After seeing the following on a few blogs, I thought I'd post it here and hopefully get to know the few of you better:
1. Who are you?
2. Have we ever met?
3. Give me yourself a nickname and explain why you picked it. (I'm not a huge fan of nicknames for myself, as people created mean ones for me when I was younger, and I adore my given name. But I'm intrigued by other people's nicknames.)
4. Describe me in one word.
5. What reminds you of me?
6. If you could give me anything, what would it be?
7. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
8. Are you going to put this on your weblog and see what i say about you?
9. What do you love?
10. What makes you come back here?
1. Translated into English, "She who is close to my heart". Really, no bootlicking.
2. Unfortunately not.
3. mademoiselle a.? [*pout* the fun was with giving you a nice nick]
4. Glib [as spitteth out my dictionary].
5. The Bahai shrine in Haifa, Hawaii, cerebral rants, Persian food [sorry, don't mean to reduce you to chicken kebab], brainy scribbles.
6. I would invite you to come with me to Israel and see the Shrine.
7. No. The maxillary screws are loose enough.
8. I have put this last week.
9. When life is good & shtripes!
10. You for who you are.
1. R>S>dream happysoul
2. yes , in the bayou...
3. "gloria", because everytime i say my name, people think i am saying gloria, so i just accept it and let them call me that...it's usually not worth correcting them.

5. hmmm, books and womens cycles.
6. blue popcorn, green eggs and ham, paisly park, a good laugh, a new york bagel, a trip back in time...

10. i like to keep up with you and although you are miles away, i feel like i am in touch with your everyday life... you write so well, and it's so interesting to hear your daily thoughts, dillemas, etc...
ps, by the way, it's 3:30 in the morning, so if there are some crazy mispellings and answers, i apologize in advance. === don't know why i am on here at this late hour, but i am... that shows my loyalty to your blog... i just can't stay away... :)
