Hi Librarian, I've got your call number
« on: November 21, 2004, 01:44:29 AM »
Hi Librarian,

I realize that I inadvertently left you with enough info several months back that if you have a quick mind and a good memory and a curious mind (you seem to have the first two qualities) you may have been reading my stuff on here and know who flower is. Well, I was under a lot of stress when my harddrive died and right  after I left the library, I thought, "oh, no." That's one reason I deleted my posts that I didn't clarify here. If you have been here reading my stuff I say either "shame on you" or welcome, you must feel voiceless too.  Maybe I'll write a book after my parents leave this world anyway and tell the whole strange tale and everyone will know who flower is anyhoo. (I think most of us on this board could write fascinating life stories.) Anyway, librarian,  I kinda think you are too busy and professional to have read my posts anyway. They really aren't that interesting. But sometimes people do get curious, because we are human.  So "I'm watching you" too or else I say, Welcome!

Now some wise acre may pretend to be the librarian so I'll put you to a test.  What is the question I asked you one day and why would the answer seem so obvious to just about anyone else? What was the solution was I looking for? And if you can't remember that, Librarian, remember the reference question that found interesting, almost strange results on your computer about  certain kind of professionals who shared  a commonality?  What is the profession and the commonality? Also what does your library care about that was made so clear to me one day by another librarian and that you humorously reinforced as an aside a little later by saying, "We care."

Sorry everyone but I had to post this. I guess I got creeped out. Living in a small city is the pits. I used to have an almost eidetic memory and a good verbal memory (and my husband says I still have a better than normal memory) so I know that it is humanly possible to answer those questions if one has the memory one would have to have to remember the word "voiceless" the next time I saw them, as the librarian remembered. The librarian called my family, the "voiceless family." Please don't ask me how my lips slipped. edited out something about a family memberI wasn't thinking about privacy at the library that day. In fact I was so under stress it took me months before I even really cared if someone might know my identity here. Guess I'm at a low spot lately and reremembered and got creeped out again.  The support here is so helpful it  has outweighed my misgivings about posting here.
 
 Which of you have considered publishing your life story for the benefit of others?

Hi Flower.

You always bring up such interesting Topics. I tend to just answer them.

I've thought about it many times throughout my life. I think what I'd rather do is  write about other things. Incorporate my life's lessons within my stories, but nothing autobiographical. I find the more I work through my issues, they drop away from my interest. I don't really want to relive it all.  I want to distill what was most poignant and meaningful into short stories. Then I think I don't want to write at all. I just want to lose myself in every good book I can find to read - which would happily fill my lifetime. I've lived a life of introspection, maybe what I want from here on is to just look out and enjoy. Phoenix

As for myself I've been very introspective for years and I like the way you say "just look out and enjoy." That looking out and enjoying was what I was like as a child. I was action oriented and was always skating, biking, climbing (on roofs too!) , swinging, crawling under the house, under my bed, sliding down the stairs (at least trying,) making tree forts, damming a creek to make a swimming hole etc.


Yes! That was me as well. How wonderful to be that way again.

My father always seemed to favor my sister, but he always remarks how I am special because I am his first born. I think I was the cup to be filled of all his ideals and high expectations he has of himself, where my sister reflects a more accurate picture of what is really important to him.  He  has a more congenial relationship with her.

Guess what? I  just went to retrieve my coffee cup out of the microwave, where it boiled over- I  left it in too long. It is my Flower cup- it has happy flower faces in a cartoon garden setting with honey bees. LOL

Another of the flora sort here:

I was intrigued by the title and this thread seems like a very nice and friendly one thankfully--but boy am I ever lost with a capital "L" on the initial message! I guess whoever it was directed at knows who they are and what is going on.

I honestly can't tell either way but I hope it is not something neg. going on for you Flower.

Thanks for asking about my name. For some unknown reason I love all things oriental, even though I was born & raised in the US-LOL! That includes the many beautiful flower varieties in that part of the world.That's where my name comes from :)

Take care.
