Anyone know where I put my turntable
We did had an 8-track on our stereo, but my parents mainly listened to records. I ad all my "kid" music (Sesame Street and Disney) on vinyl. I even bought my very first album, Debbie Gibson Out of the Blue, on vinyl. I remember it just had a different sound to it. As a person who works in the "music" industry now, I am grateful for digital music and that I can carry all the songs I need on a hard drive. However, I do miss the sound of the needle on the grooves.
Hmmm...JImmy Johns
I love take out food, but generally I steer away because well do I really need a whole pizza or enough Chinese food to meet the $10 minimum for delivery? However, I have found an alternative. It might not be the best for me, but it works. Jimmy Johns is fabulous because: 1) I love all the veggies and topping selections. 2) You can fin something for everyone 3) The bread is fabulous. 4) If I am being good and want to bypass the bread I can get it in a lettuce wrap instead. 5) They deliver 6) They deliver to my desk at work as opposed to just calling me from the lobby (a huge bonus when we are busy) 7) You can order online
Identity Crisis
Ever since I turned 30, I've been having this little identity crisis. I'm not sure if it is just insecurity, or if I'm really just putting things into perspective. I am starting to look around and wonder what the heck I am doing here. I sometimes feel like I have three lives pulling me in different directions and that I only actually fit in one of them. Life 1: The somewhat disgruntled secondary education employee. I have these goals of moving higher in the organization. I really do like helpig my students, but sometimes I feel like I am trapped. I want to give high quality work, but I'm feeling like this is a one sided relationship. That being said, it pays my bills and keeps a roof over my and the fids heads. Life 2: The Freelance Writer/Editor/Web Designer geeky girl. This is where I feel most at home. I love to write. I wish I had more time for photography, and I'm actually pretty good at web design. I love this life, and I wish it was the one I lived all the ti...
It is amazing how things change: fiction
One minute, I have my story all figured out. The next one new idea changes every thing. It opens the door to new characters, eliminating characters, or changing core elements. Sometimes you find yourself at a crossroads: where do I go and what do I change. Do I keep a character? Do I add a character or just make a new one? Do I make her a villain or a truly nice person stuck in the middle. Yes the villain creates more drama, but at what point is there too much drama? Maybe making the other woman too nice will create the conflict needed. Back story…character tie ins…eh maybe we can use that later. I like the whole idea of the female lead knowing someone in this new story. I know that was the whole basis of the initial story idea, but now I am starting to think that may be a hindrance. Do we need the whole elaborate past, or can this new idea make up for all of this? So now I find myself looking at what I have, the new ideas, and how to make it all work. Sometimes I wonder how I ma...
I'll take a tattoo of a nightmare before christmas – just for a week
Lets just pretend I could get over my fear of needles, and my worries about tattoos, and I could have one for just week. Now this would be a huge undertaking seeing how needles just about put my blood pressure through the roof. I guess I would get something from A Nightmare Before Christmas. Nightmare before xmas disneyland I don't know where I would put it. I mean I'm not exactly one to show off skin. Maybe it will go on my shoulder or my ankle? I'm not sure I would keep it though. I am not sure if permanent tattoos are for me. I love well done ones on other people, but having my own makes me nervous. One I don't have a boo show one off and I change so often I'm not sure what I pick now would be what ld want on me forever.
Dream Journal 1
Well after a week, the strange dreams keep coming. I wish I could remember them all, but I did manage to get a few down on paper. All of these are reoccurring dreams. Proof work is getting to me: In one reoccurring dream, I'm constantly working on these laptops from work…but I am not a work. I'm at home, out with friends, and yet I am on my cell phone talking to my boss as I fix these laptops. The reoccurring one that scares me the most is the one where I am still in bed, but my legs are too heavy and tight to function. I can't get up. Someone from my past suddenly shows up at a karaoke show, and I am obsessed with showing them I am better off than I was the last time I saw them. It is like I am back in high school and I am trying to show them how awesome I am. There is never a real great reason why they are there, but suddenly I am trying to convince them how happy I am. The last one is the one where the long lost family member is there. They tell me they are there to meet...
My first plane trip, from Detroit, MI to Paris, France
It was the summer I turned 16, and I was all ready to take my first flight. I was ready for three weeks in France, but I was a little worries about the flight. I was actually a little afraid of flying. I mean I had a 9 hour flight to Amsterdam, a lay over and then another flight to Paris. Nothing like making your first flight a flight over the Atlantic. You might as well make it a big splash right?? I was terrified, but as luck would have it, I ended up getting bronchitis right before the trip. My doctor gave me a cough syrup with codeine. That was blessing. Our flight took off out Detroit at 10 pm. and took the codeine shortly after take off. I remember the in flight movie starting and that is about it.I remember my friend Keith waking up and making me walk around the plane. I remember the flight attendant waking me up and having me eat, and then we were landing. Honestly, it was great. I woke up In Amsterdam rested and without jet lag. It was a perfect start to the trip. ...
From the Past
I went a little scanner happy this week...ok a lot scanner happy this week. Here are some blasts from the past!!!
Asia, here I come
I can't wait until I can afford to go to Asia. I'm most interested in going to China or Japan. Asian cultures have always amazed me, and I think it would be awesome to experience it first hand. China has always been on the top of the must see list. My interest in Japanese is newer, but I almost think I'd rather go to Japan at this point. I am vfery interested in the fashion and the technology...okay and the sushi.
