This Post is Sponsored by the Letter "N"...

Kirkersville, OH

My sister Jennifer maintains a blog at www.livejournal.com. In a recent post, she responded to a friend's post in which she was assigned a random letter of the alphabet and instructed to come up with ten words starting with that letter that had particular significance to her and what that significance was. Her letter was "T". If you care to read it, her LJ screenname is jenniferlupin. A number of Jenn's friends asked to be assigned letters for their own blogs. I decided to play along and was assigned the letter "N". I had to ponder this for a couple of days. It's harder than you might imagine. Anyway, here goes...


Name- As in mine. What I go by. John, that is.

Night- Like Sky Masterson said, it's my time of day. I have been an inveterate night owl all my life.

Neil- My Dad's younger brother and family cut-up.

Nailbiting- My nasty habit.

Nick at Nite- My favorite channel as a youngster. Consequently, my knowledge of 50's and 60's TV is far more vast than the things made in my lifetime.

Nibble- Another bad habit. I've always had a problem with maintaining healthy eating habits.

Neurasthenic- Webster's defines this as "affected with or suggestive of mental disorder characterized especially by fatiguing easily, lack of motivation, feelings of inadequacy, and psychomatic symptoms." I'm not in to self-diagnosis, but this is me in a nutshell. Not all the time, mind you, but too often for my general liking. Maybe I need therapy. Or perhaps a good, swift kick in the ass.

Nomad- I've moved a lot in my life. I went to about 12 different schools, mostly in elementary school. I'm almost 28 years old and I've never lived more than five years in any one place and that was by far the longest stint. It's not a complaint, merely an observation.

Noel- A shoutout to my absolute favorite time of year, Christmas.

Notes- That from which music, the center of my existence, is formed.
