(no subject)
I am stealing this little survey from my awesomely wonderful friend Lea :)
1. What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was a sophomore at Portland State, majoring in Drawing/Painting/Printmaking ...which I've always thought was a ridiculous name for a degree. I always feel like it takes me five minutes just to say it! I think at that point I was enganged and living with Gary in a little apartment off of Clay Street downtown, on the 4th floor (with no elevator, mind you) God I hated that place.
2. Things that I would do if I were a billionaire:
I would buy home on a decent piece of land here in the Towson/Loch Raven area, and a second home in Portland (so I can see my friends and family all the time!) I would have a fund set up immediately for Ashtons' college of choice. I would buy my mom a house of her own. Work wise: I would set up a free after-school and summer arts program for inner-city middle and high school kids here in Baltimore. Oh, and if that's not enough to keep me busy I would start my own no-kill cat shelter which has always been a dream of mine :)
3. Places I have lived:
Wilbur, Oregon (From age 0-13)
Roseburg, Oregon (From age 13-18)
Portland, Oregon (From age 18-23)
Baltimore, Maryland (From age 23 to now!)
4. Random musing #1:
Sometimes I think I would like to be a real estate agent. I’ve always LOVED just seeing and going into houses. I have almost a small obsession with it actually. When I drive by houses I try to imagine the layout of the rooms inside. Sometimes I’ll look up houses online just for fun. I know that now would probably be very bad timing to start into real estate - it’s just something I’ve thought about for the last couple of years.
5. Random musing #2:
I am so exited about getting the new Portishead album I ordered! I didn’t even know they HAD a new album until last week. I have fond memories of their first album, which came out when I was 15. That summer I was doing an internship with an archeologist at the BLM in Roseburg. Once the head archeologist found out that I could draw - he asked me to reillustrate the archived artifacts. SO I spent most of the summer doing scientific illustration of arrowheads, spearheads and bowls and mortars - all while listening to ‘Dummy’ nonstop on my headphones. I always associate stippling and hatching drawing techniques with Portishead now….ha, ha
6. Random musing #3:
I have been so extremely homesick for the last couple of weeks Maybe it was all the news hype talking about the primaries in Oregon coupled with the fact that I haven’t been home in two years. I miss my family and friends, the evergreens and mountains, the beautiful Bandon by the Sea, the plethora of fabulous coffee houses, fries from Dots, the Buffalo Exchange and Red Light, Powells, Shari’s strawberry pie, biscuits and gravy from the Pancake House….I could go on…..
