Stardate 10/20/2005 (I are smart)

Today the girl I work with told me she thinks that I am "the smartest person (she) has ever met". She said the "truthfulness of the things (I) say about the American people" amazes her. I was speechless. I was also a little sad for her. She should really get out more. ;)

She's a sweet girl though. I love her accent (She's Bosnian) and she seems to really know her stuff. It's nice working with people who actually work and aren't slacking off all the time!

So my Mom says that I should write more "personal" things on my blog but to tell you the truth there is not a lot to tell right now. I wake up at 6am every weekday... I drive in to the next town over (fighting traffic)...I work all day (doing meaningless tasks)...I come home and make dinner, sew, watch TV, blog and eventually fall asleep watching The Daily Show. It's not much but it's my life...Sigh. The best part of my week is the one day Scott and I have off together. We have breakfast together, drink way too much coffee and talk about all kinds of nonsense. It's great.

Three Things I Wish I Could Change About My Current Life:
1. I wish I could use my degree and get a job I really like.
2. I wish I could go to a doctor and get healthy.
3. I wish I had friends to hang out with.

Here are the answers to the Four Truths and Four Lies:
(Thanks to Katie for taking a shot at guessing which were which.)

1. I majored in Fashion Design in college. (True) I was enrolled in the Fashion Design department at TWU for my entire Junior year. I was having doubts about my choice of majors.

2. I am not a natural red head. (False) I am very much a natural red head. Both of my parents have red hair so it was inevitable. I have even been known to dye my hair redder! I haven't dyed my hair in a couple of years, though, so what you see is what you get.

3. I was once struck by lightning. (False) I was, however, in a car that was struck by lightning. It was the loudest noise and the brightest light I have ever experienced.

4. I am a published writer. (True) I have been published three times, once in a medical journal and twice in books of poetry.

5. I got in a fight with a NHL hockey player. (True) This one is kind of complicated to explain. Let's just say I don't care how famous you are, there is no need to be foul or rude to a group of women.

6. I once drove from California to Texas without stopping. (False) I stopped and took a nap in El Paso! The trip was 32 hours long and I'm glad I only had to do it once.

7. I enlisted in the Army. (True) Sorry Katie. I did enlist my senior year of high school...However, my final paper work was rejected by the Army doctors. Even though I had clearance from all of my doctors the Army felt I was a risk. I can't even begin to imagine how different my life would have been if they had taken me.

8. I've played more men than a women on stage. (False) I have played men four times on stage. This includes two different times I played a god (One of which was a four thousand year old, Asian, bald god!!) I once had a director tell me he would have loved to cast me in a great male part but my "boobs" were too big and he just couldn't get past that!

Well Mom, I hope that was all personal enough for you! :)
