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.

DEFINITELY for fanfic! I'm not passing up on a chance to chat with and/or shag my favourite characters. Bring on the self-insertion, baby!

Additionally, earlwyn and I are having a Mary-Sue fest after Kareokegal(CAN'T SPELL HER NAME, DAMNIT)'s Come As You Aren't party. marysue_md is the venue. We haven't started pimping it yet, though...

Yes, and the nerve of me trying to talk to you. WHAT WAS I THINKING?

GOD, HONESTLY. EW.

marysue_md, ha! That could be fun. I think I know someone who might like the opportunity to finish a Mary Sue WIP (and no, I'm not talking about myself in the third person, although if I'm in the writing mode then, one never knows what might happen).

I used to do more fanfic Mary Sues than now, when it's mostly in original fic. Maybe the peer pressure of being in fandom discourages me even when nobody's going to read what's safely on my hard drive. The disapproval, it hovers!

Writing Mary-Sue fic is a sin against fandom and doing it will MAKE YOU GO BLIND AND MAKE HAIR GROW ON YOUR PALMS. Even if you write it in the privacy of your own bedroom, people will KNOW. DO NOT SOIL YOUR SOUL AND SULLY YOUR PURE HANDS ON THE KEYBOARD OF SIN!

...too much?

There is no such thing as too much when it comes to a Mary Sue!
