A Short Paragraph About You
An on-line friend from Goteburg sent me two samples of a Swedish instrument called a nyckelharpa. It's got a great sound--like a cross among a zither, a fiddle, a dulcimer and something indefinable. I'm using it to mine samples to slice, but I admire the samples as they stand now, unadorned.
Today marked another very busy day. I am tired.
The newspaper advised that this January is the most rainy since 1898. We do extremes well where I live. Other places are warmer, other places are colder, but we have compelling contrasts.
I like a meme that is going around the internet these days. I'm impressed, too, with the aplomb people bring to this meme.
Thus, I'm going to incorporate that meme into this post, and issue you an invitation:
I'd be delighted to write you a short paragraph about how cool you are, and what I like about you and your journal. There are but three rules:
a. you may not write back to deny any compliments paid;
b. you need not duplicate my feat in your journal;
c. you shall not turn inot a winged monkey.
I reserve the right to:
a. write a long paragraph, or more than one
b. wax effusively
c. go off on tangents
d. give unexpected praise
As you know, I like to start these things with a silly word in reply.
If you are interested, could you reply--
"All about me"

I love the way you write, which is probably also behind your caveat about waxing effusively :) I do wonder how much you feel you know about me. We live so close, yet know each other only through LJ.

I like that you worked through to advance your education, and that you cope with physical challenges that might daunt others. I like that you're such a caring and loyal parent.
I like that you write with a voice that sounds like you have a lot of common sense. I like that we live not ten miles from one another, and yet we don't in some ways live in the same places at all.
I like that you get on the school website and check out the rules. I like that you don't see your life as bogged down, but instead as moving forward. I find your journal a solid, easy read, no matter how little I know!
