A Seattle Meme?

[alfreda89]

pegkerr says this Meme came from her Seattle list, so it's all kijjohnson's fault!

We all have things about our friends that make us slightly envious.

Not in a bad way, but in a "Wow! I wish I had that person's hair/eyes/money/relationship/toenails/whatever."

So tell me what about me makes you envy me... then if you feel like it, post this in your LJ and see what makes me envious of you.

I envy your bodily flexibility. I used to be that flexible, but too much desk-sitting and laziness have wreaked a major change -- and although I could still work on getting it back, I fear that the advancing years have had their effects as well.

I'm flexible?

I envy your ability to write such richly researched and lyrical scenes, especially in the Allie Books. I also envy your pool (I soooo want a pool).

And here I was just laughing at myself today about how I research.

Uh-uh...I have to make $$$ writing bucks first. Then I will confess.

You would be a wonderful Pool Princess!

I envy your writing skills, duh. Ability to create characters.

And I envy (or admire?) how you have managed to continue supporting yourself and maintaining friendships during your illness.

...and here I often feel that I have failed at all those things.

One thing I think we have in common on this -- triage in our lives. You wake up one day, and say "Screw all this, I'm going to do THIS -- "

And you do it. I had that Epiphany again this weekend. If I no longer enjoy conventions, because stress triggers LBb symptoms, I should do fewer -- or none -- and just write. Either it's my turn for the gold ring, or not.

Simple as that.

But I wish I'd thought of Odd Friday -- a very Good Thing. ;^)
