why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she/he wears mismatched socks." I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

P.S.: Trolls and wiseguys deleted on the spot.

One of my fun times is going rockhounding -- especially crystals & fossils. (The Rocky Mountains are great for this.) It's something I've enjoyed since I was a young child. We had a small fossil bed of clay in our backyard. (I still have some of those fossils.) I haven't indulged much since the grandchildren came, but about 1.5 yrs ago, on a camping vacation in Utah & northern New Mexico, I managed to finagle driving by mine tailings from an old copper-lead mine where, literally, the copper came from replacing the carbon in petrified wood. I have some delightful small pieces of cuprous galena petrified wood, which I keep by my night stand, where I admire them.

I need to do more of that. But, you know, grandchildren are so incredibly wonderful....

As a child, I wanted to be a geologist. Maybe if I had lived in the mountains, instead of only spending my holidays there, I would have. You remind me of happy rocks of my youth.

I wanted to be a geologist or a paleontologist, too. And thought a bit about archeology. All gone by high school though. Seemed like more fun than a fireman.
