tell me.... (meme)

[cellio]

This one is going around my friends' list and looks like fun.

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 likes spinach."

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.

I have been the maid of honor at three weddings.

I own a stethescope and a sphygmomanometer.

When I was about 12, I created my own alphabet, including characters for common letter combinations (like "th" or "ea") and common words. I think at last count it had over a hundred characters. I still use it--the "word" characters are good for shorthand when I'm taking notes, and it's great for really boring meetings because I can write out a shopping list or a really snarky comment even about the guy sitting next to me, and it's still completely private even in plain sight.

I like spinach (especially raw, in salad), and opera.

Oh, so I'm not the only person that does this... cool. I still use the character set I made up when I was a kid for writing down stuff I don't want read over my shoulder... never developed a shorthand per se though.
