EEK! I've been tagged!

OK, this was not what I wanted to write! I changed it, but evidently blogger ignored me. I'm updating now. *friggin frackin friggin frackin*


This is a first! Thanks, Val, I think. My consolation is that before I was tagged, so were various published authors, all of who's blogs I read!

OK, here's the deal.

1. Delve into your blog archive.

2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).

3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).

4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions. Ponder it for meaning, subtext or hidden agendas...

5. Tag five people to do the same.


The 23rd post was made July 17, 2005. Sentence #5 was: "Somehow, Borders forgot to let me know when my reserved copy of Last Girl Dancing came in."

I can forgive Borders for this one. I reserved it before we moved and used the old phone number instead of my cell phone, like an idiot. However, I updated my info so they should have been able to call me when Talyn came in. They didn't; I got a post card, and it was a few days before I could get to the store. They sold it mere hours before my arrival.

It's ironic that the required post was a review of Last Girl Dancing by Holly Lisle. Hers was the first blog I read this meme in. I love Holly's writing, not just for the entertainment factor but also for research purposes. She's really blossomed since moving into the paranormal suspense realm. Not that her science fiction isn't worth reading; it definitely is.

In any case, I gushed for a few paragraphs about how fantastic the book is, but on a deeper level I was writing things that I hope someone will write about me someday.

The last part of this is to tag five people, but most of my readers don't blog, and most of the ones I read have already been tagged, so Claire and Gemmack, if you read this, consider yourself tagged! (That explains why Val asked who I tagged; it didn't publish the right version!)
