Five Reasons Not To Date a Writer

Writers are foul creatures. When you see them you should throw garbage at them. While there are many, here's just Five Reasons Not to Date a Writer : 1) They spend 95% of their time in their own head. This is frustrating for anyone who thinks their significant other should pay attention to them. The horrible writer has an incessant droning in their mind; constant chatter from characters, endings working themselves out, plots twisting in their brain... It's impossible to shut this out. So they don't. They'll never apologize for this just like a normal person wouldn't apologize for the color of their eyes. 2) They refuse to acknowledge reality.

Friday Favorites 3.30.12

Happy Friday, sweeties! (Tell me you read that in your River Song voice) Hope your week was easy peasy. Here's some neat stuff I liked: Favorite Playlist: mountain hymns; a collection of folky/indie/backwoods songs to match my smoky mountains state of mind (fleet foxes, sea wolf, grizzly bear, the national, band of horses, etc..) Favorite Quote: “Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.” -- Neil Gaiman Favorite Style: Favorite Read: Matthew Caws' Ten Most Played tracks on iTunes. I'm always curious about what musicians listen to, what authors read, which designers other designers wear; you can learn a lot about someone just by knowing who they respect. Favorite Art: The Turntable Spirograph Machine Favorite Geek: Season Two of Game of Thrones premieres this weekend
