I've been bored around dA lately, so I decided to start a meme :lol:

I see those long Q&A lists floating around all the time, and they're boring. They all ask roughly the same questions over and over, so I don't tend to do many. But it got me thinking - how I can spice up a tired meme? What's another way to learn about a person? And this is the solution I found.

You can tell a lot about a person by what they write, but there are lots of other ways to get an idea of who they are. What they wear; what they read; what their room looks like; what posters they hang on their walls; what they keep in their bedside drawer. If you're like me, bored with answering the same questions, then feel free to jump in and show your watchers who you are in a different way :D

1. Post a selfie.

Yeah, this is still a pretty standard one, but it's nice to put a face to the words :P

2. Post a photo of your bed.

Your sleeping area says a surprising amount. For instance, mine says I don't like to make the bed :lol:

3. Post a photo of your bookshelf.

What you read will tell an observer TONS of information. This is only one of my bookshelves, but it was the more photogenic one :XD:

4. Post a photo of one of your more unusual possessions.

I honestly don't remember where I got this, but I've had it for years.

5. Post a photo of a favorite accessory you love to wear.

What you wear may be seen as a superficial way to look at someone, but it can still tell you a lot at a glance :) There is a difference between judging and observing.

6. Post a photo of something you've had since childhood.

This cute little turtle is made out of seashells :D I got him at Silver Dollar City, along with two others that I gave to my friends.

7. Post a photo of your pet(s).

https://igcdn-photos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t51.2885-15/10979661_1379977862300775_1666329314_n.jpg
My cats, Flash and Stormcloud.

8. Post a photo of your neighborhood.

https://igcdn-photos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/t51.2885-15/10832285_743988985696076_1193197050_n.jpg
From back in November :)

9. Post a photo of your closet.

I couldn't get the whole thing, but you can see my array of colorful clothes and the Candy Land board game my brother bought me for some reason a couple of years ago that still has the plastic on :lol:

10. Post a photo of your shoes.

https://igcdn-photos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t51.2885-15/11191611_819171181499579_592856490_n.jpg
Shoes are another one of those things that can say a lot about someone. Mine are telling you that I hate tying them :B

There you are; 1 selfie and 9 alternate portals into a life. What are they telling you?

Tagging; anyone who wants to take part. But also;

A unique idea, indeed, but a scary thought for many political activist.  After all, where would I hide all of the skeletons that I currently have well hidden in my closet?
