possibly_thrice asked me the following questions:


1. Do you write/plan to write original fiction? Why or why not?

Yes! I currently have a story out right now that I hope will be accepted. *crosses fingers* I will not forget you little people when Kelly Link chooses my story to begin The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy anthology. LOL

2. Are you near-sighted or far-sighted?

So very very very nearsighted. Very.

3. Do you have a pet or pets? TELL ME MORE.

We have two cats. Tweek is black, 11 years old, and was a foundling. She had had her tail eaten off by something and so now all she has is a little stump that she wags like a dog. She's Josh's girl all the way. Electra is a tortoise shell, 10 years old, very skittish, and possibly the dumbest animal I've ever encountered. So sweet, but dumb as shit. Her face is half black and half orange just like that episode of TOS. She's so neurotic; she was on Prozac for awhile until she and Tweek broke into the stash, ate all her meds, and slept for three days straight. She expresses a distinct preference for women; her favorite pastime is to rub her face on some unsuspecting woman's chest. Oh, Electra, your party fouls are numerous. She also used to just lick the carpet in our old apartment for no reason we could discern. This has led to some ingenious nicknames, let me tell ya.

4. What was the last book you read and really, really liked?

Patrick Rothfuss Name of the Wind. So freaking good. It's the first of a trilogy and I'm really excited for the next installments. It's fantasy--magic and the whole nine yards--but somehow reads as fresh to me even after a lifetime of immersing myself in that genre.

5. Name a smell or other sensory perception that comes wrapped up with memories for you.

Oh gosh. It's music. Always. The other day I heard Eve 6 on the radio and for just one second, I was squished in Lisa's car with Crystal and Sian and Jennifer and we were drinking Route 44 cherry limeades with the windows rolled down on Hardy Street. I get so damn nostalgic. I think it's my default setting, especially in the fall.

Who wants me to ask them something?

Totally! You see why I love it so much? :D

The story goes all the way back to Hesiod (Greek poet, c. 720BC), but the Romans picked it up too: the most complete version is in Ovid's Metamorphoses (3.324-342).
