Win a Shrinking Violet Prize Pack in Randomness Contest!

  • Jul. 15th, 2009 at 10:49 AM
May 2008
Hey All,
I figured it's time for a little update and why not combine it with a contest! All you have to do is tell me something random about you in the comments section here and you could be the winner!

The prize:
A signed copy of Shrinking Violet
A Shrinking Violet bookmark and mini notebook
And of course, some random stuff!

So here goes for my randomness:

1. I left my wallet at Kmart yesterday and had no clue until they called me at home five hours later. My wallet was undisturbed. I heart Kmart!
2. While waiting for my edits on Indigo Blues (Flux, Summer 2010) I am working on my next novel, Graveyard Shift. It's about love, spirits and sprinkled with humor.
3. I have a mango tree in the backyard and it's so sad that I don't like mangoes.
3. I used to skateboard as a teen and totally sucked at it. Once I split my pants skateboarding. Totally embarrassing:)!

Contest Ends: Friday, July 24th at 11:57pm EST. Open to all, regardless of geographic location!
  • Mood: cheerful

You should put in a tree with a fruit you do like! Fresh fruits and veggies rock.

Something random?
I have never had a pedicure.

Hi my name is Michelle and I’m in my twenty SOMETHINGS. I’m a professional educator for some years now and Magna Cum Laude graduated. Also I’m a book addicted because of this I recently open my personal web page to review the books I got (http://windowpane-memoirs.com/). Right know my collection of books is like 500 :)


Peace
Doxys (Michelle)


ETC/ By the way your #2 randomness sounds very cool.

1. My books are alphabetized right to left. I'm not Jewish.
2. I don't get how girls plan their colours for dorm rooms? It baffles me, and I'm a girl.

I ate grass with 2 of my classmates in Pre-calculus a few months ago because I dared one of them to for $1. He ate it, but I wanted my dollar (like super bad) back so he gave it to me (he's too nice sometimes ;P) but the other friend/classmate kept hounding me that it wasn't right. So I ate some grass because I felt so guilty but wasn't feeling so well after that. So the guy that hounded me felt guilty too and ate some grass as well. We were a ball of fun then ;P The first guy though couldn't stop eating it so I had to throw the rest of the grass away xD

P.S. the grass was left in class from the world history class before us. it was in this plastic wrap.

I think my story was too long. LOL

Random Celebrities
I once met one of guys from the 1910 Fruitgum Company (that was a band, for all you youngsters). Their big hit was "123 Red Light."

It was the height of cool.

My next brush was fame was attending a David Cassidy concert for my 11th birthday. I was wearing my first pair of hiphugger bell bottoms. I was about a football field's length away from David, but I was sure we had a moment.

When I was 14 I came down with the stomach flu or at least that's what I thought it was. Turned out my apendix had been ruptured for 3 weeks. Worst. Summer. Ever.

Awww... you don't like mangoes? That makes me so sad. But yay for new books! (You should totally be going through the whole rainbow backwards now. Put the word green in Graveyard Shift's title!)

Okay random things...

1) I don't even know I do this, but apparently I'm known for randomly meow-ing during lulls in conversations. (I should be more embarrassed but I'm not)
2) I have 4.5 toes on each foot.
3) I'm not a boisterous drunk or anything, but I do insane things when I have too much sugar. I once apparently cartwheeled through the sprinklers outside my dorm after eating 1 lb of M&Ms. There is a video of this, but I honestly cannot remember doing it =D

Hi Danielle!

Here is some total randomness about me:

1. I've flown in an airplane ONCE but never landed (skydive). I REALLY want to go somewhere on a plane!

2. I didn't get the chicken pox until I was 20 years old.

3. Last week I went rollerskating for the first time is some ump-teen years and now i'm convinced I want to be a Roller Derby Girl!

BTW, Graveyard Shift sounds awesome! I have a book i'm doing revisions on (Deadies Don't Gossip).

LOL Did you add a second number 3 or did I miss it?? Cuz that's really funny.

(and since I'm replying I'll add another random:

Monday is my favorite day of the week because my husband and I have a standing date at the pub for grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches and the best french fries ever. So I get through work on the sheer strength of enthusiasm for date night, and then I don't have to think about it again for a week and have a fun dinner out.
