A meme . . . .

What is a meme? A meme is an idea that behaves on the internet like a virus does in a body. They start with one person, are retold time and again, and end up travelling around the world. They infect, they reproduce, they mutate, and they spread.

Normally, I wouldn't do a meme on my blog. A meme seems like "Look at me! Look at me! I do this! and this! and this!" And a blog already seems like a lot of that, so I didn't feel the need to go over the top. Then, I saw this meme on Loves to Bike and Knit, and had to do it. So here goes:

Bold for stuff I've done, italics for stuff I plan to do eventually, and normal for stuff I don't intend to do. Let me know if you do the meme, so I can read it!
