The Wildly Eclectic Me

Everyone with me now... Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I just got Nicky's passport in the mail. It only took 10 weeks. I was afraid I was gonna have to pull some strings to get it to go through in time, but nope it showed up today. It's so cuuuute and there are all kinds of pretty multicolored pictures in it. Mine is so lame in comparison. I may just have to get a new one just so I can have a pretty one too! It's so adorable that I would scan it and share it with you...if I didn't think that was breaking some serious federal laws. And Lesley doesn't break the law. no no no. Never ever!

13 Characters from my WIP: Blood and Violets Thanks for giving me the inspiration to do this one with your TT last week , Julia! I hope you don't mind my borrowing your lovely idea! I make these 3D renders of all my favorite characters. It helps me get a good grip on them in my head. 1. The Heroine! Marie Moonstone - Yes, Moonstone! I know, isn't it awful? She despises it and only introduces herself as Marie Smith. Marie has got more spunk than anyone should be entitled to. It's virtually impossible for her to get through even five minutes without getting into an argument. She hates being told what to do, and she doesn't let anyone boss her around except for her big brother. He convinced her to study Pre-Law when she'd much rather be studying theater. Her choice of careers becomes somewhat inconsequential, however, when she is kidnapped. 2. Our Hero! Alexander Farmer was born in small village near Paris in 1674. When he's still pretty young he's k...

I just had a submission returned that did not have any correspondence in it whatsoever. I am not asking for a commentary, but in the very least a photocopied form letter would have been nice. Heck, a post it note with "You suck!" written on it would have at least been something... I can only assume that this was the submission I sent to an agent who had requested a partial. I just emailed said agent after waiting six months for a reply. In the email they sent back, there was a form letter saying they weren't interested. Now that's fine. At least I got a response. Still this returned submission could have at least had a little scrap of paper saying where it had been returned from. The original letter that I included was no longer with it so it could have been any number of submissions had it not come so soon after the email. Perhaps I'm over-reacting, but I found it a bit rude.

My darling boy is set to be the next world's greatest actor. Now you may think this is just Mommy Bragging Rights, but let me just tell you this little tale. I couldn't stop laughing for a good ten minutes afterwards. Nicky's little friend, Kaida, was visiting and they were playing one of their favorite games. It involves running from one side of my living room to the other as fast as they can and screaming all the while. Ah, Infant Joy! So she somehow managed to trip and bang her little head against the wall. No, this is not why I laughed for 10 minutes. I'm not THAT evil! She was, of course, very sad so she went and climbed up into Lisha, her Mommy's, lap and got lots of cuddles and loving. Well Nicky seeing that she was sad walked over and climbed up on the couch with her and started patting Kaida to make her happy and then tried to get Lisha's attention. So I picked him up, told him she was busy,gave him a cuddle, and set him down on the floor. Nicky lo...

13 of my Favorite Blinkies So you know blinkies right? They are those silly little graphics that you put at the bottom of your signature or whatever. I absolutely adore them. I don't actually put them anywhere... I just sit and look at them. So I figured this was a good use! 1. Yes, my friends, they are!!!! 2. If you are unfamiliar with the lengths to which my Geekiness has gone, just scroll down to the next couple of posts. 3. And don't you forget it! *hugs her dragon protectors* 4. I don't! I won't! My husband does them. :D Okay, maybe if they are really bad, and he just won't... 5. Are you aware with just a little fairie dust and a happy thought you can actually fly? How can anyone go long without it? 6. And I'm scared of the dark! So you better bet I light them too! 7. *Wicked Evil Grin followed by a cute giggle* Dang it if I could just banish the giggle I would qualify for the full on evilness! 8. You can't be anyone else! You shouldn...

Now, I've always been pretty comfortable with my geekiness. I am a geek. I accept that fact. Embrace it even. But I was just looking through some old backup CDs, and I found something that if I don't acknowledge now could possibly be used as blackmail in the future. So here it goes... *Steels herself* I actually made custom .wav files for Baldur's Gate. Yes, I recorded with my own voice all the little sounds your character says throughout the game. Now it would have been bad enough to do it for one character, but I did it for two. ... *Deep breath* The second character was a bard, so every one of her files is actually a song that I sang. Okay, that's it. I've owned it! Now when Nicky stumbles across this CD when he's a teenager and tries to make me buy him a Corvette, or he releases it to the public I can tell him, "So? The whole world knows! It's on the internet!" Whew...I feel better now that I got that off my chest!
