Three Things About Me

http://quont-mernac.blogspot.com/2007/11/question-of-week-17.html

Vickielysia is otherwise occupied with Wolf, no doubt sleeping off a hangover, so I shall tell you three things about myself.

1. I have an obsession with flashlights and must have one with me wherever I go. There is one in each room of my house, one in my car, one in my file cabinet at work, and a little bitty Maglite that is always in my pocket. I think this stems from being in the bathroom at a mall when I was five or six, the power went out and there was no emergency lighting -- I was one scared little kid! I WANT MY MOMMY!!!

2. I love to do pencil drawings despite the fact that I complete suck at it. I have an artist pad and a cup with several pencils, and whenever I have a spare moment and feel the urge I try to sketch something. The only identifiable drawing I have done is of an empty martini glass.

3. I enjoy writing fanfics and have two posted at fanfiction.net -- in two different genres and under two different pen names. I'll give a cookie to anyone who can identify one of the stories I've written LOL.

Toy for Quont

Yeah, I know this is a week late, but here a couple of the images of the new "toy". I would have waited for the next chat but I doubt I'll be around for that (I will try though) but I am curious as to what you think it is and how you think it works ;-)

Simple Pleasures

In response to Quont's Question of the Week 11:

My answer is to simply be. Incredibly simple, I know, but it is such a wonderful pleasure to be still and let the world go on around you for a short while. Sit at the desk and "zone out" for a few minutes, or find a spot in the backyard, sit on the ground and just be still. Okay, so sometimes it isn't so easy, but when it does come easily it's a great feeling.

Some other simple pleasures would be singing along with the radio in the car, curling up with a good book on a rainy night, and and enjoying a glass of fine wine with a friend.

A Quick Update

Just in case any of you thought I had dropped off the face of the Earth, you'll be happy (or not) to know that I am still among the living. I'll try to get over to Mernac later tonight or tomorrow.
