So, why the hell not, tagged (kinda) by Busy Mom to do the Completely Honest thing.

I have to say 10 honest things about myself.

Ahem.

1. I only had four hours of sleep last night, and today keep getting chills.
2. Okay, that one was lame. You don’t wanna hear that kinda stuff, do you? Well, I blame the chills on eating barbecue last night and not getting enough sleep.
3. Oh, wow, this is easy! I’m already to number three.
4. I suffer from depression. Sometimes less, sometimes more, but it never truly goes away.
5. I have finished two books so far this year. One of them I started in 2007. Shut up. I’m trying to set a good example for others. I fully plan to finish a third by the end of the year.
6. When something tragic (or potentially tragic) happens, I tend to crack jokes. It’s a coping mechanism. Not everyone likes this about me. Usually they are too kind to say anything about it; I realize that it can be off-putting and I try to control myself.
7. This should not be a surprise if you’ve ever read my blog, but I kinda like movies. That’s why I didn’t get much sleep last night (weren’t you paying attention? That was number 1, and two.) I went to see Where the Wild Things Are at the midnite movie
8. Going to midnite movies here makes me feel incredibly old, not only am I like double anyone’s age, but I was the only one a) sober and 2) driving a minivan.
9. Speaking of old, can you believe Favre is still playing? And undefeated? (at this writing). While technically this statement is not about me, it is honest.
10. Depression means I constantly have to step back from the keyboard, because the stuff I might write would probably get me the “loony” label faster than you can say Balloon Boy’s Family Gets Their Own TV Show. At the very least it would all be presented in divorce proceedings. So step away I do, a lot, and instead talk about movies and football and balloons.

Go, do.
