I recently visited my sister's blog, Chaos on the Head, which I have not seen for a while--my loss.

Courtney's most recent post is her response to this blog-challenge:  

Need to list: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random, surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they are being tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So she tagged me.  I started this response yesterday, but it's hard to think about these things--well, fears & goals and surprising bits, mainly.   Joys were easy.

3 Joys

1) Toast with almond butter and honey

2) A cool house on a hot day

3) Camping in the high Uintas with G & Z

3 Fears

1)  That I'll never figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.

2)  The North Pole, in all likelihood, will be ice-free this summer.  (ICE FREE!!! THE NORTH POLE!!!)

3)  That it's all over now, and all for oil. 

3 Goals

1)  To pay attention

2) To write a good book

3) To let my "love be more influential"

3 Current Obsessions/Collections

1)  Photographs

2)  I am obsessed by most things Czech

3)  My obsession with Czech-ness led me on an internet exploration that turned ugly. Last year, a gruesome and complicated crime took place in a town outside Brno, one of the CR's largest cities.  I won't describe it here, but for several ungodly hours, this case became an obsession.  If you want to foul your mind, or if you have no wish to foul your mind but are curious beyond caution, explore this depravity on your own.  

3 Random/Surprising Bits about Me

1)  At one point when I was very young, I danced every day during the summer for several hours.  I danced jazz, modern and ballet.  That summer I danced in point shoes, and my toes would regularly bleed through the pink satin.

2)  One branch of my family can trace its lineage back to Rollo the Viking.  

3)  I believe I have a memory of consciousness prior to acquiring language.

Okay, the end.  Tag: Jen, Hildur, Danna, Jennifer, and Liz.
