what i think about when i’m not writing
in no particular order:
- Why do people kill spiders? (It's bad luck. I'm sure you think I'm just being superstitious, so roll the
dice. It's your life.)
- Why do the people with the least to do have so much time? (And interestingly enough, insist they have
none.)
- Why would anyone want a bird as a pet? (Birds are dangerous – don't be fooled by their delicate
appearance. They can take off a finger in a heartbeat. I would rather have an alligator as a pet.)
- Why are so many vegetarian dishes based on meat dishes if vegetarians don't want to eat meat?
(Think: Boca sausage, Boca burgers, Boca taco meat, tofu dogs…shall I go on?)
* This is by no means a slam against vegetarians. (My friend, A, was a vegetarian until she remembered
she really liked bacon.) This is just one of the many things I think about when I'm not writing madly.
- Why do people who don't like you pretend they do? (This is a huge waste of time, and only makes the
person pretending to like you look like an idiot. Because – we know! There is no Oscar coming your
way.)
- Does anyone else sit around wondering why they canceled Buffy? (Seriously, Sarah Michelle Geller
doesn't seem that busy, and the world needs Buffy.)
- Is all of this an indication that I really shouldn't have breaks from writing? (This is a rhetorical
question.)

Even your procrastinaion is more creative than my attempts at writing. Sigh. You rule but spiders freak me out, no matter how miniscule.

The world does need Buffy. I miss her!

My cat kills spiders. I don’t think she means to. She just wants to play with them.
