The one thing I would most like you to know about me........ And no, this isn't my entry. This is me coming to grumble and mumble and see if I can spark something a bit more interesting then ME is terrified of the most harmless creature in the world, worms. Judi, Judith HeartSong your scaring ME this month ::Grin:: I appreciate a good scare.
Is the theme for this months Judith Heartsong Artsy Essay contest.
Details found here.......October's Artsy Essay
Actually, they aren't necessarily harmless, there's tape worms, thats dangerous and crazy disgusting. Intestinal worms, those outta get people running for their nearest doctor. But honestly, I don't even really worry about those type of worms. Although, if I was told I had worms inside me, it would be an instant mental hospitalization and intravenous knock out drugs until they were gone. Awake, would not be an option. Ok enough hebbie jeebies for the morning. <shudder>
Actually, I am here to say the entire content of the question is giving me fits from hell.
I've realized it's a rather point blank personal topic.
I don't fare well under direct personal topics.
Evasive writing has it's draw backs. Ever since I read the question my mind has gone into lock down muddle through the muck, 'whatcha gonna write on this one Rebecca' mode. I wonder how others are making out with this topic. I never visit other entries until either I post one, or the contest is over. Keeps me honest, and uninfluenced that way.
The topic contains the word ME.
Me has all the potential for personal admissions. Me and I, don't usually look through the same glasses in unison. The ME in myself is mentally revolting about writing ONE thing. Although ME is singular and ONE is singular, the I in me is scattered to the four corners of human.
Yes, thats the kind of mutated thought process that goes through my mind. Welcome to the fun house. Step right up, cheap tickets.
So I've thought about it, and I've picked through all the categories of possibilities. Several of the categories of ONE and ME, are fairly easy. I don't like easy. If it's easy, well I'm bored. So, going the easy route won't happen. Maybe thats my entire problem, I seem to take warped pleasure in taking the hard route. Take a simple thing and discard all possible easy routes and walk right up to the tougher choices. I don't even want to self shrink that one~~
Tougher choices=challenge.
Challenge=Tougher choices
Tougher choices=reaching into do not enter levels
Do not enter levels=ME
I hope everyone is putting their ME to the challenge this month and joining in on the contest!

Okay, well how about this: The one thing I would most like you to know about YOU is that you are one of the most thoughtful, caring people in J-land. You have a heart of gold.
Also, my mother thinks you rock. She has fished all her life, so she's quite impressed with you.
So there you have it. At least two people think you're the bomb. Righteous.

We are in the same place hon'. I am so completely muddled. I may skip this one. ;) C. http://journals.aol.com/gdireneoe/thedailies
omg..I tried too! I came up with all these words then I thought "but it's got to be just ONE thing about me" I gave up...I'm not sure if it's possible because.... I'm everything! (did I made sense??) I hope so..
but I'm still mauling it over though...I love this kind of challenge.....it is just so.....thought provoking!
Gem :-)
Me says you are the bomb. Simple as that.
Me says so.
I got excited when I saw the topic. So, I started and stopped. Over and over again. It's more difficult than I thought. There's a message there I'm sure : )
Rebecca, I, too, am challenged by this month's theme. Don't know if I will take on the challenge, or not...we will see...

Yes, this time Judi picked a whopper of a subject. One I don't think I'm up to the challenge for. Talking about me isn't all that warm and fuzzy...lol ~Sie
I have loved worms since childhood! As a kid, I loved to take our garden shovel and dig and dig all over the garden, collecting worms for an evening of fishing. Always baited my own hooks and cleaned my own fish too! Now, spiders.....THAT is a whole other story.....:O Michelle ;o)
tapeworms on no. I remember my mom telling me if I bite my fingernails when I was little that I would grow worms in my stomach. Yuck! Don't kids catch worms if they play in a sandbox that a cat peed in. :) Did you bit into an apple with a worm in it when you were lilttle?
Derek
Ahhhh... I might just have to jump in on this one. Could be the one I've been waiting for. I'm stewing on it now.....

At first, I had a hard time with what to reveal for this month's essay. Then I realized there was one thing I've hardly ever reveal.... to anyone.
Thought it was about time my J~land friends knew, so I spilled.
Everything I was afraid to write, was accepted, as I still am.
J~Land rocks, no matter what :)
I know you don't read other essays until yours is done, but I'm sure mine will have no influence on you. It's pretty much a 'me' thing ;)
Whatever you come up with, it will be fab. I know!
Your turn.....
Cat
Good luck with the contest! Can anyone enter? ~j~
So, in summation, you want people to know zero about you??? ;-)
It looks like you found something to write in relation to the topic after all.
:-) ---Robbie
HUH?
I will give it a shot...
Put a Smile on your face and a song in your heart.
Wishing you health, happiness and laughter.

ahhhhhhhhhhh! Oh Rebecca, you cracked me up. I love the way you turn things over in your mind to see all angles, and I love the way you share the process. No, the easy way is not for you. That is a good thing.
I have been surprised at the level of difficulty that all have found here..... that is very interesting.
Keep thinking.... I would love to read your essay. Oh, and a third on "you da bomb". judi
p.s. I love worms and there is a HUGE African millipede (not a worm) at the Zoo that can walk all up and down my arm..... how do you feel about millipedes?
OHH Rebecca,, you are soo funny.. I am right there with you debating on what to write... but not because I would have to face something or dig deep and meet a scary challenge... just because my life is so simple and seems I can't think of something that has enough substance to it to write more than one small paragraph in creative detail... but I guess that in itself is a challenge and I still have two more days to get something going. I want to do this.... I will be looking forward to reading your entry, so don't back out on this!!!!!!!
Oh - I would never be able to write about this...certainly nothing worthy of Judith's contest...the winners are always so amazing...mine would be so prosaic.
Be well,
Dawn

Hi Rebecca (as I toss all worms to the side) ;-) Thanks for the reminder about Judith's essay. Blessings, Sassy
http://journals.aol.com/SassyDee50/SassysWORD
it's so much easier to take stock of the rest of the world, rather than ME http://journals.aol.com/pixiedustnme/Inmyopinion/entries/1304
Rebecca, I love the way you are open enough to share your thought processes, tossing ideas this way and that; and yet you are still so wary of "ME". <Suspicious look> What you hiding in that brain of yours? lol
