c6hands@gmail.com BioSo, what to put in a bio. I've always hated these things - express yourself in a hundred words or less - go!
I am in my mid-40s (that covers it for the next couple of years), on my third major career change in said 40-something years, married with teen-agers.
I am still trying to finish my undergraduate degree (life keeps getting in the way). I have 32 hours left. And since I now handily work for a university which will pay my tuition, I can finish up and go to graduate school (grades permitting). My major is in general studies which at LSU is comprised of 3 minors. I am studying English, Linguistics, and Coastal Science. I hope to go on to graduate school in Historical Linguistics.
During the last 20 years of my former life, I was a massage therapist. The short of it being that I blew out my body and I couldn't work anymore - carpel tunnel, tendonitis, rotator cuff problems - all of that in both arms. It's much better now and I can do a LITTLE massage for fun. Before that, I had a short lived career as a computer programmer, back when DOS was the thing and Windows was a teaching program in Bell Labs.
I have very eclectic tastes in friends, music, books, and life. I am somewhat of an adventurer and adrenaline junkie (ie: sky diving, cliff jumping, various alternative activities). At the same time, I value my quiet, the mountains, and the sea. I love the green darkness and the cool quiet of the night.
Okay, so that was 265.
See you in the dreamtime,
Amanda
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language, is that
English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words;
on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them
unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
