Me! memememe!

A day in the life over the years:

2003 - didn't start my journal until September.

2004 - Oh, was the day after Mom had her kidney removed.

2005 - I was setting up unsuccessful interviews, doing my monthly book report, and uploading cat pictures :)

2006 - Hmmm... no idea - I apparently went for a couple of weeks without posting :)

2007- Another hmmm... I had gotten back from a library convention and seeing yarrow_blue at the end of June. Otherwise no idea.

2008 - Took my niece out to get her birthday present :) Her birthday is tomorrow. We went to Barnes & Noble and she got around $45 worth of goodies  (books and a purple lap desk) and I got myself a book too :)

For Christmas, I get her and her sister gift cards to Michael's and Office Depot; for her birthday, B&N.

Oh, yeah - and I got to pet kittens :>  lovely little tabby babies. They were laying outside on the porch at niece's house, sunning themselves.

elismor's questions:
I am going to ask everyone this question, because I think it's awesome.

1. Pick five people from your flist [who we don't have mutually friended] and tell me a little bit about them.

I thought this would be really hard, since most of my flist are your friends too, but it wasn't! (Pause for brief cat adoration time) Okay, back!

sailorjim - I 'met' SJ on Usenet in alt.callahans, based on the Callahan's novels by Spider Robinson, a long long time ago :) He's... a weirdness magnet. Actually, if you read the top entry in his journal right now, it's an introduction he did for a writing contest. He's a storyteller - mostly humorous - I've spent many an hour trying not to pee my pants. One of his better known pieces is On Writing Penises.

naamah_darling - Naamah is extremely snarky, childfree, artistic, and can reduce me to sobbing or pee-in-the-pants laughing. Her profile is a good intro. She's also a cat lover (well, animals, period) and recently fostered some adorable little kittens and found them homes.  She's been metaquotes'd multiple times and this post  has 27 pages of comments :)

kobold - is Randy Millholland, who does the webcomic Something*Positive  plus about 3 others that update less regularly. S*P is wonderful - snarky, evil, hilarious, and touching. His journal is mostly comments about the comics and the store, but also, life, politics, and cons (the joys and stupidity of...).

ithildyn & ninjababe - yeah, I'm cheating :)  They're my friends, my family (along with aka_arduinna and yarrow_blue). We met online because of Forever Knight, then in real life on purpose. We're extreme opposites on some things and just alike on others. It's hard to remember a time I didn't know them - and I don't want to imagine a future without them :) Mushmushmush.

otterevilreads - and just why aren't you reading my book LJ, missy? Hmmmm.....? ::glares evilly, then laughs::



Here are the rest:

2. Would you ever move to The North?
I don't know. A lot would depend on where. I don't want 'real' snow like y'all get, but less heat in the summer would be nice. I can still see myself living near the shore, though. ithildyn  still tries to get me to move to Utah occasionally :)

3. Have you always been evil, or is it a lifestyle choice?
A bit of both, I think - being a fat kid, I learned to snark early and viciously. Then I realized I liked it when people cringed away and decided to develop it into full evilness. I kind of lost it after Mom died, but I've recently rediscovered my bitchy side and am very happy about it ;>

4. When was the last time you went swimming?
Sometime in May or early June. I've been neglecting it and need to get back. I've actually been neglecting it for a while, but I've taken the niece and either a friend or her sister a couple of times.

5. What is your favorite comfort food?
Soup, probably. Campbell's - either Chicken Noodle or Chicken and Rice. With lots of crackers and maybe a grilled cheese sammich.

Okay, first 5 people who request it will get questions.
