Journeyman, are you a lit teacher by any chance? just curious. if not, then all the better that one of the things you do well is to help others enjoy language - when they're not expecting it! thanks for sharing. I'm not entirely sure what "trifle" is (a sort of pudding?) but I'll give it a shot (you can send me the recipe on the social board, unless it includes pulverized prozac or something). I must say, it sounds like your family is lucky to have you. All of those things you listed are excellent qualities indeed, and everyone should have a baker in the house.I have been in Heathrow airport once, en route to Italy. That's about it for my UK connection, though I'm thinking of a trip to Scotland. I used to be very into british comedy when I was younger - maybe it's a holdover. I live in *new* england (ayuh) . . . otherwise, I'm stumped.
As for my "board identity" - well, it took a little while to get used to posting. I also have been feeling better the past few days - and went to meet my (probable) new therapist today. turns out he's spent a long time practicing buddhism, which is great for me as I've been shuffling my feet at the edge of that jump for a while now, and the questions one confronts in practice are questions I struggle with daily. It also says something very fundemental about the approach he takes to working with his patients.
And, this evening the man I've had a crush on for a long while stopped in at my workplace uexpectedly, and while I didn't quite sweep him off his feet with devastating charm, I did have a pleasant, cheerful & not-freaked-out chat with him - no stammers or blushing. OK, I'm done giving myself gold stars - it's just nice to be able to tell someone about things that I regard as accomplishments, which most people I know wouldn't quite get ("Guess what? I talked to a *boy* today! And . . . *he talked back*!")
I haven't read "Speak", but I'll look for it - I have a PT job in a bookstore, so I'll search the shelves.
thank you for all of your support -
