Are ya ready? Are ya ready?
I don't consider myself humble.
That's right, I think I'm pretty fricken awesome. I won't tell you in person, but I will let you guess that by yourself. I also brag about various things in my life such as how many countries I've been in and the fact that I have a blog. Saying that you have a blog in Real Life makes me feel pretentious. And if someone ever thinks "That chick is sooo pretentious" then I think unto them "Damn right I'm pretentious."
The big news today is I am now the chief editor of the UW Flash Fiction website. Only UW-Madison students can submit and it'll be about a month before the site begins regular updates. But go check it out. I completely re-did the layout today between class and work.
And if you're going to be in the Madison area around mid-April, then you should check out Lit Fest happening in the new Union South. Here's our teaser trailer for it; it's all awesome and arty and filmed by my good friend (super secret) codename Mike.

Two Truths and a Lie - Crusader Challenge #1
I'm sure most of us have played Two Truths and a Lie before. There are five categories. Each will have two truths about me. The category with a lie will have three qualities, and it's your job to figure out the lie in the comments. The Crusades are hosted by Rachel at Rach Writes.
.
Secrets
- I only consider myself resourceful because I model it after my roommate (the one without the rabbit).
- Despite my excuses to my roommate, I really do want to sleep in the capitol building. You only live once, right?
Interesting Quirks
- A while ago, my friend pointed out that I have a thing with killing off my main character's best friend. Then another friend corrected that statement and said I had a thing with what she called Friend Tragedy (citing a story where the best friend did not die but was torn away in such a method to make the two characters mortal enemies).
- I love love LOVE 16x16 Monster Sudoku, but only the kind with the letters and not the numbers that go all the way to 16.
Annoying habit
- I bite my nails and play with my cuticles. Even on my toes. No blades, just teeth.
- Succumbing to the munchies when I sit at the computer or read. This helps by simply not buying snack food but is hindered my frequent moments of weakness.
Best Character Trait
- My humbleness, exemplified by the fact that I have really hard time bloviating.
- I occasionally have a very witty comeback. A few weeks ago, a friend asked if Superman checks in his luggage, and I said "Nope, he chucks it ahead of him as he flies." He was silent and I was victorious because he always has a comeback for everything.
- My ability to be prompt to everything. Seriously, I schedule myself so I'm at least 15 minutes early to stuff.
Favorite Thing in the Whole World
- When Squee leaps into my lap on his own accord then settles in a fuliguline way. Best thing ever.
- How to Train Your Dragon. Enough said.
Something is a lie. Can you find it? Someone please remind me to post the answer tomorrow; I get easily distracted.
