How can I remember?

[readingredhead]

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, [even if we don't speak often] please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE-UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised [or mortified] about what people don't actually remember about you.

I have to say, this will be amusing.  Seriously guys, whatever memories you like.  I know I'll have fun making them up for some of you.

In other news, I'm done with my English paper!  Yeah, it probably needs some work and I'll look it over again tomorrow morning before I print it and turn it in, but at the moment it looks like I'm good to go.  This is the first time I think I've ever written a paper this quickly.

Stay tuned next week for short stories about bad science fiction writers (but realistic, so they still are literary fiction) and discussions of how books are made, with a highlight performance from some Russian guys who want to take me away.

This is why we always name the gadget after Harry.

Could I bother you to get me a signed event flyers signed? That would be beyond excellent.

It would indeed be exceedingly excellent and not a bother at all. :)

I really ought to name a gadget after Harry, but right now there are no unnamed gadgets. The laptop is Fitzwilliam (Darcy from Pride and Prejudice), the phone is Thomas, the iPod is Murphy (also Dresden!) and the family camcorder is Edmond (after the main character in Count of Monte Cristo -- my sister's name). Oh, and the Pocket PC is Nik, after a rather attractive spy in Julie E. Czerneda's Species Imperative series.

The Ipod is Macbeth, the computer is Hermes. The laptop that used to work and doesn't play well with others is Keito-kun. The camera is unnamed so far.

I think my calculators all had names, too. I know that graphing calculator was Akira, but I forget the scientific's name.


Thus begs the question of why all of my stuff is male.

All my electronics were male until Murphy (who's the most recent addition). She also almost got named after X-Files' Dana Scully, but I decided to stick with purely literary characters.
