I've been memed!

Danny Hobson, an amazing artist, did it to me! http://marydanielhobson.blogspot.com/

So now I've learned a new term. Here's a definition for those like me who had not known of such a phenomenon.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=meme


Here's how to meme:

1. Post these rules before you give your facts.

2. List 8 random facts about yourself.

3. At the end of your post,choose (tag)8 people & list names & a link to their blog.

4. Leave a comment on their blog, letting them know they've been tagged.


Here are 8 random facts about me:

~ My life-long favorite book is Alice in Wonderland. Alice introduced me to the wild, unpredictable and stimulating world of the imagination. She is intuitive, courageous, resourceful, has a good sense of humor and remains curiouser and curiouser.

~ Subjects I'm most interested in are: photography, physics, poetry, daoism, & the lives of artists.

~ Books beside my bed today are:

"Ruth Bernhard: Between Art and Life" by Bay Area photographer, Margaretta K. Mitchell
"E=mc2: A Biography of the World'd Most Famous Equation" by David Bodanis, professor & author
"Great Women Detectives" by Ellery Queen, mystery writer
"The Redshifting Web" by poet/professor Arthur Sze

~ For my annual birthday walk, I usually choose Ano Nuevo Beach - immense space, solitude, rocks, waterfalls, surf scoters, complicated waves, peace.

~ Both my cats, Tallulah and Tazz, were rescued from a life on the streets. They are very accomplished. One says "please" for treats; the other drags pieces of yellow yarn behind him and acts extremely proud of his talent.

~ I enjoy being around kids - making things up - plays, dances, art books, stories....I just spent a morning with my gardener's two children (6 & 8) creating a revolving art piece we hung in my apple tree.

~ Favorite colors: clothes/red and black; art/blue and orange; garden/lavender and mixed greens; cats/black & white.

~ The "Billys"... #1 Billy Holder, my first love in 2nd grade #2 Billy, my favorite doll (only his head remains!) #3 Billy, my little second cousin, who gave me a favorite nickname - Laurleelamb.
