Of course I do not usually post large pics:
But in this case, I felt an exception was warranted.
Sweet, isn't it?
As it is the milestone of yet another 365 days of not dying due to my own excesses, I thought I'd take this opportunity to write a revealing post. But Wednes, you'll all say, We know all there is to know about you! You couldn't possibly tell us anything new. You've got some attitude, BTW. And besides, you're wrong! There are hundreds of miraculous factoids floating around about me that one or more of you may well find fascinating. And off we go.
1. I adore Rob Thomas. I just can't help myself. I've been entranced with him since the first time I saw him in that video for Push. And I was worried that maybe he was like, 22 or something. But no, he is 2 years older than H. Seven of my ten most played itunes songs are by him. I own 3 Matchbox 20/Twenty CD's. Plus I hate most popular music, so it's some kind of anomaly.
2. My all-time favorite movie is The 10 Commandments (1956). Yes, that one. It's on TV every Easter season, more often on Palm Sunday. My brothers and I watched it every damn year when we were kids. That Moses story is amazing. In fact, Prince of Egypt was my favorite full-length animated movie for a long time. But I had to give it up for Triplets of Belleville in 2003.
3. The only contemporary video game I play on any sort of regular basis is Pinball of the Dead. Which is full of zombies, and it's tremendously fun. I also like tons of retro games, and own several for the GBA.
4. Speaking of which, my last two apartments have not been zombie safe. At. All. As such, when the zombies do come, my plan will have to be to take my upstairs neighbors out. Of course I'll give them a chance to cooperate; but I've seen enough movies to know that they almost never do. So I'm sorry in advance, but I'm probably going to kill them and take their apartment.
5. And this is probably the most difficult to admit. And I don't want anyone to try to reason me past it because it is a Wednes fact, and not a desperate plea for attention. If I do not ever get published by a "real" publishing house (not online, or self-published) then I will consider myself a failure. That is why it is so scary to be sending things out. So far, not making it out of the slush pile has not been so bad. It would be much worse if publishers read my stuff and thought it sucked. Writing is the thing I'm best at; and it's the only thing I take pride in. So if I'm not successful at it, I will likely grow old and bitter-er.
And there you have it. Five new Wednes facts. Riveting, no?
Sweet, isn't it?

I started watching Vincent Price in the Corman movies. Pit and the Pendulum remains my all-time favorite.
