No reason to always take my blog so seriously

I was just tagged by Ms. Moonbeam McQueen for a meme. As requested, I will write seven things about myself and post the following rules:

1) Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.
2) Share 7 facts about yourself.
3) Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
4) Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Here goes...

1. I love toe rings and anklets more than any other jewelry. My favorite anklets have tiny bells.
2. I spend many nights a week -- especially Friday and Saturday -- in the gym so that the long hours that a personal life frequently fills don't make me sad. I wear my marathon gear to the gym to make it look like I'm a serious athlete, not a dateless loner. How my hot pink cap with "Marathon Girl" spelled in cheap rhinestones makes me look like a serious athlete is really none of my concern. It goes well with my San Diego Rock -n- Roll Marathon ankle socks.
3. I have salt-and-pepper nose hairs. What bothers me the most is that I'm aware I have salt-and-pepper nose hairs.
4. My current favorite meal is a can of albacore tuna, heated with about a teaspoon of butter and tossed with angel hair pasta, capers and Chinese hot pepper sauce. I eat it about three times a week.
5. The people I love most in the world live more than a thousand miles away.
6. My math scores were much higher than my verbal scores on both the SAT and the GRE. And now I'm a writer.
7. In my head I wrote and rewrote and rewrote this meme list at least 46 times since I was tagged yesterday.

Ok... now for the tagging....

So I have absolutely no idea what any of this means...
"meme"???
tagged? In my circles, tagging is bad - you can get suspended!

(Sarah is one of my dear loved ones who lives far away. She's a teacher who works with teenagers, thus the "tagged" comment.)

According to Wikipedia, A meme (pronounced [miːm] in IPA), as defined within memetic theory, comprises a theoretical unit of cultural information, the building block of cultural evolution or diffusion that propagates from one mind to another analogously to the way in which a gene propagates from one organism to another as a unit of genetic information and of biological evolution.[1] Multiple memes may propagate as cooperative groups called memeplexes (meme complexes).

Whatever. It's a group of questions that bloggers forward to propagate more posts.

I LOVE this meme thing! Some of these were so funny! I have the same problem with my eyebrows that you do with your nose hairs. Your tuna recipe sounds delicious, and I wish I had your gym discipline. Maybe I need a rhinestone cap. And I'm sorry your loved ones are so far away-- that sucks.

I broke the rules, and tagged you back, because I have to pee really bad, and I didn't know who to tag. So you don't have to do it again, just let me slide this once :) Love the blog girl, Tiff
