AVOIDANCE

[tripperfunster]

I'm bored and desperately trying to avoid all manner of boring/non-fun crap that I have to do.

Ask me a question about ANYTHING and I'll do my best to truthfully answer you.

Nothing is off limits.

Did I mention that I'm bored??

:D

Oh, tripp, an accordian? Hee, did'ja have saddle shoes too? Yeah, the older you get, the harder it is to learn to play an instrument; hell, the harder it is to learn anything! When I was at uni, I spent a month's worth of food money to buy a violin, cause I'd always wanted to play. I had to work reallllly hard at it, so much harder than Mandie did when she started to play. What did you learn on it? Polkas? Hee, Acordian and drums and clarinet-- makes me think of John Candy in Home Alone. Strangely enough, I play the guitar fairly well. I'm a string person, I guess. You've got the natural talents, and they're much more portable--singing and drawing.

Haaaa. Thinking about you, you know you're right. Never thought about it that way--maybe I should've asked what would you have not done if you could take it back? See, I've given myself away, because my life is rather littered with things I regret not having done. The main thing, naturally, at this point in my new and painful unemployment, is that I wish I'd not been a nurse at all, that I'd gone on to get my Masters in French and joined the hallowed halls of academia, thus sparing my poor back and kept myself blissfully ignorant about all manner of gory, bloody, pukey stuff, not to mention having a now somewhat hackneyed but unavoidable acquaintance with frequent and tragic death.

Hey, I say fuck all of it except taking care of the animals. But that's irresponsible, isn't it? My current bent lies in that direction, though, so you might want to disregard that...

I'm slightly impaired, can you tell? My god, did I write all of that?! Feel free to tell me to get the fuck out of your eljay.

I would nevah shun you from my eljay! Especially if you're drunk! :D

Funny that you wish you hadn't become a nurse. I TOTALLY wish I'd become a doctor! I think I would be a rockin' surgeon! Or maybe a veterinarian. (they don't have to specialize like doctors, but they also make way less $$$$)

I just wasn't that 'into' school, and the thought of another bazillion years of it turned me to rock and roll bands. ;^)

Acadamia? ZZZZZZZZZboring. I think your stories that you tell about nursing are phenominal. I'm sure they made you who you are today!

I was in pre-vet at Penn State for almost two years--it was the chem that killed me. I was only average in it, and vet schools want you top-notch at chem. And my adviser told me I was to 'empathetic' to make practical (read: money) decisions about animal treatment. Pffft.

I do have a lot of good stories, it's true. Thanks for the nudge; I've not done one in a while. In the meantime, I'm working on the caveman.
