about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

  • "Moral of the story: Do not look at the gap. The gap is the mind-killer. Remember how Wile E. Coyote never fell down until he saw the chasm? It’s just like that." --Taylor "Tei" Lindstrom, Rogue Ink

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

I’ve been checking out my Blogger friends’ blogs during my three and a half hour break today, and many of them have inspired me to write!

Janet asks her readers, “What do you want this Christmas season?” One of her readers commented, “A really nice, smart, funny, unattached, emotionally available, hetrosexual, good looking, gainfully employed man under the age of 50 who has all his own teeth and doesn’t live with his mother. That’s not too much to ask for is it?” I actually know one of those, but since every other woman seems to be looking for one, I feel like I should put him away in a box and keep him for a rainy day. You know, just in case.

Oz is pondering the two newest additions to her family. She wants her children to be close in age, and obviously has her priorities in order. I, on the other hand, am flopping back and forth between “I want another child” and “Am I too old to have another child?”

All this talk about babies brings up another point that’s been bugging me lately. Why is it that women who get pregnant feel the need to share it with everyone? Or for that matter, why does anyone with good news to share feel the need to share it with a bunch of people who don’t care? I’m not talking about blogs and things like that of course. If you’re sharing this sort of news on your own blog and I am visiting your blog to read these things, it’s because I’m interested. (And if you’re visiting my blog to read things about me, I assume it’s because you’re interested.) But I frequently read a message board connected with my game that has a section for subjects not related to the game. It’s not uncommon for it to be littered with some little ninny’s boasts of “I’m pregnant!” or “It’s my birthday!” or “I’m graduating in a week and a half!” Do these people have so few people in their life that they need to be congratulated by strangers? I mean, they’re just begging for attention. I happen to LOVE attention. But somehow it’s more satisfying when it comes from people I care about than from total strangers.

SpaceCase is buying toys for a child who might otherwise get nothing for Christmas this year. It makes me think of all the wasted candy and crappy little gifts my boys’ old school used to pass out for the holidays. Not just Christmas, but like every single holiday. I always complained that the kids were getting far too much candy, and that they should be doing something more meaningful. Upon hearing my complaints, my dad pulled out an envelope he was given at the hospital when he was admitted over Valentine’s Day. Inside the envelope were a dozen or so handmade cards from children wishing their anonymous recipients a happy Valentine’s Day. Ever since then, I’ve been wanting to start a similar type program at my boys’ school. But what, exactly? And for whom? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

about this blog

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
