Day late and a dollar short, that’s me!
1. Do you remember your first encounter with computers? Tell me about that.
Hm… to be honest, I don’t. We had a computer at home for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a C:\ prompt.
2. How late can you stay up and still be functional the next day? Do you do that very often?
Hm… I can usually stay up until 2 or 3 if I’ve been getting enough sleep, but I’m not super functional until around 10 or 11 am if I do that. I’m baseline functional.
3. When was the last really good hug you got from another adult? Who was it and what was the situation?
Sunday night, from a friend after we went to a play.
4. One thing about children is that they all like to draw. We all shared the same ability and skill level at one time. Do you still like to draw? (Not do you think you draw well, or do others, but do you like to?) If not, how come? Did you get discouraged at some point?
I doodle, I don’t draw. I suck at drawing, always have. I get these grand ideas in my head and then get really frustrated when they don’t come out on the paper.
5. I way overslept today. I had to head to work with no shower (don’t get too close), and I am not in the best of moods. Have you ever overslept on a day you had something important going on? What’s the story there?
Hm. I’ve overslept and been late to class, that kind of thing. Usually it’s because if I don’t set my alarm my natural time to wake up is between 9 and 10 am.
6. Ever go shopping for something you know you can’t afford? You look at it and even think about how it will look when you get it home, somehow you justify the cost and believe it can happen? And just before you get to the counter come to your senses? What was the last thing you almost bought, but thought better of it? And why the heck do we do that to ourselves?
I’m generally good at NOT doing that.
7. (It begins again…) It’s all such a blur now. I’d asked you to help me wake up but the alarm didn’t go off. It was 10 till and just I knew I’d be late. Somehow you got me here on time. How did you do that?
Lots of coffee and a firm speaking voice.
