about moi.
id·i·o·syn·cra·sy
Pronunciation Key n. pl. id·i·o·syn·cra·sies
A structural or behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group.
1. I cannot touch cotton balls- especially those that come in pill bottles. They make me squirm.
2. Olives - green. I could live on them.
3. I must buy books. I like the satisfaction of owning them instead of borrowing them from the library. And only if I like the cover. (of course, as a result I spend too much money). Update - I have become a Library Lover!!!!
4. I tend to avoid confrontation (but I like to watch others have it out with eachother- i suppose it reassures me that nobody is perfect)
5. I have a problem with thinking of the worst case scenario and jumping to conclusions in my head. Because for some reason I think I am right. I rarely ever am, but I don't like to doubt myself.
6. I can't stand to be late for anything, no matter how trivial the appointment might seem. Time tends to get away from me very easily, so I'm always concerned about being late. Sometimes I'm waaaay too early for things in an effort not to be late.
7. I can make a long story even longer. And usually these stories don't have any point, but they are definitely epic. I get that from my dad.
8. I loathe telephones. Why can't people send emails and write letters?
9. I cannot stand reading emails or message that use webspeak. It hurts my head when people use u instead of you, and plz instead of please. Just because it's the internet does not give you the right to slaughter the English language. So if you message me- avoid that.
10. I hate the sound of vacuuming. I do not vacuum. I would rather get down and pick up the dirt with my hands than plug that stupid thing in.
11. I am allergic to all of my favourite fruits.
12. i have never had long fingernails. not ever. not even for a day.
13. i sweat more than the average girl
14. in grade 2 i wanted to teach. in grade 7 i wanted to teach. i now teach.

Lindsay!
I have just filled out a postcard for you thru crossposting…. I am looking at your site, I was at a ceramics shop recently (twice in one week, an addiction is starting) and the owner had story people on her wall – she couldn’t remember the name of the artist, thought they were from Charleston…. I couldn’t find them on line…. until I browsed your blog…… I am also trying to start an Artist’s Way study group (saw your note about the morning pages…) serendipitous???? Elaine

Hi Carrie! I used to be soooo into nervousness. Seems like a lifetime ago. We weren’t so good at keeping up with snail mail letters (it was probably my fault!) Anyways – I use wordpress.org to power my site (and it is hosted by bluehost so I pay small yearly fee). If you want to go the freebie way – wordpress.com (yes there is a difference) has some pretty great themes (example – http://funkylindsay.wordpress.com , but you can’t do as much editing as you can if you use .org (blogger is good too) – Email me if you have more specific questions!
