Holy crap, right? Two in one day. You must all be very excited. Or confused. Well, truth is crazy/funny contemporary The Rejectionist has a pre-resolution uncontest I totally forgot about when I was planning all my updates. Whoops. So here goes. Feel free to join in. The "rules" are posted here.
Pre-resolutions for December
1) I will not scoff at heavy handed religious moralism this holiday season.
2) I will not play Dick Dale's version of Hava Nagila very loudly when carolers appear.
3) I will actually edit at least one of my own works in progress
4) I will groan 30% less while reading the average query.
5) I will get a heart even if it means finding the Wizard.
6) I will whip my writing group into shape.
7) I will not publically humiliate myself more than twice a day.
8) There is someone I would like to hurt very badly. I will not do this, although this is less a pre-resolution than a result of my confounded pacifism and legal concerns.
9) I will conquer my pacifism.
10) Pacifism defeated, I will conquer the world. I will then rewrite the legal standards and be free to hurt that person very badly. For everyone else, beer and skittles.
Oh my! Very ambitious, young sir! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI heartily support your quest for world domination and serious application of equalization on the object of your anti-pacification.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I must find Dick Dale's version of Hava Nagila.
Wow. Replies from the Rejectionist and Maine Character. I don't think I've been so close to a celebrity since my graduating class nearly stampeded when we realized Bill Murray was hidden in a VIP tent off to the side.
ReplyDeleteNow I feel special.
Beer and skittles? Whoo-hoo!
ReplyDeletethe only way I could master #7 is to refuse to be humiliated. . .
I'd love to hear more about #8
ReplyDeleteLot's of activity here. Moral of the story: In addition to more book reviews, I need to cross promote with other blogs more. Can't wait until I've got time for that.
ReplyDeleteSarah: As your future dictator I will end all wars, promote health and education, provide beer and skittles to anyone who can't afford them (and subsidize them for everyone else) and ruthlessly bury any and all who oppose my perfect utopia.
Emily: Oh. Well, you know. There are laws. Like aggravated assault. Or did you mean my pacifism? Can't help that. I'm a thinker, not a fighter. Or did you mean, what would get me so riled that I'd want to abandon pacifism? Short answer: bad, thoughtless, contradictory editing.
