I don't know if you watch Spongebob, but they have a show where Spongebob tries to round out his square edges, and be "normal." It's a great show. He decides normal is boring and tries to reverse the "normal" process.

But don't feel bad. I heard a news story about snakes and I had to check around the bedroom to make sure all was safe. Gullible or credulous?

I'll admit it. I sa...Well, if the shoe fits...<br /><br />I'll admit it. I said, orange, out loud. A few times. All the while thinking I would just play along and see why. Then it struck ~ dumbstruck, really. I am SO gullible, it's ridiculous.<br /><br />I like to call it, Trusting. I also like to think of this curse, as possessing the keen ability to make others laugh. To be honest, I wouldn't change it. I guess you're right, there is something about my curiosity, my "anything is possible" mentality, I guess, that leads me to believe that if you say, Orange enough times, you will hear Banana. As a writer, if I'm decent, I could possibly make a reader believe that they should too. And... that aliens might just fly out of their butt if they don't. *wink*Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194637248895827402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871196542873255795.post-73068902920223428852012-01-31T05:21:53.060-07:002012-01-31T05:21:53.060-07:00I've never beem accused of being gullible, but...I've never beem accused of being gullible, but family has hinted I might be a touch crazy for writing all my stories. People wonder where my characters come from, and yes, it's imagination. I don't know what I'd do without it! I grew up a rather lonely child, didn't have many friends, so now I've got tons of them.
