And- (I had to do research on this) a meme (pronouced as "beam") is something very serious that is supposed to be the cultural version of a gene: some chunk of culture that self-replicates across generations. On the intenet, the rapidly spreading mailchains and such like are called memes. And in the very narrow niche of bloggers, a meme is any sort of writing exercise that you submit yourself to and pass on to others.

I definitely want the garden with the handful of friends. I want to be happy, too.
