1. When are you going to try your hand at sculpting?
I have a plan and a bundle of wire, but I dunno when more will happen. I would like to do more clay modeling but it's hard. I don't know how I could manage sculpting - it requires more kit than I can store, I think.
2. How did you reach your diagnosis of "social phobia"? Is that a "thing", or a name you chose for your feelings?
A friend asked me one night whether I was an introvert, because many of my characteristics don't mesh with that label but then again, many seem to. And I made up "extrovert with a social phobia" on the spot, and it really seems to fit.
3. Are you and Rob planning to have more children? I've never asked you, not that it's my business particularly.
We have not decided not to, but nor have we conclusively decided that we definitely will, which is interesting, because I've always wanted BABY MORE BABY NOW BABY BABY NOW since I was 14, and being almost 33 and not feeling that way is new and unsettling.
4. Do you feel like you're culturally British now, to any degree? Or still an Irish emigrant living here for economic/political reasons? (sorry but emigration/acculturation is still on my mind, Kat's Q was a corker)
Being an Irish emigrant makes me VERY traditional in the land of my forebears, you know. I don't feel British and would find it a weird label to apply to myself, but I know my children are, and more, they are English, as well as part-Irish. I am happy with a national identity of "Irish emigrant" - it's a pretty long-established group.
5. What can I do, in the reasonably near future, to make you somewhat happy, or at least cheerful?
I'm often cheerful! I just don't need to whine about that part. I think if I can get off this procrastination crap and get two sets of paperwork done for two persons to get mental health support in the family, things will be easier. Or at least more productively difficult.
Five questions for the questioner:
1) Do you mark anniversaries? that is, are specific dates important to you?
2) Do you develop emotional attachments to objects?
3) How do you decide which protest marches to attend? Head or heart?
4) Should we do a regular letter-writing thing, like write weekly or monthly to politicians about important stuff? You recently wrote an excellent letter.
5) Would you ever have a large block of vivid colour in your home? Larger than a double duvet, say?
