the 366 meme, part thirty-seven: September 9-15

Sep 9: Are you a worrier? What’s something you’re worried about right now. Can you do something constructive about the situation? Often. I am working on worrying less about things I can do nothing about, though when I get in a loop it's hard.

Sep 10: Would you sign up to be a colonist on another planet if it meant you would never be able to return to earth? Not unless Earth was going to become completely uninhabitable during my lifetime.

Sep 11: Do you like having your picture taken? Why or why not? I'm extremely unphotogenic, but I like there being visual documentation of my existence, so overall I'm fine with it.

Sep 12: Do you experiment with your hairstyle often, or do you have a classic style you stick with? I've been wearing it in a braid, pinned up in a bun when I'm at work, for several years now. At some point I may cut it short again, but for now I like it.

Sep 13: What’s your favorite childhood story or fairy tale? Betsy, Tacy, and Tib, by Maud Hart Lovelace.

Sep 14: What are your Top Ten favorite books? If I have to narrow it down, and if I can't cheat and say "The Complete Works of So-and-So"....
* Rumer Godden, In This House of Brede
* Lois McMaster Bujold, The Curse of Chalion
* Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
* Maud Hart Lovelace, Emily of Deep Valley

Sep 15: Do you plan, or are you flying by the seat of your pants? Yes. I have some rough guidelines for what I want to do, but I've long since given up on any hope of following a detailed plan for anything. And these days? Screw it.
