Ok, so I know they're not memes (but calling them so is one), but I can't bring myself to call them games either (they don't fit my unwritten definition of what a game is).  If it was a quiz, I'd call it that, but it's not.  This one says to go to your browser and type in the each letter of the alphabet and copy the link that comes up.  I chose to start each one with www.

Ok, this is an old meme that been around since at least some time in 2002. jducoeur brought it to my attention several months ago when he posted a link back to his list from early 2003. Ever since then it's been rattling around in my brain collecting information and looking for a way out (making it the only "real" meme I've encountered so far, or at least the strongest).

Edit: It has been about ten years since I posted this. I was thinking about it the other day and decided to see what has changed. A few edits have been added in bold. 7/14/2014

So here we have ( 100 facts about me )

This one's been going around recently.  No clue why the list is numbered backwards; too lazy to change it.

Italics mean I've seen it at least once.
Bold means I've seen it a whole lot/watched it religiously/etc.

( The list )

Taken from kbuxton.

* bold those you've read
* italicize started-but-never-finished
* underline those you own but haven't gotten to yet
* add three of your own
* post to your livejournal

( The list... )

Ok, got this from msmemory and I was curious what my list would look like.

Make a list of all the paying jobs you've had.
  Circular Delivery (well, it wasn't a newspaper, it was a bunch of advertising circulars - what would you call it?)
  Lab Assistant (cleaning and repairing keyboards - tried to get a job at a book store or library, but I was too young)
  Voice Communications Assistant (database and networking stuff as well as telephone inventory)
  Programmer/Software Engineer/Consultant (many titles, all the same sort of work)

Yep - it's as short as I thought it would be.  I've been doing the same sort of work for the past 15 years.  Never took a retail or food related job, never babysat for money and never took a job I didn't think I'd have fun with.  Never quit a job either.  I had several that were short term (summer or co-op), and I had two companies go under while I was there, but I've never quit or been fired.  Overall I'd have to say I've been damn lucky.  The downside is a lack of breadth of experience.

I've seen this a few time, but finally gave in thanks to jducoeur.

Ok, I've seen this several place, then anglicub went and modified his to provide more info, so I thought I'd take it a step further...

( States )

I spotted the results of one of these over in anglicub's journal, so I thought I'd track one down and try it (not sure if it's what he used or if there are others out there).
