This is the “mandatory” new members survey from one of my groups on Goodreads, Miniature Amsterdam:
1. A haiku describing yourself.
2. Your most embarrassing moment.
3. Your favorite book.
4. What’s wrong with you.
5. How many GR friends you currently have.
Here are my answers:
1.
I run the Love Cult.
My love has two batteries.
PMS. Rx.
2.
The fact that the only embarrassing thing I can remember happened when I was eleven must mean that in the last eleven years, I’ve lost my shame. At any rate, here goes:
When I was 11, I was homeschooled and my family part of a “homeschool group” that occasionally did social things. One of these social things was a barbecue at this family’s farm, complete with hamburgers, hotdogs, etc. Well, at this point in my life, my allergies were very severe, with the result that I was usually extremely congested with no alleviation. So, we (the other kids and I) got our food and all sat down at this particular picnic table. I had gotten a hamburger, and as I removed the top half of the bun to prepare the toppings, I had the horrible sensation of a sneeze coming on–one of those sneak-attack sneezes that takes .02 seconds to actualize from the moment you realize it’s coming. So I sneezed, and suddenly my hamburger had its very own organic condiment.
Unfortunately, because I have an older brother, everyone noticed my snot-burger, snot-face, and snot-hands (it was bad.)

I check here often and I’m commenting just to let you know. How will I know how my favorite American is doing if she doesn’t post in her blog?
