From lovediamond :When you see this, post your favorite poem in your journal.Unfortunately, my favorite poem is too long to post here. Here's how it begins:Midway this life we're bound upon,I woke to find myself in a dark wood,Where the right road was wholly lost and gone.Ay me! How hard to speak of it--that rudeAnd rough and stubborn…
Leave one memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you know/knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Don't send a message, leave a comment on here. Next, repost this in your notes and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to…
It’s harder than it looks! Copy to your own note, erase my answers, enter yours, and tag 10 people. (As is my wont, I won’t tag anyone else. Deal with it.) Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real … nothing made up! If the person before you had the same first initial, you must use different answers. You cannot use any word twice and you can’t use your name for the boy/girl name question.
My superintendent has been working to get the heat working properly in my apartment. He was in here the other day with a plumber.

In a couple of recent posts, I made some lengthy statements about marketing and media.

… or "The rise and fall of comic books in my life."
I became a comic-book fan when I was about seven years old. My weekly allowance was a quarter; for that amount of money I could buy two (yes, two!) comics and still have a penny change.
My 30th birthday took place at one of the threshold times in my life. I had recently read The Spiral Dance, and was in the process of looking for a Wiccan group. Six weeks later I would attend my first Wicca class/ritual, and my life would be forever changed.That change hadn't happened yet, but I was aware…
I said that I would tell this story, and here I keep that promise.For my 20th birthday party, I held an all-day event at my house. Good food, good games, good people (not in that order, of course).I'm a workman-like cook. I can't come up with much that's new or innovative, but I can follow a recipe. …
Last Wednesday was my birthday; I'm now 49. If you forgot, it's OK; birthdays are my affectation, and I don't expect everyone else to have the enthusiasm I do.I spent the evening in the company of friends, playing Munchkin. Afterwards my best friend stayed for a while and we hung out. He did some measurements and sketches…
