Out of Normal: About Me....

May 14, 2003

About Me....

In my attempt to share a little bit more about me, I am going to follow the tradition of a "Things list." Not a hundred things, but things nonetheless.

Normal, IL, is my hometown.
Life finally became clear to me last year.
I am 33
My only sibling is 32, she is VERY cool.
We were both adopted by the two most wonderful people in the world.
Growing up is something I will never do.
Many liberal ideas float in my skull, make no mistake, I am conservative.
My skin has no holes or ink in it, yet.
I am bald, Moby style!
Blue is the color of my eyes
My personality type is ENFP bordering INFP.
I was once married to a really cool chick named Cathy.
We never had children.
I have a bachelor of science from Ashland University.
That still cracks me up.
If you give me a great backrub, I will buy you lots of chocolate.
If you buy me lots of chocolate, I will give you a massage that you will NEVER forget.
My sense of humor can be twisted, please don't take offense.
Most people have a filter that prevents them from saying inappropriate or insensitive things.
I don't have one.
Sexy little glasses rawk my world.
I find artistic talent and a good singing voice to be extremely attractive.
Mother Teresa and Ghandi are two of my role models. My mom and grandfather are also heroes to me.
I have played the bass since the 4th grade.
If money did not matter, and eventually it won't, I would like to play the bass in a band that plays at small smokey blues clubs.
I am a photographer.
I am a writer.
I want to take your picture, then write about it.
Shoes and Jackets fill my closets.
DJ Tiesto rocks my soul!
I used to spin records myelf.
Travel is my favorite way to spend my time and money.
Chicago is my favorite city in the US, 2nd would be Monterey, CA.
I have been friends with the same group of people since the 4th grade.
Ones career does not define who they are, what they do with the rest of their day does.
I would rather have inner peace than win a huge lottery.
I have broken all of my toes, both thumbs, and my left leg.
I was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks with chicken pox.
I try to live every day deliberately, and to practice random acts of kindness on the way.
If there is anything else you would like to know, ask away....

April and Pam, thank you ladies so much, it is nice to hear, especially today. It has been a tough month, week, and day, so the very kind words are especially welcomed.

Broch, I knew little about you, except today what I did know, expressions in your post were real, as others I read also. As I read these descriptive phrases, *Smile after smile* you are so open, the phrase that made me smile the most was "My sense of humor can be twisted, please don't take offense. Most people have a filter that prevents them from saying inappropriate or insensitive things. I don't have one." This so reminds me of someone at work, I am thankful for him sometimes because he can brighten my day and then other times I think how can I believe I just set myself up in saying that, and in front of him. Now the question: Could you be in the wrong career field with the chocolate and massages? Thanks for the inner-most you, Broch. It's nice to meet you.

C, I guess that I don't really know who you are exactly, but I am pretty sure that you have come this way via Pam. The career field that I am in, as a technology consultant, is actually a good one, and gives me plenty of time to pursue who I am, not just what I do for a paycheck. I have given great thought as to what I would be doing if I wasn't doing this, and it would be in the professional photo-finishing business, which I worked in all through school. Chocolates and massages just happen to be two of the things that I enjoy very much in life. I don't know exactly how they would fit into a career, and I almost shudder to think that they could! I would be quite tempted to jump ship!

Yes, via Pam No don't jump ship just yet, they do need Massage Therapist on board, I was suggesting to barter for chocolate. *smile*
