Fame at last, and other things

Before I forget! in_the_bottle, thank you so much for the card! It arrived a while back but I keep forgetting to say thank you. I've brought it to work so I can have it on my desk. Also, bironic, your card arrived last night (I think the international post is quicker than the UK's) and well, it's entirely possible that I welled up. Just a little bit. *cough*. Thank you, so much. Plus, I love your handwriting :)

I think the list form is working for everyone, so I intend to continue with it...

( 1. Who would have thought a choir of librarians would make the evening news? )

( 2. Of course, this could be why my skirts have been getting a bit tight... )

( 3. Writing still stuck. Nothing to see here )

( 4. Ooh! )

And a meme! Last scene at travels_in_time's:

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. 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...they listen in rapture to the love-music of she-turnips." I might feel compelled to mock your musical taste, but I'll certainly remember you.

It would be great 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.
I know there are some people who lurk shyly around there or who've friended me recently - I'm always surprised when people do that (sometimes I bore myself so how the rest of you put up with me I have no idea), so I'd love to meet you properly!
