The lovely Vixen tagged me. I'm supposed to tell six things no one knows about me. I have a ton I haven't spewed here, but it's remembering it on the spot that's tricky.
1. I lost my "flower" at age 22.
2. I still feel guilty that my CPR skills didn't save my grandfather...even though, intellectually, I know no one's breath would have saved him.
3. The buds on the yucca plant in my backyard look like glands, and that bothers me.
4. I believe in God, but I think humans fuck up religion.
5. Two of my high school students in NC came to me with their problems. I saved them, and that responsibility is what drove me from public school teaching.
6. I strongly believe that the more you learn, the less you know. It's a wonderful confusion when binaries crumble.

Right there with ya on #4, hon. We are a motley bunch, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteAs far as #1, have you tried reminding yourself that at least you tried to save him? That's more than a lot of peeps would do, because most peeps don't know CPR. We're a sacred bunch.
And if I had a plant outside my window that looked like it had human glands, I'd be digging that sucker up, cuz, well, that's nightmare food! LOL
Crap, that #1 should be #2. I really need to work on my short term memory problems...it can be rather m-bare-ass-ing. ;)
ReplyDeleteI remind myself, Vix, and most of the time it works. But there's still that lingering sense of regret and guilt. I think it's inevitable when you want someone around so badly.
ReplyDeleteAnd the plant had better be pretty to make up for this gland business, that's for sure. :)
I'm with you on 4 and 5. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteDo you need me to send you some flowers for the one you lost?
ReplyDeleteRight on, Sole.
ReplyDeleteOs, nah. I don't miss it.
andi,
ReplyDeleteyou are wise indeed. And a babe.
Todd, as long as I still maintain my babe status, all is right with the world. Now if I was just ASLEEP.
ReplyDeleteNumbers 4 and 6, baby.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in any of the major religions' tenets. I have my own.
But I'm really afraid Scientology might just be catching on...
Ha, just kidding.
ReplyDeleteWait, I meant to say I do believe in them, I don't believe in their ideologies.
ReplyDeleteShit. I should go back to bed. My eyes are all puffy from crying and I've smoked far too many cigarettes...
Awww, hugs for Chicken.
ReplyDelete#4!
ReplyDeleteSins, nice heels you have there. I'd kill myself in those.
