I'm a long-time lurker on ditl. I'm captivated by the idea and though this is my first posted contribution, I've used ditl as a topic for a university essay in the past (in a class called Critical Theory of Everyday Life).
This post is quite image-heavy. There are no words. Let's make it a game!
10 pts if you can guess what country I'm in.
5 pts if you can then guess what city I'm in.
5 pts if you can guess my profession.
1 pt for identifying my name.
10 pts if you can guess how old the kids are (a range of 3 years).
20 pts if you can name the mode of transportation we take to work.
10 pts if you can name the two people in the portraits on the wall.
2 pts if you can identify the movie I'm watching.
2 pts if you can identify what the hair stylist is wrapping around my head.

I thought it was probably about time I posted an entry explaining my presence. Essentially, I just wanted to let people know I only have this journal to read a friend and participate in the Winnipeg group. That is all. |
