Why thank you, FoF...
I think that's one of the nicer things anyone has said to me (in quite some time).
And, I honestly and truly appreciate it.

M.P.O.
You are a most unusual young woman. You would have fit in well in those male-dominated fields also...engineering, finance and such...They would love you- beautiful AND warped. I mean that only in a nice way since I have been there many years ago. Well, maybe not the "beautiful" part, but I digress.

Hobby. My meager writing employment...
to date has all been show biz related (film critic, gossip columnist).
As I had mentioned many times previously ... the Central Library in nearly every big city has many departments filled with a tremendous volume of info (such as the death statistics used for the Death Blog). It is merely a matter of being willing to pour through reams and reams of statistics ... and, then re-writing/re-packaging them in (hopefully) a more interesting way.
Having said that, I've always been an avid reader. And, beyond that, one of my primary goals in life is to be a contestant on "Jeopardy". I came close once before (competing for the teen tournament) ... however, I lost out (in the final round) to a little four-eyed Asian girl. Oh, I got back at her, though. Her and that little dog of her's. But, I digress.
Point is ... I'm not going to blow my next opportunity.

You work as a writer? What exactly do you write about that you manage to unearth these things...or are the things you dredge up your hobby?

When you delve down deep enough...
We humans aren't a whole lot less disgusting.

Unless, you have dinner at my house.
One time we had guests over, and I brought up the killer chimp attacks ... I swear, the look my mother gave me ... I was sure she was going to stab me right then and there.
It was hilarious.

Would YOU survive if you ate your own head?
Wait! Don't answer that!

When I first heard about killer bugs ...
that take dumps in people's mouths while they're asleep, I'll admit it made me a little nauseous ... and I love bugs ... but,
still...

I thought mosquitoes were bad enough! I don't think I can use these as table conversations.
