Writer's Block: Where in the World...

[Error: unknown template qotd]

(I remember answering a question like this before. I just wonder where and to whom.)

I'd probably have half a dozen places around the world to live. I'd write books and produce movies and get involved with loads of special projects.

International Gypsy Day

April 8th is International Gypsy Day--I found this while looking up information related to my geneology and things of that nature. The man who brought my surname to America was deported to Massachusetts as an indentured servant because he was a Gypsy. Unfortunately for me, I don't know if my bloodline connects with his...I've only been able to trace my family tree to about the middle of the 19th century--about two centuries short. I doubt I could rejoin the Gypsies if I could trace the line all the way back any more than I could join the Seneca Indian tribe (my mother is the grandchild of a Seneca, so while I have Seneca blood, it isn't enough under their rules to join them).

A friend in adolescence who knew a little about palmistry examined my hands and told me that I had some psychic power--but the trait is only shown on my left hand, not my right. So my predictions of the future are very erratic.

But in theory I can hurl Gypsy curses. Maybe I'll throw some around on the 8th. Anybody want something smitten by the Curse? Come see me on the 8th and we'll make a deal!
