jinianDay Two: Nine things about yourself.
1. When I got my first period I was ten. I knew perfectly well what was going on, but I had no idea how to tell my mom. She'd already had a hysterectomy, so there were no supplies in the house. My solution? Ignore it! Luckily I didn't bleed that much. I think I worked myself up to mentioning it three days in, and pretended to have been oblivious.
2. I am bisexual but for obvious statistical reasons have had an easier time meeting men who like me back than anyone else.
3. Someday I hope to be a grumpy professor emerita who asks beady-eyed questions in seminars. (This might also be fun at Wiscon. I can start attending the pseudoscience panels and give them hell!)
4. And then goes home to her blueberry farm and crafts and pets and family.
5. My mobile phone is a little Nokia brick (6010) so very old that I have started getting retro-hipster cred for it.
6. When my bus came the other day, I was too busy photographing a wasp (carrying a paralyzed fly!!!1!) to get on it, and waited for the next one.
7. Copyediting is both automatic and fun for me. Sometimes I screw up anyway, but typos almost always jangle my nerves and I notice. There's a P.C. Hodgell book that I have never finished because the error-alarm going off all the time is just too distracting.
8. My house now has two walls that are falling apart. I never had a satisfactory explanation for the first one, which was like that when we moved in, but the second is clearly due to the messed up gutters letting water into the wall. Wim is unhappy about this, but I'm kind of fascinated.
9. I love gardening and study plant molecular biology but am tragically allergic to several common types of airborne pollen and to contact with grass.
Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn-offs.
Day Eight: Three turn-ons.
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
Day Ten: One confession.
