam into the new house, my room is going to be my little durban away from home and I will send you photos and everything and your pic will also be up there with everyone else's. I want to come back, and its in my heart to, just have to stay focused.
Its funny, as I read your comment on my last post, I had just posted something along the lines of what you said. Funny hey?
So this meme thingy, do I just copy and paste it as an entry on my blog and send it to fellow bloggers or what? I have no idea what to do with it!
