25 things
Hey, it was kinda cool trying to come up with 25 things to say about myself. Feel free to try it yourself.
1. Here are some of my favorite things, in no particular order:
Long afternoons of sunlight, a new song I can listen to 25 times in a row, a wicked knitting pattern, making people laugh, those moments when I suddenly become aware of everything, Erte prints, solving a tricky puzzle, a bottle of wine with a friend
2. Some days I go all day without talking.
3. I used to be convinced I would be famous. I still think it's likely.
4. I make my biggest mistakes when I'm trying to be helpful.
5. If I could have a superpower, it would be super-hugging.
6. I love T-shirts with funny sayings, and sometimes dream of having 100s of them in my closet, but I never actually buy them.
7. I hate to clean the kitchen. I hate a messy kitchen. It's a problem.
8. I could stare for hours at a beautiful blue glass bead...except that I get distracted by the red bead next to it.
9. I love that my middle name is Grace.
10. I firmly believe that everything in life can be explained by a Saturday Night Live skit.
11. I tried being a professional organizer, and found out all my clients were freaks...and not in a fun way.
12. I love Johnny Cash, my cat, and baking cookies.
13. I've never been in love.
14. I adore trivia, especially useless trivia.
15. I procrastinate to a ridiculous degree.
16. I sing just well enough to wish I could sing really well.
17. I laugh at bad smells.
18. I live in a swamp, but the desert feels like home.
19. I grew up listening to people tell me I'd never make it because I can't spell. Discovering spellchecker made me cry with joy.
20. I'm stupefied by the bravery of people who have kids.
21. One of the coolest things I ever did was learn to play the cello, which I totally miss, because I can't find a teacher and don't have the money anyway.
22. I was always the last around the track/picked last for the team, except for tennis.
23. I know calligraphy.
24. My dissertation was totally bitchin'.
25. My favorite word is "iguana." Say it out loud. That's so cool.

I tried for 100 things, and discovered I wasn't that interesting. So it's shortened to 50. Still had to dig pretty deep.
I did professional organizing for some of my profs and some others they referred me to. It was a very short stint. VERY disturbed. Those memories are filled with irony now.
I'm finally going to L.A. in March. It's been over four years. I think N.O. should definitely be next. Then I can really say "I knew her when ..."

P.S. what was the subject of your dissertation? (I wouldn't be surprised if it was Star Wars).
It wasn't Star Wars. ;-)
It was on poisoned fictional objects in Renaissance revenge tragedies.
