*grins*

my taste in art run to the primal and ancient art.... maybe I am a soul lost in time and space?

Proping up my feet…. Watching the door…

"I'm not a good writer." laughing

"hi there."

then welcome back , smiles

smiles and waves

*dusts off the very, very expensive rock*

So tell me about yourself…

Walks in …

I can relate to keeping them clean. I broke down and bought some of those wipes at the drug store.

smiling back to you

"its been a long time since i've been here for a visit!"

Not embarrassed at all

Walking to you and hugging you gently
Kissing you on the lips

I stop for a brief moment to reproach you

Please? What do you mean "please"? Nah this little piggy is definately still lose and likes to run about.

I go back to tickling youre footsie fast and furiosly shouting out "wee, wee, wee," and oinking like a pig!

..sticky..

bright smile

you look divine where you're sitting ..nods lots

The first place I can say that shaped me was the library. My Mom and Dad were both readers and trooped me to the library from an early age. It helped me to realize that imagination can go far and wide. Isn't that what we do here best? Use our imaginations.
The second was a small place in Mississippi where I lived. I worked at a radio station there and got to know and become friends (that last to this day) with folks who were not like me, a city kid. I learned that we are all the same for the most part, just wanting to live peacefully.
The third was a trip to Alaska. Bears and whales and glaciers, Denali, majestic bald eagles, welcoming people..seeing these things made me want to take every opportunity I had to get out in the world.

"I didn't mean to embarrass!"

Two things lead to this post. I had mentioned to polly that I liked her 'Trip Talk' series. It got us all talking and in a roundabout way, getting to know each other and seeing how others tick.

The second thing...I listen to a podcast, 'Atlas Obscura' where wonders of the world, from large to very small and obscure are discussed. The show's creator Dylan Thuris gave answers to a question he posed, "What three places shaped me?" His answers were
the house on the rock, Minneapolis where he grew up, and an apartment he and his wife lived in, in Budapest.

So I pose to you the question, What three places shaped you?
(I'll share an answer in the comments. Sorry if I get a little long-winded)
