[meme] I only do these because Reinette is a trendsetter.
TEN things you wish you could say to TEN different people right now:
1. Stop blaming yourself. Right now. It was the right choice.
2. I'll never let you go. No matter what. Maybe that's the most selfish thing I've ever set my mind to.
3. I miss you. I even miss how things tend to go boom when you're around.
4. I want to know what you know, and what you're doing, and why you know what you know and why you're doing what you're doing. I know if I ask you'll just say I ought to be more patient, but it still drives me up the wall.
5. Quit leaving the toilet seat in the bathroom off the library up.
6. Lord, wouldn't Ozma love you.
7. I wish you wouldn't look at me that way when you think I'm not looking.
8. You need to find a nice girl.
9. I'm waiting for the day I hear you've died, and for real this time. Part of me actually wants to hear it so I can stop worrying. I expect it won't be long now. I'm sorry.
10. I know you're happier with us than you let on, I just wish you'd tell me so every now and then.
NINE things about yourself:
1. I've beaten everyone I've ever played at cribbage, except Auntie Em.
2. I will try anything once.
3. I burned my bra in the '60s.
4. I have only two living relatives, and have only had two living relatives for my whole life.
5. I own my own apartment in the Emerald City, even though I have my own official residence at the Emerald Palace.
6. I've had dozens of dogs in my lifetime, mostly shepherds. Toto was the only terrier.
7. I have never been to Venice. (But I'd like to. Hint hint.)
8. When I was a girl I missed going to a traveling carnival because the entire week it was in town I was sick with chicken pox. Still bitter about that.
9. I really dislike the color pink. Awful.
EIGHT ways to win your heart:
1. Treat me as an equal.
2. Show me some respect. I'm not as young as I look.
3. Make me laugh.
4. Surprise me.
5. Teach me something I didn't know.
