Stolen from tsgeisel, who stole it elsewhere

[madbaker]

I didn't even file the serial numbers off.

"I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she wears mismatched socks."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal."

For reference, what I wrote for tsgeisel was what most of you already know: that Sesame Street and I first aired on the same day. SS was 12 hours earlier, though.

OK, something that perhaps you didn't know about me -- I've already responded to two of these on my friend's list.

Yet another tidbit: before I wanted to be a veterinarian at the tender age of 5, I wanted to be an astronaut.

Bueller? Bueller? ...

I believe in symmetry -- to the point of self-annoyance.

If I, say, have to pass around an unusually intrusive obsticle (like a tree, or lamp post, or somesuch) in my path when I'm walking -- then the next time I pass it, I have to pass to the other side. I have to, in essense, 'unwind' the previous path so that everything balances out and is symmetrical.

It's gay; I know.

I also believe that Ben Stein -- of "Win Ben Stein's Money"- and "Ferris Beuller"-fame -- is the mysterious "Deep Throat" of the Watergate scandal. I can't prove it, of course, but it's highly suspicious that Ben Stein and Bob Woodward went to Jr High and High School together, lived across the street from each other while growing up, and remained very good friends while Woodward went to write for the Washington Post, and Stein was a member of Nixon's personal staff in the White House.

"CREEP stands for... anyone? anyone? Commitee to Re-Elect the President."

About me?
Black coffee not scented or perfumed, smokey scotch not mixed drinks, kith/kin not nodding friendships...these are a few of my favorite things? I adore fog and mist, cool and damp are the days that are mine. Perhaps I am a moss.
I recall being a corvid-person from way small days. Living with my father up in the Rockies, he would caw coming up the trail to our camp/home.

I can sleep anywhere. When I camp, I don’t need an air mattress, nor even a sleeping pad, I have no problem falling asleep on airplanes or busses, or even in cars. In fact, it seems like the only time I really have trouble falling asleep is home, in bed.

I love (most) animals, and really dislike (most) children.

P.S.: I like this meme, but it's really hampered my attempts to
catch up on my Friends list after 5+ days in Seattle...
