Making Friends -- a chance to get to know you all!

I was thinking today about how so many of you follow this blog now, and how many hits the blog gets - its growth has been amazing to me. But even with you regular commenters, I know so little about you!

I'd love to know more about you all! So, if you have the time, please answer these three questions in the comments.

1. What work do you do?


2. What are your hopes and dreams?


3. What makes you smile?


I'm excited to hear from you all!

    Hello!

    I work in publishing. Not that exciting, it's academic and mostly over my head.

    To be happy. Yeah cheesy but there you go. Oh and to one day own a chocolate labrador named Blue.

    Anything slapstick. I am easily amused. And someone making me a cup of tea I didn't ask for.

    Hey Kid!

    1. What work do you do?

    By day, I'm an assistant purchaser and blog editor for a cabinet company. By night I'm a struggling poet trying to get my book on silent film published. You can get a feel for it at my blog, Silent Stanzas:

    2. What are your hopes and dreams?

    Being published. Finding my way to the sweet spot of life. Having a bathtub that doesn't drip.


    3. What makes you smile?

    Buster Keaton movies, always. Photos of Clara Bow. Velvet the Wonder Cat. Happy children. Knowing each day is a fresh new start.

    Glad to meet you!
    Jen ^_^

    Hello other kid blog fans!

    I work in Financial Services for a business bank. International wires, opening accounts, folowing federal regulations, that sort of thing. On my own, the work I do is writing. I write poems, short stories, work on character development and scene description.

    Hopes and dreams are my life! I dream of being a full time writer, of living somewhere in a big city with friends who understand and suppport what I do, I dream of a world where my being in it makes a difference. I hope to live a life that is full of experiences and not things. "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."

    This blog makes me smile. It's funny in the way 'Frasier' is funny. Creative genius.

    Other smiles I get are from little things I notice. An old lady gathering her mail, a bird flying parallel to a landing plane, the way the snow falls on my eyelashes, a song that pops up on my Ipod the describes how I'm feeling at that moment, a flower in the middle of a sidewalk.

    1. What work do you do?
    At the moment I am unemployed, but am hoping to start work as a production assistant in a small documentary production company in March.

    2. What are your hopes and dreams?
    I want to work and tell stories (in any shape or form) and learn about the world, see as much as possible! The idea is that when I am on my deathbed, I will be able to leave this Earth knowing that I have really LIVED my life.

    3. What makes you smile?
    So many things! Too many things! Small kids, chocolate, music, family, friends, animals, creepy people (then it's the awkward smile as I try to escape...) etc. etc.

    1. I'm a freshman in High School, and I have a job at my grandparent's store as a gunsmith.

    2. My dream is to be a musician, and to be as influential on people as the other greats - Led Zeppelin, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, etc.

    3. I smile at lots of things - my friends reminding me why they're my friends, listening to something new, and of course - seeing a great film!

    1. What work do you do?
    I'm a student/journalism major. Also a film nerd who finds your voice unique enough to stand out in the mass amount of film writing that spreads throughout the web everyday. I don't comment but I've been following the blog for a long time.


    2. What are your hopes and dreams?
    Want to be a journalist (hopefully one that gets to write/talk about film). That is of course if there still is film critics/criticism by the time I graduate...


    3. What makes you smile?
    The conversation that happens after walking out of a movie theater.

    1) actor, writer, photographer, professional spaz.

    2) to change the world for the better by being an active participant in its growth and health.

    3) what DOESN'T make me smile - dark humor, wet babies, blowing bubbles, chocolate croissants, kind sarcasm, picnics, traveling, the city, the country, Star Wars... (I could go on and on)
