As usual...link your answers to Patrick's Place!
Is it October already? Say it isn't so!!
The "Saturday Six" was delayed this week because I spent the day at the James River Writers Conference where I had the pleasure of meeting several published authors and two very special folks I'll address in one of the answers below.
Before the questions, we have two rituals for the 'Six:' first, we recognize the first person to post their responses to the previous week's question. The person with the fastest fingers last week was Jennifer of "Random Ramblings...."
The second ritual is to mention those who played for the first time last week. I do that to encourage all of you to visit their journals. There's a good chance that you might find new journals that way that you'd never visited before. Last week was the first time that Malcolm and Jodi played. Be sure to stop by their journal and say hello.
1. How many AOL J-landers have you actually met in person? Easy…none. I’ve just recently discovered this fascinating land.
2. How many photos that you have taken yourself are hanging on display in your home in a size of 8x10 or larger? (The print, not the frame!) Another easy one. None. My husband is the photographer and we have multiple pics of his framed all over the house.
3. How far do you live from your job? What is your commute time like? Has the distance prompted you to consider alternative transportation because of gas prices? Well…I did live about 6-7miles, and it took me about 20minutes with traffic going through the city (so I could stop & get my go-go juice coffee). Now I don’t know. See my recent journal entries for my job woes.
4. Take this quiz: What decade does your personality live in?
5. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #70 from Kris: What is the funniest, mostoriginal Halloween costume you've ever seen? I honestly can’t remember.
6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #71 from Courtenay: What is your favorite paragraph in a literary work? This might be a thought, or a message, or a descriptive passage which has remained in your consciousness throughout the years. Be sure to post the name of the book and author. That’s another one that’s easy. Read it again today at Webservant2003's Inspiration Online.
ROAD LESS TRAVELED
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth
Then took the other as just as fair
And havingperhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere agesand ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

1: Zero. I too am a newbie.
2: None, sigh
3: Ha I don't have job.
4: ??? You're personality hasn't found its home yet. ... but then again you've still some growing up to do, haven't you? You need to expeirience all this decade has to offer before you can determine what decade you'd feel most comfortable in. You were most likely born after the year 1984. Keep growing up, kid.
5: omg lol. This person was the cow who jumped over the moon. A foam moon was attached to the cow suit. 6: um...... Its more of a quaote than a paragraph. "No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit". -Helen Keller

I was from the 1950s - can you imagine how old I felt? Of course I was born in 1957!
