For those who have only started following me this year, or for those who have forgotten, my birthday is on December the 8th, I was born in a log cabin, to a humble popcorn mining family. My great-grandfather was one of those carmalized in the great sugar vein breach of '49...wait no, I'm a military baby, and was born on a base here in the states. Also washed out, 4F sort of thing, not the most disappointing thing.

Regardless, for the week before my birthday, I do this thing where I offer you, my lovely watchers/viewers/stalkers/hallucinations the chance to pick an image from my gallery, and I'll write a small short to go along with it, something in the four paragraph range, about 250 Words. Enough to get the point across I think.

Anyway, I'll be doing one, picked at random from the choices you people have given me, so look through, find a favorite, and read the rules below too.

Rules are as follows

1) The large amount of work I posted all at once by the artist I titled [Artist Redacted] a few years back are not eligible for this. You'll know who it is when you see it, but I'm not going to do anything with their work, sorry.

2) Please read the description and make sure it doesn't already have a short to go along with it. A few sentences in the description is not a full short, so I can expand on that, but still, read to make sure...especially since some of them are not quite stories, just me explaining the pics in some of these.

3) While you can suggest some theming stuff to go along with them, I will discuss it with you when I begin if I need to because I'm not open to everything, obviously.

4) These are free, you don't have to be a watcher or anything either, I do this more so I can remind people every day this week about my birthday, so just reading this journal is enough...greed is my sin.
