Snowflake Challenge #12

Now this challenge is a blast from the past!

Remember the early oughts? Remember Web 1.0? And Geocities and blinkies? What about Flash games? It was only last month that Adobe Flash finally died its ignoble death.

In the spirit of those times, let resurrect some old LJ memes! (Think Buzzfeed quizzes but with less data mining (not to say that didn't happen)).

When I looked at my tags page, there were 159 entries tagged ‘meme’ which I guess is because memes were what I used to say when I didn’t know what to say. In the early oughts, I wasn’t new to the internet, but I was new to the interactive version of it presented by LJ and its clones. In order to seem interesting, I did a *lot* of memes.

As I explored back in my journal, I found a lot of memes that are now defunct, but I wish were still functioning. Like the Friends Icons collage, which seemed to be a bit of code that gathered all your friends’ default icons into one picture. And Quizilla seems to be a Teen Nick site now. Other links looked extremely sketchy.


In your own space, resurrect an old meme. Have fun with it! Which is the goofiest meme you can think of? Put on your party hat and be silly!!

I'll be doing the "Which Historical Lunatic Are You?" quiz, found here. I never did this one back in the day. I was mostly on Quizilla, but that is probably a desolate wasteland by now.

I am...

...Hm. I really wanted Diogenes. If I wasn't me, I would want to be him. ...And if he wasn't Diogenes, he would want to be him too. ;)






And, hey, what the heck - I'll do the "I Write Like..." thingy too. Double effort. I used my "Finished Jane Eyre & Thoughts" post because it's a good length, and I was really proud of the analysis I did of the book.

I write like
Daniel Defoe

Huh, I wasn't expecting that. Defoe was most famously the author of Robinson Crusoe. Interesting.
