Festy goodness, and random acts of kindness

[delphipsmith]

Prompting is open at mini_fest! Signups are still open at sshg_giftfest!! hp_goldenage is going to have an anonymous promptfest this fall!!!

So much fun, so little time...

Borrowed from toblass and savine_snape:

After all the recent terrible tragedies that have and are happening it's time for some positivity and kindness to happen.

So, I'm going to grab the pay-it-forward idea and put a little twist on it. The first twelve people to comment will get a surprise from me at some random point during the next twelve months.

All I ask is that in your comment, you share something with me about yourself that I may not know otherwise. This might be a good opportunity for me to get to know my friends better as well.

Ooh, I can't wait to see what I learn ::rubs hands in anticipation::

Ah, this is such a lovely idea :)

Fun fact about me: I speak a totally wrong dialect compared to where I'm from (not sure why, a combination of my parents being from somewhere else and me apparently being a bit weird), so when I meet someone new the conversation always go something like this:

They: so, where are your from?
Me: [my hometown] *waits for it*
They: oh? But you don't sound like you're from there?
Me: *sighs* no, I... Blah blah.
They: wow, that's really weird!
And so it goes.

I've probably had that conversation several hundred times, so I need to remind myself that they haven't heard it before. I guess it's an ice breaker, though :)

That's really funny -- I wonder what Henry Higgins would make of you :) I've been on the East Coast for a really long time now, and when I go home to the Midwest or to see friends in Texas they all tell me I talk funny.
