Implementing Bad_idea_jeans' use of FNs
As I told Erik tonight, sometimes I feel like I’m a peeping tom. Well, at first, I compared myself to G-d FN1 looking down below, but then I deflated my ego to peeping tom level. (This is after Erik professed how I was a g-d-send because I picked him up when he was stranded at the bus stop 10 minutes before class started – only to drop him off at 9:00 a.m. on the dot).
First I’ll take more of a detour then I’ll come back to my point…
So at the auction tonight, I kept making up descriptions of myself. Check it:
Q: Why can’t I plan a summer trip in February?
A: I’m not a planner in advancer.
Q: Why did Erik compare me to the Fiddler from Fiddler on the roof?
A: Because I am a bringer togetherer.
Yes, we were talking about my bringer-togetherer skills, which I’ve honed since freshman year of college (probably earlier, in fact, I can remember making a match on the see-saw when I was in lower school FN2 but we’ll stick with post-drivers license age).
These skills are pretty self-explanatory but to sum up, they allow me to bring like kin together. Sometimes though when I bring cool people together – they like being together so much I begin to feel like an outsider. I’m outside watching really cool people become really good friends. And, I know I can join in but sometimes I forget how.
Don't get me wrong, I like bringing cool people together. It’s my greatest character flaw. It relegates me to a perpetual state of plasma. And, I understand that to keep the PH at 7.4 is important but sometimes I just want to be involved in the action– sometimes I really just want to be part of the group that gets to carry oxygen. FN3
Now Playing: Odyssey and Oracle by the Zombies
Comment about my Now Playing:
- Matt E. introduced me to the Zombies some time ago. I had heard of the Zombies but I always figured they were “scary” – both from their name and because all famous bands that I don’t know too well but feel like I should know well scare me. Example: Pearl Jam.
- I find them delicious to my ears.
- I love how the #1 song’s first line is “Good Morning to You…”; the perfect first line to wake up to
- From the liner notes:
Shakespeare said
“Be not afraid;
The isle is full of noises
Sound, and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twanging instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices”
Really music is a very personal thing; it’s the product of a person’s experiences. Since no two people have been exactly alike, each writer has something unique to say. That makes anything which is not just a copy of something else worth listening to.
FN1: Gotta love Hebrew school for teaching you how to spell G-d and still be able throw out the piece of paper (website?)
FN2: private schools housing grades K-12 have lower school, middle school and upper school – at least mine did
FN3: I don’t know science. I studied English and economics in college.
