Sorry so long for updates

I have my annual Seal Bark Cough. Or maybe not annual... Last visited maybe a year and a half ago? It's horrible in the morning or whenever I'm somewhere and trying to be quiet. I blame my boss, Cristiano, who took a good week off from work to be sniffling and coughing in the comfort of his home. Obviously, he infected me prior to his departure. The day he came back I felt a sharp foreboding pain in the back of my throat.

Today I read an entire book. It's about creating wealth. (At least I recognize my weak spots, no?)

As for 7 things about me... well.. I really don't know. Everyone kinda knows mostly everything about me that's of any importance. I think. I shall try.

7. Today I am attempting to sell my very first item on eBay. I guess this doesn't exactly qualify as "about me." Let me try again.

(But do check it out. My eBay name is carozy and I have 100% satisfaction rate! Woo-hoo!)

OK, in all seriousness:

7. I'm not shy about eating alone in restaurants or going to plays or movies alone, but I used to be.

6. Sometimes I feel more shy in a group than I would doing #7, although I don't (or try not to) let on.

5. I've been debating about getting a mouse for a pet for a while. The fact that they are (unfortunately) snake and cat food has shed a rather defeatest slant on the whole idea though.

4. I don't miss TV.

3. When I was in eighth grade science class I invented a whole alphabet of these different symbols with the sole purpose of beautifying and simplifying writing. So I left out K, Q, and X, because they could be spelled C, CW, and ECS. But later I put K back in, I don't remember why. I remember the full alphabet I created but I can only read my name -- the rest has to be deciphered. I still think it's pretty (albeit useless) but definitely a lot slower to write in. I'm the only one who knows it and I still use it occasionally, when I want to be secretive.

2. I also had this big thing about writing backwards around that time, so now it is pretty easy for me to spell or say things backwards. I think that is a valuable lliks.

1. I am trying to eliminate my use of plastic bags.

You can go to bed tonight assured that you've learned some pretty darn important facts about your dear friend Nylorac. :)

Sis, it's your turn.
