It's the "25 Things" meme that's taken Facebook by storm! I feel that I must share them with you as well because you know me better. Or do you even know me at all?

I imagine #25 involving a "you will meet an annoying woman. Give her coffee and she will leave you alone" type story (I've horribly misquoted that, I think). Anyway, the love of your life is involved somehow. : )

I was thinking something to do with a very large crossword puzzle.

i concur...now all you have to do is go back through all the new york times sunday crosswords looking for a 120 down that matches...

There's a thing on the TIME website about it.

Which I only saw because of a link on facebook.

What the fuck? We were talking at dinner about the fact that it appears to be the first successful Facebook meme, but...it's worthy of TIME? Really?

Time was ripping on it, with the writer making a list of 25 things she wishes her friends didn't tell her...except it wasn't all her friends, it included friends of, nodding acquaintances, total strangers, etc. She also calculated how much work time was wasted in compiling this stuff, coming across as a complete fuddy duddy...

#24 - Me too! The Seattle Public Library card I still have occasion to use now and then, but the expired card for the fancy reading room in Prague, not so much. (Sadly, I lost my New York Public Library card with my wallet a couple years back.)

If we ever start a bar or a cafe or something, we should call it "The Salutatorian".
