Oh, I underestimated the digest mail waiting for me; I have something like 175 messages waiting, and most of those are digests. I'm going to be busy! Either that, or I'll have to do triage and eliminate several unread just to get through.


Meme junk:

E is for - Essential item to bring to a party: chocolate. Ice Cream ranks right up there, too.
F is for - Favourite song at the moment: Into the West, I suppose. Or something by Enya. More into instrumentals than vocals, though

O is for - Overnight hospital stays: some, yes, but I don't really remember details - was very small at the time; unless you count my infirmary time in college - one day as soph, one week as senior (that was interesting...103.8 degree fever makes your fingernails look blue, did you know? That's when they got out the narcotics;)

Last Cuss Word Uttered: ...actually, I don't know. They come into my head more often than they come out my mouth; I have a lot of practice at watching my tongue. The only reason they come into my head at all is the fact that it's impossible to avoid them in modern culture - go to the mall, you'll hear five-year-olds swearing at their parents. It's sad.

I Think: that a lot of people hide details from their own families and spouses, and expecting major revelations online is a bit much. I try for a mix of serious and lighthearted, but some of these things just aren't anyone's business. I wonder, sometimes, why people ask such personal details; there is a certain level of anonymity afforded by the 'net, this is true, but not enough for some of these things, especially since some of these ask for true names. I won't post things that I wouldn't tell my closest friends; that makes no sense.
