Who was it who started calling these LJ quizzes memes, anyway?
Five things you wear every day:
1. hat, snood or headscarf
2. my favorite denim jacket (well, most days)
3. wedding ring
4. dangly earrings
5. long skirt
Five things you still have from when you were little:
1. A battered copy of Uncle Remus Stories
2. A slightly less battered copy of The Handwriting on the Wall
3. A hardly battered at all copy of The House at Pooh Corner
4. A photograph of my six-year-old self dressed up as Queen Esther for Purim
5. Memories
Five people you've known since high school:
1. Suri Dreyfuss
2. Tamara Beliak
3. um...
(No, I really haven't kept up with any of the people I knew in high school. Tamara and I weren't even in school together; that's just when I met her.)
Five things on your computer desk, other than your computer:
1. Piles of CDs
2. A cool-as-hell thingy called PageUp, for holding papers upright so you can read them while typing
3. A bronze bell and a little hammer for striking it
