Catching up on odds and ends

Back from my mom's (Oh sweet high-speed Internet, how I missed you so!) and we're readjusting to life back at home. Which means that for BD, she's no longer sleeping in the same bed as Momma, but in her her own crib. Which she has lodged protests about. Loudly. While either I or her daddy is rocking her. Needless to say, I've seen more of her toothless mouth open than I care to admit.

But it's coming along. And it's nice to be home. While we were at my mom's, it seemed like she changed overnight -- her face has gotten chubbier, her hair is coming in longer (Maybe that's because I got to take care of her cradle cap. Another thing she protested about. Loudly.) and she's more into what's going on around her. Which is kind of fun. She's also staying up a little longer, but seems more bored after the fun-a-palooza that was my mom, grandma, Aunt Stella and cousins Maddie and Elliott.

Anyways, I had this meme and K. answered, so I'll respond to her! If people want, they still can comment, and I'll do it for them also.

1. Tell you why I friended you.
Because you're one of my best friends and this is a good way for me to know what's going on in your life (since we're both pretty damn busy and calling is hard sometimes). It also helps that you're a great writer and I love reading your stuff.

2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc.
Way to many fandoms to list. But I think that right now, the first thing that comes to my mind is Harry Potter. Maybe it's because we talk about the Harry Potter fandom crazies a lot.

3. Tell you something I like about you.
I love the fact that we understand each other almost perfectly. We both get each other's pop culture riffs and snarky comments (those comments aren't mean, they're just well, inappropriate). It's rare that you get a friend who understands exactly where you're coming from, so I feel blessed.

4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
Whoof. Too many to talk about (and some that might get us arrested). But I think the one that sticks in my head right now is our first Halloween party, where you came dressed as Courtney Love and you were drunkenly screaming "KURT!" off our apartment balcony. The fact that you, me and Jeff were trashed before the party from tasting the punch, and my husband seemed to be flirting with you, makes the memory even funnier.

5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
What made you want to become a writer? What was the moment where you thought "Hey, I can do this"?

6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
For some reason, your Finetune pic makes me smile. I think it's because I picture you hunched over the computer, doing exactly that look.

7. In return, post this in your blog.
