“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.”

The intrepid Spaceman Spiff is stranded on a distant planet! ...Our hero ruefully acknowledges that this happens fairly frequently..


Want to learn how to put music on this blog. Also want to take a photography course. And join a society for performing musicals.

Had a bizarre conversation at girls bible study today. Apparently I am a freakily obsessive escapist, who can analyse abstract concepts and facts without being able to compute mathematics or emotions. I think things through carefully - once - and then file them away in my memory until later. Which means that I would be able to have a theological debate... and then be unable to explain my feelings about my Lord and God and the important stuff. I do get embarrassingly enthusiastic about things though... usually random trivia, like tv shows and books. Which I can discuss in shocking detail. Which freaks people out not infrequently. I am a details person. The big picture escapes me.

Finished the 40 hour famine today. No food entered my mouth and no words (well, hardly any) escaped it for 40 whole hours. Intense.

  1. See. I can do the abtract thing, but I am forever governed by emotions. Also, I am a big picture person. Interesting the way our minds bend, huh?
