"Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then pick six of your friends and tag them; no tag backs. This explanation should be included."*

1. In a little less than a week, I'll have taken the final exam for my master's program. This both thrills and terrifies me.

2. I still don't know what I want to do with my degree. I've applied for random jobs here and there – a research department assistant with the U.S. Supreme Court, a writer/editor for the F.B.I. – but I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm in the wrong field. I guess only time will tell.

3. Yesterday I realized I haven't written a short story or poem for close to three years. I'm surprisingly OK with that.

4. I'd like to move to some chilly metropolis; I'd like to rent an apartment overlooking a landscape of steel and lights.

5. Happiness these days does not last nearly long enough.

6. I'm lying through my teeth about what it really means to me – but I'm so afraid of losing it that it doesn’t matter one way or the other. If this is all it'll ever be, it'll have to be enough.
