getting to know you (part two) (for me)


i'm late, i'm late for a very important date....

1. What's the best place you ever lived? the worst?

the best place i have ever lived
is the house i live in
right now
because it is ours.

my parent's house is not included in this
for me because it would be too hard
for me to choose between
this home
and that one.

the worst place i ever lived was
an apartment behind a convenience store
in which the heat was constantly kept too high,
the walls were too thin for privacy,
tempers flared,
and a gun was kept in the storage closet.

2. What's the best place you ever visited on holiday/vacation? the worst?

i am going to have to say a three girl road trip to south carolina
in a little blue izuzu truck immediately following a horrible break-up
was my best vacation.

my worst...none really,
i don't travel much
and every place i have gone has
more good memories than bad
even the camping trip when i
forgot the tent.

3. What's the best job you ever had? the worst?

i have had so many jobs that i have loved...
manager of a record store (earning me the name "radioland girl"
at all the bars), manager of a bookstore in which you could
sign out books to read, assistant photographer at a photo studio

worst? well...the hell job at mcdonalds in which i was "hostess
manager" and had to ride an elephant through the drive through
(i am so going to tell this story someday)(this job also earned
me the name "mcdonald's girl" at all the bars which i did not
like so much as "radioland girl")
the assistant photographer had some rough stressful moments.

4. What's your best talent or ability? your worst?

i think i am generally open minded with a good sense of humor
and i live more on the optimistic side rather than pessimistic.
i have alot of ideas.

my worst....i suck at follow through.

5. What's the best decision you ever made? the worst?

to wait for my husband...to beleive in him and what he
was telling me...things were rough for awhile when we first
met and there was a period of time while i was pregnant
that he was gone (he had no choice in this) and i waited for
him even though so many people were skeptical...and now,
it's been 12 years that we have been together and no one
could imagine it any other way.

the worst....to take the early childhood education course
instead of the higher paying dental assistant....(i'm sort
of kidding)(but not really)

Bonus (so we can end on a positive note!): What's one good thing about you that isn't covered in the questions above, but that you'd like to share with the world?

i love cartoons.

you know what.

i
think
i might
just
do
this.

and i have taken
my first class
in community school
crochet...
it was,
um...
interesting...
as the elderly grandmother type instructor
with the heavy accent
physically pushed and pulled at my
useless
hands poking the unwieldly crochet hook
this way and that
saying "no...too loose! no....go through 2 holes,
2 holes! now three! now three!"

and the look of shock on the faces of the
instructor and the one other woman besides
me braving the crochet class
when i said i had two children aged 7 and 11...

staring at me open mouthed momentarily
and then the instructor saying
"no. no. you look high school. you look too
young"
and the other woman saying she thought
i was 17.

a sweet nice compliment which i love
but no...i didn't start having babies
at six....

oh...and how 'bout a delurking?
huh? how 'bout it? you feel like it?
go on, leave a comment,
it would make me smile...
:)

seven likes video games...
and tools...and taking things apart...
and putting things together.

he came in our room the other night
with a little toy drill
and some scheme in mind
of making some kind of video game
which would be cool, he said,
because then he would have his
own virtual screwing game.

heh.

he has also been singing
(very earnestly, i might add)
the first part of my chemical romance's
welcome to the black parade...
it melts my heart every time.

his second favorite song...
pain by three days grace.

that's my boy.

there is a great new virtual hang-out
called create a connection
that offers prompts and ideas and support...
by some of my favorite bloggers!
it is hosted by melba
and you should totally check it out!

deb r from red shoes rambling is a guest blogger
for wednesdays
and she offered this prompt for "getting to know you"
so here goes:

1. I have never wanted to _hunt_ ; but I've always thought I might like to __rock climb_.

2. When I was _15_years old, I believed _in santa_ .

3. If I was my own best friend, what I would enjoy the most about spending time with Me would be __that i can be interesting__; while what I'd find the most irritating would be that i have
a tendency to be anti social .

4. If the story of my life up to this point was being published tomorrow, it would be titled "_inside out and upside down" and it would be dedicated to _my husband .

5. When my time on Earth is over, and the people who loved me are remembering me, it would please me if they said _they genuinely missed me, that i touched their life in some way .


wow.
i have to say,
that was a lot harder than i expected it to be...
i think i should have waited until i had been
awake a little bit longer
before attempting that...

now go create a connection!
