I admire authors who are able to take the compex world inside his/her head and wrestle it onto paper. I have a lot of fantastic ideas for stories, but don't seem to have the knack of making them live on paper. :(


Do you like candy corn?

Normally, no, but I recently discovered a "trail mix" type thing with candy corn, M&Ms, peanuts and raisins. It's quite yummy. :)

That is because the M&Ms, peanuts and raisins help you forget that you are eating wax. :lol:

A pessimist (but I am very hopeful of changing that.)

Obama, probably. But I hold no faith with either.

Why is it that without my glasses on, I see your name as 'baloni', which my brain, twisted from playing the ACBs uf Missspelt Wurds game, reads as 'bologna'?

Because you don't see well and you play in Mallory's too much?

How do you motivate yourself to do work you do not really wish to do?

Some say they are, but I don't believe them. Then again, I tend not to believe I exist some days...

If you retrace all your steps, you will find them in your coat pocket/pants pocket/purse. But you must retrace all your steps first.

I don't think KY offers early voting. I'll check to make sure.

Something with cheese and lots of carbs, like homemade Mac and Cheese. . . and certain emotions or stress makes me crave things like that.


It is said that Marcel Proust was promted to write a 9-volume memoir when the smell of freshly baked madeleines triggered some of his earliest memories. Do you have any cherished memories that center around a particular scent?

I'm sure I have a number of memories that would be instantly triggered by a certain scent, but I couldn't name those memories or the scent off hand. I hope it's not a guy thing that I can't describe those things (at least not without prodding).

What memories from your childhood do you wish you had photos of?

No, 'cause I can't remember most of it. I envy my future, 'cause I remember that pretty well.

Do you believe in ESP or precognition or anything like that?
