That Girl is Random
That's me--the random poster! I am going to get better. I want to plan a new website and blog, but it's going to be a while. I have to have a direction, and right now, I am directionless.
So bear with me with the random posting.
And speaking of random, here's some random things about me:
1) I've become addicted to home design shows. That's hilarious because while I keep my house neat and fairly organized, I am so lacking in design. I like plain and simple. I actually used to be much more into home decorating, then I started writing seriously and my home is suffering. Who knows maybe all this design show watching will inspire me to paint...or something.
2) My evil son got me addicted to the TV show 24. Hubby and I completed the first season and I'll break down and buy the second season before the week is out. The show has huge gaping plot holes and yet, we're totally sucked in!
3) My sinuses/allergies are torturing me this year. Today I can barely see the computer screen.
4) I did not go to the RWA National Conference this year and I'm only mildly jealous that I'm missing out. In fact, I'm only sad about missing hanging out with my friends, otherwise I want to stay home, write and figure out exactly where I want to focus my career. While I love other authors and RWA, sometimes I'm just not prepared for the desperate energy at those events. I tend to start feeling desperate too...desperate for what? I want to be as successful as the next person, but I want to define my own success, not have someone else define it for me. All that said, I'm already planning to go next year!
5) The weirdest thing about me is probably that I don't hang onto books. Not even books I love. I give them away to other people I want to read them. I grew up doing this. I've kicked myself so many times over not keeping more books, but I hate clutter and I'm just not much of a saver, nor do I reread very often. Every other author I know has tons of books all over their homes. I have books...just not as many. Weird, huh?
Okay you're turn! Tell me some random facts! Just don't tell me what happens in Season Two of 24 no matter how much I beg!

Random facts . . .
1. I love the CSI series, all of them.
2. I can't get enough computer games. My 12 year old daughter finds them on the internet and gets me hooked so I have to buy them.
3. I have a shoe fetish.
4. I am organized to a fault at work while my home organization skills fall slightly shy of "ugh".
1. I have no desire to drive any vehicle
2. I'm a homebody - everything I need is there, computer, TV, iPod, sewing machine and fabrics.
3. I don't like clutter. If I can't see an empty book shelf, then that tells me it's time to get rid of some books.
4. I need to see space. I need to see floors and open airy spots throughout my place.
5. I'm very organized, where everything has a place and if it's out of place, I want to know who moved it so they can put it back.
6. I love to watch TV.
Oh too fun. Okay, this moment's random facts about Cele...
1) I'm boring as hell
2) I have suddenly lost my interest in General Hospital...I know go figure, I've only been sticking with sucky story lines for 40 plus years. So why now?
3) I burn out on hobbies.
4) I own only six pairs of shoes and three are identical, just in various states of older age.
5) To get my poetic voice back I either read Jane Austin or The Lord of the Rings
6) I don't listen to music....(qualifying comment) at home, too often.
7) I fear meeting my internet friends because sometimes the fantasy is better than the reality.
Ktzmom, CSI and a shoe fetish, interesting! If you work that hard at work, you should relax at home and not worry about being organized.
Dru, no driving? Really? I love your system with the bookshelf!
Cele, you are not boring! I'd love to meet you in person and I'd be more worried that you'd be disappointed, not me! That's fantastic that you know exactly what inspires your poetic voice.
