 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

| 10 p.m. and I'm yawning. Not a good sign. Recent poems: "Þimbleberries Þieves (Thimbleberry Thieves) [178.4] "  "What cannot die survives [5zm]" "Fifty years later her wrinkles still laugh [6]" But I'm toast when it comes to doing anything beyond cooking, eating, washing dishes. Right now that's my whole life. I shared elsewhere: "I'd love to sit down with all the lovely people I once knew. I think some of my friends would consider me intelligent ... but I know better! There are many types of intelligence I lack. I've cut back on the book of faces. Still check in but I needed a break. It'll be more important when I travel. My traveler friends care little about my writing. My writer friends care little about my travels. The people I know where I live care little about either. My family cares even less. 39 degrees at 11:30 and warming? Not that one can tell... The heavens must've heard ... a minute of sunshine. Beverly Clearly (1916-2021) died, age 104. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/beverly-cleary-legendary-children-s-author-who... Another day of 'not caring'? I don't dare lay back down. 44 degrees at 2 p.m. So far a lost day. Need to write, read, something. "Not giving in [7]" "Dwindling [8]" |
  PROMPT March 26th If you asked your friends to describe you using only three words, what would they say? And why do you think so? When I was a Jayhawk at the University of Kansas (crimson and blue) I was: Friendly in a talkative way. I met people from around the world for the first time, specifically Hong Kong, Ethiopia, Iran, Germany, Costa Rica, Mexico. It's why I wanted to study abroad. Innocent in a sweet way. I knew so little about the 'social' world and didn't even know how to learn about it! I transferred so that I could heal from my experiences elsewhere. My roommates were a godsend. Wide-eyed in a wondrous way. I enjoyed being in a collegiate setting. I thrived in my class work. The campus was beautiful and I've always responded to beauty. And the people were kind. I've always responded well to kindness. I was 20 when I arrived. Since then... innocence and sweetness was mostly lost in Costa Rica and later working in an office taught me that kindness and beauty are seldom rewarded. I was still friendly but perhaps too trusting. Now? People don't know me. We don't interact deeply nor for long periods of time. I don't trust but I still smile. I'm wide-eyed when I travel and respond to kindness and beauty. I've become worldly. What words now? Maybe moody, withdrawn, old. I'm worn out. My friendliness is considered annoying and I no longer have close friends where I live. Why? I've changed and become old. And Americans specifically have become meaner, suspicious and paranoid. |
