What is a meme?

So, as mentioned before, I am new to blogging and was reading a friend's blog that had an "ABC meme." It looked like a fun writing exercise and so here is my version of it. I hope I am not going against blogger etiquette for using someone's meme but based on the article I found on wikipedia I think we are supposed to copy and continue them on. I got it from Newt's Muse
