Tuesday, 8 November 05 :: invisible

i've never felt more invisible than i did tonight, sitting on the outside of a conversation between two male friends talking about girls.* i knew, in that moment, that it is unlikely that two males have ever spoken about me the way these two men talked about those women. *sigh* maybe its a judgement, maybe its an idea.. but right now it feels really fuckin' real.

*just a note, i know they didn't do it on purpose, they were just talking.

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.
