And I don't even know what a meme is!

[vdansk]

OK, I am clearly out of my league here, playing with things I don't even know the definition of.  Is meme even in the dictionary?  Um...no, it's not, at least not in Merriam Webster's 10th edition.  But, too foolish to back down from a challenge only half understood, I will proceed.  I stole this from sirhc hero who stole it from saxikath.

The Goal: Describe me in one word. Positive or negative.

No Peeking: Leave your word in a comment before looking at what words others have used.

Extra Credit: Copy and paste the meme to your journal to find out how people will describe you when limited to one word.

I've always found you to be a compassionate person.

Memes are self-replicating ideas. Go read Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash, an excellent sci-fi book. (Not so good if you're repulsed by violence. It's not particularly violent, but it's a gritty world, and I wouldn't want to upset anyone via a book recommendation.)

As he puts it, advertising jingles, Bart Simpson t-shirts, political movements, and religions are all memes. The idea gets into a person's brain, and like a virus, replicates by infecting nearby hosts.

Or in this case, gets into one lj and replicates by infecting nearby lj's. :)

And no, I don't have a one-word description of you. :)
