Ganked from most places I've seen today...

Is there anything that you want to know about me? And how I work?

I am unfailingly honest, for the most part, so go ahead if you're inclined. Anon posting is always on though there's no reason to fear logging on and commenting because I'm not going to think badly of you for asking a question, no matter what it is.

How does one go about getting one of those word-counter things for NaNo? I haven't written anything yet but having one might encourage me a bit, or something. Targets and whatnot.

It took me a day, but I've thought of a question! I think you said you rarely stay in one place longer than year, yeah? So why do you move around so much?

Aha! That's an easy one - because I get bored very easily and find it impossible to settle. I'm the worst kind of commitment-phobe - I can't commit to a place to live, let alone people or jobs or activites. So I have to keep moving. I think it comes from being an Army brat, even though I was too young to remember most of the moving around back then - what I mean is, I was never a 'local' where I grew up. Despite being born in Gloucester, twenty generations of my family hadn't lived in the Forest of Dean previous to my birth and my mother's Irish, so we weren't integrated in the local villages the way most of the other kids' families were. I never thought of it as home, so now, when I move around, its impossible to feel integrated in any of these temporary places either and I don't like any of them enough to settle down and put down roots. That'll happen in America I think, or maybe London. Or Europe, but its not likely to be England outside of the capital.

There. Much more information than you ever needed or wanted, I'm sure.

Ooh, my dad was an army brat! He used to move around a lot too, but then he had kids and now he and mum have been living in our house for twenty-odd years. Isn't it a bit... financially wobbly, though?

HA! More of a complete financial collapse really but that's OK. It's totally worth it. You only live once.
