Oh so easily distracted

I got back from volunteering at the library just after five, and I had intended on jumping into working on the novel for NaNoWriMo (wrote about 1,100 words last night starting at midnight) but decided to play a little Animal Crossing while watching Alfred Hitchcock Presents and from there I was distracted by surfing the internet and playing around on Twitter and various other random sites. So here it is three hours later and I’ve only just opened up the document to work on Book 3. Meh, it happens. And in my case, distraction happens a lot.

Another distraction I decided to share with you involves my glyph. You know, the funny little symbol that’s usually up in the upper lefthand corner of my webpage (currently being replaced by my presidential candidate’s icon). I’m so used to my little symbol that I forget it’s a funny way to sign one’s initials (though that’s how I initialed something at the library roday; they’ll have a field day trying to figure out who that is when they start going through their notes). In the past couple weeks, however, I realized my glyph isn’t altogether that unique. In face, someone signs their name with a part of it looking strikingly similar. Wanna see? First off, here’s my glyph for my initials:

ED logo

And secondly, here’s the person’s signature whose last name bears a striking resemblance to my logo:

Barack Obama's signature

See? See? Fascinating, isn’t it? I was amused. Oh, and in case you can’t read the signature (because it, like my husband’s, is utterly illegible save for a few letters) it’s Barack Obama’s.

And now that I’ve sufficiently been distracted for long enough, I think I’m going to make an attempt at getting back to the novels just as soon as I get a drink of water and dig my notes out of my tote bag. I also need to start chewing Tums because, like the past several days, I have heartburn once again. Yippee. That’ll get me in the mood to write a novel. I’m hoping to finish at least the prologue tonight and maybe start on chapter one. Fun!
