Shiny bits for a February day.

This is one of those days that calls to mind the opening line of Clive Barker's classic The Thief of Time: "The great gray beast February had eaten Harvey Swick alive." February is a monster, and we're all being digested. In an effort to slow the process, here are a few interesting things from my link file

Regarding warning signs... see userpic. (That was considered the height of intellectual humor among my fellow overachieving seventh-graders, back in the Pleistocene.)

Ha!

You double-majored in folklore/mythology and herpetology. Damn, woman! You are so many kinds of awesome. I was double majoring in zoloogy and history at Michigan State before I had to leave for financial reasons and people are always like, "Why would you major in zoology and history?" Because that's what I'm interested in, so why the hell not? As much as I enjoy blowing people's minds with my refusal to conform to the categories they want to shove me into, it really starts to wear on the nerves after a while, know what I mean? I have the wheels in motion to finish up my BA in history (the animal end of things is more than taken care of in other ways), and I fully intend to go to England for my MA in history.

The failed warning signs are love. Thanks for sharing.

Can you be anymore awesome? CAN YOU? Probably and that would be okay. Okay okay I am fangirling, so what. LOL. Great article and dang it, you are awesome. Srsly.

I am one of those who was way into Mira Grant before trying out your UF and yup, I loved Incryptid. :)

I still want more Grant though... LOL!

Patience, patience, I know...

Good luck with the Hugos!
