rondaview: 10 random things, facts, goals, or habits about yourself.
1. When I'm sitting at a computer and not sure what to write, I have a habit of drumming my fingers on the keys (it's actually a rather soothing noise).
2. I like small spaces as long as they're not completely enclosed; for instance, if the world is too noisy I'll go sit under a desk or in a corner (especially in the middle of an aisle of books in a library or bookstore) and read or write there.
3. I do not have a personal goal greater than the ability to make a living as a writer. There are big world goals (curing cancer, ending poverty, etc.) that are more important to me, but on a personal scale, there is nothing that will ever make me feel so vindicated as knowing that I have turned my passion into a paying career.
4. I alphabetize my bookshelves by last name of author and have been doing so since the fourth grade. I have considerably more books (and shelves) now.
5. I don't particularly want to be an astronaut, nor do I think I'm fit to be one, but I've always wanted to go to the moon for the chance of looking down and seeing Earth from such an immensely different perspective.
6. Sometimes if I look at asphalt for too long it feels like the blackness of it washes out and the contrast with the sky becomes really interesting, especially on an overcast day.
7. I'm secrety afraid that I have no real life experience and therefore nothing to write about.
8. I have yet to feel absolutely comfortable (and not ridiculous) while dancing.
9. I absolutely love the anime art style and wish that I could draw like that. Really, I wish I could draw, period. But anime and manga art is just so intensely awesome for me.
10. The most attractive quality a person can have is enthusiastic ambition in whatever field they've chosen. I'm drawn to people who are trying to be the best, but not because they feel some need to beat others -- simply because they feel an inward drive to be the best kind of person they know how.
...and now I really have to do homework.
