In an effort to get more content here, I asked darkoni42 to provide me with seven topics to talk about. I believe the rules of this meme obligate me to pay these topics forward on request, but I expect everyone who reads this and is likely to participate has already gotten a goodly set of topics for themselves.

So, without further ado, ( I'll strain to remember how to use an lj-cutCollapse )

Another Intercon has come and gone this past weekend, and several new people have been added to my orbit at varying altitudes. I once again have found myself in the position to explain what the hell I'm doing on this planet, and what business I have doing it. The purpose of my life has always been slightly vague for me. I've always assumed I existed to advance the cause of humanity, although perhaps in some roundabout way. Depending on the time and mood, I've thought myself to be a cog in the machine, the savior of mankind 30 years from now, the arch-villain in somebody else's life story, and all manner of other things.

While reflecting, however, I realized that everything I am and everything I do these days is not toward some nebulous victory over entropy, but is directly derived from those around me. As those around me are well-represented by this readership, let me ask: What am I to you?

OK, this one I like. Answer a pile of questions, get a grade. Comments screened, results publicish (Anonymous entries without signatures will be ignored, or worse.) Hours- or days-delayed gratification.

( The QuestionsCollapse )

The first five people to respond to this post will get some form of art by me about them. I make no guarantees about quality or type, but I will assure that I will give it good effort and that the art will be individual to you, so if you get a mixed CD or some sort of painting doodle, yours is the only one like it.

This one I really liked -- creative memes. Whoda thunk it?

Its been over 2 years since I last posted this meme, and my friends list has changed dramatically since then. So here's the deal. 19 questions for you in answer in comment, completely voluntary. If you've not done it here before, I'd encourage it, or if your answers have changed since the last time you did. In fact, even if you feel like pounding out the same answers again, go for it. Anyways, here they are:

7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.

Because Certain People give me trouble about not posting enough memes...

Ask me a question (comments will be screened permanently), and I'll answer it in another post.

Because sometimes I do jump on the bandwagon.
