So on a whim, I decided to do some more memes. Because I’m bored and waiting for the post office to open so I can go get my mail and hope my second Jonathan Strange book has shown up. Now I’ve confuzzled you. Two Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell books? Why /two/? Easy schmeezy. I wanna alter one. It’s the PERFECT altering book. Big, ragged pages, black, and full of words that are semi-scholarly, literary, about magic, and none too distracting or offensive. It’s perfect for a witchy altered book, or any altered book, really.

Moving on, this is from Monday Madness:

1. How many cop shows can you name? Er… not so many. Lemme see… Oh hell, I’m not even gonna try. A handful. Maybe 6-8? I don’t watch a lot of TV. But I do like cop shows.

2. Do you send text messages? Only through email. Haha. But I actually live in one of those fast-disappearing places where digital cell service /does not exist/. We only have analog here, boys and girls. It’s /podunk/. And actually, I have to get outta town and catch a lucky wind just to get service at all. Ten miles east, it’s another story altogether. So no, no “texting” as it’s called. And besides… what a pain in the ass it is, anyway. Who really wants to send messages on a phone keypad? Gugh. Isn’t it easier to just dial up and /talk/?

3. If you could be on a gameshow (current or old), which one would you be on and why? I get stage fright, so I really don’t want to be on any, but probably Jeopardy, even though I really don’t know that much about trivia. But it’s my favorite, nonetheless. Be aware that I really don’t watch many game shows at all, though. (Like… zero.)

4. What are some of your favorite websites? Craftster, Mysticwicks, Google (of course - isn’t it everyone’s fave?), and lots of others. I have hundreds of bookmarks.

5. What are your favorite things about the internet? The internet has opened me up to not just another world, but dozens of worlds. It’s transformed everything about the way I live - I shop there, I play there, I learn there, I /think/ there. I can research anything I want to know. I can read books online by famous authors, and stories by writer fledglings. I can publish own a piece of it to do what I’d like with. I can find people who think like me, and turm them into the best of friends, and stay in touch with them every single day…

6. What about least favorite? It’s kinda pricey. It’s kinda slow, even on DSL. It’s filled with ads.

7. What are some good ways to deal with a pet loss? I’ve always found that finding another to love is the best way to deal with it. But then, I haven’t lost a pet in years, and I was a mere child then. But I know that if my babies ever died, I’d need to replace them. Not that they could ever be replaced - not in the way that you replace your fine china when it breaks, or your favorite jeans, but… Oh, it’s terribly difficult to explain. Every way I try it seems like I’d be one of those horrible women who got into a relationship, failed, and immediately latched onto another man. That’s not the case. Pets and humans are different things. I know this much: I feel calmed and at peace with my pets. If I lost them, I would lose both a companion I cherish, and a fuzzy, living… psychotherapist who heals with touch, not words. It’s not the companion that would be replaced (you can never replace friends, only add new), but that furry therapist - that need to have someone, something there for me during my pain that doesn’t try to make me feel better, but does anyway.
