7 things meme, part 1
The rules: "Comment to this post and I will list seven things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself."
My list from dromeda:
-Children's TV
-Either very high places or very low ones
-the "throwing words at something until they stick" method of communication
-Marsupials
-Excess
-Social propriety
-Mindfucks
Children's TV
I don't really have much to say here; I have so little interaction with children that I don't know much about what TV exists for them these days. I'm a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but I only found out about it from the internet. I only really was able to get into it because the Bronies made it so widely available on YouTube. I have computer screens available way more than I have a TV available.
When I was the age to watch children's TV, I watched a few of the "standards." Animaniacs, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Muppet Babies top the immediate memories. I also figure I have this Voltron knowledge from watching the show, even if I don't remember it much. Popular shows that I have seen very little of include Gargoyles and Batman: The Animated Series, and I've never seen a single episode of Spongebob Squarepants.
The only time I ever saw any Teletubbies was in a hospital coming out from under anesthesia after surgery to reset a broken leg and nose from a car accident. Let me reiterate: Teletubbies while coming out from anesthesia. To date the freakiest thing I have ever experienced, what with the baby sun and the weird language and strange imagery.
This meme will be continued in future posts. :)
