So,

staranise and I were talking about how Twitter is and is not working for me right now and I said "I want to get back to using DW/LJ more."

"So, do that", she said, because she is smart like that.

But I seem to have gone all rusty or strange or shy or something.

So - please ask me questions or make requests/offer prompts. I can't guarantee I'll do something for each of them, but I'm pretty sure it'll get me to wrote SOMETHING.

The only caveat is, right now I don't want prompts for personal stuff. That will probably come, but I can't START there. It'd feel like trying to pound out a Christmas Newsletter. Instead, right now I'd like to try to remember how to write about Stuff and Things and Opinionate.

So, I intend to essay to essay. Help a Bear out?

(ice) skating! How did you get interested, what do you do with your skating and/or where do you do your skating, etc.

or: if that's too personal, what about those Senators? :P

Something about theatre in Canada, since I'm still all about the Slings and Arrows feels and one of the joys to me about that show is that it's a theatre culture which is in some ways universal and in others very specifically Canadian.

Cheese! Please tell me about the delicious cheese you have eaten lately.

Aged (2 years) South African farm-made Gouda (in South Africa).

* Winter weather

* Cozying up with family

* Nonviolent conflict resolution

You might also find inspiration in

allbingo or my list of Shared Worlds.

Yes! I would really love to see your thoughts about nonviolent conflict resolution.

Me, too.

Do read Desmond Tutu on this.

I was in a group chatting with him last week - he's amazing.

History. Talk to me about history: What appeals to you about it, and why you like the period/s you do.

Recommend me Canadian writers whom I have not read, because I am pretty sure there are plenty who have not crossed my horizon.

I was going to ask for book reviews, so this is a similar request.

Things to do with beans, music to get things done by, or electoral politics.

Or fennel. I have been liking fennel recently and wish to expand my repertoire.

Sadly, many of my ideas for what to do with fennel involve exposives :(

Start with just a hint in you seafood risotto.

Additional dynamite is not a good idea.

What is your favorite place in Ottawa? Or your favorite bookstore there?

Also, is there a right way to do poly? Why or why not? Are there any common elements that are absolutely essential? Tips?

+1!

With recommended reading, if you recommend it :)

You could do end of year memes, favourite xyz of 2014, and then expand on all the answers.

Yay for more activity on DW!

Have you cooked anything wonderful lately? Or anything that failed in an entertaining way?

Bears!

The love of good cheese + recomendations for local deliciousness.

I can't help on an essay, but I can certainly give you a hug. *hugs* <3

Reminisce about Age of Sail fandom and what you liked about it.

Ooh, yes please!

What do you look for in trousers?

I love this question!

Seen any good films lately?

Welcome back - we've missed you.

Just opinionate - you're good at that.
