So a couple of weeks ago... this meme started going around, where someone posts this and you reply and they give you three topics you may or may not know something about.

[personal profile] evil_little_dog  gave me:

1. Green Men
2. Shirley Jackson
3. Cirrus Clouds

So...I'm going to give this a shot (before I leave town for a few days.)

1. This one I know a bit about... at least if I'm remembering my mythology correctly I do. Green Men are the men of the forest who both protect and torture people who enter the forest. If you come into the forest to do harm, they'll torture you, but if you come in to do no harm, they'll protect you.

2. Okay I'll fully admit... Shirley Jackson looked familiar, but I couldn't place it. SO I cheated... I googled just so I could place the name. Shirley Jackson is the author the "The Lottery". I'm sure she's written other stories... but that is the one I know her for. This story is both fantastic and creepy. If you haven't read it... do so. It's an interesting take on social mores.

3. Nope... got nothing. The clouds that mean it's going to rain? Or not rain? I was always crappy at remember which one was which.

So if you want me to give you three things... comment!
