emchyYou know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their lives, and all of a sudden you think, "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.
Please copy mine below, erase my answers, putting yours in their places, and then post the result in your journal. Please elaborate on the questions which would benefit from elaboration! One-word-answers seldom help anyone out.
1. Name: Cindy (sometimes known as Emchy, Emch, Cin, Sin, Avatar of Sexual Chaos, monkey and bunny)
2. Age: 33
3. Location: San Francisco, California, USA. I moved to the Bay Area in 1995 - went back to Michigan and finished school then returned in 1998 and haven't left yet.
4. Occupation: Accordion player / poet for the art job. Web marketing monkey - usually involving words and films - for the day job. I can get detailed in that - but yea - I try to help get indie and important films out into the world to help make it all a better place. a global community. and i try not to get my own soul crushed my day job minutiae in the process.
5. Partner: Rooster. never on livejournal but holder of the accountmuy_macha. she is my partner in life and in crime.
6. Kids: nooe
7. Brothers/Sisters: My brother Dave lives back in Michigan. He has a house, a wife, four kids, two dogs, a pool and a camaro. Until the holiday season of 07/08 he also had a mullet. He is awesome. He manages a lumber yard.
8. Pets: Lucky is the mutt dog that we got from the pound FIVE years ago. Cluecat is the farm cat kitten I got in Holt Michigan in 1995. Moses is the big black bad ass cat that Rooster found in a bush back in 1994 under a SF Victorian in the Mission.
9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
accordion
touring poetry
getting healthier
10. What did you go to school for? I majored in english with minors in fllm study and queer studies. i now think it's hilarious that people say english degrees don't help you get jobs. all of my jobs so far have ended up being EXACTLY tied to what i studied just because i loved it. in part i blame my father. when i was a junior in college i had to give him a presentation (yes with print outs and slides) of how this degree would help me find jobs. since he was helping pay for school i went all out - since if he wasn't convinced the pressure to change my degree or move into the teaching program was going to be fierce. I think that made me take what i was studying and how it could translate to the real world more seriously.
11. Parents: they're living in a house in the town i grew up in. sadly not the one on the lake anymore.
12. Who are some of your closest friends? Rooster, Punk, and a nice inner circle of LJ folks who i am proud to consider family.
And there you have it! I am happy to answer questions should the above engender any.
