I KNOW IT ISN'T MARCH YET - shut up. I wanted to do it today.
So, this is a chance for everyone who is alive to let us know about it. Also a fun "get to know you" experience. I thought this might be a little too cheesy for LitReactor, but then I realized that writers love to talk about themselves. So it seemed fine.
This is simple. Answer the following questions, thus letting us know you are alive. Lurkers - this is fun for you too! You can just answer the questions and then go back to lurking. No awkward conversation - unless you want one.

I had to google Fritos, but I'm sure I'd love the burrito ones.
We don't celebrate St. Patrick's here, we've got a procession in my town though following the mummified head of St. Ponziano protomartyr. Well that head is not green, it's brown/blackish and little. I like that.

Blessed are those with a voice." or alternately, "If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason."
What do you believe is the greatest unsolved mystery of all? The origin of consciousness
What is your first memory about reading? I tried writing my first story when I was three or so. I remember sitting down with a pencil and a piece of paper, and squiggling out several lines in what I thought writing was: the motion of scribbling on paper in horizontal lines. I even knew it went from left to right. But when I tried to read it, clearly I had done something wrong because it didn't mean anything to me. It was just some squiggly scribbles... it took me a couple tries before I realized that I couldn't read the story I had written, because I hadn't learned to read yet. So I went to go find an adult to read this story to me, so I could tell if it was good. But my parents were away, and my aunt was busy with my baby siblings and just sent me to play outside with my cousins, and being three or so, I promptly forgot about the whole thing in light of the possibility playing in some mud... To this day, I still don't know if that story was any good or not; I suspect I used too many adverbs.

Is it March yet? Stupid feb 29th, so awkward.
Well who knows some lucky young litreactor gent may get proposed to today. It is tradition on Leap Year for a girl to propose to a guy.
Good luck.
How many people can I propose to, and does it matter if I am already married?
Online marriages don't count.
Well, if you're Mormon no. Apparently within the polygamist branch of that it is already the women who propose to their husbands, even though he is the one with multiple wives. Alien, you are correct sir. You can propose to whoever you want....but I am afraid polygamy is illegal.
@averydoll: Michigan avoided thundersnow and an ice storm, narrowly, for which I'm thankful because I had to travel to Lansing for a SSDI hearing (client's, not mine). I was checking the weather last night/this morning - you guys and Tenn. got some f*cked up storm systems.
More about scary tornado?
(glad it went by and didn't stop to visit)
Alien, Laurance and I (we can speak for each other, obviously) are offended by your offensive marriage bashing. Our marriage is as legitimate as that woman's who married that roller coaster. BUILT ON LOVE AND LOLCATS!
Doin it for the lulz babe. hahaha, If I remember right, that sort of thing is legal in Canada isn't it? Some guy in Manitoba has like 40 wives or something. I think I would be down with it, as long as there were no other dudes involved.
