Me me me, let's talk about me! Or, There's two "me"s in "meme."

[bironic]

So theninth tagged me to do the meme where you list seven random facts about yourself, but you know what? I'm bored this week (sloooooow at work) and a little lonely, and I like you guys and I like talking about myself, so how about you ask me stuff? I reserve the right to pass if the question's too personal, but you can always ask another. Yeah? And then if you like, I'll ask you something back.

...

Oh, I give in. Here are three random facts about me—two copied from a recent comment over at cryptictac's, and one I've been saving up in case a meme like this came 'round again. shut up.

1. Most of the time, if I can't remember a word, it starts with "con-." This makes me suspect that there are tiny areas of the speech centers of the brain responsible for particular morphemes.

2. I still sometimes work on years-old Mary Sue stories in the privacy of my hard drive.

3. If I'm reading a story and someone blinks, winks, nods, shakes or jerks their head, grimaces, shrugs, smirks, squints, raises their eyebrows, snorts, etc., I do the same thing before I've realized it. Like some kind of above-the-chest reader's Tourette's.

4-9. Here are six random facts from the last round.

I think it's cute that only Wilson seems to affect you, or affects you more strongly than other characters do. You two were meant to be.

I wonder how another person's Mary Sue story would read if s/he were a good writer, it was a fandom/canon character you loved, and the Mary Sue was less a Little Miss Perfect than a perfect entry point/blank canvas for self-insert for the reader. In other words, I wonder if your story would be a really fabulous guilty-pleasure read for those of us who've imagined or wouldn't mind imagining being in a House/Wilson sandwich.

Oh God, I identify so strongly with Wilson it's a little bit sad. Whenever House screws him over I get hugely indignant on his behalf.

It would be great if that were the case, but I don't know. Maybe if I revised it... but even then, I think a lot of people would be too embarrassed to read it, even if they kind of wanted to. I feel that way about writing it. It's pathetic, but I can't help it. I don't want to be 'the Mary Sue girl', you know?

Yeah, I know, sad as it is. And "anonymous comments turned on!" wouldn't necessarily do the trick.

Whenever House screws him over I get hugely indignant on his behalf.

I think that we shall get along just swimmingly. I have often been watching a show called Wilson, M.D. all these years.

I might give it a try anyway. My flist, at least, would probably read it just to humor me.

I think, if Hugh were right and it eventually turned into a show all about Wilson, I would watch it with renewed... um... obsessiveness.
