It's All About Meme
i've been pretty good of late not doing every meme and quiz i run across, but today ... i dunno ... just feels like a good day to not resist that urge. i guess it's because i'm knocking a lot of little things off my todo list preparing for the bigger todos.
The List of Five
i actually tracked this one back to the source because i was rather surprised the list was 5. i'm sure we've all had that conversation with a significant other -- you know, the one where you tell your SO that if so-and-so knocked on the door and offered themselves up... there'd be no question, i'd be going for it. the typical choice is someone famous, but the idea is that they are at the very least untouchable... meaning, it ain't happenin'. and if it did, it would be a miracle of biblical proportions that well... your spousal-unit would just have to accept it so the universe doesn't instantly implode.
so the meme is to list out five (i always thought it was one) celebrities that you simply could not reject, so starting with my one and listed four others that would certainly get more than their due consideration...
