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 had memorized Tom Lehrer's entire ouvre by the time I was 8 years old -- phonetically. It wasn't until fully ten years later that I actually understood most of the jokes in The Vatican Rag...

How did your parents react when you did some of the more colorful songs (e.g. "Old Dope Peddler" or "My Home Town")?

One of my favorite records when I was smallish was the Man Of La Mancha broadway soundtrack. I played it over & over, and learned all the words... and my mother was just mortified the day she heard me at the school bus stop singing to myself, "I was born in a ditch by a mother who left me there, naked and cold and too hungry to cry..." She didn't say anything to me about it at the time, but she laughs about it now...

Actually, it's funny -- I don't remember singing most of that stuff when my parents were around, so I'm not sure they realized I was listening to those records. And the album I knew *really* well, and sang from most often, was TW3, which my relatively political mother probably would have approved of...
