1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and write a drabble about (each of) the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
These are the six that![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}

I took pictures of stuff in and around the house, including these cunning little shoes I made in high school pottery class.

still thirsty! - Music:boneyard classic rock
Went to the Gardens today, armed with spare batteries and my laptop. Was going to ask a staff member to help identify two plants from the last trip. Figured I'd do it on the way out. Oops. On my way out there was no staff to ask, which means I lugged the thing around for two hours for no reason. Even worse, it was my own damn fault. :-)

Then there are all the Fiona Apple songs, with their odd rhyming schemes and syncopation. The snippet of Solitary Man that I've been singing since "Vegas" aired in January.
American Pie, sometimes with Weird Al's The Saga Begins lyrics.
Sondheim songs.
I Dreamed a Dream (thanks, Susan)
God Rest Ye, Merrie Gentlemen (not just seasonally)
Let the River Run, from the Working Girl soundtrack
Across the Universe, (Loudon Wainwright's take on it, from Sam I Am, as I'm not that fond of the Beatles' version. Heresy, I know.)
Crowded House's entire Woodface album, particularly All I Ask
Or, for a change of pace, I'll whistle Mozart's Symphony #25 in G-minor

Today I buried her in the backyard, under the apple tree and honeysuckle. She was 16 years old and caught a cat cold last week, so it wasn't terribly surprising when she laid down in the neighbor's yard and died. Doesn't make me any happier about it, though.
She was the last of my four cats. Why four? I had a string of cats who didn't live past three (hit by car, ran away, cancer), so when Little Face was 2.5, I got Youdere as a backup. When she was 5 and he was 2.5, I figured they were both due to keel over soon, and got Emma. Hetty followed the next year. I went from no cat surviving three years to four cats over 13. Now I'm back to none, for the first time in 20 years.
- Location:living room, ironically enough
- Mood: melancholy
- Music:blackened by metallica
I went the the Missouri Botanical Garden. "Wait, I've read this already," you say. Nope. I decided to go back to get the plant names I'd forgotten, and get more plant pix with my newly re-batteried camera.
My favorite shot of the day. I was trying to focus on the back flower, and have the front one blurry. Camera disagreed. Camera was right. Good camera.

I went to the Missouri Botanical Garden. It drizzled for two hours before I got there, and for the rest of the night after I left, but not at all while I was there. Which I appreciated.
My favorite shot of the day. It came out exactly as I'd hoped it would. And we all know how rare that is.

I've read all of these a minumum of 15 times, which freaks my boss out. He doesn't see how I can read a book again, especially a mystery where I now know whodunit. Sometimes it's just about the journey the words make in my head, ya know?
Feel free to rec me any books this list makes you think I'd like. I'm always on the lookout for new authors.

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other.
So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Or something completely random. Ask away.
Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!
