my life according to facebook -- 2009

  • Other people work out for the benefits: relax, energize, and stay fit. When I work out, a friend observes, "You seem to only get the negative side effects."
  • #1 of 25 illogically logical facts about me: I am not from Mars. Personally, I think the whole lot of you are all extraterrestrial.
  • The sedan ahead of me sports a bumper sticker: Proud Parent of a SAILOR. I cannot help but picture a sailor-mouthed 12-year-old.
  • I used to dream in French. At least in my dreams I could converse in French. Last night I dreamt that I was struggling with French alphabets.
  • I hate gravity, but I missed it terribly when it wasn’t there.
  • A blank TFA STEM alum profiling questionnaire stares at me as if asking its Judgement Day question: Have you been worthy?
  • After much introspection on self-worth: "I am forsaken!" I exclaimed to my friend. He asked, "By God?" "No, by a celestial teapot."
  • Lunch chat turned to Aboriginal tribes eating cats. I: "Feral cats have no fat. Unless you have house cats gone wild?" Coworker: "What porn have you been watching?!"
  • A fortune cookie said to me, “You would prosper in the field of wacky inventions.” If it is a sign, then I need a bigger hint.
  • My Polish friend averts surprises with his food; I prefer the unfamiliar and the exotic. Yet our lunch choices always seem identical.
  • My journey through Ireland started in a library and ended in another library. I went in search of Ireland's William Butler Yeats; I came back after having discovered Dorothea Lange's Ireland.
  • A cup of curdled cheese sat in the kitchen, but I didn’t buy any cheese. Then I recalled: it was a cup of milk for my breakfast from two weeks ago.

Bookmarks

The Found Bookmark Project, on display at the National Library of Ireland, displays
a selection of objects that were found between the pages of books in public libraries in Dublin during the summer of 2009 ... and the titles of books in which they were found.
Below were a few bookmarks on display that had me psychoanalyze:

My Struggle for Freedom
The Witch of Portobello
This is Modern Art
The Age of Wonder
