Summerset tagged me, so, here goes:
If you are tagged, you
1) Post 5 things about yourself that you have never posted
2) Tag 5 people whom you'd like to know more about
I have no idea what I've posted or not posted … feel free to Google and call foul on me in the comments.
1) I was the first, last, and only (as far as I know) National Junior Classical League Ambassador. This was way back in the late '80s. My "job" was to encourage the study of Latin (and Greek, too, I guess), but there was some kind of power-play between the outgoing student JCL president, who had thought up the position, and the main adult sponsor, who didn't think it was such a good idea, so I didn't end up doing much of anything. I did get a snazzy pin, though, and it looked great on my college applications.
2) Speaking of college, I ran a coffee shop when I was in school. This means that every person who was at the University of Chicago when I was there thinks they know me — I look so familiar! That's because I served them coffee every day. My favorite part was running the express line, with the ritual call of "Express Line: No soup, no pizza, no twenties, no waiting!"
3) Speaking of coffee, I don't actually drink it. I mean, I like coffee-flavor, and I love coffee candy (especially Pearson's Coffee Nips, which will break your teeth as sure as shooting), coffee ice cream, the smell of coffee (if people at the coffee shop asked me if the coffee was good, I would say "it smells great!") … and I will drink the occasional mocha frappuccino (aka the coffee milkshake) but I don't actually like the taste of hot regular liquid coffee. I always assumed that one day I'd be grown up and would drink coffee, but I guess I never grew up enough.
4) Another thing my childish self figured I would do when I was grown-up "enough" was smoke. My folks both smoked; that was just what grown-ups did, right? I even figured I'd smoke gold Benson & Hedges, just like my mom. Needless to say, if I never managed to grow up enough to drink coffee, I also never managed to grow up enough to smoke cigarettes. By the time I figured out that I wasn't smoking, there I was, a non-smoker. And thankfully, both my parents have also been non-smokers now for more than ten years!
5) And speaking of my forebears (well, the ones going back a-ways), I am supposedly a collateral descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas McKean. (Collateral here means "descended from the same stock but by a different line", that is, I'm descended from the signer's brother, not the signer. What I really like about ol' Tom, though, is that he managed to hold multiple public offices at the same time. "One can scarcely believe the number of concurrent offices and duties this man performed during the course of his long career." So whenever I think I can't do everything I've signed up to do, I remember my illustrious forebear, who did so much — in several different states, simultaneously, and without indoor plumbing!
Now for the tagging part. I want to know more about all of you! I know a lot of you don't have blogs, so why don't each of you (who want to, of course, this is not compulsory) post something about yourself in the comments? If you do have a blog and want to do your five there, post a link in the comments. I promise to visit them all!
A Dress A Day 
1) Like Erin, I don’t drink coffee either but I love the taste in candy, ice cream, chocolates, etc. I especially like General Foods International’s Cappuccino Coolers, available at Dominick’s. 2) I have eleven nieces and nephews.3) Two of my brothers graduated from West Point.4) I own a 1940s-era pink and green Art Deco dollhouse originally from Marshall Field’s.5) While I’m left-handed, I crochet and knit with my right hand!I tag Bella Donna, Knitgirl, Lydia, Erica B and Dr. Sue.

1. I have a six-year old nephew – Macky – who I love very, very much. He’s a smart kid, on top of his class and is both naughty and sweet. 2. I have four sisters and one brother. 3. My idea of good times are:a good book; solitude; sorting out my stuff; chocolates or spaghetti(my favorites) at the end of a lousy day and hanging out with the ones I love.4 & 5. When I was around 10 or 11, I saw a part of a romantic movie entitled ‘Starstruck’ on tv. It was way past my bedtime and Mama told me to turn it off. The thing that stuck with me all this time was what the grandmother character told her grandson about never letting the one you love ‘get away’. She went on to say that she married a good man but that until that time and already in her 70s, she still wonder about a man that she once danced with – ‘the one that got away’. And darn I didn’t get to finish watching that movie! Thanks Erin. It was fun.

