I've visited and/or lived in 39 states!!!

Put an X by the states you have been to. The average is 8; how do you match up?

(I have a hard time believing the average is only 8 states for Americans, but whatever...does anyone have hard, cold data on this?)

Should you chose to play, here's what you do:

Copy my note. Click on “notes” under tabs on your profile page. Select "write a new note" in the top right corner. (Or copy and paste into your blog, however you chose to correspond...)

Paste the copy in the body of the note. Delete my Xs and add your own. Change the number at the top, and add your title. Once you've saved, don't forget to tag friends (including me) on the right. Tag the same # of people as the # of states you've been to (I think you're limited to 30!).
Just for fun, put an O beside the states where you have lived.

If you have time, it would be fun to write notes, tagging a history of your life. (But I'm not guaranteeing anything special!)

Contest within a Contest entry

I'm happy to announce my second Perfect Fifths entry on this blog in a row. As I've mentioned before, I can't do a video, that's why I post the genius winning ones, like the one in the previous entry (from Georgia no less!) and this one:



As long as I'm on a posting roll, I post the final winning video here:



These folks have gotten and advance copy of Perfect Fifths, so I want my chance, naturally. The final story in the saga goes on sale April 14, but is available from places like Amazon.com for pre-order NOW! I'm doing this shamelessly, and only judging myself a little.

Go to Megan McCafferty's website and link to what she tells you to for a chance to win your own copy. Contest details are here.

Good Luck!
