PS, I met the girl who played Stacey at a Veruca Salt concert once. She was really embarrassed, covering her face, and her friends laughed at her when my friend Kim recognized her.

Why are these stupid things people post on MySpace being referred to as memes? It's such an oddly sciencey word for posting a bulletin that says "NAME THE FIRST 7 PEOPLE YOU HAD A CRUSH ON AND THEN GOOGLE THEIR NAMES TOGETHER AND THEN POST THE FIRST 12 BAND NAMES IT MAKES U THINK OF AND THE NAME OF YOUR FIRST-GRADE TEACHER AND IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT YEAR YOU'RE GONNA DIE TOMORROW WHEN U SEE THE SUN RISE."
From dictionary.com, a meme is "Richard Dawkins's term for an idea considered as a replicator, especially with the connotation that memes parasitise people into propagating them much as viruses do. Memes can be considered the unit of cultural evolution. Ideas can evolve in a way analogous to biological evolution."