Let’s see if I can find 5 interesting things….1) I started sewing when I found out I was pregnant with my 1st son (almost 13 yrs ago) I was broke and it was easier for me to make all my maternity clothes. I just picked up a pattern and haven’t stopped since then. I find with each project I complete I get better. I just wish I had more time to make all my projects that I’ve started in my mind.2) Funny you should mention coffee…I went to work at Starbucks about 6 months ago because I could give them my availability and they would work around it. I do drink coffee, but only one cup a day. 3) I work 4 days a week, homeschool my two older boys, have an online business and go to school on top of being a wife and mom…talk about keeping busy!4) I decided to go back to school to get a degree from the Journalism and Public Communications Department at the University of Alaska, Anchorage (thank goodness I already have 2 yrs done!!!)5) I hated computers and the internet until about 7 years ago when I just sat down one day and figured it out. This has made the world a smaller place because I can access places and people from all over the world.I’m so glad that I did since I have found your Dress A Day sight. I enjoy it immensely and look forward to reading what you put up every day!

Erin, I remember you from Cobb coffee shop days (== days of classes with Professors Dahlstrom and McCawley.) The price of coffee seems to have gone up quite a bit since then.1. I learned to sew from my mother and through 4-H. My mother was the sewing group leader. 2. Speaking of 4-H, I stayed with it throughout childhood, attended National 4-H Conference (twice), and even left college a little early to work at the National 4-H Center.3. I took Latin on Saturdays in 8th grade, and I always thought that when I was grown up I would know Latin, Greek, German, French, and maybe Italian. Never occurred to me to consider any Asian languages, including the language of my childhood (Korean). The way it turned out: I’ve studied French, Latin, Japanese, a little Chinese, and Korean but can only really say that I know Korean.4. I was inspired by this blog to try to write every day about a topic that I am very familiar with. However the discipline and the interest were short-lived (the topic was my daily bus commute).5. The name Erma is a variation of Emma (Peel). My counterpart is John Sneed.

1. I was in NCL, as well. My school’s team (captained by moi) actually won some kind of Indianapolis-area quiz bowl thing when I was in HS. There was much adolescent chuckling around the “island of Lesbos” question.2. I’ve never seen Titanic or any of the Rocky movies. I did see Gone with the Wind recently and thought it sucked.3. I learned how to sew from my mom, who learned from hers….ditto, all in Appalachian farming towns (except for me). So until a few months ago, the bulk of my sewing skills were about fabrics and techniques available before WWII.4. I believe most of the US, and possibly the western world, is sleep-deprived, and if everyone all slept more they’d be much less destructive.5. I feel guilty returning books to the library if I haven’t gotten around to reading them.

1) I was almost thrown out of home ec in the 7th grade because I refused to sew the drop sleeve blouse in the order that the teacher perscribed. I also “used bad language” when frustrated, according to her. Damn.2) I was brought up in a home where the favorite phrase from my father was “A clean colon is a happy colon”. This is also the man who kept the newspaper in the bathroom and hid boxes of prunes around the house.3) When my great aunts died, I inherited their stash of fabrics and trims from when they worked in a lingerie factory in the 1930s and 40s; when my mother died, I inherited HER stash. At this rate, I will have to either open a store or build a barn to hold all of this stuff. 4) I have a sister in Virginia who neither sews nor knits. Somehow, she missed out.5) I have a deep and abiding respect and wonder at the genius of Gail Griggs Hazen for coming up with the revolutionary theory that most of us are an entirely different size in the back half of us than we are in the front half. I figure I could have saved several lifetimes of tearing out basted stitiches on muslins if I’d only grasped that earlier.

Hi. I’m diatryma on Livejournal, too.1) While I really like hearing about sewing and dresses, it fills me with anxiety to contemplate what might have to be done to actually take part. I don’t own a sewing machine and I’ve never used one. I work in a lab, and labs are usually… not so much the dressy, yes? And those of you who remember my rude freakout some time ago… yeah, with the freaking out. I don’t like to be looked at or paid attention to unless I’m in control. So I want to learn to sew, but will feel guilty about taking time from work to do so. Instead, I made the mother of all laundry bags from almost two yards of blue canvas, some heavy-duty thread, and big imposing needles. It is a wonderful laundry bag and I expect it to last at least a decade. If it does not, I have more heavy-duty thread and I’m never throwing away the big needles.2) I am crazy. Not actually crazy, not quirky crazy, but the inside of my head is a strange and scary place. 3) I don’t eat vegetables if I can avoid it. Mostly, I can.4) While I feel guilty using time I might be working to do anything like learn to sew, I’m perfectly fine with using that time to read books. Lots of books. A truly ridiculous number of books. If you get me into the dealer’s room at a con, I will walk you through every publisher and give short reviews. 5) I write science fiction and fantasy. Mostly short stories. This has caused some tension in my department, not from my friends or advisor, but from one particular professor who doesn’t understand that my creative writing is not my lab writing and that I already know that, and that the reason my lab reports were so bad is that I didn’t understand the math. Maybe over the summer I’ll try sewing something that matters.

