2008 - Recap
I try to do this every year -- create a list of important events that occurred in 2008, important both to me and the world. Sadly, my recollection of the world is lacking, and I hope you can help me to remember more.
So ... here's the list:

Defining Myself
i've been thinking about how we (as humanity) define ourselves. Are we defined by our job? Our dreams? A combination of both?
i'm trying this template in attempting to find that definition, what to answer when people say: "what do you do?", which is more of a question of "who are you?" Unless, of course, if it IS our jobs that define us.

Writer's Block: The Wrath of Ohrwurm
My greatest fear of a song is "It's a Small World." My brother and i when we were 9 and 13 got stuck in the ride at Disney for 3 hours. When we emerged, he had a bloody nose and i was wet from the icky water he splashed on me.

Ronan bought me a sideless surcoate and underdress. i wish He would get Himself more things. -
Writer's Block: Your Theme Song
Finishing the Hat by Sondheim would have been it for a good part of my life, and Meadowlark by Schwartz during that time as well.
Now - What a Wonderful World. Hands down. -
Writer's Block: Scaredy cat
It's not really an animal, but any kind of bug/arachnid -- roaches, beetles, spiders, centipedes, all of them. They freeze up my chest and my breathing quickens. i know sensibly they can't hurt me, that i'm much larger, but the fear is overwhelming. ive gotten better about it in that i don't scream and panic, but i also need someone to come and ( Read more... )
