3:35 pm	Vegasfirebrand's "Words" The object of the exercise is that someone - in this case the incredible vegasfirebrand - tells you, in their LJ, 5 words that they think describe you and then you have to talk about why in your own LJ 1. Integrity: Considering my profession I'm not sure this can ever apply. But like unto Dr. Suess' Horton the Elephant, I mean what I say and I say what mean. 2. Service: My raison d'etre. While it is one of the facts of life that everyone is serving one way or another, just as it is a fact of life that everything we do - including service - is a trade-off of something given for something gotten, I see service as an end in itself as what I do to justify breathing up all that air. It's how I've always viewed myself, as one who takes care of, and would take care of, others in my realm of influence. The example I give to those who don't know how people such as vegasfirebrand and I function is that, since I was 3 years old, I didn't want to be Roy Rogers I wanted to be Pat Brady, I didn't want to be the Lone Ranger I wanted to be Tonto. 3. Adoration: Not sure how this applies. I certainly don't inspire adoration. Now, doubtless at this point some well-meaning young woman will say, "oh yes you're adorable" but note that any such woman is not required to actually put up with me in her life on a consistent basis. 4. Affectionate: Interesting choice here, as I think I'm very affectionate but I would have said most people don't think I am but rather think I'm reserved (and I'm sure it's no coincidence at all that word was also applied in this exercise). I'm not frantic about my personal space, I don't feel threatened if someone is physically close to me, and I like it if it's someone I like; even just to go to sleep if I'm with someone I like I'm as happy in a single bed as a larger bed. I like touching and being touched. 5. Reserved: I'm extremely shy, coupled with not necessarily having the same interests as most people I meet so I have literally nothing to discuss with them. I will spend an evening in a room full of people and never say a word - not because I don't like them or can't think of anything to say but because I have no sense that they want to talk to me about anything.

10:56 am	Fascinating coincidence The only reason I joined LJ was to be able to read the posts by nounsandverbs, 11th_letter purpura, and warriorsavant. I do read some other friends' posts in addition, but never have reason to post myself except when answering one of those long quizzes that people post from time-to-time. Happens I just noticed, in one that I'd answered last July, the question was "ho’s someone you haven’t seen in awhile and miss?" & the answer was "Michelle Parmelee." Last time I saw was for a few days on a few occasiions 30 years ago.......then two weeks ago she found my phone number and called me. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

6:45 pm	One of those quizzes about one's self we're obliged to answer Took this from the LJ of someone who is one of my mutual friends on here (well, he's my friend in real life too), and I think he took it from someone else who is a mutual friend.  If I post it here, anyone  who is on my "friends page" will see it??  So, that means you all have to answer it too. Who was your FIRST prom date? Patricia Arlene Morse Do you still talk to your FIRST love?  No. Not that I wouldn't, she's just not around here to talk with. What was your 1st alcoholic drink?  Some random brand of beer, age 15, obtained from delicatessen that didn't proof teenagers much.. What was your FIRST job? Errand boy for a jeweler, age 15, a few hours/day on 2 or 3 days after school. What was your FIRST car?  1960 Rambler Six. Who was the FIRST person to text you today?  Nobody Who is the FIRST person you thought of this morning?  Why, by no coincidence at all, the beautiful woman in the bed with me. Who was your FIRST grade teacher?  The late Josephine Smith Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane?   Just up and around the airfield, for the experience of it. Who was your FIRST best friend & do you still talk?   His name was Craig, lived across the hall in my apartment building when I was 5.  Can't recall now if his family moved before mine did when I was age 6. Where was your FIRST sleep over?  My mom's parents, who lived a few El stops from us (not sure how far it was by car), age 3 or 4. Who was the FIRST person you talked to today?  Why, by no coincidence at all, the beautiful woman in the bed with me. Whose wedding were you in the FIRST time?  Ron & Phyllis Collins. What was the FIRST thing you thought this morning?  "Do I really have to get up?  Maybe one more press of the snooze alarm?" What was the FIRST concert you ever went to?  Can't recall FIRST tattoo or piercings?  n/a. FIRST foreign country you went to? Canada FIRST movie you remember seeing in the theaters?  The Walt Disney cartoon version of Peter Pan When was your FIRST detention?  At an adult center or in school?   10th grade...not because I didn't deserve it earlier but because the schools I was in before then simply didn't do that particular thing. First state you lived in? New York Who was your FIRST roommate?  In college, Joe Osino (sp?) and Mark Sendar. WHO WAS YOUR FIRST?  Since was unauthorized by law and then-common mores, and she's still alive and knows people I know, can't say. Who do you think will be the next person to post this?  Probably the Little Humanoid, though these sorts of things aren't her style, because I think she's the only one who might look at my LJ (3 Comments |Comment on this)

7:12 am	nounsandverbs' post in his journal about me 1: I'll respond with something random about you. You're my wife's father. 2: I'll challenge you to try something. I assume that, being the older, wiser guy I know you are, you've already tried everything I could possibly think of. :) 3: I'll pick a colour that I associate with you. Slate. 4: I'll tell you something I like about you. You think your daughter is the bee's knees. 5: I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you. Gosh, when did I meet you? Must have been the week K graduated from college. I remember you guys hanging out in our tiny apartment. 6: I'll tell you what animal you remind me of. A monkey. 7: I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you. Not a chance. It'll come back to haunt me at family reunions. :) 8: If I do this for you, you must post this in your journal.
