Meme

[flwyd]

So there's a meme going around. There are 57 people who are a Friend of flwyd, many of which I don't know. So, the meme goes, post a comment and tell me something (or several things) about you I don't know.

Now, since I rarely spread a meme without my own oddness, you get extra points if you express your facts in haiku, limericks, or rhyming couplets.

(Hmm. LJ has a friendsfriends feature, but you can't get a page with the recent entries of your "friends of" section. That would be a neat thing.)

Whee! I love haiku.
Wait, does that count as a fact?
Maybe it doesn't.

(Actually, it's not
that I love haiku per se;
rather, what I like

is the challenge of
trying to express myself
within a strict form.

Mind you, not too strict,
or I'll just give up too soon,
for I'm quite lazy.

Ah, but I digress.)
Here's a fact: I hate the smell
of peaches. It took

twenty years for me
to discover that the taste
wasn't all that bad.

I hadn't even
been willing to sample one
because I assumed

they'd taste like they smelled
(or close enough, anyway),
and believe me, if

they did, they would just
about cause me to vomit.
But it seems they don't.

(I still don't like them
all that much, but at least I
don't really mind them.)
