Awwww. *hugs* All my friends are short Ravenclaws! LOL. And glad I wasn't the only confused about the creative idea question.

Yeah that was strange. And I sadly don’t have one thing that can spark my creativity so... but it was just a weirdly worded question.

And YAY for short Ravenclaws! We can’t reach the top shelf, but we’re still awesome.

scribblesofel replied to your post “What word or expression always makes you cringe when you read it?”

oh lord I know I'm -so- guilty of this one too and I've been doing my best to cut down on it. There are times where I'm sitting there sweating going "It feels like I need it here though but I DON'T WANT TO USE IT"

Oh I know the feeling. There are times when I want to use it too, but I look at it like I look at “to be” verbs and passive voice. Is this the best option?

If the answer is yes, use it. But if you think you can do better. Then try. And if it doesn’t work ... Then at least you know that you are aware of the use and it’s not slipping under your radar.

Go to work and if you throw up just do it all over the floor and say that you had no choice but to come to work feeling this way (In all seriousness though I hope you feel better in time to be able to return without getting in trouble D: )

And then at least they might be forced to clean one section of the floor. Might be worth a go.

Yeah, I am probably just going to have to suck it up and go regardless of how I feel.

11 Questions

Rules: 1. Post the rules, 2. Answer the questions given to you by the tagger, 3. Write 11 questions of your own, 4. And tag 11 people

I was tagged by @joufancyhuh. I was totally unprepared, but I have to say I love that you have a whole notebook dedicated to questions you love. I think I might have to maybe think about that as well. It certainly sounds fun and useful.

What was the best interaction you’ve ever had with a stranger? I think that was the time that I was wearing my N7 gear and walked past someone else decked out in theirs and we didn’t even say anything just kind of winked and gave one another one of those ... “yeah, you rock” kind of knowing nods/glances and went about our business. Can’t for the life of me remember why there was no fangirling in that moment, but there was a reason we didn’t scream and coo over one another’s gear.

Do you have the same religious beliefs that you had as a child? If so, why? Is not, how and why did they change? No. I was very religious as a child. Quite a devout baptist. For me, that shift came when as I saw/see it the God I loved so much allowed something despicable to happen in his own house. I just ... that shifted my views on things, slowly but surely. And each time my life has spun out of control, I find I have less and less faith in some higher being with some grand plan.

What would your perfect room look like? Oh gosh. My perfect room would be a suite with its own bathroom. The bathroom would have a huge garden tub that I could stretch my legs out in and it would have a really high overflow valve so that I could just fill it wicked deep (jets would be optional). I’d love to have a TV in the bathroom as well, to facilitate long, luxurious baths. I’d also like it to have a large-ish shower area, nice deep sink with counter space (and cabinet space), and my own potty that I don’t have to share with a dozen people. The bedroom would have a king sized bed with a really nice mattress. There would be a cushy headboard that I could comfortably recline against if I chose. Tall nightstands with enough drawers for me to organize my socks. A nice tall dresser with space for my stuff. I’d have a big fluffy chair with an ottoman near a window for reading and sewing and learning to knit. I’d also like there to be a desk, preferably with a Mac--I like the Mac version of scrivener better than the windows version and that computer would be for writing alone. I’d love to have a sound system in there to. But I’d love that ... sitting room area to be wholly separate from the bedroom, perhaps with its own door, even. I’d love to line it with floor to ceiling bookshelves as well, where I could keep my books and such.  *SIGH*

A book you love and one you didn’t. Well the first two that flew into my mind are both by Austen. I adore Persuasion but hate Emma.

What three events made the biggest impact on who you are today? My divorce. Becoming a single mom (the first time). 

What was the weirdest habit you had as a child? I can really only come up with the way I sucked my thumb for a very long time.

What’s something you’ve been meaning to try but haven’t gotten around to yet? Hmmm. Honestly, I’m not even sure what I could answer for this. I’ve always wanted to skydive. But truth be told I don’t think they make a parachute to keep this big ass badger from plummeting to the ground like a rock, well, boulder (yes, that’s a nice boulder--in best Donkey impression).

What’s something special about the place you grew up? The ambiance of New Orleans is wholly unique. There’s something about that place that I still can barely put my finger on. There is a pulse in that city that’s different than any of the ones I’ve lived in--I impart it to the vibrancy of art that is available more freely there, from music to painting and drawing to the food. Art is a part of that place and it’s right there on the surface easy to find. You don’t have to search for it there like you do in some other places.

As the last human left on earth, what would you do? Be bored as fuck!!!

What do you use your post-it notes for? Oh Shit! Notes, reminders, keeping addresses tacked to my monitors, I also use them for keeping taglists handy for little used blogs, special characters that I often use, and my horde toons’ names, I have character prompts I want to write, ideas, flags in notebooks, I use them as marginalia, I keep extras in my notebooks in case I want to make a note that will need to go into a different notebook. I have and do use them for outlining stories. To leave notes for my kids ... I know leaving them on the monitor is the only way they will actually read it.

