seven random things, no more and no less
by gl. at 1:58 am
diane tagged me with the "seven random things about yourself" meme:
i have a theatre degree. people used to be more impressed with that when i was an "instructional technology consultant."
after i graduated i ran a summer theatre company in pennsylvania and hated it so much i decided i would never move east of kansas again and i would stay with computers rather than theatre. but now i really miss theatre.
when i was younger i owned the world's sweetest doberman who never did anything to anyone but whose mere presence would scare kids who liked to pick on me.
i went to school in a 1-room schoolhouse in the mountains for a year. i loved that place, even if i was just one of two fifth graders. that's where i started getting interested in computers, playing oregon trail & lemonade stand on the apple ][.
one summer i was taking violin lessons and learning how to ride a motorcycle. the motorcycle totally won.
i was going to transfer to a different college based on a dream i had until one of my journalism instructors sat me down and showed me i could graduate in just one more semester. "unless you go to harvard, nobody cares where you get your bachelor's degree," he said.
for whatever reason, almost every xbf i've ever had has ended up in portland at some point.
okay, now i tag... sven, shelley, jeffrey, mph, markalope, alesia & melanie sage!

ok, here ok, I hope:
I group all the items in our fridge by food group, i.e.; dairy, carbs/starches, fruits, salad, sauces, condiments, vs. delicacies like capers and olives. It's true.
I am ambivalent about money and time, preferring to ignore both as much as possible.
From #2 one would conclude that I am generally running behind for things and have little actual money.
I am so over sex (too base/art way more fun), wishing to live like an old crazy cat lady instead, but not wanting to compromise living with healthy normal mensfolk. (I make a lot of assumtions about old crazy cat ladies, don't I?!)
I frequently imagine I'll be happier living "somewhere else" like no matter where I am, I daydream about the next better situation, right now that's a more rural,quiet, pretty place like Portland or Seattle-ish.
I'm taking ballet 4 days a week now, and find it an extropic force to take even more classes and the more I lose weight the fatter I feel I look. uh oh.
I accept life as a great gift about 98% of the time. Sometimes it gets existentially weird to me though. I'll get into a mindspace where the entire matter of existing become an abstraction, and further, makes no rational sense. I mean, what's going on?!

alesia: right on!
shelley: heh, i guess you did tag yourself. "extropic" is a great word, though! :)

That's so funny! Last time you tagged folks on your blog, I checked if you meant me first! hehe! Next time I'll assume you meant Shelley, not Shelley!

oh, wait, no, i misunderstood: i thought you meant that you wrote your random things here rather than on your own blog. but i definitely meant you, shelley! :)
