UPDATE: Some correct guesses are in, as noted below. Another day or two and I’ll give out the rest of the answers. What this blog needs to jazz things up is…a quiz! So, here’s a quiz. The following are quotes from fictional characters. Some are from movies, some from comics, some from books. Each quote has the speaker describing himself or herself. Identify the characters. Fun wow! 1. “I’m the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn’t very nice.” (Wolverine from The Uncanny X-Men 2. “In this town, I’m the leper with the mostDown the rabbit hole….

This meme-thing has been sweeping through Facebookatopia the last few days, with everybody and their brother getting tagged constantly. It’s just your basic “write X things about yourself” things, and I figured I’d cross-post my Facebook version here, since this blog is really my main homestead in cyberspace, as it were. Facebookatopia is a fun place to have a summer cottage, but Blogistan is always home! Anyway, here are my twenty-seven things. Long-time readers of this blog already know some of this. 1.

Hooray! One of my favorite blog meme-things, the “Five Questions” interview game, has finally made its way around Blogistan again. It’s taken a little while, and the timing is a bit goofy for me personally since next month is when I traditionally do “Ask Me Anything!”, but there it is. My five questions come from Steph, and here they are: 1. How do ideas for your books come to you? They don’t come to me. I have to go steal them. Next question! But seriously, I generally have no idea where my ideas come from. Mostly I suppose that stuffDown the rabbit hole….

I’m feeling the need to post something, and before we venture out for a fun-filled day of Gift Card Redemption, here’s a little years-end wrap-up quiz I found at Incurable Insomniac (who still owes me an interview, by the way!): Best Party: Errr…didn’t go to any parties.Worst Party: Ditto. No good parties, but no bad parties, either. Maybe some kind of Buffalo blog get-together might be in the offing in 2008, but I dunno…they only seem to have Twitter get-togethers these days, and I don’t do Twitter.

UPDATE: Hi, Reddit folk! Feel free to hang around. (But you should know that the quote in the picture over there is not mine. I have never written or thought any such thing. I’m weird, but I’m not Messianic about it.) Erin hit me with this: 1. Take a picture of yourself.. riiiiiight.. NOW! 2. DO NOT change your clothes. DO NOT fix your hair.. Just take a picture. 3. Post that picture with NO editing. 4. Post these instructions with your picture. 5. Tag 10 people to do this! Well, I’m not going to tag anyone; go ahead ifDown the rabbit hole….

UPDATED with some correct guesses! I’ve just seen a movie quote quiz-thing over at Erin’s blog. The idea is simple: you pick 15 movies or so, give a quote from each one (IMDb is good for this), and challenge your readers to identify the movies. As the quotes get identified, I’ll strike through them. I can’t pass this up, now can I? Why, no! So here we go (and just to make it slightly harder, there are no quotes from any Star Wars movie here): 1. We grew up in peacetime! 2. You’re as crazy as your mama! Goes toDown the rabbit hole….

A little while ago, I was tagged by SamuraiFrog with the “Story Meme”, which goes like this: a story is given to you in part, you continue it a bit, and then you pass it on to some other folks. Here’s where we stand so far: Part the First: The bus was more crowded than usual. It was bitterly cold outside, and I hadn’t prepared for it. I noticed that a fair number of the riders were dressed curiously. As I glanced around, I stretched my feet and kicked up against a large, heavy cardboard box laying under the seatDown the rabbit hole….

I’ve seen this “Alphabet Movie” meme-thing on a lot of blogs, in which you basically pick one movie for each letter of the alphabet. Here are the rules for this game (as quoted from SamuraiFrog, from when he did the game): 1. Pick one film to represent each letter of the alphabet. 2. The letter “A” and the word “The” do not count as the beginning of a film’s title, unless the film is simply titled A or The, and I don’t know of any films with those titles. 3. Return of the Jedi belongs under “R,” not “S” asDown the rabbit hole….
