Memes, redux

[redbird]

Also, it seems fitting that I'm the only person to have included "resisting memes" on their LJ "interests" list.

Would I fail to be "resisting memes" if I included "resisting memes" on MY interests list? Too many of them are too much like chain letters for my tastes.

I don't know. I was startled, when I put it in there, to see that it was unique; that was some time ago.

Most of them that aren't chain letters are just plain silly: what fairy tale villain/flavor of gelato/little league sports team are you?

Right, that's puts me in an existential dilemma.

Memes are just too much fun to hack about with to devote myself to resisting, though.

I suspect you needn't worry about the existential dilemma, from the other comments here.

Not for long.

And...yeah. Most of them are just a waste of time. Some are interesting...but even of those, I usually don't indulge.
