Mememememe
My Interp. & Argument teacher kept using the word "meaning" in class the other day, and I kept mishearing it as "meme," because "meme" would've worked almost as well in context.
Of course, the chances that any other people in my Interp. & Argument class know the actual definition of "meme" are slim. Not non-existent! I can think of a couple people who might be computer/sociologically geeky enough to know. But not many.
Now I am struck by a desire to find every excuse I can to use "meme" in sentences. There's gotta be a dramaturgical application for it -- there's a dramaturgical application for practically anything, if you look hard enough.
Name a character that you know I write or have written, and I'll tell you:
a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
e. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

But also, I love Jennifer because she's so, so wounded, utterly shattered in a way even most emo characters aren't -- and yet she still gets rebuilt, and gets a happy ending.
b. Loyalty.
c. I . . . am not sure how to verbalize it? But I kind of want to smack her when she's shoving Kevin away. Even though I know why she is.
d. It was actually easier to play her during the numb stage, I think, than after she and Arthur got together. I'm not sure why, exactly.
e. The first tag of this thread. I love that whole thread, but I am so damn proud of that tag.
f. No plans to keep writing her, except possibly in a few fill-in-the-blanks fics that pop up. They're so very angsty, though, that I'm a little reluctant to revisit them.
