Not RTW, This is a Sloth

Look at what I got today!

A baby sloth! Isn't it simply adorable? If you hurry over to enter YA Highway's Third Annual Winter Giveaway, you can get one of your very own!

This one is MINE. *pets sloth*

In other news, I have two more things to do today before I can officially say, "To heck with finals!" Both of them are presentations. I hate presentations. I don't mind standing up in front of class talking about stuff, but I don't like waiting for my turn. It makes me sick.

SO, I'm just going to go in there and be like, "Hey, I'm going first, and there's nothing anybody can do to stop me!" And then I'll proceed to take over the world.

Also, all of the responses I've had to my vlog idea have been positive, so I'm thinking that's what I'm going to do. You should all pray for YouTube. I have no idea what I'm going to unleash.

This Wednesday feels so weird without an RTW. I'm not complaining since YA Highway has that wonderful contest to fill it's place, but I guess I've become rather accustomed to being prompted into spewing my thoughts in a certain direction.

I mean, look at this post! It's a mess! I need guidance. There are so many topic threads that I have no idea which one to pursue...I really want to talk about that baby sloth but the vlog idea is pulling me in that direction...

Oh forget it. I'm going to go Tweet @aliciagregoire some more.

Until next time...may the force be with y'all! (Always.)

Pseudo-what? Pseudonym Contest!

Being a part of this delightful blogging community has its perks. One such being the constant o'er'bundance of contests.

 And we all know I LOVE those.

 However, this one is slightly different from all the rest. Sure, there's a prize, but this contest is about more than just winning [a signed copy of Possession by Elana Johnson!]

This contest is for something quite more portentous. I'm talking about identity, folks.

 Abby Fowers over at Something To Write About is celebrating 200 (approximate) followers with a contest for a suitable pseudonym for herself.

 Pretty genius in my opinion. I'm all for getting people to use their creativity for my own benefit. They always say that there's power in numbers, right? Right. I'm tempted to join her. Maybe I will. Naming minions, unite! *cough* Where was I?

 Oh, right...

 As for the contest itself, it's fairly simple as contests go. Just come up with a name and submit it in a comment to her contest post during the contest period--November 1st to 15th--and let the voters do the rest.

 I don't know about y'all, but coming up with names is one of my weaker points. I rely heavily on stealing names from real people or random name generators. Baby books are also a big help. In the end, it doesn't matter how you get the name, it just matters that it makes you happy and fits the character.

But that's what's so awesome about this contest: we're actually naming a real, live, human person! And she isn't a baby! Isn't that keen? (Wow, just had a total word-flashback due to the amount of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries I've been watching lately. Great show by the way.)

 So get to thinking and come up with names that you think will be simply perfect for Abby! I know I will be! And follow that link up there to find out all the true-blue details that I forgot to include, because I'm sure there are some. My memory isn't what it used to be. Or is it?
