How to Tell You're Celtic-Obsessed

We all have our interests, or even obsessions. Take Celtic stuff, for instance. Many people are fascinated with the history, culture, and languages. The question is, how do you know if you're simply interested in a concept, or outright obsessed with it? Well, thanks to this handy-dandy list, now you can know.

Weird Things You See in Public

Sometimes you come across some truly bizarre sights. Whether it's on the streets, in a store, or on the bus, weird things are occasionally spotted. This week, we'll explore some examples of this.

Mornings With a Cat

Recently, I was pet-sitting at someone's house. I was lying in bed asleep, and having an odd dream. Me, my mother, and a friend were doing something. Then Mom and I were about to leave in the car. We had a neighbor, a woman who was like a maternal figure to my friend, and my friend was going to stay at her house.

The friend asked if she could come with me. Thinking she meant walking with me to the car, I said yes. Instead, she got into the back seat with me, and we left.

"Wait, did you even tell her that you were going with us?" I asked.

My friend replied that she hadn't. I suggested calling our neighbor to let her know. I was trying to dial the number, but had the wrong area code the first time, and had to start over. Realizing I forgot the last part of the phone number, I asked, "What were the last four numbers?" Everyone was either giving no reply, or answering with something cryptic and nonsensical. "Fine, never mind then." I finally said in exasperation.

Lost and Found

Several months ago, my mother and I went on a trip. She withdrew some money so she'd have cash for the trip. However, the money was misplaced prior to leaving. We looked around for it, but could find no trace of the elusive green bills. Finally, we gave up on finding it, and Mom was disappointed that she lost such a sum.

Fast forward to Christmastime. We opened gifts at my aunt's house, and upon leaving to go home, we put our presents in bags for easier transport. Later on, Mom looked through the bag, and discovered one of the small gifts was missing. She hunted for it, and asked my aunt if an unclaimed gift had been found at the house, but without luck. To her greater frustration, she soon realized that she had lost not one, but two things.

Signs You're Behind On Writing

Sometimes, you're writing at an incredible pace. Millions and billions of words flow from your fingertips, and you have twenty pages written in a matter of days.
Other times, you just can't get much done. You're not in the mood to work on any of your stories or blog post drafts, you can't focus on anything, or you procrastinate to no end. Here are some signs that you may have fallen too far behind.
