I read that letter to my mom over the phone yesterday. She said I made her cry. Mission accomplished. (However, because it was Mothers' Day, I could have read her an abstract on an ion chromatography experiment or pretended to read a phonebook IN CYRILLIC and she would have still cried.) 

I'm preparing to write an About Me page to go with this journal. What I would LOVE is your two cents. Comment with something you know about me. The rule is, I have to use whatever you write. Your rule is, there are no rules. Write whatever you want, good, bad, ugly. You can even leave yourselves anonymous if you want. It can be one word; it can be many. You can also comment as often as you want. If you forget something, go ahead and add it! You're anonymous anyway, right? Thing is, if you're anonymous, you can't delete, which means you can't retract. I'm going to use everything. Of course, I'll be writing a few things about myself. What? Opinions about myself are solely based on the impressions and opinions of others? Because that would be mentally healthy.

Need hints? here are some:

Think back to elementary/junior high/high school/college
Imagine my pets
Discuss where I've lived
Describe my (very few and very endearing) quirks

I'm sure you can come up with something on your own as well. I'll post-date this entry for Saturday, because that's when I plan on finishing the write-up.

Enjoy.
