Q: What quotes of yours would you want to be in a quotes compilation book?
* What is something that you say that your friends know sounds like a YOU-ism?
* What would you want attributed to you in a quote book? (For some reason, I am a little afraid of Scott-he-knows-who-I-mean answering this question in a public forum!)
* How would you describe life, the world, your main opinions?
* What are some of the most fun things you’ve ever said?
QUOTE YOURSELF!
Thanks! My answers are in the comments and look forward to your answers in the comments too! :)
“Life is about living.”
“You already know.”
“Intuition knows what, not why.”
“You can’t choreograph the world.”
“Happiness is … fresh fruit and sleep.”
This question seems hard! When I try to write something down, I start second-guessing it… even if it is something I say a lot! It’s nice to be able to turn to the written word for references. Sometimes the titles of my posts are phrases that I would repeat… Write Like a Map, Shoot for the moon and keep the day job, Doing can be easier than not doing, and Quantum Speech.
Here’s something un-second-guessably me:
“YAY”

Hm, for me:
“Hmm” (strokes chin thoughtfully)
“I find that intriguing/irking…”
“AWESOME!”
“Good job, dude!”
“You can do ANYTHING you set yourself to!”
And if I’m in a more dark mood:
“Cut off his head if he tries anything. Like this.”

“Okchuyeli!!!!!” (Used as if by Elochka, Lyudoyedochka, who managed to communicate with a meager 400 word vocabulary).

Hmmm…. Only two come to mind this morning.
1. When asked why, as a vegetarian, I still eat eggs”
“It’s not a chicken, it’s a choice.”
2. Just something I put in an email to a friend a couple weeks ago, at an appropriate time.
“I’m finding it harder and harder to live up to all the things that I apparently can’t live down.”

Dave, I can see you saying “Hmm.” :)
This is definitely a tone that I sense from your posts all the time: “You can do ANYTHING you set yourself to!” I think “optimist” would have to be in the top ten words used to describe you – and probably me as well!
Yulia, I’d have to hear you say it!
Scott, cool-o! The “live up to the things” quote totally sounds like from a forture cookie. Sweet! (And it looks like I had nothing to be afraid of.) :)
