Unconscious Mutterings

Free association is described as a "psychonanalytic procedure in which a person is encouraged to give free rein to his or her thoughts and feelings, verbalizing whatever comes into the mind without monitoring its content." Over time, this technique is supposed to help bring forth repressed thoughts and feelings that the person can then work through to gain a better sense of self.

That's an admirable goal, but for the purposes of this excercise, we're just hoping to have a little fun with the technique. Each week I'll post ten words to which you can respond to with the first thing that comes to mind. "Rules are, there are no rules." There are no right or wrong answers. Don't limit yourself to one word responses; just say everything that pops into your head.

I say ... and you think ... ?

As usual, I'll go first. My answers are in comments.

Introducing The Twisted Meme Spot

meme n. A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.

Or more specific, I'll be running an Internet Meme.

In Blogspeak, a meme is an idea that is shared and passed from blog to blog, like a question or object of interest posted in one blog and answered in many other blogs or passed around.

So, I'll post something for you to do. You do it and leave your results. You can also steal it, but do please take copy one of my link codes, thanks!
