Can't resist a meme, sometimes.
The rules: Don't take too long to think about it. 15 games you've played that will always stick with you. List the first 15 you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag fifteen friends, including me, because I'm interested in seeing what games my friends choose. (To do this, go to your Notes tab on your profile page, paste rules in a new note, cast your 15 picks, and tag people in the note -- upper right hand side.)
1. Super Mario Bros. 2
2. Doom II
3. Sonic the Hedgehog
4. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
5. Gemfire
6. Shining Force
7. Okami
8. World of Warcraft
9. Spyro the Dragon
10. Final Fantasy 7
11. Silent Hill
12. Warioware (the gamecube one)
13. MarioKart: Double Dash
14. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
15. Halo
You'll notice I didn't tag anyone. That's how I roll.

Decade Photos
Here's a meme I just made up. Post a photo of yourself from each year of the past decade, with accompanying blurb. You only get to pick ONE for each year!
2000
I'm actually only 99% certain this is from 2000. As I recall, it was my last volunteer trip on my last summer as a volunteer for the Louisville Science Center, to the magical realm of COSI. If it's actually from 99, then some LSC person correct me. Either way, my brain says it's 2000, and what a magical unicycle ride on a tight rope it was!
2001
In February, I dressed up in a cupid-like fashion, ran around and shot people with my nerf crossbow, and then showered them in "hugs and kisses" (of the Hershey's variety).
2002
That's me in the booth! I was running the light board for A Day in the Death of Joe Egg at Centre. A fabulous performance, if I do recall. Lookit how long my hair is!
2003
This is me at the Berkshire Theatre Festival, whacking a machete against a rock. Ah, the tasks one does in props!
2004
While scavenging the Long Island Sound, I found this horseshoe crab! A good portion of 2004 was spent living in Connecticut.
2005
This was the year I went to Japan. Here I am eating my first meal in the country with Andrew.
2006
This is my favorite photo ever of me with my cousins. Hooray for family!
2007
The year of the ETC! Here we are as bright and ambitious young first-years, at the Chihuly exhibit at the Phipp's.
2008
OMG you guys remember when it snowed a bunch and we made that gigantic snow monster? TEAMWORK! No one was crushed by the giant snowball we pushed up onto the other giant snowball by using a ramp made of snow.
2009
Ah, graduation. Don't I look all Dr. Professional?
2010
One of the first photos of the New Year! Me with Tracy Brown (no relation) at the New Year's Eve feast.

Back in Kentucky
Ah, to be back in Kentucky once more, it feels wonderful!
Shortly, Scott and I will be off to do some adventuring, which may or may not include going down to the river to take photos. Either that, or scouring the Goodwills for picture frames. Or maybe just lunch. Who can say!
Anyway, my goal this break is to do more soaking in of Louisville locations. Last visit's trip to Cavehill Cemetary was wonderful, and I want more of that.
In unrelated news, I've been playing around with formspring. It seems like it has potential to be a fun little application, especially since I often enjoy memes but am usually reluctant to post them in my journal. Anyway, check me out.

Font Fun
That's from tooling around on http://www.yourfonts.com. A fun idea, but probably not practical for chicken-scratchers like myself.

25 Random Things
I don't like to tag other people to do these memes, but when tagged I feel compelled to complete them...
1) I used to do synchronized swimming when I was young. It gave me super strength. We had to put knox gelatin in our hair and smile brightly during our routines, even though we were in terrible pain for most of it (or at least, I was).
2) When I drink soda, I have to swish it around in my mouth before swallowing.
3) My first crush was on Egon from the animated Ghostbusters. It was less of a "I want to marry you" crush and more of a "I want to be you" crush.
4) When I was little, I always wanted to play Little Red Riding Hood, and I was always the wolf
5) I kissed a boy for the first time in my life when I was 21 years old
6) I'm TERRIBLE at practical math. Horrible. Calculus? No problem. Subtraction? SO HARD.
7) When I was in the second grade I wanted to be a fighter jet pilot. I think I believed that they just got to fly the jets around all day for fun.
8) I'm pretty sure I'm the happiest when I'm in the water.
9) As a child, I tended to step on rusty nails by accident during summer vacation. I stepped on nails so frequently that I assumed that it was just part of life: that every year I'd step on a rusty nail, as sure as Christmas or my birthday.
10) I went through a phase when I was young where I was obsessed with symmetry. If I took a step and put so much pressure on one foot, I would HAVE to match the exact pressure on the other. If I accidentally touched my face, I'd have to touch the other side of my face in the same spot. I thought it was going to drive me mad before I grew out of it.
11) If I'm at the ATM and there's a line behind me and I have multiple transactions to make, I will make one and then get back in line for the other. Similarly, if I'm paying at the grocery and there's a line behind me, I get too stressed out from the prospect of getting out exact change, for fear I will slow down the people behind me.
12) I used to think that the Kentucky Derby was a holiday that *everyone* celebrated, like Christmas.
13) Pianos give me anxiety attacks (not hearing them, but sitting at one, or the thought of having to play it)
14) I am a tactile/kinesthetic learner and communicate with the world best via touch and movement.
15) I have a second degree black belt in Kempo
16) Sometimes I know the future, it's an AWFUL talent.
17) I hate The Vagina Monologues. I HATE THEM!
18) The music of a cello makes me cry, or feel like crying. It's like an on/off switch.
19) The first video game I ever beat by myself was Super Mario Bros. 2 on the NES
20) When you get dinner rolls from the store that have the vertical slice in them for easy cutting, I always ignore it and slice the roll horizontally (more surface area for butter)
21) I like vinegar and I like cucumbers, but I do not like pickles.
22) My favorite poem is "Out, Out" by Robert Frost
23) I tend to wave my arm in front of automatic doors, as if I am opening them with the Force. I do this mostly without thinking anymore.
24) I inherited my two favorite kinds of cake from my parents: yellow cake with chocolate icing from my mom, and spice cake with vanilla icing from my dad
25) I can't make the number three with my fingers. Like, putting your thumb on your pinky and holding the rest up? I can't do it, and forcing my hand into that position has always been painful. I dreaded the number 3 while learning to count because of this agony!
