Ten Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Me
Because I am tired, and sick, and about to throw in the towel on this Internet thing for the day so I can go curl up in the papasan and write. For that is, you know, the best therapy for me. Here’s ten things you probably didn’t know about me.
1. Yes, I was a massage therapist. I was a good one, too. I stopped doing it because of insurance companies.
2. I have recently begun to play World of Warcraft. It’s all the Sullen Teenager’s fault. Monk says it’s a sign that a video game has officially taken over the world.
3. My favorite movie is Dead Poet’s Society.
4. I love the Pacific Ocean. I love it most of all when it’s cold and story up around Rialto Beach. Which is one of my favorite places in the whole wide world.
5. I talk to trees. I also talk to cats and dogs as if they are children. All three (cats, dogs, children) seem to enjoy it. The trees don’t express a preference one way or another.
6. I love rosemary.
7. I view writing as a kind of a obsession. I don’t necessarily write because I like to. I write because I must.
8. I love dark chocolate and crunchy peanut butter. Together. Mmmmh.
9. The smell of paper and dust in a bookstore makes me feel safe.
10. A plum tree in blossom once saved my life in that most ordinary of ways–by being a reminder that beauty exists even in the most sterile deserts of no hope.
There. Ten things you probably didn’t know about me. Now I have to go write. Have a wonderful weekend, Readers.

I have to admit, I love World of Warcraft. I swore when it first came out that I would never play it b/c it could only be a big waste of time. All this did was motivate my friends to hound me until I finally tried the game. I was amazed. It is so much fun and it is great to log in for a few hours a couple of times a week to just relax at home in my P.Js, but not feel anti-social. Anyway, point is, good choice of Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games!
