Feb. 18: What do you want to be your legacy or what do you want to be remembered for or how would you like to be remembered?

From goldmournSurprisingly simple to answer: I want to write something that people will read a hundred years from now. I want to be remembered as being kind, as working hard, and as smiling a lot. (I'm working on smiling. I'm told ( Read more... )

From ssilverfishOne of the earliest memories I have is from around two years of age. I got "lost" in a small rose garden, where I'd been getting my picture taken. In the picture, I'm still pink around the nose from crying, but I doubt I was ever really lost...I just couldn't find my mom.

(So, yeah...this was supposed to be on the 12th, but then the week happened. Thank goodness that's over. I'm on my way to a birthday party for my brother, so this is more rushed than I'd like. )

Requested by glacier_kittyIn an alliterative moment of whimsy never displayed before (or after), my Mennonite grandfather named his second son Jerald James Janzen. My father, being the narcissist that he is, decided it would be a great idea to name all of his children alliteratively. I could have had a name that means something, something that perhaps tied me ( Read more... )

From sperlockThat's easy, because really at the moment we only have one vacation spot, period. Years ago, before Ben and I really knew we were a couple (although I'm sure everyone else had it figured out), we took a quick trip to the coast. I'd only seen the ocean a handful of times in my life up to that point, and we were desperate to get away from the ( Read more... )
