8 quirks meme.
wow...this is difficult right off. dang.
1. started into private art lessons very young. drew well by the age of 8. went on to the corcoran college of art, spent 5 years doing ceramics and welding at fkcc, two years of private study with Don Binnes BFA, MFA, and Richard Giglio.
2. big ole foodie. i read cookbooks like bedtime stories.
3. i loathe my job...though i am very good at it. i go out almost every monday pounding the pavement to find a better work option. my goal is to not be waiting tables by next new year.
4. tended bar in gay bars for twenty years. in that time i worked every kind of bar there is, busy, chatty, leather, poolside, and even a week or two at a piano bar (purgatory).
5. related to the last entry...i HATE showtunes. Judy Garland died in the toilet and i am glad.
6. ummmm running out of stuff here. i am the quintesential water baby. swam the length and breadth of lake pettybone daily in the summers as a child. first in and last out daily and yearly. would swim til my lips turned blue in september. and yes as a sexual adult i do have a liking for watersports.
7. was actively involved in the leather scene for a decade or so. i think working in the leather bar for 9 years is a large reason that i have left that behind. still have fantasies along those lines though they have all been requited over the years. i just have a difficult time with folks who live in their head and expect those around them to conform to their fantasy life.
8. i miss florida. it is good to be home and i do enjoy my starter house here. but when i look out at the snow i want to get in the truck and drive back to the keys to stay. to be honest and fair i do realise that i miss what Key West was a long time ago much more than what it has become.
ok...so there...i did it. not tagging anyone but yall are certainly welcome to play along.
