"I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Some of you I don't know at all because I didn't friend you back (yet?). Perhaps you haven't been around for long, perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended 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..."

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 and see what gems of knowledge appear."


So, dear f-list - give me some fun random facts about yourselves!

I'll start: I don't like memes. It's like when I find a greeting card that says exactly what I want to say to someone. I feel like I have to apologize for being trite. But I really would like to know you people.

Hi! ::waves:: I'm Sascha. Married for 11 years, two daughters (one 16 and one 4). Let's see...I'm a secondary ed student who is crazy enough to want to teach English in an innercity high school. Random facts...I've had an essay on Anne Rice's Vampire Ball published in one of her nationally released biographies by George Beahm. I was trained as a classical singer with a range from Soprano I to Tenor II and was often put in the Tenor section to bolster the sound. My favorite books in the whole world are Dune, LOTR and The Eight. I've met Avery Brooks three times and some of my best friends went to Rutgers and had him as a professor. Oh yeah, and your quote from my breastfeeding query was used as the closing statement on my extended breastfeeding thesis. ;)

Is that good? LOL!

I find your life extremely interesting. Evan more so when you compare it to mine.

You're the only person on my fl who doesn't share a fandom involvement with me. Which makes me a little nervous.

I'd like to be an inner city teacher, too, except I'm frozen by anxiety in groups and, oh yeah, I don't believe in public education. But other than that I think it would be fascinating.

Deep Space Nine is my favorite Star Trek.

I'm extremely flattered I said something about breastfeeding that you thought was worth quoting. It's one of those issues that really gets me going.
