I'm stealing a Sunday Stealing meme and here's what they have to say about it:
"Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Sunday Stealing originated on
WTIT: The Blog authored by
Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!
Today we ri
pped this meme of a blogger known as
Emily Barton, the Queen 'o Memes at
Telecommuter Talk. We were lucky to find this meme. Emily actually
wrote it herself (when do we find that? We'd guess maybe once a year.) We have told Emily that we stole it but we've already been given permission. Emily wrote, "Are you reading this? Then the Queen has tagged you. Get on with it." Thanks, Your Majesty! Link back to us at
Sunday Stealing!
Cheers to all of us thieves!
Sunday Stealing: The Time Traveler Meme
Emily's Rules:
1. Depending on your age, go back 10, 15, 20, or even more years.
2. Tell us how many years back you have traveled and why.
3. Pretend you have met yourself during that era, and tell us where you are.
4. You only have one "date" with this former self.
5. Answer these questions.
Okay, as we start, what year is it and how old are you? I'm going to head back to HS graduation, I would be 17 at that time......**sigh**
1. Would your younger self (YYS, from here) recognize you when you first meet?
My younger self would say, "Who the hell is this fat bitch and what does she want from me?"
2. Would YYS be surprised to discover what you are doing job wise?
She would be totally upset that life had passed me by and that I never got to college til I was 32.
3. What piece of fashion advice would you give YYS?
Seriously those 'floods' need to be put away! Far far away!
4. What do you think YYS is most going to want to know?
How wonderful and great our marriage turned out!
5. How would you answer YYS's question?
Sweetie, we've been married 2x since then, been divorced, and are contemplating marriage again.
6. What would probably be the best thing to tell YYS?
Avoid the first husband, go to school, get a life, learn who you are. It's so hard to to figure that out in your 30s.
7. What is something that you probably wouldn't tell YYS?
How much energy love and children take from you.
8. What do you think will most surprise YYS about you?
That I've become heavy and disabled.
9. What do you think will least surprise YYS?
That I'm still a very old child!
10. At this point in your life, would YYS like to run into "you" from the future?
I don't think that my old self would want my young self to run into me. I don't want them to know what the future holds. Let them live life with zest and vigor!
