I spent part of my night watching Star Trek (First Contact). I love Star Trek TNG. Picard >> Kirk.
One of the things this movie reminded me of is that in ST there is no money. The economics of the future are opposite of those of today. The concept of life without money - a people so involved in bettering themselves and their people that one-upping isn't the concern - it's my dream in a sense.
I love engineering. I love learning and even accept the occasional failings since the lessons stick so much better when you missed on the first chance. I love knowing that things I work on provide something people need (water) safely and in an environmentally conscious manner.
I would love my job regardless of pay because I love solving problems.
I can’t imagine what it would feel like to be able to do what I love without money ever being a factor… must be amazing.

Well, maybe you aren't this extreme, but you're in league with the crazy scientists/mathmeticians of today. Very few people have the talent of math and science is something takes a lot of brains as well. Thank whosever God you worship, or don't worship, so thank no deity whatsoever in your case, for you people! Most of us would have died off without your help. | |

Frickin' transforms. Damn them, damn them all to math-oblivion… and their little bastard exceptions and Idiosyncrasies, too! Grr...
So, my current dog (a german shepherd) is 100% love. She loves other animals. I'd love to have a friend for her because she would be so happy, but another GSD is a commitment I'd rather not make right now. On the other hand, I saw a long coat Chihuahua at the pet store and CUTE! So, I'm totally thinking that this little darling is my baby's new BFF.
I have names:
- Howard Hughes
- Gidget
- Spock
- Jean Luc
- Coco
- Missoni
Too cool...
My husband and I both grew up in Christian households which celebrated Christmas and took part in every piece of the celebration possible. His mom last year had two Christmas trees. One tree for the red, white, and blue decorations and an entirely separate tree in another room adorned with the other ones. Hardcore, isn’t she?
Last year we went to the tree farm and picked out a really pretty, tall, fancy tree which I had tons of fun stringing lights on and decorating with all sorts of little ornaments from my childhood which my mom and dad had packed up for me to use on my very own tree (since I’m such a certified grown up now). My husband I believe cooked and then played on the internet while I did the decorating.
This year: we have no tree. Not feeling it. No decorations. Nothing. It's New Wave Christmas: we send the cards out and go to the parties. Hell, I might even put a snow globe on the mantle and stockings, too (mine’s pink velvet) – but there’s not a chance of me dragging out bins of décor only to make myself spend all that time putting them on display and then having to spend twice that putting it all back away in less than a month. Time is money and Santa doesn’t pay me. Husband’s mom has two trees anyhow. I can visit them and say hello if I start feeling sad.
Besides, I like my house not looking like some green and red monster puked shiny things everywhere.
