So.

I like to ask people random and delicious questions. I think little details like, "What's your favorite smell?" reveal more than the person who answers realizes, or perhaps they know the totality of what they are sharing and it's all a plot and maybe that's even better, who knows?

Anyway. I fired this one off to a friend the other day and I think it is blogworthy. I asked her, "What is the best thing about being you?" I wanted to know--of all the things that go into being the person (you) are--what do (you) enjoy the most.

I will not share her answer, that would be rude. However, she fired the question back at me like an inquisitive boomerang (oh my God--that would be a fabulous band name) and I would like to share my own answer, which was this:

I think the best thing about being me is that I have a certain fearlessness when it comes to people. I have been hurt and backstabbed so many times that I know I can handle it, I can survive it. I dont like it, but it wont destroy me, so I am free to take a chance on people, and its led me to relationships of all kindsfriend, love, familywith some wonderful people who have opened up new worlds to me. There may be other things of course that I like and dont like about being me, but right now anyway, this is what I am enjoying most about being me.

So now, my tasty chums and chummetts and chumasauruses... tell me, what's your favorite thing about being you? EXPOSE yourselves to me, my darling misfits.
