So, last week I was “tagged” (or I received a “meme” as bloggers sometimes call it) and totally missed it.
Most likely, I was out holiday shopping but I can’t remember what happened yesterday, much less last week, to give you any kind of detailed explanation as to why I missed it. Just suffice it to say, I’m relatively sure I had a pretty good reason for missing the tag. So, today, I’m making up for lost time!
Anyway, if you don’t know what a meme is, it’s the blogger’s version of the game of tag you played as a kid with a grown up twist. Toby Bloomberg over at Diva Marketing tagged me only I don’t have to freeze or anything (see freeze tag) but I am IT. And I do have to follow the rules which go something like this…
- I have to tell 5 things about me that you’d have no way of knowing.
- I have to tag a couple of other bloggers to do the same and they can be bloggers I know or bloggers I’d like to know more about. So, here goes…
5 Things you Didn’t Know About Me (and maybe never wanted to)
- I started going grey when I was 16 years old. Not kidding. My friends thought I had some strange looking highlights. By the time I hit 25 I had a good dose of white going on and now it’s pretty much white all over…like Storm on X-Men white. It’s some genetic anomaly me and Anderson Cooper share.
- I was a programmer in my previous life. But I’ve overcome and worked out my karma and now I’m in marketing. (just came up with that one so even I didn’t know that about myself till just now…lol – but it does explain my fascination with all things technological)
- Every year I go to the beach with a group of women I call the church ladies. You know the commercials - What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas…
- A few years ago I found Gilligan’s Island . It’s now called Kauia, Hawaii and turns out a lot of other people found it too.
- I love the idea of going green. I live in a very hippie-fied area of the country (Asheville, NC ), I recycle, I have an organic flower garden and I used to be vegetarian so it only makes sense.
TAG, YOU’RE IT!
Holly Buchanan because I really like her blog and she knows how to keep it real!
Todd Tweedy over at BoldMouth because he has a lot to say about word of mouth marketing and socialization on the web.
Jim Boykin because I love SEO and he’s pretty darn good at it (although he might have been tagged, already)
Debbie Weil because her book is really good, she knows her stuff and I want to get to know her better.
Alex Harris because he's an excellent designer and really understands what eCommerce is all about.
Thanks for playing along. Love GNO trips .. and Hawaii is on my list of places to go.
