A meme...

A couple of people have asked and yes, I did suspend my facebook account. No big drama, I just hardly ever went and when I did go I found myself getting irritated too easily. And I've been trying to minimize the negative lately.

A meme from the marvelous marcasite:



• Comment with "Come at me, bro"
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

1. Where would you like to live, if you could live anywhere?

I'd probably like to live in the mountains...it's cooler, it snows more. I've been to the Smoky Mountains and the Rocky Mountains and they're both gorgeous.

2. Where do you see yourself in ten years?

This question sort of threw me for a loop. I think I focus so much of my energy on getting Savannah through her teen years and sending her to college, I don't think a lot about my future. I hope what I do for a living is more rewarding...whether it's at the job I'm at now or another one. I hope I'm healthier in ten years, I hope I have accomplished more practically and grown spiritually.

3. If you could change one thing about your life, what would that be?

The things I always say I'd like to change are I'd like to be thinner and I'd like to have more money. Recently I've committed to a healthier lifestyle, not just for weight loss but to actually be healthier. Money, I guess, is a given. But if it's something within my control? I'd go back and finish my degree. I'm so close, but never seem to have the time/energy/money to make the push to finish.

But really? The thing I'd love to change most about my life is me. I'd like to be fearless...I'd like to stop worrying about money and enjoy what I have. I'd like to write my novel without being afraid. I'd like to be more compassionate and more positive, instead of letting the day-to-day get me down. I'd like to never pass up the opportunity to tell someone I love them or tell them what's good about them. I'd like to not lose my temper with my daughter. I'd like to accept myself more.

4. Who are your favourite Criminal Mindsfan fic authors and what is it about them that appeals to you?

wojelah and smittywing brought me to the Criminal Minds dance and I fangirl them both madly. What they write is so smart and real...they both have the ability to demonstrate what a character is thinking with just the use of a word or two. What they write is adult and realistic, they both have the ability to create scenes that are true slices of life and engage the senses. shetiger is amazing and lyrical, and I fangirl her as well...I just wish there was more of her stuff. Non-ship (meaning not my OTP Prentiss/Rossi) writers who are amazing: bessemerprocess and bluerosefairy.

5. Favourite love story of all time?

Favorite love story as an actual story? Movie: Sabrina. Book: The first Harlequin I ever read, Except My Love (don't judge me, I was 9. STOP JUDGING ME!) and Jane Eyre Real life: euqort and just_jeff because theirs is ongoing, continually faces challenges, but they never, ever forget what's really important, they are two of the most INCREDIBLE people in the world, they make the world a better place just by being here and though it's a love story between 2 people, it's a love story about 7 people.

Peace, y'all.
