I'm going to take one last shot at this blogging thing and then it might be time to move to another forum ( Read more... )

Day 16 → A song that makes you cry (or nearly)
There's one country song about a last good-bye that's really sad, and always makes me wistful, but I don't tend to cry a lot at songs. Hymns, yes, but that's for other reasons.

Day 17 → An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)
I recently posted about photography and I just subscribed to the Nat' ( Read more... )

Day 15 → A fanfic
Hmm. Am I supposed to write one? Or comment on those I have read? I haven't read any in a while, but ones that I have read in the past have been Harry Potter-related (I don't know how!) and one that sticks out in my mind was between Draco and Harry (their unrequited love). One I would like to see is between Mac and Veronica, as it' ( Read more... )

Day 14 → A non-fictional book
The two I read this year that have stayed with me are 52 Loaves and Sweater Quest, and I highly recommend them to anyone interested in yearly projects, baking/cooking or knitting.

My last day at TD today. Kind of a surprise, but kind of not. I would've liked to have finished out the year (especially with Christmas on ( Read more... )

Busy weekend! But lovely. Full of Christmas, and burlesque, and a nice nap. Well worth it. Wish I had more. Back to the meme.

Day 09 → A photo you took
I found a picture yesterday of H that I took on our trip to Florida in 2008 and it's (one of) my favourite ones of her, full of life and wild abandon, something I'm starting to see again.

Day 10 → A ( Read more... )

Day 08 → A photo that makes you angry/sad
Two responses to this thought:
I don't really have a nice photo of my grandma and me after about age 13. Or really any nice photos of us after I was no longer a baby. I really wish this wasn't the case.
Photos of myself. I don't have a lot of nice ones of those either, though I guess they could be nice photos ( Read more... )

Day 07 → A photo that makes you happy
One that is on the wall. I have a lot of photos that I love and that make me happy, especially ones from travelling around, but I still haven't managed to get them up onto our walls.

I find I really appreciate photography these days, more so than art, even. There's something about the texture of photographs, how ( Read more... )

Day 06 → Whatever tickles your fancy
This morning I did lots of eavesdropping. The subway was really full, but there were these really cool girls (teenagers, I can't believe I am really 10 years older than them) and I loved listening to their conversation. When they got on, one of them saw I was reading Prince Caspian and said, "You know what book I ( Read more... )

Day 04 → Your favourite book
The Diviners by Margaret Laurence. Something everyone should read once in their life.

Day 05 → Your favourite quote
I don't tend to remember quotes very well, but one of my favourites is "Gandhi once said, 'We must live the change that we wish to see.' I would add that we must live the life we dream." Renee Martinez, This ( Read more... )
