Other people are more interesting than I am today…

… so let me point you in their direction!

anshutian has photos of her hanging at the Great Wall of China.

blankjewels did a Myspace search of Melinda Sordino and turned up 20 hits.

lsparksreader posted the best entry ever about the ALA in New Orleans.

Oh, and note to Patrick Campbell: You asked what makes me tick. That is a wicked hard question. If you asked me that question ten times in one day, you would get ten different answers. So, in a way, the answer I offer is only a piece of the truth, one facet.

Here is the truth about me in this minute, in this place: I love being alive. I want to experience every thing, all emotions at top volume. I want to live hard, live long, live joyfully, and yes, live strong. (Mild ironic Lance Armstrong observation tucked in there.)

I would also like to live without humidity, but this is beyond my powers. It is disgusting out right now. Rain, dammit, rain!

  1. It just rained here for like the 12th day in a row. I am totally gonna catch some rain, nestle it in a tupperware container, and send it your way – it’s still rain until it hits the ground!

    I can also recommend a lively rain dance. Way back when i was a camp counselor, the kids i was in charge of did them sometimes, and even if the dances didn’t bring rain, they sure passed the time!

    In conclusion, i really liked the Melinda on MySpace search!

  2. It was a gradual process for me.

    Probably the most important piece was deciding to stop living my life based on what I thought were other people’s expectations/perceptions of me.

    The next part was choosing to do things that made me happy. This takes a lot of energy at first, but is worth it.

    Do you know what kinds of things make you happy? Specifically?

  3. Not much makes me happy anymore. Little kids/babies still do. Stimulating conversation. Folk music. Waking up next to someone. That’s about it.

  4. It’s a start.

    Maybe you should look for a job singing folk music to intellectually gifted 4 year olds.

    As to the waking up next to someone…. Magic 8 ball says learn to love yourself first.

  5. Very Interesting!

    Totally off topic (or maybe not), but how tickled was I this evening? Very! First, Bob was surprised to find his alumni newsletter in our pouch mail – “how do they keep finding me?” Seriously, alumni associations should moonlight as PI’s or something! Second, he said, “Hey! Look who’s in the newsletter!” It’s you! 🙂 He graduated in ’79. *waving from Shanghai*

  6. Re: Very Interesting!

    Wait – I’m in the newsletter?

    Which newsletter is this?

    Happy 4th, BTW.

    It’s the Onondaga Continuum
    I can send it to you if you want! 🙂 You’re in a section called 2006 Alumni Faces:Personal and professional achievements of alumni honored. Apparently it’s a new display in the hallway of the newly renovated Student Center. It shows your photo and a short bio. 🙂 You look marvelous! 🙂
