Some meme spamming - lj cuts for length.

I took this Classic IQ Test, from alicambs and interestingly, it decided I was a Facts Curator, and went on to say:

Whether or not you intend to absorb every piece of information that comes your way, your mind has certain steel-trap qualities to it. You are a knowledge sponge. You have almost enough words in your head to fill a dictionary, and you're equally adept when it comes to manipulating numbers. You can also detect important patterns in number sequences, and probably remember the mnemonic devices you were taught in your early school years.

The thing is, that's pretty accurate. I even remember the mnemonic some people in my class at age 12 (ish) came up with to remember the order of the planets (admittedly, I can only remember it by first remembering the order of the planets, but then that's because I never needed anything to help me remember them): Mark Versus Emma. Mark Jumps Sexily, Undoing New Pyjamas. And yes, an Emma in the class was going out with someone called Mark at the time.

Then there was one from undonne and edrys, which was to string together the first sentence from the first post of every month in your blog for 2004:

I actually managed to write a drabble for LOTR100: Be Careful What You Wish For. I managed to get first time lucky on this one: [Your Own LOTR Sequel Meme]. I really don't understand women. I almost can't believe it's been so long since I posted in here - but then it's been practically the same length of time since I did anything except work, sleep and watch videos. Happy Birthday, undonne! My dad said the fatal words today: I'm doing an amazon order, do you want anything. We were on centre court yesterday and we did see both of the women's semi-finals. I feel much more relaxed after my holiday now. Quite a few times at work when checking questionnaires I've come across something like this: Thinking about the crisps you eat. How often do you buy each of the following brands? There were all these [things] I was going to do this week but then I got ill. Last weekend I spent in a windmill in Somerset. I had a bit of a revelation today.

Which probably sums 2004 up quite well.
