Look, a meme!

Swiped this from kyaraelf. Maybe I'll manage to post every day. Even more exciting, maybe I'll manage to post every day without shrieking about politics.

You can answer the prompt however you would like, since it's your journal and your meme after it leaves the monkey tree. I'll be writing ficlets to answer them. Drabble or doodle or just ramble on the topic. Fandom or real life. Speak for yourself or for a character. Have fun. You don't have to spread it out over 30 days if you don't want to, either, you can answer them all at once. Or take a few months.

What do you get if you finish? A banana, of course! Well, a virtual one, or a real one, since you'll be giving it to yourself, have your banana any way you like it!

One of my recent status updates was as follows, "I can't actually differentiate when I'm being weird honestly, because the spirit moves me, from when I'm being weird self-consciously, because I want to be contrary or because I feel like it's expected." I bring this up because I'm reminded of a story from high school that ties in nicely.

My favorite color is blue, always has been. In 12th grade, our English teacher asked us without explaining why, to write either "Black" or "Gold" on a sheet of paper and hand it in. My friend Ken wrote "Blue" and, following his cue, I wrote "Blue," too. We therefore ended up being the captains of an impromptu trivia game. The reason I mention this is that we both got singled out, but Ken was really the one who was marching to his own drummer. I was only tagging along. It's been a long time, but I still find myself wondering if I'm really unique and interesting or just a good copycat.
