"I'm growing older but not up. My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck. . . "
I wanted to be a fashion designer but listened to my father and got a business degree. Still want to design, but now have more interest in costuming and did quite a bit while in the SCA. Not practical for getting a paycheck - but lots of fun for me and the cat.
The most basic classes in school have proved to be the most useful (typing/10key/accounting) and have allowed me to (mostly)pay the bills but provide little joy and involve no passion. I'm still working on the goal of being any sort of decent vocalist, accompanied by my own VERY basic guitar work. . . I have dreams of improving on the basic and building and playing my own hammered dulcimer. . . And since I not only have dreams of that, but some rather nebulous plans, it will happen . . . maybe not right now. . . but it will happen.
I will: move out of the desert - back to the ocean where I belong
I will: learn to play a hammered dulcimer
I will: sing because it makes me happy - and hope to find an audience who will be happy to hear me.
I will: create fanciful, wonderful costumes because they are pretty and it's fun to watch the cat play in yards of fabric
And if it all takes a while that's okay - the journey is the really fun part, after all!
Cheers
PB
