"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.

Let's see -- I hate memes where I have to say things about myself because I can never think of what to say. I'm a 37 yr old married lady with two kids. My younger brother has Down Syndrome and my younger son has autism, so some days my life resembles an afterschool special or an episode of "Life Goes On." When I was in high school my friend and I wrote a truly horrible RPF involving the members of various 80s hair metal bands. I love John Sheppard to the point my kids call him "mommy's boyfriend."

My 10 year old has been diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder plus about 50 other things, so I have some idea how that goes.

When I was in Junior High we spent a lot of time making up stories about Chad Everett from Medical Center, a show I can't remember much about. I think there was a lot of emoting and wallowing. I'm thankful it never occurred to us to write the stories down.

I vacillate between wanting to marry Sheppard and wanting to be Sheppard.
