BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Four meme.



Thursday, December 29, 2005  

Four meme.


I don't know who started this four questions thing, and I don't care enough to research it (I followed the source back seven links from this one before I gave up. It's like opening Russian dolls.) but over the past couple of weeks I've seen it on maybe 3/4 of the blogs I read. I still think it's sort of stupid, but as everyone else does it my resistance to following the herd has eroded like a corpse in sulfuric acid rock in the surf. And here we are:

Four jobs you've had in your life:
Stadium food vendor, co-webmaster, SAT Test Prep assistant, yard maintenance engineer.

Four movies you could watch over and over:
Pulp Fiction, LotR:FotR, Aliens, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

Four places you've lived:
Syracuse, NY; Raleigh, NC; Arlington, TX; San Diego, CA.

Four TV shows you love to watch:
NFL/NCAA Football, UFC, Jerry Springer, CSI. (I don't honestly love watching any of those, but I do watch them all fairly regularly, the last three only on the couch with Malaya, who got me into them in the first place.

Four places you've been on vacation:
Anchorage, Alaska; Honolulu, Hawaii; Lafayette, CA; Saint Louis, Missouri.

Four websites you visit daily:
Get Fuzzy, Political Animal, Rotten Tomatoes, D-Listed.

Four of your favorite foods:
Pizza, garden burgers, nachos supreme, fresh strawberries.

Four places you'd rather be:
Nowhere, but I'd like to upgrade to a large home of our own in this area.


Seems to me this is most effective as a framing device, or an honesty check, though you'd need to really know the tastes of the blogger to tell how honest they were being. What is a person willing to admit to, on their blog? Every blog I've seen post this has listed nothing but political blogs in their "what blogs do you visit" answer, and generally only ones from their own ideology. No one admits to any really awful movies or TV shows either. Well, I'm no exception, but I did try to answer honestly. I wish there were a few more personally-illuminating questions though, especially ones from a the other side of the coin. 4 celebrities you want dead, 4 books you hate, 4 things you've done in your 4 jobs that you should have been fired for it anyone had caught you doing them, 4 places you would never want to live, etc.

Some of those would break the short answer magic of the quiz though, so perhaps I'll streamline them and try and start that trend myself, thus helping to make the Internet a darker, less pleasant place.
Comments:

I like the alphabet one meme. You type in each letter from the alphabet after www. into your browser, and write down what the auto-complete web address is and post it on your blog so everyone can see what kind of sick porn sites you go to.
