What to do...what to do...
So, in case the below posts on Fedex and sharks hadn't made it clear, I've got some time to kill. My first year out of college was spent working two jobs and then I scaled back A LOT and now find myself working, uh, probably less than one. (Not really, mom, I'm just saying that for this post. Haha.)
Actually, Claire once took it upon herself to scribble down all my various freelance assignments and the time they should (operative word is "should") take me, and, well, let's just say - the resulting pie chart wasn't pretty (both because of the truth it revealed, and because Claire is astonishingly bad at pie charts. Astonishingly.)
Bottom line is I spend too much time reading celebrity gossip websites and watching Real World repeats, and I need to find a, how-do-you-say, "extracurricular."
So here are a few things I'm considering. I welcome any and all suggestions:
1) Drum lessons. So I took a year of piano and a year of flute as a child. I had thought I took a year of violin but apparently that was my sister and I'm just trying to appropriate her accomplishments. But why drums, you ask with great interest? Weeelll...I know I'm not a singer, and playing guitar hurts my fingers. So really drums are the only thing I haven't learned I can't do.
I stumbled upon the idea a few weeks ago, while listening to some song. I think it was T.I.'s "What You Know" (yeah, I'm down like that - sup?) and I caught myself doing a rather awful fake-drum-on-my-fake-drumset performance. Most people tap their fingers and think "good song"...I tap my fingers and think "undiscovered talent."
So that's my first idea. I have many more, but will leave those for another post. Content is sparce these days...

Amalia also convinced herself in college that she should become a zoologist because she thought the squirrels we all almost ran over on our bikes were "cute" and "fuzzy" and she liked to look at them. She believed her ability to talk to them in her cute cat voice rather than curse at them as we all did meant she had discovered a hidden talent...N.B. she did not take a single biology class or spend any other time with animals aside from household pets during winter break.
Drums are so cliche. You should take up the accordian.
I love your website. It has a lot of great pictures and is very informative.
