Re-Introduce Myself BlogHop

Today I am taking part in the Re-Introduce Myself Blogfest

Details and links of the other blogs taking part in the, well, link.

So. My name is Vikki.


Please allow me to (re-)introduce myself 
I'm a woman of (not much) wealth and (I’d like to think some) taste 
I've been around for (I’m not telling you how many) years
Stole (my boyfriend’s heart)
And I was round when …

Okay I can’t keep this up. Rolling Stones I salute you and your song lyrics.

How about...

I'm a writer, I'm a fish-keeper,
I'm a lover and I'm a bag buyer.
I write my words in the evening.....

This isn't working either. Steve Miller Band, I salute YOU.

I'm a Londoner, a thriller writer (mostly YA), a 9-5 worker. I enjoy Revenge and Supernatural and any TV Show with superpowers or aliens in it, pretty much. I'll be excited when the new Star Wars comes out, however foolish that may turn out to be. I like to chat about writing. I'm just getting into Twitter though I've been on it a while. I am part of the Writer Diaries.
This year I'm aiming to be positive. I'm Celebrating the Small Things on a Friday, because I think they're worth celebrating.
I like meeting new people, and getting to know more about those I do know, so please - re-introduce yourself in the comments!

  5. Writing songs is like the most difficult thing to do. I think Celebrating Small Things is great! Nice to meet you again, Vikki.

  6. Why helllooooooooooo Vik! You made quick work of the Stones and Steve-oh up there and I must admit I'm suitably impressed. Your blog header rocks, too. So in short, may I say it's lovely to meet you and best of luck with your writing. It's tough to work full time and write, I know! Keep up the great work and LOVE all the PINK round here!

  7. I'm kind of envious that you're a Londoner. Sadly, my dwelling place is a middling city in Alberta. O_o And I will also be happy when the new Star Wars movie comes out...assuming J.J. Abrams does mess it up. :)

  8. Funny post. I've done my share of lyric swapping and it's challenging. I'm celebrating small things on my blogging Fridays because they are worth celebrating.

  9. I love you for trying BOTH of those songs. You were doing quite well!

    ReplyDelete

  15. I was a huge Supernatural fan, too, but I haven't really gotten into this season so much. It seemed kind of soap-opera-ish. But I do love me some Winchesters, so I like to break out the re-runs. Are you a fan of Fringe? The series finale just ran recently, and I'm trying to console myself. There's not enough science fiction on TV.

  16. Nice to meet you! I think I'll be Celebrating the Small Things, too. Great idea! I'll wait and see how Star Wars does...

    ReplyDelete
  17. Good to meet you! And thanks for stopping by my blog. :) I love that you write YA, because it's my favorite type of book. Well...aside from the Black Dagger Brotherhood, of course. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I love the same TV as you? Do you watch Haven? Great season ender.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Good try, Vic!
    Let me try...
    A modern-day Ninja
    Mean mean stride
    Today's Captain Alex...
    Oh heck! Rush, I salute you!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hehehe! It's great to get to know more about you. I love Supernatural. Awesome show.

    ReplyDelete
  21. It was a really good try anyway! I've had Sympathy for the Devil in my head all day because of this blogfest. I don't watch Supernatural, but I love Revenge. That is MY specialty! And my motto: "The hell of revenge, the hope of redemption..."

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love your entry and how you attempted to make it into lyrics! I've not watched Supernatural, but everyone says good things about it. I might have to start. :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. I just started watching Supernatural! I'm in the second season.

  25. I love the songs you chose to mimic. I'll be humming them all day now, thank you. ;)

    Small things are exactly what we should celebrate more of. Makes life grand.

  31. Fun post! It's the second one I've seen to reference the Stones song. Don't see many YA thrillers about, so that's intriguing!

    ReplyDelete
  32. HI, Vikki,

    Really nice to meet you. I LOVE that you want to celebrate the small things in life! WIth so much unhappiness in the world these days it is so needed to enjoy every little bit of joy that comes our way.

    I also like your sense of humor. That is SOOO needed by any writer.

    Looking forward to reading you work and getting to know you better.

    Michael

  33. I love your aim to be positive! And although I've been making snide comments about Disney doing Star Wars, picturing Luke singing "A Whole New World", etc, I am looking forward to it too . . .it's hard to explain that combination of intense fandom and making fun of it all at the same time.
    Great re-introduction - like that you tried different things!

    ReplyDelete
  34. ohhh, an evening writer, huh? that's when the words really come out to play!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Tammy - definitely an evening writer. I admire people who get up at 5am to write but it doesn't work for me!

    Tyrean - ha ha Luke singing Whole New World! Now that's in my head ;)

    Michael - it is very nice to meet you! Thank you for visiting.

    Anthony - hello!

    Nick - couldn't resist the Stones ref.
