I just want to start this off with a Happy Birthday to the Blog God/Lord/Master/President/Guru and all round Nice Guy – Dave from Blogography. If you don’t know who he is then I am here to tell you that your life is poorer for it. I have never had the pleasure of meeting him face to face (I hope to rectify that one day) but from what other’s have said it’s like meeting the Pope… but with more booze.
Happy Birthday Dave. You’re even hot when you’re hungover.
So, when I do a meme, it’s not because I can’t be bothered to write something new and shiny. I suppose it’s got something to do with fitting in… and following the crowd… And that’s as deep as I’m getting today – the reason is hidden in the meme.
So, stolen from SJ and Kapgar…
Ten seconds ago I was distracting myself by hunting for a shiny new mobile.
Ten minutes ago I was answering comments from lovely lovely people.
Ten days ago I was organising Mum and Dad’s Silver Wedding Anniversary and totally not stressing out about it.
Ten weeks ago I was sorting out someone’s wireless network.
Ten months ago I was organised in a new house and ‘lovely’ housemates had just moved in.
Ten years ago I was at uni in the first year falling in love… and being me.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Ten years from now I will be staring 40 in the face and not be afraid.
Ten months from now I will have ticked one of the boxes.
Ten weeks from now I will have moved out into my own place… again…
Ten days from now I will have assimilate whatever Wednesday brings into my life and getting on with it.
Ten minutes from now I will be holding my cat, stroking her chest and trying to slow her breathing.
Ten seconds from now I will press publish.

Hilly – Has he not been crowned and accepted by the world yet? Are the rebel forces still fighting? Why won’t they just succumb?

This is a very cool meme. Simple but really insightful. I would steal it but I can never remember what I was doing 10 minutes ago. Chardonnay pickled my brain you see ;o)

This has to be the only meme ever written on which *everyone* gives the same answer for the last question!
Tomorrow, if you feel a funny sensation on your palm, it’s me being there in spirit, holding your hand.
There is power in positive thinking.
SJ’s last blog post..More March meme madness

Dave2 – Standard supplication is it? Or shall we drag out the full rituals?
Penelope – I like the shortness of it the most! I have the pickled brain problem too… but it’s usually a nice white Zinfandel!
Karl – Dave goes as a matter of course, does he not?
SJ – It’s such a good answer though!
Thank you SJ. I feel so stupid about this – I know I’m over-reacting. Too much time to over-analyse!

This is a great meme. I’m excited to hear you’re moving out into your own place again. That’s brilliant. So when’s the housewarming?

Selma – it’s more of a hopeful plan than an actuality at the moment. BUT as soon as it becomes real the party is on!
