More Good News
As an added bonus to all the good news yesterday, I realized I still hadn’t created a blog for the award Rocket Scientist gave me: The Honest Scrap Award.
And since the main requirement is that I tell ten true things about myself, and, in addition, I simply love to talk about myself (just ask my students), here are ten things:
1. I am a vegetarian pacifist. I don’t eat animals, and I do my best not to kill anything (except spiders inside my house).
2. If meat tasted like bread, I would never have become a vegetarian.
3. The quickest way to my heart is to give me a back rub.
4. I dislike cooking, yet I cook every meal, every day, with perhaps one weekly exception.
5. I dislike cleaning, but I hate a messy house more. So I clean. And clean. And clean.
6. I am one of 500 quarterfinalists for the 2009 Amazon.com Breakthrough Novel Contest! Hurray!
7. I am a stay-at-home mom who really isn’t suited to take care of little children (that’s why I teach college). Ignoring that tendency, I also watch an additional child in my home (and he’s very cute, even if he isn’t 18 yet).
8. My ideal magic item from the Harry Potter series is Hermione Granger’s Time-turner. Oh, if only it worked, I’d use it every day. I never have enough time, and I resent having to waste a third of the day sleeping.
9. I am positively beastly when I don’t get enough sleep.
10. I love magic. I love anything involving some sort of departure from reality, from ghost stories to psychics, Tarot cards to Harry Potter, spirituality to fairies. The easiest way to bore me is with reality.
There it is. Now I’m bored, since all of that was true. I’m going to throw myself into a book to get my equilibrium back!
