Resisting as long as possible...finally overwhelmed by the meme.

My pink hair, the discipline I have about my work, I enjoy being alone; don't need lots of social life to make me happy

The fact that I am very opinionated, that I can't seem to lose the weight I gained back recently, I am selfish with my time

Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland
Three Things You Really Want to Do Right Now:
Be successful at this fabric design thing, spend more time at home, eat anything I want and not gain a pound
Three Careers you've Considered:
Lawyer, Research Scientist, and one I accomplished...performing arts
Three Ways You Are Stereotypically a Boy:
I am handy with tools and fix most of the things in our house, I would rather act than talk (hate overthinking), I could be a bachelor and be happy
Three Ways You Are Stereotypically a Girl:
Shoes! Clothes! My must do visits to Toni and Guy
Hope this isn't too boring...but I lead a fairly mundane life.
Things are getting more and more eccentric at Casa de la Swain. Changing styles in my textile work, falling in love again with painting and photography...and then there is the ever illusive quest for continuing creativity through working with Eric Maisel. Still on the road teaching, posting now at the Ragged Cloth Cafe and taking the pledge to keep handmaiden up to date.
