here goes a[nother] meme
i'm a closet quiz-whore. pondering seriously on inane questions are my kinda thing.
and the swiftness with which memes and quizzes pervade the blogosphere never ceases to amaze me with their testament that a good part of our generation (give and take some five, six, ten years) are caught up with the upkeep and maintainance of an online rant-space. various messageboards, blog groups aiming for inclusiveness (like tomorrow), or blog circles (like is my blog burning) one can join to share experiences not only helps everyone feel at home in the blogosphere, but also keep each other updated on events.
the up side on these online communities, is that most are welcome as long as they observe certain codes of conduct. respect being foremost. and as blinkymummy succinctly puts it, one can take one's time assessing the situation and deciding on a response to the other in an online situation. that plants the ball firmly in your court.
unfortunately, the downside is that flaming (ranging from small jabs of sarcasm to hurled molotov cocktails of insinuations) often occurs if one, in all holier-than-thou seriousness, exacerbates the situation by reporting the actions of another to the [very public, somewhat controlled] media without first seeking permission, or making his intent known. i followed the unfolding of the rockson vs ephraim saga with some amusement. however, i believe the said publication is largely to blame for recommending the blog for public consumption.
an individual, being the idiosyncratic entity it is, can choose for itself, based on preference, the types of sites to visit. having a friend recommend a site to you happens on a different scale to that of a publication with a nationwide distribution. however, as umbridge *hem, hem* has found out to her detriment, placing a contraband on an article rockets it to "most desirable" status.
that said, i need to begin on the meme. from s.

hm, myself, i'd take NS-talk over soccer any day. i think this is one reason why i prefer the company of queens ... or maybe i've just been hanging around the wrong guys.
(sometimes, it's hard enough to avoid stereotyping people, but they themselves aren't really helping ...)
I can't believe I did the list as you told me to. Ha!
i think the 7 things to do before you die... is possible... u can play the cello... and hut by beach... OK! cheap cheap ehh
but the 7 things you CAN do...
i never knew u can cook YUMMY mee sua with mince pork and egg...
according to ur self-righteous-friend, she says that u cannot cook for nuts....
s: hmm. you're right about the soccer point too. it hasn't bothered me as much perhaps because i've never understood a thing about soccer to begin with!
i'd irritate the hell out of them just by asking what's what, and who's who.
barney: δΉ–...
pangster: excuse me... the self-righteous friend, in order to maintain her self-righteousness, has been lying. you said my mushrooms in garlic butter were yummy wat!
*points* Gah! *turns into goo and glides away*
*glides back*
Heh! The NS thing...funny and so true.
right i forgot ahh... the mussels were good also... haha!!!
i love damon from blur too!
thanks for tagging me.. i shall do it when i have more time hehe.
Whoops! Just saw your tag, heh heh heh.
