(no subject)

I'm censoring myself. I was going to make another grumbling entry. I may be in that time of year (more storms = more aches, for instance) but most of you are in holiday season and deserve your happiness. I need something cool to replace the whinges. I've therefore decided that it's memetime. I'm snurching eneit's version of it because she needs to fully understand the balefulness of her influence.

"I know very little about some of the people on who read my journal. Some people I know relatively well. (Some I know too well. You know who you are.) I read your journals, 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. Or perhaps we know each other in one area of life, but I know nothing about you otherwise But you read me and I thank you for your interest in my words.

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...they listen in rapture to the love-music of she-turnips." I might feel compelled to mock your musical taste, but I'll certainly remember you.

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. If you would like, post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear.

I'll start."

One December I went round singing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."

Everyone at work kept reminding me "You're Jewish."

I smiled at them.

"Oh, what happened to your front teeth?"

"They're on order."
