My newest project: eating local to reduce carbon emissions. This idea, along with many other simple actions, are detailed at:

Carbon Conscious Consumer

I've been working out at Meyer Fitness Center here in Springfield, because I finally accepted that my body had bounced back from surgery as well as it could on its own, and was still nowhere near normal. I'm using weight machines, cardio crap, and swimming. It's helping. A lot.

Old news: I'm still suffering from Neopic vision: I'm fruitshirt, fruitshirt_finis, fruitshirt_plus, fruitshirt_redux, fruitshirt_too, egunn2005 (rescued from my nephew), egunn2006 (cuz the fruitshirt moniker was overextended), law_d17 (rescued from my niece Casey), sarahg293 and gunner235 (both salvaged from my niece Sarah) on Neopets. I really enjoy that place. Swing by, check out my pets, and their fab homes.... And if you get hooked on Neopets, you'll find buckets of help and fun info at

Really old news: The big haircut, 10 March 2006, is still available, if yer interested in that....

If you want to get some idea what my work looks like, you can visit With A Twist Creations to see some of the jewelry I've got for sale, as well as some crocheted items. I promise there's a huge site revamp coming soon over there, with proper pictures and everything....

Places you can go

Meet my new close personal friend!

adopt your own virtual pet!

I got him through my pal Lori's blog. She's got a dog named KittyKitty. That's like naming a Burmese python "Fluffy." Oh, wait. I've done that....

I found out that I have to have iUniverse.com's express permission to post the first chapter of my novel online. So, if you want to read it, email me and I'll send it to ya as an attached file. The book's already available through iUniverse.com -- go to their heading "General Fiction" and do an author search for "Clara Gunn."

My upcoming personal appearances: Nothing specific in the works. The only scheduled events are the first and third Mondays of each month, for the Ozarks Area Crochet Group. Anyway, if you'd like me to come sign books, or participate in some, uh, alternative-culture social activity, or something, I'm sure you can find my email addy someplace....

See you soon,

Clara
