Let the shopping begin, brave warriors. Let your carts be swift and your credit cards never declined. May your enemies weep as you sieze the last of a popular item, glory and praise be yours for all time. Know no loyalty but to yourself, for this is a season of giving - afford not your rival consumer the honor of giving what is rightfully yours to another.





So! Things to be said, yes.

First, an old but beloved Yahoo group has come back! Some of you who enjoy my brand of work might enjoy perusing it's media offerings and whatnot, so give it a look.

Next, I have evidently been tagged with orders to reveal ten TRUE FACTS about myself! What a potentially hazardous development. As is my dilemma, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be random content of character business, or plain ol' A/S/L information.

WELL.

LET'S CALL IT A MIX TAPE. : [


10. I am a veteran of Operation: Iraqi Freedom. I was deployed two times, once for a year and again for fifteen months as an Army Infantryman. It was fun, but I would never do it again. I don't think I'll look back on it the way WWII or Viet Nam soldiers look back on their experience... but like any war, it was a collosal waste of our collective time, so I share that with my historical peers.

9. I own six pugs. Yes, six. To be fair, they weren't all bought at the same time, but there is something remarkable about the breed.

8. I'm a big time fan of G.I. Joe and Transformers. Never really got into any of the LotR or Marvel stuff... I suppose that's why I pitch such a fit about the shitty way the Transformers are treated in there movie but like Michael Clark Duncan as Kingpin or stuff like that.

7. Fear of spiders. I hate the things. I am well aware that being thousands of times their size gives me a slight advantage, but they have VENOM SOMETIMES. Venom wins. Forever. I'm always afraid that if I see one and don't kill it on the spot, it will return while I'm asleep and wrap me up and drain me. I will not allow this to happen. > : (

6. I am often very judgemental or critical. That is both of myself and others. It's a flaw. (HAH!)

5. I can be very paranoid. This includes believing people have hostile intent towards me when they certainly don't, or there is a phantom 'something' around the corner waiting to get me. I make light of it now, because it's a silly way to be, but when I'm in that ' place '... I'm in battle mode! I've been known to leave my house if I get the feeling or conclude a conversation without an explanation (just departing) but it's not a HUGE problem... it just happens from time to time.

4. I despise warm climates. So, I suppose going to Iraq and moving to Florida upon my return makes a ton sense.

3. I am an atheist. I think all that needs to be said on that is right there. XD

2. I really enjoy female fighting! Though, I bear no ill will towards women. In fact, if I ever see a guy fight a girl in movies/TV/what-have-you, I think it's ridiulous and unappealing. Then there are those peculiar videos where a girl beats up on a guy three times their size who usually just takes it... but if we want to get into ridiculous fantasy fetishes, I'm sure I can spend a few weeks on 'Vore' or something... (THERE'S THAT CRITICAL ATTITUDE I MENTIONED.)

1. I do not like talking about myself. Not that I'm a private person, I just find myself particularly boring.



I hope that's all in order.

Be well!
