Three things … and flying monkeys
Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Quite the combo, no? I ripped this off of Leah Braemel’s blog, who got it from The Goddess Blogs, a spot where one of my fellow Utah chapter-mates, Nicole Jordan, does her bloggy thang. (Julia London, who originated the post, defines the ‘flying monkey category’ as being: It wasn’t good, it wasn’t bad, it was somewhere in the middle, sort of grotesquely fun.)

Three things I like about me:

1. I have awesome hair. Everyone deserves a vanity, baby, and that’s mine. I slap a lil mousse in it and have the kind of curls my friends pay a bazillion bucks to get. Woot.
2. I’m not afraid to voice an opinion (loudly). Trust me, where I come from, women who speak their minds are not appreciated–especially if they’re arguing with a man. You know I like arguing with men, right? ;)
3. I’m usually a pretty good friend. Not totally made of awesome, but not craptastic either.

Three things that could stand improvement:

1. I’m fat. Yeah, I know. Shocking, right? I should probably do something about it. Maybe. Ugh.
2. A social life that doesn’t include friends/other writers on the phone would be good.
3. I should do laundry more often. And the dishes. And vacuuming. Maybe mopping. Definitely cleaning the bathtub. Okay, that’s more than three. I’m done now.

Three flying monkey things about me:

1. I just did my taxes yesterday. I usually do them like February 1, but writing like mad to meet my first Kensington deadline–well, housework wasn’t the only thing that went by the wayside.
2. I failed grammar and passed calculus (barely). It’s weird that I write now–but, ya know, still suck at grammar.
3. I’ve lived in every time zone in the U.S. and still like the one I was born in best.

    This is fun, but I really want to know more about Dr. Cuthbert from your novel Treasured. He seems so familiar – it’s as if I almost knew him! ;)

    Hope you’re well, Crystal!

    Dude, Bill! You’re a nut. And NO, he was not named after you. :P

    Then I guess it’s okay to mention that Dr. C. does NOT get laid in this book. Better luck next time! ;)
