Well...davidd, pastilla, and zannah all did it, and all managed to retain their dignity. I know that, about a year ago, I posted an entry titled (something along the lines of) "The Last Xanga Quiz I Will Ever Post In My LiveJournal. Ever.". However, this is a LiveJournal quiz. With that very lame loophole, here goes.

I'm very late, again.

( here be pointless narcissistic ramblings in which I detail my many insignificant idiosyncracies )

random, narcissism

I found some surprises on your list. Like that bit about not recognizing sarcasm. This from a die-hard fan of HHGTTG and Jon Stewart's show? Uhm... I'm not buying it.

I am so in tune with #18, the dislike for large stores. I, too, either become extremely cranky, or lapse into a "doll-like stare" in such places.

Tough call on the Chicken Soup thing. Personally I despise the entire series, because reading them makes me feel guilty for not being a blind quadraplegic with a cleft palate and bone cancer who works tirelessly to cheer up those less fortunate. But Mom-of-905 has a point: published work credit... from second grade work, no less.

Of course, you already have a published work... a real book, no less, with your name on the cover! Will the Chicken Soup thing really help that much with scholarships? What if the scholarship committee has a low pablum tolerance?

Perhaps more importantly, are you comfortable with it? Would it bother you to have your work published in a series you don't find particularly worthwhile? Or does it ( ... )

Re: 6 x 8 or 9: Gar, you're right! All my geek cred just flew out the window! I need to read the Trilogy again.

The low pablum tolerance is a good thing to consider. I think that The Spelling Bee And Me has enough pablum in just one page to make Doris Day vomit...but that's just me.

But then, the Chicken Soup thing could come in handy to an extent, provided the scholarship committee is made up of the type of people who actually read Chicken Soup For The Soul. And it will make Mom very happy, and if I do it she might take me to a show in November that I'm really looking forward to, and chances are good that if I don't, she will refuse to take me to any shows until she forgets about it ( ... )
