Post o List

[lettered]

So . . . I don't think my 15 minute project will work, as I don't have enough time to answer comments for a post a day. *tinkers* Now it is every other day, except Sundays. Because that is the Lord's day, which means I work until 6, get home at 7, then because Sunday's The Lord's Movie Night, overload on cookies and movies about cannibals. Or something.

But I am posting today, because I keep thinking, "Oh! I should do a post about that!" and I do not have a List. Lists make me feel very cozy, like Linus's blanket. I like to think of things to cross off on them and then write them down and then not cross them off. Anyway, this list probably won't make that much sense to anyone but me. I plan to add to it and cross things off. But who knows.



Madeya look.

Looks like a lot of great posts coming our way. :D

[tkp.livejournal.com]

dunno about that . . .!

[stefanie-bean.livejournal.com]

This list would be perfect if it had "Make cookies!" on it. :D

(Just kidding - it's a nice list and I am tempted to do one myself.)

[tkp.livejournal.com]

...there was going to be a cooking section.

[orexisbella.livejournal.com]

I love lists! Let's colour-code it!

Also I still have not replied to your other post that I said I was going to reply to. I suck. :(

[tkp.livejournal.com]

hahahaha! Notice my use of brackets.

...what other post? I already forgot.

Love your icon.

I love you. And I love your list. I want to read everything on it. I am not very helpful, because I am encouraging EVERYTHING which means I can't goad you very efficiently. Though obviously my pet darlings have more immediate, guy-level interest to me. (Those things I've shown you/we've watching/talked about together.)

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. Well, I hope to do all of it. I tell myself this isn't an unrealistic goal, but of course sometimes it feels like expecting myself to finish ANYTHING is unrealistic. I wish I could be an idea-maker when I grow up.

Thanks for being interested.

[my_daroga]

You don't need to thank me for being interesting. Some of it is selfish, because you are interesting and make me think even when what you're talking about might seem silly.

And you finish stuff. You do. And we will finish more.

YAY!!!

m'just sayin.
