Six Things/Habits/Quirks About Schmutzie

1. I just now noticed that I often talk about myself in the third person on this website. Bob Dole and I should join forces for disassociation everywhere.


2. I also just now noticed that the end table next to my chair is actually a haphazard construction made of a wrapped box from a present I received in the summer balanced on top of a cat carrier. I like to think of this maverick furniture-building as a creative storage solution that fits my lifestyle.


3. Which reminds me of the worst bed I ever owned. I stole enough milk crates from behind a nearby grocery store to create a base for my bed, put cardboard down over it to smooth over their rough bottoms, and then put down a thin piece of salvaged foam. It was hard and depressing, but then I was crazy and unemployed and living in a friend's basement. Dumpster diving was my forte.


4. My sinuses hate me today, and I them. We are locked in a bitter battle. They want supremacy over my head, but I kind of value my brain.


5. I secretly like warts. They are these tiny, independent, uninvited guests. What chutzpah!


6. I like the idea of setting out to be pesky. How are you today? I'm pesky! And perhaps a little scurrilous!
