sure, I'm a sucker for memes; I'll bite. (though at least one of the questions won't apply!)

Really? Which one?

1. Because you're awesome, but most importantly, you're the first person I've met who not only hasn't advised me to stuff my feminist complaints under the rug ("because that's all over now, really" quoth the mother, for fuck's sake) but actually listened to my rants and replied intellegently. And you're always writing about something interesting - even if I don't comment, I read and get food for thought.
2. Blogs. Many blogs.
3. You are unapologetic for speaking your mind.
4. Um... Fandom rants? Not really many memories yet, but hopefully more to come! :D
5. If you are a US resident (not sure), who do you support for this election?
6. This (http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/74662508/1452552) one. I dunno who it's of, but it's got interesting composition.

Aw, thanks! It's always a pleasure to write about issues and discuss them with other people who believe these things matter, too. I've had that experience of being the only person in a given group who expresses those concerns—in retrospect, a little less often than I might have expected, but far more frequently than I can accept. The need for feminism(s) is a long, long way from over.

I meant #4; I suppose I'm still biased toward face-to-face contact with respect to memories. But I hope to provide more grist for the memory mill in future!

I am currently a U.S. resident, and for now I support Obama—although thinking about the election in general forces me to remind myself that shaking my head like a pinball or vending machine does not help, and will only lead to concussion!

The icon (by charming_syrai) depicts James Ellison (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Ellison_%28Terminator%29), FBI agent on The Sarah Connor Chronicles. He's standing in the room Sarah occupied for three years while she was institutionalized. A Christian who's not a caricature, Ellison is thoughtful, smart, and seriously underappreciated by fans despite the fact that he's been listed as a regular since the beginning. And the only major character of color on the show. Sadly, I think there's a clear link between his status as a character of color and the underwhelming fan response.
