how could you tell?

two memes stolen borrowed from brutti_ma_buoni and ruuger:

My "Job" description (which devolved into me trying to summarize my thesis) using only the most used 1000 words:

I want to be a teacher of books, so right now I study books every day. And to be a teacher the next thing I will do is write about books from another place in a long piece that I hope will be a book some day.

That long piece is about many different things. It is about the next form of human life. It is about art that shows memories of a time, not the past, and not the present, but some other time. It is about how women who write have changed what we know about the next form of human life, and about how the reason why that next form of human life will always be about men and women no matter what other form it takes. And I think about how the people who write books about these things are also changing the way they write.

... that was weird.

And, this one is for you dear readers:

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. [Some people I know lots. Some people, if they're reading this, gave birth to me.] But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's Parker ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.) Then post this in your own journal if you feel inclined. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer

No No NO! That's not what I meant... because I am not the target audience for your thesis. I mean I understood it when I read it back then. I just have a much better idea now. Remember, I'm not a snooty academic (and I mean that in a respectful and loving way) that you have to impress. They way you address the Thesis committee and they way you casually tell friends is totally different. I just have a better understanding, because it involved very little thinking. :)

It's definitely special to me. I am not religious in the sense of a one religion to rule them all - no, no, no. Maybe I am more of an animist, I don't know. But it's definitely a strange thing that happened. And I was surprised when I talked to my dad about it and he revealed that he also has spirit guides and he knows all three of them. One is a snowy owl, one is fox, and I can't remember the other one. I definitely know my otter. The hawk is one of my guides as well. We have a ton of red tail and cooper hawks around here.I know I have one more that I haven't met yet. It's just out of my grasp and I need to be patient, but I am pretty sure it's a big cat of some kind.

I like Adam Lambert's first album too. I really wish he would do a cover of "The Show Must Go On" by Queen. I mean seriously. When they did Queen on AI, I thought that was the one he should've done. Sigh.

Very cool. I've always wanted to do the backpack across Europe thing. But I've resigned myself to traveling in Europe. And I agree, every person should experience a foreign country at least once in their lives, and when they do it, immerse themselves in the culture. Leave America at home.

For a dabbler, I have to say you are far more talented than several designers I know!
