Dear Universe:

[stillsostrange]

I am really not that clumsy. This coffee spilling business needs to stop.

Thank you.

Thank goodness for black clothing.

wicked_wish mentions the struggling writer as protagonist and how annoying it is. I agree. Annoying as all get out. (I also agree that Stephen King does well with writers as protagonists. Bag of Bones is my personal favorite.) I think we've all figured out the annoying neurotic parts of writing on our own, thanks. And while I can listen to my friends talk about writing all day long, I really don't need it in fiction. I'm not particularly fond of either grubby apartment/struggling writer stories, or of fantasy-writer-goes-to-fantasyland stories. (The former are boring, the latter make me jealous.)

Of course, I have a great fondness for academics as protags, and I suspect that annoys some people too. Alas and wailaway.

Did I have something else worthwhile to say...? Guess not.

I'm not sure if there are enough of them to be a cliche yet. I think you're safe. :)

All my characters come with built in deodorant, I think. Eww. Also, I notice my girls never need to shave their legs.

*nod* all my fantasyland fantasy characters come with DO and shaven legs.

Just to mess with Tabetha, she will not.

And she will get a sunburn. Water blisters. Pealing. Itching.

And hairy legs. :D

I'm thinking... everything you and I do daily (teeth brushing, hair brushing, washing, shaving, deodorant, simple going to the bathroom....), Tabetha will suddenly remember and be very unhappy. :D
