The tag is from Thivia. I am to list five things that most people don't know about me.
The nausea , I believe, is from the stomach flu or perhaps arising from something that I ate.
The shame is a result of the realization that I haven't yet linked this:
Reconstruction: Why We Blog
Why We Blog is the work of Thivia and many others , and it examines...well, the reasons people blog. Duh.
A number of bloggers were consulted as well. This was my humble offering.
-----------------------------------------
So. The tagging thing.
Five things most people don't know about me:
#1: I am six minutes older than my twin brother.
#2: I once sold a comic story for real money. It was about vampires, a subject that bores me to undeath. It was a long story...here are some pictures.
The title, Destiny Angel, didn't scan very well- in several meanings of the word ...it was a female vampire character created by the publisher, who really wanted to publish a book about female vampires.
His character's background?
She is a female vampire- surely you can come up with one hundred pages based on that, said the publisher.
For a grand? No problem.
The cover title is in red foil print, a common comics-industry 'collector's item' ploy. What it really meant is that a crappy comic that should have cost a buck or two actually cost $4.50 !
In 1996 dollars!
It was awful. Even the fine print sucked. My publisher couldn't spell and was too proud to let me proof-read his copy. "Concent", anyone? Sheesh...
#3: If I am lost, someone will inevitably ask me for directions.
#4: I don't perform routine maintenance on my equipment as often as I should.
#5 : My next-door neighbor is plotting to kill me. She is going to drop a flowerpot on my head as I walk underneath her porch on the way to my car.

If I were you I would seriously look into getting a hardhat.
I got tagged but it was for 10 things and I did it on my MySpace blog.
You should kill her first. You have to. Self-preservation and all.
I say you go upstairs, push all the pots down... and then go upstairs and bitch how you were almost killed when some crazy person started pushing the pots down (it would be honest!)
getting a comic book published puts you ahead of 99.999% of the humans on this planet. very impressive.
dude- that was truly hysterical! i love the neighbour-murder-plot thing... i would love to drop flower pots on a couple of mine!
as for the comic- i am jealous! i like it, i like vampires too... did you do the artwork as well as the writing?
How cute are those baby pix????? just show those to your neighbour and her heart will melt like ice...murder plot avoided! E.
Whim- I have a Miami Dolphins football helmet but people think I'm Ricky Williams when I wear it.
What is this 'myspace?' I hear a lot about it.
JP- I have fantasies about her that don't involve murder. Yet.
CM- No, it wouldn't be honest. How could I push the pots onto my own
head? I need a lasso - then I could pull them down...
Angel- No, I just do words and sounds. No pics. I like dragons too.
Ruby- Thanks. I've actually had a half-dozen or so published, some under a fake name.I don't think it puts me ahead of anyone though. Behind, maybe.
E- She is a cutie-pie. I should try that.(After I drop a flowerpot on her boyfriend.)
All I can say is pictures are a good thing - #4 - if it didn't show sound equipment, I would have thought you could be referring to other equipment. =)
love the pic of the plants lol. couple of them look like they're going over any day now.
