September Meme, Days 20 to 25
I've been off line for the last week. This month has been odd, with periods of busy and periods of quiet. So, much catching up to do on the meme. Behind a cut again, to save your flists.

September Meme, Days 13 to 19
I knew I wouldn't be doing this month's meme questions every day, but somehow it has got away from me this week, so this is a big catch-up. I'm therefore inserting cuts, to save your flists.

It's Saturday! It's also mid-September. I feel like I am constantly amazed at the realisation that so much of the year has passed.
The meme questions for yesterday and today are:
11. Do you like having your picture taken? Why or why not?Not particularly. I usually get out of it by being the person behind the camera ( Read more... ) -
September Meme, Day 10
I know someone who would jump at this proposal *g* And I would be very tempted, with one (or maybe two) important provisos -
10. Would you sign up to be a colonist on another planet if it meant you would never be able to return to earth?Only if I could take all the people I care about with me. If I could do that, then yes, certainly. It would ( Read more... )
