I nabbed this from jenavira and I would appreciate it if you all would respond. For we are all Friends, here. You can even tell me something I already know.

To wit:

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.

ETA: my mood, because elke_tanzer asked so nicely, is now appropriately quixotic.

Hi, I'm Alicia K, and music is my passion! I sing a lot and used to play the piano really well, but I'm horribly out of practice.

*grin* I like spinach.

I am cofax. I believe in buying footwear as seldom as possible, and therefore it's okay to spend over $100 for a new pair of boots, right? Right?

I like spinach, by the way, and believe it is unjustly maligned. As is broccoli. Both of them are marvelous with cheese. Mmmm, cheese.

Machetes are also wonderful. Don't you agree?

There's one place my husband and I visit that has an old-fashioned ice-cream parlour, and I always have a rum'n'raisin cone, even in the winter, because it's a ritual, y'see.

I like cheesy music and non-romance-related reality shows. And bisque-y soup.

[runpunkrun]

I just had a sandwich.

Cheater! No re-spinaching. You owe me a new one. *g*

Me.

I play flute. I hate beets. When I was not-quite-eight, I fell out of a tree and broke my arm. I'm a TKE little sister. I was in Bush I's inaugural parade.

I have crushes on both Susan Feniger and Mary-Sue Milliken, does that count? Susan's more my type, but I think Mary-Sue's got her head screwed on a little better, no?

But Susan wears those rings so well...

my middle name is Helena. i can count to ten in maori and sing all the words to jesus christ superstar. i would read anything douglas coupland wrote. nothing makes me happier than riding in the back of black london taxis. i don't like eating foods that are green, so that rules out spinach.

I too like spinach. Tell your friends!

[kormantic.livejournal.com]

I also like boys named Daniel and meteor showers and Space Ghost and ice cream and fresh laundry and you. Sab is cool, yo.

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

I just had turkey chili. Also, did you get my e-mail?

Also, you were in my dream AGAIN last night. Did you get the first dream, with Connie and the winter sports?

I have a scar on my forearm from making jam cookies.

You know what else I like? Shampoo. And things that smell like shampoo. Like, if they made a candle that smelled like shampoo.

Ask runpunkrun. We spent some time shopping for perfume that smelled like shampoo.

It's harder than it sounds.

Also. I love spinach. I adore spinach. I may need to correct the thesis statement above. And, my first love was a Daniel. Nice Jewish boy, natch.

Mostly, I like you. And your nerd genius cool.

[elke-tanzer.livejournal.com]

Um... I like spinach either fresh in salad with walnuts or cooked with butter and a dash of salt. *grin*

Re: Me.

I also hate beets. What's a TKE?

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

Was it the jam's fault?

I once broke a finger falling over a handicap ramp. Also, I am obsessive about buying school supplies. Goes off to buy more pens...

Me, I love shoe shopping. But I tend to only have one pair of shoes in "active duty" at a time. I'll wear them for six months or a year, then swap out for a new pair, depending on the climate and season.

I'm all for expensive shoes, comfortable and solid and sexy and smell good. If you ever want to go shoe shopping, call me and I'll be there.

Tau Kappa Epsilon, your standard Greek fraternity types. *g*

Okay, so _maayan and I went to the desert. We spent two days in the middle of X-Files-brand nothingness, all frightening and tumbleweedy and sandy and dry.

As we crested the mountains to return to civilization (Temecula), a mini-mall winked on the horizon, the red neon of a Staples humming in the afternoon sun.

We nearly kissed the ground. We bought pens and folders and three-ring binders and filing systems and accordion envelopes and index cards and day planners.

Mmmm, school supplies.

Me: I have a weakness for dusk and leather bracelets and boots. Also for lazy Sundays in bed with a real newspaper. And tea.

The sky's pink because the light's diffuse for the clouds. The yellow of the sun gets refracted pink because of the...stuff...in the atmosphere. Same as a sunset.

Now, why light refracts, why we see color, and why the sun is yellow to begin with -- I can't answer these questions and they make my head hurt.

I like all the other things you like. And I just sent my girl Sputnik to read your S&tC Miranda vignettes. So.
