...as seen on miketroll 's blog. I'm not that much of a reader (I know, I know... and I'm ashamed but it's how it is!) but even I should be able to score above 6 on this list. Let's see.

The BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books listed here.

1) Put an 'x' after those you have read.
2) Add a '+' to the ones you LOVE.
3) Star (*) those you plan on reading (as in, they are somewhere in the house).
4) Tally your total at the bottom.

Look, here they are. My keys.



I've not known where they were for weeks and weeks. Not that I'd lost them; I was pretty sure they were in the house somewhere. But we have so much 'somewhere' here. So I used my spare key instead.

Today, I got tired of not knowing where my keys were; so, first of all, I decided to do a washload of several pairs of jeans. They might turn up while checking the pockets, right? But they didn't.
I put the jeans in the washing machine anyway, and decided to move on.
Next up: motorbike jackets. I have several, at least four of which are usable, and may well have been worn in the past three months.
The first jacket rewarded me with a small LED torch, a Euro coin and a piece of (wrapped) chocolate, so I knew I was onto a good thing. I kept going.
Alas, no keys in any of the bike jackets, either.
So I moved on to the jackets and coats on the coat rack, and behold, there they were in the pocket of a rain jacket! Only the second one I searched, too.

So now I'm eating the chocolate that I've earned, feeling rather pleased with myself, and taking a picture of my keys to show them to you, now that I've found them again. Finding stuff is great.

If you're reading this (and I know you are!) then please post a picture of your keys! Keys are so personal, we have them with us everyday. I'd like to see yours. Please?
I promise to comment and say what they tell me about you.

Copied from gummihuhn , because a surprisingly large number of his answers are the same as mine. Lazyness is its own reward.

A list of 100 things meme works as follows:

Original Directions:
bold = I've done it
italicized = not done it but want to
underline = not done it and DO NOT WANT TO EVER
( Under the cut. )

From rockdg9  , who got it from miketroll  (not -stigen).

100 foods you should eat. Bold what you've eaten, italicize what you've eaten and hated, strikethrough those you're not willing to ever try. Underline ones you have no idea what they are.

Of course, this is heavily influenced by the fact that I don't eat meat. If you see meat dishes marked as 'eaten', I've had them before I quit meat.

Last year, stoneshop, gummihuhn and I went to Finowfurt, Germany, on a nerdy version of summer camp. (Some of you may remember that.)
Since we were volunteering to help running things (they called us Chaos Angels... doesn't that sound nice?) I made several cardboard signs, telling people not to climb the bunkers, not to step on the fiberoptic cables or not to let their dogs (which shouldn't have been there in the first place) roam the site and pee on people's tents.

Now all of a sudden this picture of one of the signs I made pops up on a 'funny stuff found all over the internets' site, and is spotted by someone who then posts it on a motorcycling forum I read.
I never intended this sign for the internet. it was simply a sign, made for practical reasons, and I tried to make it a bit silly so people would notice it more and not think we were nagging about the rules.
This must be how memes are born.

Okay, we've seen memes before... but this one is certainly different enough for me to be amused. I hope you like it, too.

...here goes:

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your journal and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.

(Saw this in miketroll's and diamondlucy's journal and liked the idea.)
