Got regrets?

A groovy thing about blogging is that it keeps me in touch with What The Kids Are Doing These Days, a.k.a. popular culture, of the geek persuasion in particular.

Seriously, you don’t know how easy it is to live in another time zone until you cancel your cable, stop reading the newspaper, and start spending inordinate amounts of time contemplating your navel. Then alla sudden, you look up and there’s this all this shit going on that did not exist in your world in 1995. Like the blogosphere. And it has its own geek speak, too, like RSS feed and social bookmarking and traffic and meme. (Thank god for Urban Dictionary is all I can say.)

Which brings us to today’s post topic. Meme: 4 : in blogspeak, an idea that is spread from blog to blog.

Found a fun weekly meme over at Tina’s Tuesdays and this is my first contribution.

Regrets

1. What is one thing you regret you never did? Remember to shut the garage door that one time I came home at 2 am, because some crack-head stole our $500 saw that night. Now I am totally paranoid and have to check the garage door forty times before I can go to bed, which means if I want to be asleep by 10 pm, I have to start at 8.
2. What do you regret not saying to a loved one? “I love you dearly, but if you can’t say something supportive when I share my innermost dreams with you, you can fuck directly off. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.”
3. Do you have more regrets now than you did 5 years ago? Yes, because I am five years older (which, by the way, is NOT one of the things I regret) and the only way I would not have more regrets is if I were perfect. On the upside, I no longer regret having regrets - they are an unavoidable side effect of living life to the fullest and I’ll never go back to living in fear.

There! That was fun. Thanks Tina! Check out her site for more contributions to the meme pool.
