100 things #2: Emily Starr
Apr. 23rd, 2012 10:55 am"That is true-and I do try- but it seems to me there is something beyond words-any words-all words-something that always escapes you when you try to grasp it- and yet leaves something in your hand which you wouldn’t have had if you hadn’t reached for it…. Oh, that ‘random word’- that is the Something that escapes me. I’m always listening for it- I know I can never hear it- my ear isn’t attuned to it- but I am sure I hear at times a little, faint, far-off echo of it- and it makes me feel a delight that is like pain and a despair of ever being able to translate its beauty into any words I know.”

{Take the 100 Things challenge!}
Ahem.
In case you haven't noticed, lately I've been flailing trying to find things to post about. This is what happens when A) everything that's interesting about my life takes place in my own head and so isn't that fun to blog about and B) almost no one on my flist watches the same TV I am (problems!). So I'd been wanting a little structure so that I could have some sort of steady posting schedule and so that I would actually have something to write about. This challenge seemed like a great idea, but then the panic set in because: what would I possibly have to talk about that could be broken down in 100 things?
But I've finally hit upon a topic that I think I can sustain, but one that won't require every post to be long, and one that I think people will be more interested in than not. So, I will be posting:
100 Characters Who Helped Me Construct My Identity
Which sounds kind of pretentious, no? But in actuality, it will probably just be flail about how much I love Buffy Summers or Vicky Austin or Kim Na Na or something. I don't think I'll be posting more than once every couple of days, so hopefully this thing won't take over your flist. But I wanted to warn you before I actually plunged in. Hopefully we'll all do a little but of learning and growing together through this.
