Foolishly Inconsistent

Two things today to discuss: 

I have a few friends who've done this on Facebook, but I thought i would try it here: The handmade meme is when an individual offers to make & give/send something handmade to the first people who respond to a post. So...

I will make something and send it to the first five (5) people who respond to this post.

Assuming anyone actually wants to try this. To be clear, I'm a half-decent photographer, I make beaded jewelry and I knit. I also make good mix CDs. (The only complaint I've ever had was that I put the same song on more than one CD I made for the same person, and that stopped as soon as I started keeping better track of what I was choosing for each CD.)

The other thing is that I'm worried about posting a new fic to milady/milord because, as much as I've written shorter fics, I feel like I wrote 'There's Only One Girl In the World For You' and people would be happy if all I ever did was write sequels to that. But I have other ideas. And I suppose I'm freaked out that the Epic is the first thing I've ever written that I had a good response to, and I neither want to be pigeoh holed nor do I want to be a one-hit wonder. Mostly because I hope that at some point, I will be able to write fiction professionally.

Also, I've made some progress on my reading list.

I'm a bad, horrible person.

I slept through my alarm two days in a row and was an hour late for work yesterday and today.

And I got chewed out today about being there for specific hours and not a minute earlier or later. Worse than getting chewed out is getting slammed with Catholic mother guilt. Grr argh.

But being late is not what makes me a bad, horrible person: It's the part where I've decided, against the theoretical advice I know my bestie would give me, I am going to play head games with the coworker who chewed me out.

On the one hand, I'm a bad horrible person.

On the other hand, she votes Republican and doesn't understand that the increase in extreme cold weather is a consequence of global warming, not evidence that Al Gore was wrong.

She kind of has it coming, in the grand scheme of the universe.

In the interest of putting off going to bed and waking up to my new job tomorrow morning (well, later this morning, as it's after midnight), I thought I would make myself a list of what is in my 'To Read' pile. That's what is below the cut, so please feel free to ignore this post. It's mostly for my own sake, as I'd probably lose a list someplace else - even on my PC.

( Oh, man. So *many* words. )

If you don't like swearing, do not follow the fake-cut. (I simply have no other place to complain.)

I feel a little like that girl in "Purple Rain" because I feel like saying 'Maybe I'm just like my mother, she's never satisfied.'
