The first one I missed was people posting odd colours...which turned out to be bra colours. This was somehow meant to be linked to breast cancer awareness. I’m not sure if I missed it because I don’t go on facebook enough, am generally unobservant or just simply expect people to post odd crud in that ‘message of the day’ section. But I completely failed to take part...and strangely I don’t really care.
Next they tried to repeat the above (which was I vaguely remember reported a lot on the news at the time...) by getting you to write about ‘where you like it’ nudge nudge wink wink...although what we’re really talking about is your handbag... This one I did know about if only because my little sis (or more accurately my middle sister who being younger than me I can call my little sis...who has incidentally just got engaged!!) sent me a message with all the details...but I don’t actually have a handbag...or if I do then it’s probably buried at the bottom of a cupboard somewhere...so I didn’t take part in that one either. That I’m not overly worried about either. I’m not sure I noticed anyone else getting involved either...
The one I am annoyed about is the most recent one (at least the most recent one I actually spotted) where people changed their profile pics to show their fav cartoon characters! Now that I would have liked to do. What better excuse for a fun nostalgic google search for cartoon oddities? I admit that I probably could still join in now, but I feel it may be a little late for all that.
The idea was to have a break from pictures of real people in the hopes of somehow raising awareness against child abuse...so I guess I’m already ahead of the game on that one. See I haven’t had a real picture of me as my profile pic for...ages. I hate having my pictures taken (although me and Miss Millie’s witchy photo shoot was hilarious fun!) but generally my facebook pictures tend towards odd animals instead. At the moment in fact it’s a bunny sat at a computer...
Which reminds me, look up and right, yep there’s another bunny. I’m not entirely sure why. It’s not like I have a thing for bunnies or anything. In fact blog bunny is actually a plot bunny (anyone who writes fanfic will know what that is) ’Plot bunnies lurk in the strangest places’ including apparently tea cups and my profile pictures... Maybe I should have a change... I mean I've picked up some odd icons over the years...
Why do I like that first icon so much? :-)
ReplyDeleteI suspect the reason you miss out on all those Facebook memes is that ... you have a life! And, incidentally, which cartoon character would you have chosen if you'd noticed in time?
I've been thinking about that... I have decided that if I could find a picture of him it would have to be the fox cub Bold from animals of Farthing Wood; my fav ever cartoon (loved the books too) and my fav character. And in the fine tradition of my fav characters...
ReplyDeletehe died...
poor thing.
