My belated meme response...
I haven't updated in any noteworthy or otherwise worthy way in a while, so I figured it was about time. I owe hecubuscathead her meme-tag of 10 "M" Things I Love, and my head has been musing on a variety of stuff.
I'm really late with this, but I swear it's because I wanted to really think about it (and a sea of deadlines has washed over me, eroding my zest for writing yet-more-things for a while). The meme idea was to list ten things that are recipients of my happy heartbeams and begin with my assigned letter (M, which turned out to be sort of difficult). If you want to play the game, respond and I'll tag you with a letter -- other than Q or X, if you're nice.
You now have so much evidence that can be used against me...

- mayara13: Well, duh.
- Mexicans. This was going to be Mexican food originally, but then I decided that I'm so sick and tired of the idiot xenophobia running rampant these days that, no, fukkit, I want to tell the world that I like Mexican people. Redneck America, if they're taking your jo-o-obs, which they're pretty much not, it's not just because of wage differences. It's because they're nicer, more honest, more strongly motivated, and work harder than you.
- Melons. Particularly honeydew melons, which I might be able to live on exclusively for weeks at a time if nature would let me.
- Microcomputers. Old ones, please.
- Manitoba. Even Canadians make fun of it as being the middle of nowhere, and it pretty much is. But I really liked Winnipeg when I stayed there for a while, and, well, what's wrong with being in the middle of nowhere? Nowhere is a lovely place to be!
- Midgaard. I've been living there for over thirty years, and on the balance, I've been grooving on it so far. Could use more otters, though.
- Muskrats. I'm using them a symbol for all Midwestern woodland critters that people from other places have often never seen or heard of. (Note that I do not love "Muskrat Love," however.)
- Moria. Sure, it's a bit run-down these days, but living in a dwarven fortress hewn from the living rock is pretty much my notion of the divine habitat.
- Mephistopheles. Not so much the demon himself as his name. That's one hell of a word to know how to spell and say out loud, and it sounds awesome to boot.
- Metal. The musical variety, especially for favorite subgenres like really, really overblown and pretentious symphonic metal/classical mishmashes, thrash, and dreary gothic metal.
