About Me |
|
"So," he said, settling into the chair across the table from me. It was that awkward, blank time that follows just after an early arrival and just before an actual event. He had a confident smile and asked a light-hearted question. "Tell me about yourself." It seemed a simple question. And yet, it always made me squirm. "What part?" I asked. His eyebrows closed in, his smile widened. "How about you in general?" In general? In general what, exactly? I gave the only answer I felt I could truthfully give. "I suppose I am what I do. And if perception is reality, then I suppose I am what I'm perceived to be." He wasn't smiling as much. In fact, he looked confused. He wasn't leaning back comfortably in his chair anymore, either. Now, he was leaning on his elbows over his clasped hands. "Well, what do you like to do?" he asked. I didn't have a single answer to that, either. I said, "Oh, lots of things." and offered a smile. He shook his head slightly, snorting ever so quietly. "Those are some pretty vague answers." "Those were some pretty vague questions." I said. People began to file in. He looked at his watch, and then back at me. I could see it in his face. He thought I was being intentionally enigmatic. I smiled as best I could through slightly trembling lips. I only meant to be truthful. I could have given insincere lines about how tall I was, or if I was male or female, but he could easily answer those questions himself. If I tried to tell him about my character, it might have been true one minute, and a lie the next. The same with where I live, or what my passions are, my family life, or pets. And, even if none of that changed, it could, and I'd still be me. In fact, I've never been able to define the constant that makes me who I am. The best I could offer him about who I am was time to decide for himself and to find a familiarity in me, which was more time than we had in the passing minutes between the shifting of lives.

My Interests |
|
Hmm, I'm finding I have ALOT of interests in art in most forms, from photography, paintings, drawings, and the like, to writers, and some musicians, but not enough on that one. My friend, Roland, often looses me when he starts talking music. Besides, in my limited experience, musicians are far more moody than other types of artists, so it makes it hard for me to get along with them. But, I also like to build stuff around the house, and have a growing collection of powertools, none of them are pink (usually, if they are pink, they burn out before they get that screw in). Also, I'm into going to church , and serving there, and, to the chagrin of a number of my writer friends, I'm pretty conservative, in fact, I vote Republican. But don't hold it against me, I won't hold it against you!:) ..

I'd like to meet:..Hmmm.... I like artists of all kind. I'm not so much concerned with the skill as the drive, though. Have Facebook ? So do I! Add me and give me a reason to check that place more often. The Scrapbooks of M |

Night Shyamalan, and most of Tim Burton, The Thing (Kurt Russell remake), The Burb's, Mr. Mom, The Scream Trilogy, Matrix Trilogy (yes even the 3rd one), Star Wars (all), Lord of the Rings (all), The Harry Potter movies, Alice in Wonderland (Disney movie), most of the Alien(s), Predator, Poltergiest, The Craft, The Dark Crystal, The Never-Ending Story, Donnie Darko, Evolution, Bravehart, The Mummy (Brendon Frasier), Pitch Black, The Spiderman movies, Batman Begins.....man, I could be here all day.OLD MOVIES: Harvey, It's a Wonderful Life, Arsenic and Old Lace, Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, Miracle on 34th Street. I'm finding I'm a huge fan of Jimmy Stewart. I AM57% BUMBLEBEE Take the Transformers Quiz As an Autobot spy, Bumblebee is the ultimate robot in disguise. What he lacks in size and strength, he makes up for with courage. He enjoys the company of humans and would do anything for his Earthly friends.Like Bumblebee, you are good by nature. But beware because mischievous thoughts sometimes tempt you. Your leadership skills are weak at best. You will never be the commander of the Autobots. In addition, you use technology when you need to, but you do not embrace the latest trends. |

Books:Some of my favorite authors, in no particular order:M. T. Bennett,John Howard,Josh Fiction,Julia Press-Simmons,Dawn Corley, Joel Turpin, Netherscape Legend,Jane Eisenhart,T.G. Reaper,Sarah,Ed Barney Jr.,Dave Diotalevi,Alan Hutcheson,G.M. Lupo... Let me try to be a little more expansive here, though. I'll name the books if I haven't read more than a book or two by them. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Watership Down, Robert Louis Stevenson, still trying to digest H.P. Lovecraft, Moby Dick, Michael Cricton, Mark Twain, The Cronicles of Narnia series, Clive Barker (I've only read his short stories, though), Charles Dickens, and a whole lot of children's books. I can't help it. I think they are way overlooked as great pieces of literature. A.A. Milne is a classic example of that,but also, Roald Dahl. For poetry, Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein (them, my sister, and Emily Dickenson are about the only caliber of poetry you'll find me reading. If it uses too many flowery words I'll instantly hate it.) Hmm, for someone who really likes to read, I can't really come up with all of them. Mostly, I just say, yes please, as long as it's not mostly chick lit. I'm not really entertained by all those feminine wiles... Jo Frost and the Townsend/Cloud team top the nonfiction list. |
