More meez

I decided I needed a new avatar. (Why? Because I'm procrastinating of course! Ya-duh!)

The first one I made years ago when I was trapped in the prison of school.

The second I made showed me writing romances in London, wearing an historical type gown.

This time I chose a Victorian look (with clogs) in a theatre, while writing. Because part of me wants to be back at Stratford watching Oscar Wilde plays, and the other part is happy to be here, writing.

Okay but in reality... I spent a few hours reading Hunger Games this morning, and I made some scones, but the rest of time has been spent working out my plot so I can actually start the WRITING part. I think I've got enough plot worked out to get going tomorrow.

Is this troubling you?

The Importance of Being Earnest ends with some familial revelations, resulting in the fact that one of the heroes is now engaged to his own cousin. This seemed to cause some "distress" to people around me, after the play. (Well, more like they thought Oscar Wilde had overlooked something.)

But if you're A Great Reader of Aulde Books then you know that (a) cousin doesn't always mean "first cousin", and (b) though in this case it does, the taboo against marrying cousins is a recent thing, and (c) in any case it isn't against the law in England. And it's legal in many US states, as well as in Canada.

I just thought... I needed to put everyone's minds to rest.

Or I needed a minute of procrastination. I swear I was researching!
