Monitor Me

Last year I "met" Jamie during NaBloPoMo, so it's a weird coincidence that NaBloPoMo is right around the corner and here we are again. I'll be participating in BOTH NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo this year, so you can officially call me insane... especially since I still have no idea what I'm going to write this so-called novel about, and the competition starts tomorrow. And tomorrow I'll be going to the University all day to write tests for the government, which means I'll be starting the novel a whole day later than everyone else. Perhaps I have reached beyond insanity into moronity.

So, let's change the subject. Here's the rules for the taggery:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

SIX RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME

1) I have at least four Star Wars related things in my office right now. I have an Emperor Palpatine pez dispenser, pezless. A Jabba the Hut beanie baby, beanless. A small R2 and C3p0. And, my personal favorite, this "poster" postcard-sized and framed.

2) A grand total of fifteen of my poems are floating around Canada, and I'm waiting to hear back from editors to see if they'll accept them for publication.

3) I have two moles on my arm that look like they could be the puncture marks from a snake bite. They have just the right amount of distance and they're angled at just the right way to look like it. Sometimes I wonder if this is some psychic scar from a former life as a rattlesnake farmer.

4) The economic crisis does not worry me. Since I moved out of my parents' house, I have never once made enough money to live above the poverty line, and despite this I feel like I've had a pretty good life thus far.

5) I enjoy playing video games a lot more when I'm doing it as a break from work or work-related activities. During this last month of unemployment, I've been feeling pretty "meh" about playing anything.

6) This month, Kaz and I have been really diligent about not eating out, and I tried a new soup recipe and it actually turned out. It tasted really good, but it was a very heavy creamy soup and I'm not sure whether I should make it again because it was probably more fattening than most things we would eat at a restaurant anyway.

TAG SIX OTHER PEOPLE

1) Suz.
2) Binary Kitten.
3) Becky.
4) T.
5) The Ms. S.
6) cenobyte.

You know the way I roll, though. If you want to play along, you should do it. If you don't, that's cool too.
