Seven Questions
I like this variation on the question meme that was last seen over on 
in_the_blue.
My day has kept getting better by the way. I had tasty soup from Whole Foods and all the Dooms over in
milliways_bar which keep making me beam. When Milliways is active and creative, there's no other group of people that I want to talk with, write with and truly create with.
Comment to this post, and I will list seven things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random.
Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.
1. What was your second choice for a career after library science?
Education, I always wanted to be a teacher but it never quite worked for me. One of the big problems was that most programs for learning to be a teacher don't fit well with learning other things. So if I did education as an undergrad, I suddenly had a lot less choice in my classes so I didn't. Then the same thing happened when I considered being a school librarian. The thing thing about being a librarian is that teaching and education is a huge part of it and so that career fits within this one.
2. Cats or dogs, and why?
Cats, always cats, because they don't ask much of you but when they give, they give so much. I grew up with cats, an old tiger kitty who I adored, a young kitten who didn't live long and then Suzi, my tabby who we were each other's. I hope it's not too long before I can have a cat again.
3. Three albums (CDs, whatever) you'd want with you on a desert island, assuming you had some way to play them?
This is quite difficult as the music I like listening to changes so much depending on my mood. Thus these are the three for today.
The Dubliners 40 Years
The Master and Commander soundtrack
Jakob Dylan Seeing Things
4. You can only play one RP character for the rest of time. (I know, it's a Sophie's Choice, but...) Which one and why?
Actually this one's not too hard for me. It would be Will Scarlett, because I've known him in various forms since I was twelve and I could shift him and change him for many games. I actually have done that already and he's always there and waiting.
5. What would you say is your personal style of dress?
Comfortable, simple and colorful. My daily outfit is usually a pair of pants, one of my sweaters that are all in various jewel tones and jewelery to fit the sweater. Today I'm wearing black pants, a red v-neck sweater with a necklace from New Zealand that has a miniature woven kete or basket and earrings that are red with the image of a peacock in them. I love when I find a piece of jewelery that works perfectly with something I own. I do love getting dressed up, pretty skirts make me happy but the main choice for me is always, "Can I walk in it?"
6. What will your next computer purchase be?
Probably some sort of smart phone as I got my beautiful MacBook Pro for my birthday this past summer. Though an e-book reader is also a consideration but I think the smartphone will come first.
7. Do you want kids some day?
Yes, I really do. I love my nieces and spending time with them but I want my own kids. One reason I've always wanted to be involved in education is because it allows me to be around children and nurture and inspire them.