I’ve been sewing over 40 years now–started out sewing by hand to make doll clothes as a kid, took home ec in junior high, and inherited my grandmother’s love of sewing, and her sewing machine (sadly, now defunct) and fabrics when she died.3. I have a teaching degree in music (band director), but never taught because I’m slightly deaf from playing the flute for about ten years!4.

Fun! Interesting to see all of the people involved in books or writing, and/or in science/math. Also, note to Laura, here’s why not to feel bad about returning unread books to the library:1) It’s good to have options, and sometimes it turns out you’re just not in the mood for a book you checked out2) Some books turn out to NOT BE WORTH READING, and there are so many that are; save your reading time for them!3) The best reason: the more you check out, the better the library’s circulation statistics will be, and that helps their funding, so they can continue to buy more books and pay folks to help you find them. Okay, that duty discharged, here’s my five:1) In the past few years most of my major interests seem to involve needles (acupuncture, knitting, sewing); I don’t know what the psychological significance of that is.2) I was a mild-mannered library clerk doing acupuncture for the past four years, and just quit to open a sliding-scale clinic with three partners. We’re having a blast, but I’m a wee bit worried about money right now (no more Ebay for awhile)! Here’s our website, in case: http://www.grassrootsacuproject.com3) My partner is a cowboy-turned-librarian working on a PhD, and is a vintage-loving butch to my femme, so I knit her the fairisle and argyle vests (for that collegiate look) that I fetishize but would never wear myself. (I wear the dresses.) Note to new knitters: fairisle looks harder, but is fun, and intarsia – e.g. argyle – is a pain in the butt. All those ends to weave in!4) I grew up in the Midwest and lived for awhile in the Southwest, and I really miss thunderstorms.5) My sister recently became a mom, thereby also fulfilling my lifelong ambition of being an Aunt; I’m working on my Mame-like fabulosity.

Fun readings1. I barrel-raced from age 6 to 18. I was able to hook up, load and drive the truck-horse trailer at age 12. My main horse was named Miss Kitty.2. When I sewed for 4-H I never got anything but red or white ribbons (and that’s not very good.) My top stitching on my oval table runners and placemats was always off.3. I started sewing on my own while my mom was at work. My Grandma had taught me things that I still follow to the “T.” I just don’t remember her actually teaching me.4. I worked as a manager at a Mom & Pop record store for ten years. I have lots and lots of music. The choice is varied. I believe that music, like fashion, is such a personal choice. There is no reason to feel lesser because of your choices as long as you like ’em. I am musically, a combination of percieved high and low brow. I like the Spice Girls as much as I like Mozart.5. In high school, I would “borrow” items from the drama prop room that I was in charge of cleaning. My mother did not like this (more on a fashion level than a moral one.) My favorite dresses often disappeared only to be found later in my mom’s rag bag. This is how I learned to do my own laundry.-Janet

1) My Latin-class name was Allegra, and the one thing that has proved most useful from Latin class is being able to spell “Mediterranean.”2) I’ve learned in the past year that it is possible to become “an athletic person” (as opposed to just finally giving in to necessity and going to the gym sometimes) in your late 30’s. I never used to be, and now I am. I have become competent at things requiring my body AND (a huge and) I now enjoy them!3) I attended church camp with a charismatic (in the religious sense) counsellor when I was 15, and acquired a prayer language (as in “speaking in tongues” at the time). Although I haven’t used it in close to 20 years and am now married to (and religiously compatible with) a Jewish Buddhist agnostic-bordering-on-atheist who works as a hospital chaplain, I can still call those unknown syllables to mind if I try.

Now two of my nieces are taller than me, too. 2) As a kid my favorite Ice-cream parlor combination was Lemonade sherbert with Chocolate sprinkles on top. The server would gag every time I ordered it but that only egged me on.3) Despite my constantly swearing that I can’t sew, I do actually own a sewing machine, and I have used it. I made myself a lovely pregnany dress that I wore constantly during my second pregnancy, and then a couple of nursing shirts. The were quite tricky for a novice and they came out surprisingly well! But that was about 11 years ago.4) I am a big fan of an obscure Scottish comic strip called “The Broons”. 5) I had a book of cartoons published, in 1996. It is called “Twin Toons”. I remember when I told the breaking news to some relatives my aunt, not really understanding, asked incredulously “You mean you PAID to get a book published dear?” Um no. Someone paid me.
