Randomness

RULES:

We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I'm in dire need of a new job; my current job will likely be gone by next year. But I don't actually care. Only in the most Pavlovian sense of awareness of it, like the inevitable financial doom unemployment would inflict on our family, but little more. I hate working for other people.

2. I really like Suede. They were a great band, even when they had to change their name to The London Suede they were good. Even when they're a little over-the-top, a little grandiose, it all still works.

3. I ate three slices of apple cinnamon coffee cake this morning. It was on a shelf at work, in honor of a coworker's last day. I thought a good way to honor her leaving would be to eat three slices of it.

4. I like cleaning laundry lint screens; it's very satisfying.

5. I'm an anarchist, although I will also answer to "libertarian socialist" if one must pigeonhole me. You can even find me in Wikipedia, if you knew where to look.

6. I can't remember my favorite color. It was blue when I was a child, what I'd habitually answer, but I don't honestly know if that's still my favorite color these days. I think maybe I don't really have a favorite, anymore.

7. I hate my writing, but I still do it, regardless. I constantly worry about my mediocrity as a writer, when contrasted with my prolific output -- like does the quantity of my output reflect the quality of it? I don't know. I feel like the magician on a stage; you know how the trick works, so it's not really magic, or even entertainment, exactly -- not for the magician; the trick either works, or it doesn't. Same with writing. It's more like a compulsion: I'm a writer, therefore I write. But am I a good writer? Damned if even know, anymore. I used to think I was.

8. My totem is Dog.

I tag anybody who reads this, if they haven't been tagged already.
