1. Reply that you wish to take part, and I will pick four of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about 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 squee!

recession picked these four:



( Icon the first... )



( Icon the second... )



( Icon the third... )



( Ahhhhh, this one has its own entire LEGEND. )

Since for once I decided to play along, I suppose this means now I have to answer kythiaranos' questions:

1. What's your favorite place in the world?

Three years ago (and for most of my life), I would've said northern Georgia, in the foothills of the Appalachians. But now, I think it's my own home. Perhaps because it's the first time I've had something of my own that I could, at the same time, make become my own. Put my stamp on it.

After this one spot, though, it's still northern Georgia -- and after that, Dunotter.

2. Do you have a specific writing ritual?

Other than daydreaming? Mostly, research, and let things bubble in my head for awhile. But when it comes to the act of writing itself, when I'm ready, I just sit down and write. I have revision rituals, but none for the first draft.

3. What's one great thing about yourself that you wish more people knew?

Okay, I'm stumped. I can't think of anything, honestly; the good stuff, seems to me everyone probably already knows.

4. Who's your favorite artist?

I'll admit this one stumped me even more than #3, because I've never really had a 'favorite' artist, not the kind I'd think K means by this question -- the kind whose work catches your eye, keeps you staring for a long moment, and yet you return to stare again a year later, and again, and always see something new. (Like a favorite album that you've heard a thousand times?) Closest might be certain photographers. Jock Sturges, for his ability to capture the way light moves across skin and sand; Tina Modotti for her luminous mysteriousness; above both, I'd say Lewis Hines. Talk about using technology to create a compassionate bridge between those with nothing and those who can read, write, and afford a newspaper. I've spent hours poring over Hine's reportage-photos, wondering who those people are, whether those children survived another year of such hard labor.

5. What's your favorite food?

I don't think I could narrow it down to just one, but if I absolutely had to, I'd say fried okra. If only I got it more than once a year, le sigh.

Kife it forward.

Seem to recall the way this works is that you leave a favorite quote or poem in my journal, and I'll respond with a mini-interview that you answer in turn in your LJ. Have at it.

Do we have a BIAS, people?

( I'm just cranky recently, I suppose. )

However, I feel so much more enlightened now that I'm aware of yet another frickin' religion in the world. Anarchism! Boy. What would I do without the internet to tell me these things.
