silversolitaireI must admit I don't understand memes. At all. I don't mean to put anyone down who's already posted one and I'm sure they all were lovely and the coolest meme ever, but seriously, what's the point? Being the self-loathing twat that I am I wouldn't ever imagine to be on any meme, so even if I was it'd just bounce off me. Most of the time it depresses me, because I generally feel excluded of everything. That's just how I am. So, I wonder if others perhaps feel the same way. So, what's the point then? I don't get it.
I've been collected one of those "100 random facts about me" for months, literally. Almost a year, actually. I started writing it last January and kept adding to it. And I swear, every time I thought about posting it a suddenl wave of memes and 100-facts posts suddenly flooded LJ. And being the individualistic person that I am I always put away mine again. I'd like to be original. I don't like to be one of the crowd. Similarily, I've written a nice post about some people around me already last summer. I wrote a nice paragraph about what I think of them. But I never posted it, because I stopped caring about some, and for some I didn't write very nice things, but I couldn't write anything else. Should I ever post it, I'd post it with names. If I ever have to tell someone something negative, I'll tell it openly. That's why I'll probably never post it, since there's no point in humiliating someone publicly, but I don't hide in anonymity either. So there. Guess there's the answer.
*sighs* Sometimes I wish I was a better person. I shouldn't always feel so bitter about everything. About people, specifically. Note, this still isn't connected to the meme thing. It just kinda came back to my memory right now...

Date: 2002-12-13 11:25 am (UTC)I'd just like to point out one thing: It seems to me that participating in memes isn't going to turn an otherwise unique person into a mindless clone. No one's going to think "Oh, she's just like everyone else" because of it. Or at least, they shouldn't.
I know what you mean about not wanting to be one of the crowd. But isn't it self-defeating if you avoid doing something you want to do just to not be seen that way?
