Week 13: ...and Amy

1. Is this the beginning of the end for this blog?
No!  This is the...interlude.  The intermission.

2. How are you feeling? (illness-wise, and otherwise too if you want)
Illness-wise, I've reached the long period of mostly-fine-still-a-little-sniffly.  Otherwise -- the acute bout of loneliness I was feeling a week or so ago has mostly abated.  I'm still living in near seclusion -- I'm more motivated to get out more now, except first I was sick and now my car's broken down.  But I think once all of that dust settles, I'll start being more social.

3. Excited for upcoming trip to Chicago?
Yes!  I'm excited to see everyone and to get a chance to train, and of course it's always exciting to witness/be part of a shodan test.

4. Do you plan to have a car at SDIC/ST?
I plan to have a plan about it sometime before it happens.  Maybe we can talk about it in May?  I've set up my internship so that it ends the week before SDIC/ST, so I actually have a whole bunch of question marks around that week.  Well, not so much question marks as one big black void.  Like, I know what my life is like now, and I can predict more or less what it'll be like next month, and June, and then July comes and...hrm.

5. What's the most inspirational thing you've heard recently?
Huh.  I don't know.  I don't feel like I've heard anything specifically inspirational, in the forms of quips or witticisms.  I'm inspired by my clients, but it's more their lives than anything specific that they say.  I'll have to keep an eye (an ear?) out.

Week 12: ...and Amy

1. Will you answer Week 11 now that Week 12 has been posted?
Yes.  Yes I will.

2. Since you seem to have so much free time, any chance you can still work on a website for me?
What, all this free time not updating the blog, you mean?  Anyway, yes.  We should talk about getting you a url and hosting, and also what you want.

3. What's the most interesting thing you've read in the past week?
I've started reading When a Heart Turns Rock Solid, which is about three boys/men (it follows them through that transition) who live much of their lives right here in Springfield.  I've only just started, but it has me thinking about dignity, and how important it is to people, and how if they don't have it in one social milieu, they'll gravitate towards another.

4. How was your trip to New York?
It was mostly really great.  I saw Hands on a Hardbody, the musical, which was in previews.  I did two classes at Honbu, and went to the top of Rockefeller Center, which is very high in the air indeed.  I revisited my push-pull relationship with heights there.

5. Do you have a roommate for Special Training?
I don't!  Would you like to be my roomate?  You can help me wake up!  One of my best early-ST memories is of you being my wake-up call.

Week 11: ...and Amy

1. How's the weather up there?

It's spring!  Which, here, means more sunshine, and days that mostly get into the 50s -- though it allegedly hit 60 yesterday.  But then the temperature dropped.  I think the overnight low was mid-20s.  

2. What did you have for breakfast today?
Uh.  Leftover chicken wings from the Chinese I ordered last night.  I was going to go shopping, I really was! But then my car broke down.  So I have very few groceries.

3. Did you take any time off to observe spring break this week?No more than the two days a week I have weekly.  Which, frankly, seems like a lot -- though never enough to get the homework done I have to do for capstone.

4. Have you been to one of those Meet Ups yet?
I went to one.  It was in Connecticut.  Didn't really seem worth it.  But I'm thinking that some of the outdoorsy stuff is going to start happening now that it's Spring (they take this spring thing seriously up  here).

5. How's the femme thing working out?
Well...I got my eyebrows waxed for the first time ever.  And now I have this gaping wound on the bridge of my nose.  So not that well at the moment.
