It's a joining thing

Inside the blogger's mind

So it's a meme. I really should have chosen a different sweater for NAKNISWEMO so that I could be posting interesting knitting posts or beautiful progress but it is pretty much just all stockinette all the time at the moment so I will distract you with a meme(and a certain amount of ripping and re-knitting as I battle with the yarn and my perfectionism). I stole this from Laura at Urban Hennery

Here are the rules:
1. If you decide to answer, please leave a comment with a link to your blog.
2. You have to post these rules before you answer the questions.

1. What is your favorite word?
fortuitous

2. What is your least favorite word?
chunk (especially in referring to parts of a word)

3. What turns you on [creatively, spiritually or emotionally]?
Open-mindedness, true conversation and exchange of ideas

4. What turns you off? 
People who can't entertain any ideas other than their own.

5. What sound or noise do you love?
skillfully played violin

6. What sound or noise do you hate?
the sound of paper being torn

7. What is your favorite curse word?
I really don't curse much, I do use Norma's W.T. F*ck from time to time. I remember a post about it and where it came from but can't find it in her archives. But I like (as I believe she mentioned in that post) how it is like someone's name JD Salinger or that sort of thing and it catches people off guard.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
foreign service or some other job that involved my background in international development

9. What profession would you not like to do?
sales of a product that I didn't believe in. I would be pretty bad at most sales jobs but I can't lie well so trying to sell something I thought was crap or useless would be horrible.

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"you made a difference..."

Who knew I was all this...

Well, being that I haven't blogged much lately, I guess you wouldn't complain too much with a meme -- I encountered this on Erin's blog. Type "Jasmine is" into Google and here is what you get.

  • Jasmine is fiercely independent (even a bit of a hothead)...
  • Jasmine is kidnapped by Jafar and Maleficent.
  • Jasmine is suddenly widowed at seventeen...
  • Jasmine is crazy-hilarious.
  • Jasmine is such a card.
  • Jasmine is not "a" plant.
  • Jasmine is a recovering alcoholic and Johnnie Walker keeps calling her name.
  • Jasmine is faced with much turmoil and many choices, none of which are easy.
  • Jasmine is one of the first plants that comes to mind when one thinks of sweet fragrance.

Try it -- it might amuse you.
