In The Spotlight - A Meme

A post I read by S. Camille Crawford on her Now blog sparked an idea for a meme. So I went ahead and created a meme, where every Blogger can be "In The Spotlight."

The deeper I get into the blogging world the more it seems like one big popularity contest. I wanted to create a meme for every blogger, and the twist to this meme is that you don't have to be tagged to participate. If you're new to blogging and don't know what a meme is you can find out here.

Here's the rules:

1) Let everyone know who tagged you and the name of the meme, which is "In The Spotlight."

2) Provide a link back to the Interview Questions List and the Rules - (This blog post).

3) Don't cut and paste the Rules and the Interview Questions because when Google detects duplicate posts it lowers your page rank, and my page rank too. So if you feel that you must write the rules or questions on your blog then mix it up and rewrite it (don't cut and paste please).

4) Choose whichever of the "Interview Questions" that you'd like to answer, and list your answers on your blog. Answer a few or answer them all, whichever you prefer. Be funny, be serious, be anything you want, and most of all be yourself.

5) Tag five people that you think would like to participate in this meme.

6) If you are not tagged by anyone and would like to participate in this meme, then I officially tag you now. (Your Tagged By Christy of Christy's Coffee Break)!

Everyone is welcome to participate!

I hope everyone has fun creating their own interview and being "In The Spotlight."


Here are the Interview Questions to choose from:


What makes your blog unique?

When did you start blogging?

Is this your first meme?

What do you hope to accomplish with your blog?

What are your feelings on the "blog popularity" issue?

What's your favorite childhood memory?

If you were stranded on a deserted island what three things would you want to have with you?

Are you a spiritual person?

Do your moral values affect the way that you blog, and if yes, how?

What is the weirdest thing that ever happened to you?

What is your best quality?

What is your worst quality?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay so here's my Interview:


When did you start blogging?

I started blogging about four months ago.

What is your best quality?

I'm friendly.

What is your worst quality?

I'm moody.

What's your favorite childhood memory?

Writing a play in Grade eight and performing it with all of my friends.

Are you a spiritual person?

Yes, very much so.

What is the weirdest thing that ever happened to you?

I won 25,000 dollars on an instant scratch lottery ticket when I was fourteen years old and brought it into the corner store to cash it. (LOL) Of course the store owner stole it. (I wasn't the brightest kid).

Thanks Christy. Interesting idea. I'll definitely participate!

Wow, what a drag that you got your trust betrayed at such a young age by that store owner with your lottery ticket.

Camille

Christy said...

Thanks you!

Well, my mom almost killed me for not bringing the lottery ticked to her! ROFL. Could you imagine what a fourteen year old would do with that money? It just wasn't meant to be.

Mike said...

Holy cow that's a lot of tags :P I don't even know who I could tag this time. No one ever posts about the stuff I tag them for ;P

I'll get on it soon. I'm working on some music, so I'm taking a little me time away from the blog ;P

Christy said...

Hi Mike,

I know, I think this could be the worlds longest blog post.

Thank you, and have a fun break. :)

One Wacky Mom said...

Christy,
This is a great meme. I really like it and I'm glad I got tagged in by my buddy Life With Heathens. But my foot is bleeding and I'm cutting off my head.

You'll only get it if you read my post at Murphy's Law. But I really do like this meme. Sorry, I'm still recovering from my freaking idiot self.

Christy said...

No problem Wacky mom, thanks for coming by to comment. I really have to go read that post because it sounds very interesting!
Hope you have a good day, :)

Loon said...

Its Ev Nucci, aka Wacky Mom, I finally got to this meme, so you can check it out when you have a chance. I like the variety of questions...nice job Christy. And oh, by the way, I linked into you on Murphy's Law. I hope you'll reciprocate. We're already linked together on Resource Economics. Great job.

Christy said...

Hi Marjie,

Hi Ev,

Thank you, I will be sure to check out your meme answers.
I added you a while back, you are under the Cool Mom and Dad Blogs category. :) Take Care!

Samatakah said...

Thanks Christy, for being so inclusive.

I don't know how to tag and I don't know much about "blog popularity" but I've thought it would be fun to answer someone else's questions (about whatever). I hoped I linked correctly.

Again, thanks for including everyone.

Christy said...

Hi samatakah,

Your very welcome, you don't have to know how to tag, and your lucky to not know much about blog popularity, it's not a very pretty subject at times...lol. I will come check out your answers. Thank you for participating. I appreciate it and I hope you had fun!
