I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal, if you feel like it.

I befriended you because I like your spunk and spirit. I also think the cat picture is delightful. I'm considering the look for one of my 5 cats (all related - Himilayan and Himilayan/Siamese - *way* too much hair!!!)

I am new to LJ and have very little personal time. So I am adding new friends every time I cross a "kindred spirit" and enjoying getting to know them a little. I need to write in my own journal more but I get interested in my friends, old and new.

When I was small, my father worked for NASA and was always pulling us out of bed at 3 a.m. in PJs to see the Northern Lights, A Comet with an actual wide tail, moons around a planet. He really opened my eyes. Thanks Dad.

I used to play cello until someone borrowed and never returned it. It was made in 1789 in Marseilles, France and was marched through the streets. (Peg holes in the back.) I speak a little french and have been to Paris, to Montreal and Quebec.

I've been to Europe 7 times and lived in a village of 50 in southern England called Crowhurst.

If we were a nicer country, I'd go again.

My name means whiteraven in Gaelic.
I made it up and the "sex" is wrong. LOL!!!!

I've never seen the Northern Lights except in photos, although I used to sit on the pier of my grandparents' cabin at night looking for them for hours.

Oooo....you would love them.

They are genuinely the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen. Like rippling curtains of violet and blue and yellow and green lights.... Made me think of "Mother" nature, I can tell you - so soft and flowing - like an ocean of light. Waves of colored light.

I have a friend in Scotland who sees them all the time, being nearly in the arctic circle.

I wish now we could have had you on the lawn too.

I hope that one day you see them.
