5 Things

Five Things About Me Even Though NOBODY ASKED:

1. I was just told to watch my language.

2. I would get a Pinterest account (oh, I mean, "ask for an invite") but it would just be everything on the Bloggess's Pinterest.

3. When I really want to relax and waste time, I look up wallpapers. Currently it's this:

But I'm looking for something new. Preferably with a cat. Or a scene of apocalyptic destruction.

4. Whenever somebody says that something is missing and maybe someone stole it, I automatically go into freak out mode and wonder if I stole it even though I know I didn't, and I've never even shoplifted anything in my entire life.

5. I pulled a giant swollen tick off a dog today, then found more ticks and pulled them off, then got grossed out and had to leave (it wasn't my dog).

Bonus Thing! My friend just lent me her brand new season one Blu-Ray of Game of Thrones, and I'm about to have a GoT marathon. WINTER IS COMING, SUCKAS.

*I just changed "bitches" to "suckas" because someone just told me again that I should watch my language. I'm about to get pissed off, bitches. Really motherfuckin' angry, you know what I mean?

a career that is almost entirely out of your control--a series of petty humiliations and ongoing miseries that one endures for the sake of those rare and perfect moments of transcendence, when one crosses over into another world, another body, another story than one's own.

Dear lord, does this ever sum up the experience of being a writer. For me, at least.

This quote is from Le R's review of an HP Lovecraft play currently in NYC. I'm quite sad as the odds of the play reaching Detroit (or me going to NYC) are slim to none.

My piece from last week's Prediction: Warble. In which I wonder at the origins of song, and dig at an answer.
