eLeCTRIC PENCILS

kellyoxford:

It’s my birthday song.
Sagittarius’s sound like idiots.

I watched that 3 times before I realized she wasn’t getting naked.

axinomancy:

Fox News and the last 10 months explained in a five minute video. And they wonder why they are singled out.

Sadly, I have a feeling a good portion of the population would watch this video and say “See! They just proved Obama is an America-hating, racist, fascist, socialist, communist who is single-handedly running the country into the ground by taking away our guns and giving them to blacks, gays and pedophiles.”

Questions, comments, whatever…

Totally undewhelmed

and you’ve got to post the link during peak tumblring hours!

frankly, your tumblrformspringin’ marketing skillz have been lackluster, sir.

LOL I’ve actually had it for less than 24 hours. And I have trouble posting it as a link in the message. I need to figure out how to do that.

Flannery O’Connor must be on this list.

Joyce Carol Oates.

Zadie Smith, Anne Carson, Francine Prose

Ursula K. LeGuin, Shirley Jackson

Um, Chelsea Chapa? (Are you submitting something for the music issue of Ghoti?)

Questions From the Formspring

Apparently, you can ask questions and I can answer them. Let’s try that.

Do you celebrate Christmas?  If so, what’s on your list?

For the most part, I don’t like Christmas. I never have. There are so many reasons why. I just find most people to be disingenuous about it.

What are two of your biggest fears in life?

Flying and success.

What obstacle are you currently trying to overcome?

That pesky fear of success. I don’t feel like I was ever prepared to succeed, by parents or schools or anyone. Failure was encouraged, and when you live with something like that, it’s ingrained in you and that’s hard to overcome, but I’m trying.

If you have something you want answered, the Formspring link is on the blog under my picture.
