This is the last meme I'm doing this year. SHMG.

Four places I'd rather be right now:

1. K-2
2. Joren
3. Ravelin
4. Trellus

Four foods I like to eat:

3. Pecan pie

Four personal heroes, past or present:

Four words or phrases you would like to see used more often:

3. I'm not afraid.
4. I'm tagging Jordan Summers.

Four reasons for ending a friendship:

1. Abuse (emotional or physical)

3. Bigotry.
4. Memes. All right, not memes. Lies.

Four smells that make you feel good about the world:

My question: Four favorite activities you did as a kid:

1. Building sandcastles at the beach

  2. I need someone to make me decent cassoulet someday, because the one time I tried (admittedly, with a vegetarian version), the results were quite dubious.

    But I know there must be a way to make it delicious. Perhaps I should turn to my America's Test Kitchen version and give it a go.

  3. Okay, I've done one. It's over at Jaye Patrick.

    People have such interesting lives.

  6. I propose that from now on, we tag Jordan instead of getting tagged by Jordan.

  7. I got tagged by someone else for this meme. It was fun. I've given up trying to avoid them. (Which doesn't mean send me a ton, just that I'm not getting irritated any more.)

    It was nice reading about you. Thanks.

  10. I agree with BE Sanderson to an extent. I used to avoid these things. Now I just don't get irritated when they come up.

    But it doesn't mean I do them often.

    If you click on my name, you'll go directly to the post with the meme. Can someone tell me what the tag is to link in a comment?

  17. Jess:

    Mine blog addy, with parentheses instead of carats, would be this:

    (a href="http://letters2charlie.blogspot.com")Letters to Charlie(/a)

    Do it right, and you get this:

    Letters to Charlie

  18. I'm sure I did it somewhere months ago.

    That is interesting about the mid-meme POV change though.
