Oh, memes are fun.
Feb. 3rd, 2009 05:51 pmI am stealing memes from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xenokattz and penknife today!
When you see this, post your favourite poem in your journal.
Maybe not my favorite, but one of them!
The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep,
And round the pebbly beaches far and wide
I heard the first wave of the rising tide
Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep;
A voice out of the silence of the deep,
A sound mysteriously multiplied
As of a cataract from the mountain's side,
Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep.
So comes to us at times, from the unknown
And inaccessible solitudes of being,
The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul;
And inspirations, that we deem our own,
Are some divine foreshadowing and foreseeing
Of things beyond our reason or control.
~Henry Wordsworth Longfellow, "The Sound of the Sea", Masque of Pandora and Other Poems, 1875

halfamoon: 14 days of fannish women celebrating! Yay!
14valentines: 14 days of celebrating women and women's issues. Kind of cool!
nanoflail: I loved this comm this November--smaller and less intimidating than other NaNoWriMo comms, and very fun.

And another one!
I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. 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 office supplies." I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this (which we all know won't happen). Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer. [edit by Katt: I reserve the right to weasel my way out of certain questions I consider too private because I'm a crochety intarwebs dinosaur.]
...Keeping Katt's edit, because--ditto!
