(no subject)
From kazoogrrl. If you want to do it comment with your age and I'll give you an age to fill out.
Given: 34
I lived in: a house of my own, the only one I ever owned. 1920 Craftsman-style, tho not a true bungalow as it had a full second floor.
I drove: oh lord. A car. Umm, probably a dull maroon Renault w a broken speedometer that ran until we got tired of fixing it?
I was in a relationship with: a guy named Eric who refused to work.. but he was (and is) gorgeous, so no one understood why I eventually dumped him for Sindar. In retrospect, they might've had a point.
I feared: at that point? I couldn't tell you. I was in college, so probably something to do with classes. I worried over whether I should finish school or try to get a job w the skills I had; I chose school. It was the wrong choice. Those, I'm good at.
I worked at: the First College Computer Lab, where I was the resident internet expert. This was 1993, mind you; most people were just learning about Windows 3.1. I did have an email address (gk450@cleveland.freenet.edu) but the web was not anything in regular use.
I wanted to be: now, we'd probably say a web designer/software developer. Only those jobs hadn't quite come into existence then. Or maybe a self-actuating media node, ha ha. Something something multi-media.
Now: 56
I live in: the upper half of a Craftsman-era duplex, in the heart of one of the hippest burgeoning arts districts (more by accident than design). Yes, I am a major fan of natural wood and Craftsman styling; tho much of Cleveland's housing stock dates to then.
I drive: a maroon 2009 Chevy HHR. That I once again am in a maroon car is pure coincidence.
I'm in a relationship with: Tumblr, at the moment. Myself. Finding it something of a relief.
I fear: getting old. I am definitely not prepared.
I work at: several jobs. Primarily I'm the bookkeeper for a small property maintenance company (or two - independent contractor). Sometimes I'm a patient instructor at the Cleveland Free Clinic. I also work with convergence-continuum ("Tremont's only resident theater company"), usually as a costume designer but sometimes doing sound design. Sometimes I'm a living statue. Whatever pays the bills.
I want to be: A self-facilitating media node. HA! I suppose I shouldn't say taller/thinner either, huh? I kinda rather *am* the things I've always wanted to be. I'm thinking about starting a video podcast thing; I run guided meditations for friends on pagan holidays; I craft stuff up in my attic workroom. I suppose I'd like to design & make clothes, but my head is often full of pixies and next week I'll be on to something else.
