8. Why do you love these me-mes? (I added this one.)

• They make you think of where you have been and where you are now.


• They are rather egocentric and self-indulgent.


• They are relaxing.


• They let the world know who you are and where you are coming from (assuming anyone reads them).


• They warn off people who might be scared of who you are and where you are coming from.
