What brought you to Xanga? What made you stay?

What does your handwriting look like?

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!
How different is your blogging persona from your actual personality?

The differences are pretty minor, I think. I don't deliberately disguise my personality on the blog, or express opinions I don't really hold. Scriveling the Blogger is a lot more articulate than Becca In Real Life, sin…

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
What little things make you happy?

A new book by a favorite author. Discovering an author I like, then learning that she has a long backlist. Rainy days. Days that are unseasonably cool in otherwise hot seasons. My cat chasing a ball. Purring cats. …
In what ways are you similar to your mother?

I look just like her, for a start. A friend of my parents once stopped by the house, up in Colorado when we were spending the whole summer there, and remarked to them that they could never disown me; I look too much lik…
