I realized that I made an error in the meme. (which I actually stole indirectly from E. Lockhart, via John Green, but ANYWHO..) My favorite Christmas movie is without a doubt White Christmas.
I'm also working on correcting myself in other ways, too. Like, being less selfish. That would be nice.
And, I've made a goal for myself and have been writing every day instead of waiting for my muse, since Maureen Johnson has taught me there is no such thing.
Confession time? I don't think I ever read MJ's posts straight through. I'm a violently chronic skimmer of the MJ blog. I think I'm probably alone in this, though.
I think I probably spend too much time reading author's blogs, and, uh, not enough time doing more important things. Like, facebooking! Just kidding. But only a little.

the problem with having a blog no one reads is you only remember you have it on the bad days.
how can you tell if you love someone? if they can hurt you the very worst.
my heart hurts like crazy and I don't even mean figuratively. oh dear!

bounce
I'm throwing around ideas in my head. Ideas for the future. Where do I really want to live? Where will I truly be happy? Why can't I just live at HEB?
I know what I want in about 55 years, give or take. I know I want a little goat farm. I know what I want in 10 years, give or take. I know I want to write books. But in between and all around these goals, what? What do I want?
I don't know. And I hardly care. I'm just a dreamer and I can't fall asleep.
