I'll try to stop at 6
I've been tagged by tha super bongo, one of my favorite non-homo-sapien bloggers, to announce to the world 6 quirky things about la lorider. as you may have already guessed, gentle reader, la lorider is just chock-full of quirks. so here goes.....
# 1 quirky thing: I have a scary appetite. I'm not a super-big person, but I can put away some serious food. (lols remember the 7 plates at the Chinese Buffet, BRITEW?) no-one suspects it at first, actually everyone seems to think I'm a nibbling vegetarian (see previous KSA entry). so what a shock it is when people see me nosh! also I get very cranky if I have to skip a meal.
# 2 quirky thing: also I get very cranky if I don't get enough sleep. so basically I have the temperament of a 3-year-old.
# 3 quirky thing: I like to wear camos and Marine Corps t-shirts to yoga class. it kind of freaks ppl out, lols.
# 4 quirky thing: I'm addicted to reading. so be aware that if I'm standing at your desk, I'm reading everything upside-down just as fast as I can. it's not that I'm nosy, I just have to read any and every printed word. I actually found myself reading ESPN magazine the other day!

# 5 quirky thing: I have strangely acute hearing. for example, I can actually hear bats echolocate. it's not great though - I had to ask my downstairs neighbor to take her ceiling fan off the low setting, which was embarrasing. I felt like a stalker...
# 6 quirky thing: everywhere I look, I see... no, not dead people, but like twins. like your double from across the seas? I keep meeting people from far apart who seem so very similar, it's weird. they look similar, talk the same and give out the same 'vibe.' I have two very close friends who could sorta be twins, but they're from opposite sides of the world (and neither one is the 'evil' one). do you believe in this?
anyway, thanks for tagging me, super-bongo! that was super-fun :)

hi ever'body -
I feel so lame for not posting more. I guess I'll just catch you up in one big plop.
january was busy and feb looks to be the same. I'm working on my thesis, which is due at the end of april (eeks!) my ma is helping me on it, as she's an awesome researcher, and I really appreciate the help. also, I'm trying to improve my movement of paperwork at work - I really need to get it under control. and then there's just the normal amount of overwhelmed-ness of teaching.
a great thing at school right now is that we're participating in a program with the local art museum (the detroit inst. of arts: www.dia.org ). it's a multi-visit program of 5 mornings, spread out over 5 weeks. we spend about an hour in the museum, looking at just a few pieces of art, and then we head over to the studio and the kids get to make a project each day! the kids love it, and it is so well organized that it is not the horror-show that most field trips are. usually teachers get back to school after a field trip feeling utterly exhausted, but there are a number of docents and volunteers and art teachers the whole way, so that you don't have to monitor all 25 kids at once, every second. plus they let the teachers make art too!
it's so relaxing to just wander around the museum, see and think about art, and then make art. I wish we could do the program all year! anyway, it's reminding me that I want to do more art on my own and also, to go visit MOCAD, which I haven't been to yet.
the only other news is that I got my new celly from the insurance ppls, and they were able to get me the same model(!) even though it's been discontinued. the software has been just slightly updated from mine, but all for the better. so you can call me again, ppls - but I suspect you're just as busy as I am. it's seriously been a friend-black-out since the new year. (and then I missed pancakes with anon & britew! PANCAKES!!! I mean... I was so bummed to miss my friends!)
hope you're all awesome like me!
peace
ps stay tuned for 6 quirky things about the lorider
