Another dodgy survey

Start the morning off right. There will be photos posted soon, too, I promise :

1. What is your occupation? Unemployed. Hopefully I’ll be an environmental consultant soon. I also occupy my time with free-lance sewing and alterations
2. What color are your socks right now? None at the moment
3. What are you listening to right now? My good friend Rick’s first reenacting caravan CD “Waterloo”
4. What was the last thing that you ate? hmm...some pita and hummus at the hafla

7. How old are you today? 27
8. What is your favorite sport to watch? College Football (specifically the Aggies! Whoop!)
9. Have you ever dyed your hair? Yup. I went strawberry blonde once. Nobody noticed…I’m going with auburn and blonde here in another day or two.
10. Favorite food? Tex-mex. Not that I can get any here in NC.
11. What was the last movie you watched? hmm…I put Hitch in a couple days ago for something to listen to.
12. Favorite day of the week? Saturday. So many possibilities.
13. How do you vent anger? Bitching to an un-interested party. Plotting revenge.
14. What was your favorite toy as a child? Barbie dolls and legos.
15. What is your favorite season? Summer. The days are warm, long, and lazy.
16. Cherries or Blueberries? Blueberries.
17. Who is the most likely to respond? Trent, perhaps?
18. Who is least likely to respond? Faraday
19. What is on the bottom of your closet? Oh lord…Shoes. Some scrapbooking stuff. An obscene amount of fabric. And a slightly less obscene amount of yarn. You can't see the floor.
20. What did you do last night? Performed in public with a bare tummy. Did pretty well, too.
21. Favorite smells? Freshly cut grass. Fresh vegetables. Apple pie. Lavender.
22. What inspires you? For artistic endeavors, history (specifically the clothing) For everything else, the quote “Either you think you can, or you think you can’t. Either way, you’re right.”
23. What are you most afraid of? Roaches.
24. Plain cheese, or spicy hamburgers? Could I have spicy and cheese together?
25. What celebrity would you most like to meet? Edward Lorenz, but he died a couple months ago. (Scientist, so he’s a celebrity to me only). Colin Firth, but only on condition that “meeting” included carnal knowledge. Same’s true for Jason Isaacs.
26. If you knew you had 30 days to live, what would you do with your time? Make sure my family and friends know how much they mean to me and how much I love them. See the pyramids and the sphinx. Take lots of pictures and write lots of things down for posterity, and hide some evidence. ;)
27. All-time favorite cartoon? Alvin and the Chipmunks.
28. Favorite spiritual place to go when your soul needs renewal? The woods. barring that, a walk with good music works. Barring THAT, zoning out to some Hearts of Space can usually refresh me long enough to work through whatever it was that drained me.
29. Favorite mode of transportation? The Duck, hands down. Then again, driving my dad’s car is a hell of a lot of fun.

Week in the Life

So, I'm actually doing it properly this time. Here's the rules:

Aim of the Game: For one week, you are to post photographs taken during the day.
Rules:1. You must take between 6 and 8 new photographs per day.
2. Your WITL must be consecutive. No skipping days.
3. You must post your photographs at the end of that day, sometime after the last picture is taken.
4. Each photograph must have the time taken beneath and a title, with no other explanation.You must post these rules at your first entry, then link back to it for the other six days so that people will know wtf you're doing.Your post must say "A Week in the Life of [your name/username], Volume [whatever day you're on]."

Are you serious?


As I write this, it's 7am. Now, if that's not bad enough, I woke up approximately 15 minutes ago....ON MY OWN....no help from an alarm clock. When did I fall asleep? Sometime around 1:15 am. So let's see...5 hours of sleep, and I'm not tired, and there were no contributions from heavy drugs. Is this what no stress feels like?





I know I've been utter crap at posting. I'm going to get better at it. Promise. As proof, I'm going to re-attempt the week-in-the-life challenge. Starting...well, today works. I tried this back in April, and the most compelling I could do was this:



So, no. Done with that. This week proves to be much more interesting. There's bellydance involved. :)

I'm also officially in the job market. Know anyone who needs a freshly minted graduate student?
