More Randomness

Am I the only one on LJ that doesn't like memes?  I feel like I'm surrounded by them.   Scary!  I refuse to do one as a protest!

That's all I had to say really.

I only like some of them... I do them rarely.

Nah, you're not the only one. :) Great LJ drama occurs frequently involving memes; people who un-friend, or refuse to friend back, when there's too many mames in a particular journal. *g*

I have a very meme-happy flist and for a while, some time ago, after beeing especially flooded during one week, I had to seriously think about if I wanted to keep some people on my flist. There were tons and tons of memes, not under LJ-cuts, in single posts for every one and sometimes posted just minutes apart... But then I found a code for my layout that hides them under a cut and I went with that instead. :p It's worked okay so far.

I do them sometimes (most I can't do since I have the coding in place), I like the pointless waste of time every now and then (though I do think there's way too many useless "what kind of slut am I?" quizzes around), but I usually try to put them behind a cut and also stick them together with something else - not just the single meme in a post.

people actually unfriend people for having too many memes? Geez LJ cuts are nice

[carelessmemory]

Yes, and frequently even. :) I can understand it somewhat, if it's new-ish friends that you've not yet gotten the chance to make a connection to, if they suddenly start posting them every two minutes all through the day. ^^ I like LJ cuts too, I try to be considerate and use them whenever I feel they're necessary.

Most of them I don't like. I do a few though..

I do them if I get bored, but I can understand you being irritated when they take up most of your front page.

To each his/her own.

I find them entertaining.
