Hi Everyone, I'm Clarissa. I agree that Frappr would be a great idea. But I can tell I shouldn't volunteer to organize it. I could, however, find someone to organize it if no one reading this wants to. Impish? Lynne? One of my fortes (I think) is finding the right person for the task, within a group.
I'm one of the refugees from IMDb. I live in Seattle with husband and 3 year old daughter. I am currently a fulltime mom, which has been my heart's desire for a long time. i have a very blissful time in the smallest now, these days. Not all the time, by any means. But so many little joys with my girl, and the free, fairly unstressful time that I have. In the past I have been an English and French teacher, a tobacco cessation counselor, and a birth doula.
I wish I was doing yoga, but I'm not. I want to learn to play guitar just rudimentarily enough to accompany myself in the simplest manner while I sing (which I do a lot - sing), but I haven't been (guitar). I want to take more photos of my daughter and other aspects of my life, but I don't. That's kind of the negative part of me, not doing what my heart wants, sometimes. And I'm not good with paper clutter.
I'm very people-oriented, and was somehow given moderator status of the Tremblay group here upon arrival (along with yaadpyar and vkm91941), a position I seem to fall into sometimes in groups - kind of the gatherer servant, or the "let's see what everyone needs and figure out how to get it for them - especially by delegating to others" servant. I love having ideas for others to implement, LOL.
Just to finish up, I love BBM, of course. I have seen it in the theater about 20 times, and got the DVD a little bit early and have watched some bits several times. Not the ones you might think (I have watched those too), but rather the little campfire scenes up on the mountain and then later in their lives too. One of my favorite moments is when they are working on the felled tree together, Ennis sawing and Jack axing. (Although from experience I can say that it would be very jarring to be the sawer and have that sharp axe vibration come up through your arms.) Working together like that on the same useful, important project looks so companionable and so what's the word, I don't know, but it's the thing I want with others, and why I'm here.
