My whole life is a Work-in-Progress.

tagged me with this.

Purpose: Tell us 20 things about yourself and tag 6 others to do it.

However, I think the only people that read this journal are people she already tagged! So... I'm just going to skip that part.

1. My favorite candy bar is 3 Musketeers. Unless I'm in England or Canada. Then it's Cadbury Turkish Delight.

2. I have a scar on my forehead shaped like a dragonfly that I got by bumping into a dresser when I was three. Now you can only see it when I scowl.

3. I have a tattoo on my wrist based on a Northwest Native American hummingbird design.

4. I got my tattoo from the same guy who's done all of my mom's tattoos.

5. If I had been a boy my parents would have named me Orion Thorn.

6. I've been to seven different countries, but never Canada.

7. I lived in Tennessee for 22 years and don't have a southern accent, except when I'm really angry or really drunk. Or making fun of people in Wal-Mart.

8. I taught myself to knit last summer from a book entitled, "I taught myself to knit!" It sucked. But now I knit obsessively and it's a really expensive habit.

9. I have 42 cousins on my father's side, but only 2 on my mother's.

10. I have a B.F.A. in Theatre that I regret getting. Why couldn't I have majored in something lucrative? Like nursing? Or... business?

11. I spent two and a half months in Ireland and didn't make a single Irish friend.

12. Jim Henson is my hero. I have a framed picture of him with Kermit hanging over my desk in the living room. Between my boyfriend and I we own every Muppet movie except Muppet Treasure Island (which doesn't count,) and the Great Muppet Caper, because we can't find it on DVD. One of my earliest memories is of Labyrinth.

13. I write poetry instead of journaling, and no one gets to read it but me.

14. My father still takes me to Toys R Us so we can oogle the action figure aisle.

15. My father read me comic books before I could read them to myself. The comic books he read to me: ElfQuest.

16. I've had 11 different roommates in the last 5 years.

17. We have a bookshelf in every room of our house, and only two shelves of books are my boyfriend's. I'm a total bibliophile, and I'm not allowed to go to a bookstore until I get a job. My particular guilty pleasure/weakness, other than graphic novels: Terry Pratchett.

18. My grandmother started collecting Barbie dolls on my behalf once I became to old to play with them. Pride of my collection: Earring Magic Ken. LOL.

19. I don't drink any of the major domestic beers. About as domestic as I get is Blue Moon. Which is (or was, at least) made in Memphis. My favorite beer ever is Ommegang's Witte, which is only available in upstate NY. And that makes me cry.

20. I've never eaten a hamburger. I don't eat any beef, and I only eat pork in the form of bacon when I'm really hung over and it's burned beyond recognition.

21. (For good luck!) I love fried okra with a burning fiery passion. I would like some right now, in fact.

Hooray!

I am still unemployed, which is bad because I need money, but good because I have free time pouring out of my ears. Eww.

Plans for the next few days:

Fix broken links and start scanning in pictures for the gallery section of my tripod site... DA is fine, but the lack of organization here is killing me.

Start working on my MOB and MAG submissions... hopefully. I'm having the artists block... you should see how many sketches I went through before finally making a satisfactory one for my MAX submission. *sigh*

Finish my pet WIP in Painter.

Get thumbnails started for Young Gods.

Finish plotting Anzie and complete thumbnails.

Finish knitting the sweater that's eating my soul.

HOORAY!

Support the monthlies! They love you! Why don't you ever call?

I'm back in the states... only slightly ahead of schedule. And in Virginia. Why the move? The boyfriend got a staff position at a university theatre department.

The things we do for love.

But, the high speed internet is newly installed, and I'm rarin' to go on some art. Sorta. Depending on how the job search goes, I may have ample time to do it.

Support my buddies at the MAG!  Enter this month's contest!

Not that I even for I second entertain the notion that anyone here has noticed my absence, I am absent, as I am living in Ireland. And then in England. Till December. So the odds are not in favor of there being any art posts till that time, although I will occasionally visit and post in my journal to keep my account from becoming invalid.

Okay lady.
