What's your motto?
Someone's always going to be unhappy with you, so you might as well prioritize being happy with yourself.
What's your middle name? Is there a story or history behind it?
Many of you already know this. My middle name is my place of conception, specifically a meadow near Lake of the Angels in the Olympic Mountains.
What's your favorite way to keep in touch? Phone, snail mail, email, text message, Vox, _____ ?
Email is still the best, although depending on communication styles IM is a close second ... with texting a near third.
Like most other nerds, I've developed a deep fear of the phone. I make my long distance friends schedule phone dates because otherwise I can't guarantee I'll want to talk to them when they call.
Funny story: once a local blogger friend confirmed a lunch date by searching google for "hey ariel meadow what time are we having lunch today?" She knew I'd see it in my referral logs (I did!) and get back to her. It was exceptionally clever.

Gmail. It's my everything.
I am totally obsessed with this song, Cherish's "Do it to it." It's not new but it was the best part of ATL, the weird gangsta/rollerskating drama (yes, drama) that I watched last night. Mostly, I'm a sucker for the chorus -- who doesn't want to do it, do it, do it, do it? -- but the whole thing is just delicious.
It sort of reminds me of En Vogue, except that the four singers are sisters (two of them twins -- how's that for a gimmick?) and the production is nastier than En Vogue usually was. Plus, Sean Paul!
Now that I've guaranteed that Anil is the only one still reading -- what do you think of the track? Do you want to pop your back to it?
What's the nerdiest thing about you?
You tell me:
- I was in 4H for many years and recommend it highly for kids
- I take my sidekick into the bathroom with me just in case I get an email or text while peeing
- I encouraged guests at my anniversary campout to join my Flickr group and use a special tag to collect all our pictures from the weekend
- I once thought to myself, "What's the one concert I wish I could go to?" And my answer to myself was "RICHARD MARX!"
Justin Timberlake's new tune is:
- Totally electro
- Sort of lacking a hook
- Deliciously gay. (As in homotastic, not as in lame.)
- Proof that JT's totally a sub bottom. I mean, come on: Dirty, babe. You see these shackles baby? I'm your slave. I'll let you whip me if I misbehave. It's just that no-one makes me feel this way.
You think your patent leather pants were bad? Check out the custom illustrated 22" cuffs of the best 1997 raver pants ever. The orange glowed under blacklight! These were made by a raver named Imri.
...is that you?
