Less of a meme and more of a youyou

(gacked from obsessedmuch)

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

My personal goal is: to get over my writer's block, write my Obscure Santa thingy, and perhaps do something illegal this weekend.

I aim high.

a. I once dyed my hair in the guest bathroom and got dye on the toilet seat and it ate through the enamel. I thought my mum was going to kill me.
b. Me too
c. Poor Lamont. (This is only funny if you've seen that episode of The Cosby Show)
d. What kind? How many do you have?

b. isn't it great?
c. nope, haven't seen that ep. my fish was named blacky (mavroulis)
d. I have 11 kaleidoscopes. out of them only two are really expensive - and those were gifts. most of them are simple two or three mirror scopes.

my personal favourites are three: the first kaleidoscope I ever got (from my paediatrician, he had it at his lobby and when he retired he gave it to me because he knew how much I loved it). it was made in India and it works with semi-precious stones.

the other one is a scope I found in Monastiraki (a bazaar in Athens where you can find used and inexpensive stuff). this one has a wooden base and it used to be a child's toy - you can see the carved initials. you look through it like you would from a microscope. it's really old, but unfortunately the guy that sold it to me didn't know where he got it from.

and my last favourite is the newest one to find:) I bought it from this small magic shop a couple of weeks ago. the eye hole is a painting of a real eye, it uses liquid with moons and stars and is absolutely beautiful.
