Always fun!
Step out of the box.
Be creative.
Use your imagination.
No one’s answers are quite like yours.

The Facebook Meme (aka The FaceTwit Meme)
It’s a little longer than usual but I just couldn’t stop in 140 words or less. Sorry.

1. Facebook has now surpassed Google in number of users and traffic.
How much time do you spend on Facebook? If not FB, do you use Twitter?

I have been known to spend all day on Facebook. But lately I have not spent as much time there. I use TweetDeck for Twitter, so I always see my tweets and can respond right away if I want to.

2. What is Farmville? I do not understand why people are asking me for margarine.

It is a farming game. hmmm no one has asked me for margarine, but they have been asking me for gold and building supplies. As soon as I finish this meme I am going to go harvest my bell peppers.

3. Do you war in the Mafia Wars? I do not understand why people are asking me for cows.

I do not play mafia wars

4. What is Cafe World? I do not understand why people are asking me for bullets!

Cafe world is a game about owning your own restaurant. Why are they asking for bullets? That is strange!

5. Are you being bombarded with these “See Who Has Been Looking At your Profile – See Who Your Peeps Are?” application request lately?
I don’t understand why people are asking me for my photograph and that of my dogs.

Yes, I have also heard rumors that it was a virus. I have no idea if that is true or not.

6. Which FB or Twitter applications, tags or gifts irritate you the most and why?

None really irritate me. If I get some request or whatever that I do not have an interest in,I just hit the ignore button.

7. Every morning I am faced with the question at the top of my Facebook profile page, “What’s On Your Mind?” Now Mr. Online Mailman wants to know the same thing. Does the whole world need to know what I’m thinking at every moment? I can’t write that in a public place ya know. But if you had to answer that question honestly at 9:00 am each morning, what would you say?

I would say I was thinking about coffee and going back to bed.

8. Do you know how you became friends and followers with everyone in your list on Facebook and Twitter?

Facebook yes, twitter no

9. Have you ever been deceived online by someone you thought was someone else? How did you know?

11. Have you ever been contacted on Facebook or via email under false pretenses, for dubious purposes, or by meddling nosy people in general?

No

12. Think about it. We are all flitting around making bird noises on the internet. What would the PETA people say?! Can you think of a more suitable animal mascot for Twitter? What kind of sound would we make?

Sheep BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

13. What kind of new cool innovative application would you like to see on Facebook or Twitter? What would you call it?

hmmmm I have no idea

14. Have you ever had to block someone from Facebook or Twitter?

both

15. Do you allow your real life friends to communicate with you there or do you prefer to be incognito to the universe at large?

18. Have you ever rage twitted? Tell me!

no

19. I find that more and more people are reading my blogs on Facebook and commenting there? Do you share your blog posts on Facebook? Do you find that it helps or hinders your blog traffic?

I think it helps my traffic

20. Wanna be my friend on FB? I have nearly 150 now. At least I’d recognize you!
Don’t you be foolin’ me now.
If you look under the “Follow Me” near the top of the page you will see a button to be my friend on Facebook, and also on Twitter.

Today we ripped this meme off a blogger named Lily at the blog F*ck Art Let’s Dance. She does not say where she found the meme. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Welcome to the Queen’s Tuesday Meme #29

The rules: There are none. List as many things as you’d like. Give us your answers in pictures, words or song lyrics. Make it serious or funny. Your choice.
What’s on your list?

I tried participating in this one and I just could not manage it. For three years I was living with a very horrible depression, during which I tried to kill myself. I thought about my death all the time. I have been in depression recovery for the last year, thinking about other things besides death. My mind is just not in a place where I can handle something even as simple as a bucket list. Sorry for being a party pooper
