there's the meme : If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want, good or bad (but I'd rather the good). When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.
I like memes. I just don't like being made to feel obligated to participate because otherwise it'd mean I don't read what my friends post about.
Yes, when I'm forced to produce a memory of somebody because my eyes are passing over the thing, my memory will probably be "that time I made the mistake of reading something that turned out to be a demand for a memory and I told myself to be careful about reading this lj in future..."
I'm sorry :( I don't mean to bash you *hugs* I just don't like the formulation of this meme, but I know you didn't write it yourself (nor did any of the other people on my flist who did it) Besides, feel very very free to discount my opinion ;) that's just me ranting.
