Now it's your turn

[rikibeth]

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. 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 actually knew that about the proms, because the pictures were on your mother's fridge for about forever, and you told me the story. :)

I enjoyed the dressing up much more than I enjoyed the actual prom, too. I knew what I really wanted, though, because I went to my first Regency Ball at Boskone when I was fourteen. I wore a nightgown, but it was a really APPROPRIATE nightgown -- white with pink flowers, scoop neck, little puff cap sleeves, right waistline, narrow skirt, little flounce at the hem, and I wore it with pink ballet slippers and white gloves. The longways set dances were *so* much more romantic than what passed for dancing in the 1980s.

Of course, now that I'm doing Colonial dance, I'm halfway considering making myself a suit of gentleman's clothes, because 1) we're always over-supplied with ladies in the troupe and 2) I could ditch the stays.

Maybe next year.
