I know very little about some of the people who read this journal. Some people I know relatively well. (Some I know too well. You know who you are.) I read your journals, 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 read this, and I thank you for your interest in my words.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a couple of things 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...they listen in rapture to the love-music of she-turnips." I might feel compelled to mock your musical taste, but I'll certainly remember you.

I'd love it if everyone person who reads my journal would do this. Yes, even you people whom I know really well. Maybe especially you. Then post this in your own journal and see what gems of insight appear.

(thanks, Kat)
