From whence self-worth?

kimcob asked in her livejournal:

Where does your sense of self worth come from? within? your job? your roles in life? the money you make? sexual knotches in your belt? your friends? accomplishments? how you change the world? video game scores? what?

I wanted to post my answer here, too, for posterity, and I'm also curious to hear from other folks on this, if it strikes your fancy.

( My thoughts back here... )

Welcome to California.

California still has kick ass farmer's markets, or, at the very least, Mountain View's is still good. Except, kcatalyst, trom and I decided that there's something about me that makes people think I really care about them and their problems, even if I've never met them before.

( A story irrelevant to being in CA: )

Anyway, California is still here, and it's a bit grey. I wouldn't mind seeing some sun, but at least the strawberries are delicious. Man, strawberries. Yum.
