10-day journaling challenge

I am such a sucker for this sort of thing.

Ganked from quietann.

Ten Day Journaling Challenge

Day One: Ten random facts about yourself.
Day Two: Nine things you do everyday.
Day Three: Eight things that annoy you.
Day Four: Seven fears/phobias.
Day Five: Six songs that you’re addicted to.
Day Six: Five things you can’t live without.
Day Seven: Four memories you won’t forget.
Day Eight: Three words you can’t go a day without using.
Day Nine: Two things you wish you could do.
Day Ten: One person you can trust

I suspect none of the ten items I can come up with for the first one is going to be news to anyone who reads my LJ, but oh, well.

1) I've been to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back via mule.

2) I've traveled to Alaska via the Alaska Highway back when 1200 miles of it was gravel.

3) I rolled my car once.

4) I'm in love with Yellowstone.

5) I have too many relatively useless letters behind my name: B.G.S., M.L.S., Museum Cert.

6) I am decidedly a cat person, although I like most dogs I've met.

7) My favorite flower is bearded iris.

8) My favorite color is the shade of green labeled "green" in the Crayola crayon box.

9) I do not like coconut or raisins.

10) Peanuts hate me.

"words, words, wooorrrds"

But not the kind Hamlet was thinking about when he said that.

No words yesterday unless you count a lot of characterization and plot flailing (which doesn't count because it's not actual manuscript), but over 1200 words today.

I suspect this story is going to need more than one viewpoint, which rather terrifies me.

wow, that's *corn*???

It's gorgeous: http://twistedsifter.com/2013/10/the-story-of-glass-gem-corn/

I don't know who introduced me to the Twisted Sifter blog, but I'm sure glad whoever it was did. This is just the latest of the fascinating stuff I've seen there.
