Cynicism, Chain Letters & MeMe

March 7, 2006

My eyebrows are raised at the MeMe phenom hitting blogs. I don’t forward chain letters. I seldom fill out the surveys of personal data to send on to 15 of my favorite people (who if they really knew me wouldn’t need the survey anyway). But, I keep getting tagged, so I am having to rise above my cynicism and respond. Perhaps I am such a rebel that having to follow the rules and keep anything to 4 chafes! I may not comply.
