I too am struggling to take the bossy Ms. Trunk's views on blog themes to heart, but I think we're probably allowed to deviate a little from the course when we choose :)<br /><br />RE: your last paragraph--I'm not an academic, so I can't speak for them, but I can say this: you're not nutty and alone. I've been in a state of stasis like you describe ("excitability but little movement") for over a year now. And I definitely have fantasy careers floating around my head, complicating things. Mostly related (at least a little) to what I currently do, or aspire to do; but every once in awhile I suddenly sit up and think, <i> gee, it would be nice to be an archaeologist </i> Or something.Miranda W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07465662908442076685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913229899720792807.post-41367902250664233982010-03-01T14:28:09.701+00:002010-03-01T14:28:09.701+00:00There would be a lot of Venn diagram overlap betwe...There would be a lot of Venn diagram overlap between me as a four year old and this little, cranky chicken, although I was much more foreheady! <br /><br />Thanks for your messages guys.<br /><br />Miss you!Academic, Hopefulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474557296107830403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913229899720792807.post-81942030296864790662010-03-01T12:18:00.342+00:002010-03-01T12:18:00.342+00:00I agree with ihatemornings - this is a gold medal ...I agree with ihatemornings - this is a gold medal find.

I want to stick it on my kitchen cupboard so that I can start every day by falling to the floor in hysterics.<br /><br />Good to see you back on the horse. Looking forward to seeing where you take it (or it takes you). ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
