How about a December meme?
Because all the cool kids are doing it and because it was so much fun last year to read everyone's responses, I'm going to give it a shot this year. Here we go: pick a date and give me something to yack about in a post and I will try and make it interesting or at least funny. Medicine, food, Velociraptor Island, books/TV/movies, writing, fic, WWII, Russia, IDK, first fic ever (it was tentacle porn)?
In other news, I'm done with the peds clinic, I'm roasting a goose tomorrow, and I've been writing some. I've never really realized how much writers must love their characters, all of them. I want to hug these guys and cry. Yesterday, I was writing about a half-living, half-mechanical creature named Engineer being visited by a catfish, because both of them work for a cannibalistic monster and the monster is very displeased. Writing is the worst hobby ever, other than perhaps collecting poisonous snakes in regions of the world where they don't keep the anti-venom around, seeing how these snakes don't live there. (That's a real life example.) As I write about visiting catfish, I keep thinking that with 99% probability, no one but me and maybe three other people will ever read it, and that's a poisonous attitude to have. Keep writing, self.
So anyway, December meme? I'm striking out a few days reserved for relocating from Florida to New York and settling in.
