hey, I really liked this post. I love to read your blog. I share a lot of your thoughts and feelings. I wanted to ask you if it was okay to take this wonderful post and post the questions as a sort of questionaire on my blog for anyone who might want to answer them. Is that okay? Your questions & answers are beautiful, and I would love to answer them myself for sort of a theraputic/revealing look at myself. But, I would also like to learn about my friends by using this. Just let me know

pyr: it's actually two tags... that's what the === in the middle is for... but yeah, it's tough that second one..

and thanks, it's the only thing i know to be true in the world.


lisa: hello and be welcome.

it is of course okay, this is just two memes i stuck together which somehow turned it into one really great meme... but since it's a meme you can just take it and do what thou wilt...

that said, i can change the post to officially tag you if you like?

either way? have fun.


kj: thanks babe.

you too... i'm going cottaging so it looks good...


john: i got two thirds of the way through and i couldn't take it anymore. i'm sure there's some wonderful metaphor hiding in the endless repetition but i couldn't take it anymore.

that said? i can so see why other folks would love it.

sass- you're apathetic to warmongering? does that mean you're neutral in opinion to what the US is currently doing in the Middle East? i have a feeling you're against this in general but maybe that line didn't come out the way you intended. or, maybe i'm just interpreting it wrong.

*clears throat*
*points out slight correction in post due to typing while tired*
*blushes*

peasant: apathetic? i didn't say that... i said antipathic *grin*

:) thanks for pointing it out.

You did your tag!

What is with those Zen books?? In college I had to read Zen and the Art of Archery ...for no apparent reason. Teensy book but took forever to get through and then I just kept trying to find the POINT and couldn't.

Kind of like Hemingway.

Man, I feel you on the papa love. Grandparents are so painfully missable.
