Meme and stuff

[mrissa]

I did this in greykev's journal, so I'm playing by the rules and doing it here:

respond to this in my journal and....
1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal.

Except that there are a lot more of you on my friendslist than on Kev's, so I will do as many of those things as seem appropriate, at least including 1 and 7, and I exempt you from 8 if you do participate.

My plans for the evening include finishing writing another chapter of Zodiac House (edited to add: done!), finishing reading matociquala's book (Carnival, and don't you just love that I have to specify which one, Bear? I would think that would be a neat feeling), working out, scruffing the doglet's head, and finding something else to eat. I am really not all that good at feeding just myself when I try to do it in pieces. It's better for me to eat in pieces -- better for the hypoglycemia -- but that's only true if I don't suck at it. Which I do. I end up whining at my body, "Oh, come onnnnn, I gave you a salad two hours ago, what more do you want?" The second avocado had gone south. I had planned on eating that avocado. Now I have to think of something else. Wailie woe. This is the drawback to feeling antisocial when markgritter is out of town and timprov's sleeping during the evenings: when I make dinner plans with friends, not only do I get to see them, but there is a firm notion of Food To Eat. Also I haven't got any food projects for just me this week because I have food projects for other people. So. Um. I think this is why I keep banana muffins in the freezer. Not that you cared, now that I've typed all this.

In other news, I apparently have a new title, "The Knee-Capping Princess of the North." As a title rather than a secret identity, I do not believe this supplants any of my superhero names.

That is all. You may return to your homes.

Me, please, for whatever items you wouldn't mind doing. And I will repost it myself.

1. I like the way you take risks: sensibly. But there are still risks there. But you do it sensibly. See? Good stuff.

2. Dar Williams's "Traveling Again," even though some of it is not particularly lyrically appropriate, because of the tune/rhythm

3. Oh, let's hang out at your place! :) Maybe eat some of those little apple pastry things my parents talked about but markgritter's relatives never saw fit to mention.

7. What do you miss about living in Arizona? (This always thing: it is overrated.)

2. Ah. I had to check on iTunes to see which song that was (I have the CD, just didn't know titles) and yes, some days my life does feel a lot like that rhythm.

3. Sure, come on by. (At least, whenever we don't have other visitors - they're stacking up this spring!) I don't know if your parents told you but there are all kinds of apple pastries here: appelflappen(turnovers), appelbollen (spherical, can contain either chunks or a whole baked apple - very messy to eat in the latter case), appel koekjes (large filled cookie), appeltaart (pie, and extremely tasty).

7. Yeah, always is a bit hard, especially with people you haven't always known! My boat. All the space in my house, and all my books. Having my own car. Being able to row year 'round sometimes, and sometimes I'm glad to have an off season (we can row, since it's so unseasonably warm, but only on weekends because it's only permitted in daylight hours). Being able to take home doggie bags, and being able to go out for a meal and not having it take 2 hours. No language barriers for things like telephone banking or websites.
