We are the Champions!
Appetizer
When was the last time you were surprised? The last time someone jumped out from behind a corner and screamed at me–that would be about two hours ago. I have the funniest co-workers. 
Soup
Fill in the blanks: My eyes are my best feature, but I wish they were even more expressive than they are–maybe not. I’ve made people nearly laugh themselves to death with my expressions.
Salad
If you were a Beanie Baby, what would you look like and what would your name be? I’d be a pink and black, winged, lightning-bolt-wielding tiger named…Sparky. ROAR.
Main Course
Name two things you consistently do that you consider to be healthy habits. My stretches and exercises. That’s it.
Dessert
What brand of toothpaste are you using these days? Do you like it? Why or why not? I buy what’s cheapest.
- What was the last thing you baked? Pizza.
- What was the last thing you tried on for size? Discounted summer blouse.
- What was the last thing you purchased on credit? Nothing.
- What was the last thing you put a postage stamp on? My brother’s birthday card.
- What was the last thing you took a photo of? Hold on, let me check my Katana…me in my new "U BUG ME" t-shirt.
1. Once upon a time in a land with no physical entrance…(that’s how many of my stories could begin.)
2. Children screaming and laughing simultaneously. Oh, the joy.
3. Boiling white tea and ginger.
4. Way down under.
5. Keys excite mystery; locks bring bafflement.
6. Have you seen the Rafim? They’re so creepy!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to going to shul, tomorrow my plans include continuing the final editing on my novel, and Sunday, I want to get it all done! (It’s a long shot, but what the hay?)
My bad mood has broken. I say broken because I really feel I had to break a part of myself to come free from this depression. I haven’t been as low as when it came to a head in a long time. Even now, there’s something weird…blank, missing…I’m just not sure if that missing thing is good or bad. Times like this *almost* make me wish I was a guy…but not quite. (No offense, guys.)
Getting a little more upbeat, I went shopping with Imah last night–originally to buy some cheap, sugarless soda pop to help ease my nausea–and came home with A Knight’s Tale. The DVD and the soundtrack. I love the movie and the music…well, it’s rocks me. My favorite song is "We are the Champions". I’ve had it playing every moment I’ve been home since it arrived here. Ok, not every moment. I also enjoy "We Will Rock You," "Lowrider," and "Taking Care of Business." But "We are the Champions" gives me the feeling of empowerment that I need right now. I’ve always been deeply affected by music.
On a final and most exciting note: I have finished my novel!!!!!!! I’m now in the final editing stages., following which I will immediately move on to volume 2 (I want to write the whole series before I try to publish).
I’d like to thank Her Majesty for her awesome help including typing up part of my story which was lost when my old computer died (Has anyone ever called you ‘Lightning Fingers?"). Thank you, also, Camp W girls for your interest and enthusiasm in the first chapters I released to the public. Finally, thanks to my (awesome-as-usual) co-workers for your interest and encouragement–and, specifically, you, Chauncy, for all the great advice and nagging. I don’t think I could have finished without you!
Speaking of nagging, Imah told me my title was boring. I’ve changed it several times. I can’t seem to get anything to fit. Then, I struck it–gold. It is now, simply: The Legend of Ruach. Yes, that’s also the name of the series. Hey, if Stephenie Meyer can do it, so can I. 
Rock on. Shalom!
