I'm not going to be a lemming on this one...

I pondered doing one of those "ask me anything you want" posts, and then I realized that I really didn't want to. I think I'm just too much of a closed person. I'd hate to lie in an answer to a question posed that way, and yet I know I would, if asked the wrong question. Or I might even be willing to tell the askee the truth, but I sure wouldn't want to post it in a public forum.

It's not even like I have any deep dark secrets. *shrug* maybe I'm just a chicken. Or maybe I'm afraid no one would care enough to ask anything good.

You could answer questions selectively.

Like mine: Do you know how much I love you?

Honestly?

No, probably not. I'm not good at knowing or seeing stuff like that.

If you ever want to know...

all you have to do is say the words.

I'm going to guess that you wouldn't have asked, if the answer wasn't "A lot". So I'll just try to remember that. *grin*

Its funny. I basically said the same thing to Wiley in the car. For a split second I thought that would be a good idea. Seeing as how i can barely find anything important that i am willing to actually share just for a normal LJ entry however....maybe not so much. I would lie too, I would pretend to myself that I hadn't maybe, and I might even beleive it for a few minutes. Yeah, thats no way to approach it. I will think more on the subject and decide if I am willing to be open. I am dubious.

I'm a bitch and so I am going to ask you my question anyway.

What is one thing you do that, while you do it, your 'youness' is emphasized, that, during this activity, you are more uniquely 'you' than other times?

You'll probably also be a bitch and not answer. ;)

Wow...

I've been thinking about this one all weekend.

A few years ago, I would have said my feminism. Wow, really more years ago than I want to think about. But, I've really moved away from being strong and willing to fight about women's issues/rights/what-have-you.

Now, I think it would be stitching. It sounds so lame, but it's one hobby that I enjoy pretty much without limits. Even though a lot of my friends join me in the hobby, I think I enjoy it more than any of them, and and I think I'm better at it than most of them. I'm certainly more interested, and more "adventurous". I love working with my hands, and this is one way I can without getting all dirty. I love the challenge of learning complicated stitches, and the satisfaction of making them perfect.

Although, just the other day, I was thinking that when I stitch someone else's design (like the big Mirabilia in my dining room) that the average person admiring it is really admiring someone else's artwork, not my stitching. After all, from 6 feet away, that's what they see. If I were a lousy stitcher, it wouldn't be as beautiful, but since I am good at it, the stitching becomes almost transparent, in a way. So, I think want to start designing my own stuff, at least for a few select pieces.

So, I think that's about it. Too bad I didn't live in a time hen I could have put the skills to good use, eh?
