When I’ve considered writing about myself – be it a blog or a formal autobiography – I’ve taken as givens that I needed two essential things before I began: answers; and a good stopping point (i.e, “insert ‘happily ever after’ here“).
However, my life to date – especially the past four years, has shown me – answers are ephemeral items that mostly breed new questions; and every time I think I’ve hit an end point, it’s just a stepping-off place for new adventures.
And I’ve had a few adventures. In random order: Tango. Tokyo. Quantum Theory. Networking. Writing. Unexpected Actress. Star Trek, Stargate SG-1. Argentina. Kiribati. Event Producer. Sociology Major. St. Louis, San Francisco, Honolulu, Dallas. Administrator, Entrepreneur, Auto Mechanic, Account Executive, Dance Instructor, Vice President, Partner. Jeopardy enthusiast, obsessive reader, Daily Show devotee, fashionista, self-proclaimed “snotty intellectual”…in four-inch stillettos.
How does one get all of that into a cohesive narrative?
Perhaps by giving up any pretense at cohesion, and inviting you, dear readers, along for the ride.
Stay tuned for future installments, when I answer questions I’m frequently asked such as: why on earth did you leave Hawaii? For Texas? What’s a nice girl like you doing with several well-thumbed books on Quantum Physics in her collection? and, What’s that bizarre apostrophe doing in your name?
Love it!!! Yay, you joined the blogging world
I can’t wait to read more!
What is that bizarre apostrophe doing in your name?
What a way to entice me to read more! You have a wonderful way with words. I am definitely intrigued.
I can’t vouch for the mucus-membrane claim, but everything else looks in order…
I look forward to your future installments!
Sincerely,
Dear Reader
PS. The answer is 42…
Girl, you definitely got me whupped in the adventures category. Even if “they” made size-13, 4” stilettos (in camo), I’m pretty sure I would still have to pass. I prefer staying on my toes out of choice (and, I don’t want to find out that I do not possess the balance). I also didn’t do the unexpected actress thing. (didn’t want it bad enough.)
“Sociology Major”… (explains a lot).
I was looking over your list of locations, achievements and obsessions and trying to imagine a backdrop for your narrative. And outside of a kosmic pinball-machine (void of.., ALL relativity), I seriously have no suggestion. Sorry.
Sooo, with installments of your autobiography, please begin with who lit a bon-fire under your caboose before the age of 2, how many older brothers did you have, what was your mom’s diet when she was pregnant with you and what music was being played while you were in your 2nd and 3rd trimester. You know. The usual. (You can do the apostrophic thing later… once you have properly prepared us of course.)
Do be gentle.
p.s. if Vice and President are a single achievement, editing the web-page to present them on the same line may help the reader understand. (With everything else that is listed here, I personally am not certain which way(s) to assume.)
I’v always wanted to know more about how you got where you are. Great Idea!!!
wow, thanks for sharing, you are a rock and roll women, you have seen things and done things. you are living life to the fullest. rock on yeah yeah yeah
