I hate my job

[threeplusfire]

This is the problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, and we know nothing about each other. I'm going to rectify it. I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Feel free to ask tough questions. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Feel free to distract me. I'm wrestling with the plot progression of my story and trying to resist the urge to write fanfic for a story I haven't even finished. Can you fanfic your own stuff? Ugh. My brain hurts.

I actually think that fanficing your own writing is a really creative and interesting idea.

And as for my question- your job seems to make you so miserable. What is stopping you from working somewhere (anywhere!) else?

It presents a host of hilarious possiblities. I've always liked variations on a theme, so perhaps I'll write the same scene a dozen times from different points of view.

So far I'm in a holding pattern with the job. If I can make it to the end of the fourth quarter, I can pull in a good bonus that is at least another paycheck. This would be good to have for moving. We also haven't figured out exactly where we want to move. I would up and quit if I wasn't the person carrying the health insurance, and we need that. I've applied to a few jobs, but I haven't gotten even an interview yet. I keep hoping that something nice will appear on the horizon.

I think they are fairly even, maybe a couple hairs difference. My middle fingers are not quite even though.

I think the wizard is probably gay. He doesn't think about it much, because he's book hungry and fascinated by power that he's never had. But girls baffle him, he's amused and appalled by his friend's behaviour towards women and probably more than a little enamoured of his friend. After all, Charles is a dashing figure and has precisely the kind of confidence Meier lacks. I'm sure if the poor wizard ever figures this one out, it will be entirely accidental.

tell me about your travels

As a kid, I drove around the southwest with my grandparents. (Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico) Driving across Texas to visit someone is always an adventure. When I was sixteen, I went to France with a bunch of other high school students and spent too much time listening to my walkman and being antisocial. But it was beautiful, and I loved it.

In college, going to the Czech Republic saved my life. It turned a very bad year into a better one, and gave me hope. I fell in love with places that were so old it made my bones hurt to think about it. That first summer in Prague was the single happiest summer of my entire life. For a time, I imagined that it was the only life I ever led and I would never go back. I went back on my own the next year, for a strange adventure to Brno that had many ups and downs. In the end, I came home because I was lonely. It's hard to shake certain things from your heart if you grow up in a place like this.

Does Meier have any confrontations with his sworn enemies of the oaken, rectangular variety? :)

Bwahahaha, I really need to write that! I have the perfect place in the story for it too. Thanks, that had completely slipped my mind. I am such a dork.