What’s your favorite quote? Oh ... um... Fuck! I don’t have a single favorite quote. I mean I’ve found a lot of them that I have liked, truly. But never a favorite single one. I went looking for one and this is the first one that struck my fancy. “Nobody is perfect. Everyone has their own little idiosyncrasies. Some people call those imperfections, but no, that’s the good stuff.” ~Robin Williams

Now, it is my turn. Do not be surprised that these are nowhere near as thought provoking as @joufancyhuh‘s. I’m not that shiny or that inspired this morning.

What is a song that you have completely memorized?

What amazing thing did you do that no one was around to see?

What do you wish you knew more about?

What is your claim to “fame”?

What is the most annoying thing people say to you?

Do you know a limerick that does not involve a man from Nantucket?

If you didn’t need to sleep, what would you do with that extra time?

When was the last time you climbed a tree?

What do you wish your brain was better at doing?

Which of your scars has the best story behind it?

What is the title of this chapter in your life story?

I’m going to tag ... @ofmanynames, @inuy21, @foofyschmoofer, @thesecondsealwrites, @block-of-writers, @vorchagirl, @heartsnbruises, @scribblesofel, @schizoid-freak, @scientistsalarian, @punwolf, and @twistedsinews (Yes, I know it says 11, but I couldn’t stop there. :P)

scribblesofel replied to your post: scribblesofel replied to your post: ...

Yeah I had gall bladder attacks for a long time (eventually had to get it removed) and what you described sounded familiar: Feels like a really horrible period cramp, hard to breathe, can’t get comfortable sitting, standing, or lying down, etc. It usually would hit me after having eaten something high in fat (pizza with a lot of cheese or something similar) or pork. Those are the big triggers that can set one off.

... well now that you’ve said it, we actually did have pizza for dinner today, tho I’ve obviously had pizza before and haven’t had an attack like that happen. Could’ve been the brand or my body just decided to be an asshole today. “Is it cramps? Is it one of your organs? ~WHO KNOWS~.”

[shackestyx]

scribblesofel replied to your post: scribblesofel replied to your post: ...

That’s good that it’s better now. The way you described it sounded a bit like a gall bladder attack but those are usually focused on the right side, kinda near the lower part of the right side of the rib cage.

yeah, before they started driving me to the doctor, my mom was looking up symptoms on her phone and she mentioned the gall bladder, pancreas, other possible things like that. It also could’ve just been a really bad period attack, tho my cramping usually is never that bad.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*blanket*

Appreciated. I celebrated with random tv shows and some fic. It was a nice change from perpetually feeling like I had to write. So, that’s a bit of a nice change. Now I’m feeling a little more engaged with the story, like I want to finish it rather than I have to do this by this moment. So that’s nice.

Congrats!! ^-^

Oh, thank you so much. I’m like dancing in my chair. I mean I know I’m not done. But it’s nice to have hit my goal for the month.

Good job! I'm at 42k right now and on a roll!

Go! You’ve got this you’re right there. Wishing you all the success.

scribblesofel replied to your photo “Finally!!! Now I can relax a little more. Mind you I’m only maybe...”

Congrats! :D And five days ahead of time, awesome job!

Whew! I wasn’t going to have a lot of time this week to write, so I’m really glad that I got it done today. I work every day until the 30th and I didn’t think I was going to be able to get through it all. So, I’m glad I buckled down and made myself finish it today.

scribblesofel replied to your post “People have started the Christmas nonsense already and I’m sitting...”

I believe in you! Go go go!

I did, I did, I did. I’m just pleased to have done it again. The last few times I’ve tried it, it has been hit or miss and that really worried me. I had last year where I just gave up looming in the back of my head the whole time and lately I had started thinking ... what am I going to do if I screw this up horribly. If I get this close and just give up ... So I made sure that at least I kept on trying. That’s the only part of it I could control. I keep trying and maybe ... but I got lucky. I kind of finally hit a stride and it all fell into place.

scribblesofel replied to your post “All I can think right now is that I could very well lose my job...”

oh no D:

I had time to cover today, but I don’t have it for tomorrow and if I can’t find some way to calm my stomach I’m going to get a wonderful little absence write up, because that’s just the way it goes.

[shackestyx]

scribblesofel replied to your post: well then. nearly had my first ever visit to an...

Oh no D: Was the pain on one side in particular? Right or left?

no, both sides hurt about the same. the lower back and upper abdomen areas just hurt in general and I’m pretty sure it felt like cramping.

but the pain is thankfully still gone, so I’m good atm. Not sure what set it off really. :V
