Writer's Block: Zzzzzz...

I get about five hours or a little more, which is probably not really enough, on nights when I have to get up for work. I don't feel sleep deprived, though, and as far as I know I function just fine. On weekends it's usually six to eight, which is what I probably should be getting every night.

Writer's Block: Ain't Easy Being Green

I recycle bottles and cans and jars and paper as much as I can. I honor the request that reads "Please consider the environment before printing this email" that appears on my work email messages. I turn off the light when I leave a room. I try not to spend too much time in the shower.
I wish people would be more recycle-conscious. Every day at work I see plastic bottles and recyclable paper in the trash. And speaking of bottles, I wish the bottled water insanity would stop right this minute.
There's more, no doubt, but that's all I can think of at the moment. Truth be told, what I'm doing is not enough.

Writer's Block: Interior Decorating

No TV/movie stars, singers/bands, or any of those other things. I had a very large map of the world, and a color-by-numbers picture of a very colorful bird that I'd spent many hours on because it was mosaic-like and had thousands of little squares to color in.
I don't think my parents ever yelled at me to take anything down. They didn't mind the bird and they probably liked the fact that I was interested in geography.
There had to be more than just those two things, but they're the only ones I can remember.

Writer's Block: Educate Me

Respect? Maybe it's not really a school subject, and it should be taught at home, but obviously it isn't. In many cases. So that, and sex education. Not enough of that is talked about at home either.
I think there'd be plenty of time in school for these if they'd quit having to teach how to pass standardized tests.

Writer's Block: Girl Scouts' Day

Trefoils are my favorite. Boring, huh? I like shortbread cookies. Of course, I also like Thin Mints and Samoas and Do-Si-Dos and Tagalongs and and and...
I usually buy two boxes every year, but due to a particular couple of recent news stories related to Girl Scouts, I bought a total of nine this year. I think I'm done now. But maybe not.

Writer's Block: Super Bowl Sunday

Being a New Englander, I'm rooting for the Pats, but being a fan and not a fanatic, I won't consider it to be the end of the world if they lose.
I also have a lot of people to be happy for if the Giants win, including my brother-in-law and his daughter, and at least one Livejournal friend.

Writer's Block: Don’t look back in anger

Nope. It wasn't a particularly good year, but I have no regrets over anything I said or did.
And since "this year" is now last year, and it's January 1st, Happy Birthday,
anais_pf!
If I made resolutions, one would be to post here more often. But I don't usually, and when I do I never stick to them. I'll try anyway.
Happy New Year, everybody!

Somewhere, I've mentioned this before, but I don't know if it was in a Writer's Block answer.
I met George Carlin in a gift shop at a hotel in Hawaii, and I met Neal McDonough at a night club in Hyannis when we were there with a friend of ours who went to high school with him.
One of them is more famous than the other, I guess.
