Okay, I've been doing some much needed commenting. Sorry for the wait. I've also accumulated a great deal of stock photos taken of myself that I will submit as soon as I can find the time.

What have I been up to? Writing. Breathing. Writing. Not sleeping. Books one and two are finished. Three and four are in the works. Damn, I need to hurry up and graduate. School is just weighing me down at this point. I'm out for the summer and working as a nanny for an adorable little girl (15 months old).

Once I'm out of undergrad, I'll return to Oxford for graduate school and to start my training as a governess. Yep, I'm going to fulfill my dream of being a private home-school teacher. It's what I want. I really don’t have a lot of desire to be a full time writer. That would become too tedious.

I'm also going to spend all of next summer in Deutschland! That's right, Dill's going home! I might not leave...

I've made a list.

Things I want to do before turning 30:

*Learn Finish, Polish, Russian and whatever languages strike my fancy.

*Finish writing a series of Gay-friendly children’s books. (I’ve been working on this with my best friend Allo as illustrator)

*Take up a frivolous pen name and use it to write steamy harlequin novels. Tell no one. Donate the proceeds to one of the Breast Cancer funds (i.e. research, awareness, treatment, etc)

*Do a photo session for FHM magazine just to prove that I can. Tell everyone.

*Sing a cheesy commercial jingle; something along the lines of the Goldfish cracker theme song.

*Become a German-Jewish role model.

*Buy a good bit of land in Germany and have a house there that’s bigger than what I need. Make plans to work and raise a family there.

*Become a spokesperson for the following causes:
*Breast Cancer
*Eating Disorders
*Depression/Suicide
*Leukemia
*Immune Deficiency Disorder.

*Record an album using the Blasphemy lyrics.

*Develop a rehabilitation/treatment center for families and patients dealing with life-changing illnesses (among others).

*Become a University Professor.

I didn't put "get German passport and move there" because I figure that's a given. Those are things I'm going to do within the next two years. I need that damn passport. Must look into it...
