Tuesday, 14 December 04 :: i baited a crazy person

yes, i baited my crazy neighbor. yes, i admit i did it cause i was in a bad mood and wanted to take it out on her, rather than a friend. (YES, I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE DEALT WITH IT IN A MUCH HEALTHIER WAY) little did i realize HOW crazy she was. now my sane, yet very pompous, neighbor is pissed at me. (EVEN THOUGH my reaction back to crazy neighbour was not pissed but in fact sympathetic and i called a social worker friend to see if there was anything that could be done to help crazy neighbor (instead of lawyer friend to see into a restraining order) -- yes, she is truly delusional) all pompus neighbour wants to do is point out how WRONG i was... even though i admitted it over and over and over and over and over and over and over, and over, and over and.......

too many NOT humble people are telling me i don't know how to relate to people. yes, i know i need work (lots), but SO DO THEY. and when i admit i'm wrong, see i got it and back off.. ESPECIALLY when i know exactly why i did what i did, what specific incident caused me to do it, what physical symptoms caused me not to react well to said specific incident.

thank god for my humble friends. thank the goddess. at least when i admit i'm wrong they don't continue to press. they accept that i know the lesson i'm to learn and move on.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
