Good morning! I feel like being social on the internet this morning, SO:

Comment below, and I will respond with a word I associate with you, and an accompanying image from the first three pages of a google image search for that word.

[Take a picture of yourself right now. Don't fix your hair... just take a picture. Post that picture with no editing. Post these instructions with your picture.]

Pic peek here.

Changing this one up a bit:

I love making and doing awesome little things for people, so I jumped on this meme. The original goes like this:

I will send something small but awesome to the first three people who reply to this entry asking for it. You'll receive it within the next year. Said people (and any of the rest of you who feel so inspired) should post the same offer to your journals, thereby spreading the awesome around.

But I'm going to do it differently, because not everyone reads lj constantly throughout the day: I will guarantee that I will make or do something small but awesome for at least 5 people to respond to this who have delivered or will deliver more awesome into the world. My fantasy goal is to make or do something awesome for all respondents, but even I am not crazy enough to promise that. [EDIT: Actually, I am. Everyone who responds wanting something awesome will get it.] You'll get what's coming to you within a year!

Doing the interests meme thingy! Let me know if you'd like me to ask you to expand on some of your interests. Also, because the content sometimes gets lost in these memes, please feel free to comment on what I write, too, whether or not you want me to ask you about your interests.

dilletante asked me about ( alternatives to marriage, developing sense of place, edges, nothing, and proyecto lingüistico quetzalteco: )

Now this is my kind of meme! Borrowed from jordanwillow:

You know about pet peeves. Well, what about the opposite -- little things that make you really happy? Post 10 little happy things not in any particular order. Anyone reading this is invited to post their own!

1. The cat purring in anticipation before even being petted.
2. Green sunlight filtering through new leaves.
3. Stopping to smell flowers (and there being flowers to smell!) while walking around town.
4. Tasty wine and conversation.
5. Kids on the bike path staring in fascination at the red in my hair.
6. Compliments from random strangers out in the world.
7. Talking to someone with a really different perspective from mine who manages convey it enough for me to understand through their eyes, if only briefly.
8. My Diva Cup
9. Our back porch.
10. People.

Post a comment if you want me to tell you a thing or two that I like about your journal! Steal this idea and run with it if you like!

I'm a little surprised at the extraversion score, but otherwise, yeah, that's about right.

Okay, okay, I'm jumping on the "ask me a question" bandwagon! Is there something you've been wanting to ask me, or wondering about, or the like? Feel free to ask! Comments are, and will remain, screened. When I answer questions in future posts, I'll share the question (unless you'd rather I answer you privately, in which case, you should specify that and be sure I have your email address) but not the name of who asked it. Anonymous commenting is, as usual, on.

Want me to tell you one or more of the things I like about you? Comment here. Your comments will be screened, but my responses will be open for all to see.
