When I grow up I want to be in the SCA
Jul. 9th, 2008 08:47 pmBecause I seem to have a number of friends in the SCA. I just have too much other stuff going on in my life right now to splinter off some time for it.
( I took this just for the H377 of it! )

Meme: Journal Entry 42
Jul. 3rd, 2007 10:35 pmSeen on a couple of other friend's blogs. Linking to this entry. And, guess what? It's another meme! LOL!
I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with the meaning of my life. It has everything to do with what I choose to post and what amuses me.

Meme: American Culture Influence
Jun. 24th, 2007 10:37 pmAnother one from bronx_baroness:
What is American Culture anyway?
bronx_baroness:What is American Culture anyway?
| You Have Not Been Ruined by American Culture |
 You're nothing like the typical American. In fact, you may not be American at all. You have a broad view of the world, and you're very well informed. And while you certainly have been influenced by American culture (who hasn't?), it's not your primary influence. You take a more global philosophy with your politics, taste, and life. And you're always expanding and revising what you believe. |
Journal Rating thing
Jun. 24th, 2007 12:01 pm
Mingle2 - Online Dating
Apparently my journal is safe for all ages. I'm sure they only look at what is publicly visible on the first page and don't go back to any previous entries. The Klingon's blog is rated PG-13. I imagine John Scalzi's June 20 entry would get him an NC-17 rating.
Mid-morning quiz: Logic
Jun. 22nd, 2007 10:18 amConsidering that I took beginning logic in college mmph years ago:

Meme: Gratitude for Interwebs Friends
Jun. 14th, 2007 09:19 pm"If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal."
Must resist correcting grammar and awkward sentence. . .
Yes, there are people I've met via LJ and the Internet, who have increased the enjoyment value of my life! Much Thanks!
