Guess what! Five long years later, I’ve finally updated the ‘About Me’ section of this blog! I didn’t update it too much, cause I still really like all my original answers from that ridiculously long quiz I posted. Plus I don’t really feel like rewriting the whole thing (don’t get any illusions, I’m still the Queen of Procrastination right now.) But I realized a lot of my answers – especially in the ‘Currents’ section – were five years out of date and a lot of stuff has happened since then. So much has changed, so I might as well update the ‘About Me’ page to reflect that. With the ‘Currents’ section, I left the old answers there, but added new answers to the same questions. Everything else I updated I added “Updated 4/10” in front of it.
So check it out, won’t you? I’d love to know what you think. 🙂
Now I really have to get back to work… I have to write a short bio about myself. That’s what started all this; I was hoping I could just pull something from my ‘About Me’ page so I wouldn’t have to write something new. That’s when I realized it was all out of date. Anyway, I’ve got to write the bio because a print of one of my photographs is being auctioned off for a scholarship fund in honor of Michael C. Rothberg, a very kind, amazing, brilliant man who was unfortunately killed on September 11 in the World Trade Center. I wrote a tribute to him this past 9/11 anniversary, got to know his family. Each year Michael’s family awards scholarships to seniors from Michael’s old high school. Their fund-raising dinner is going to be on May 26, in Sharon, Massachusetts. I donated one of my photographs to be auctioned off and Michael’s Mother wants me to include a bio about myself, as well as the tribute I wrote about her son. It’s kind of emotionally charged work, so I’ve been slowly, slowly trying to get through it this weekend. It’s tough stuff. Besides, even without all the extra added emotion, I’ve always hated writing bios about myself anyway. It always makes me feel all stuffy and self-important or something. Kinda the same reason I avoid using twitter – why should I think anyone cares that I’m eating a pop-tart, watching TV, or going shopping? Hehe.
*sigh* I guess I’d better just get down to it and finish the thing. Time to shirk my title as the Queen of Procrastination. At least for once. Just have to remember, it’s for Michael.
If any of you would like to donate to the scholarship fund, please post a comment below and I’ll send you all the information. It’s a really great cause. They’ve been running the scholarship for seven years now and it’s made a huge difference in the lives of a lot of teenagers.
Thanks, everybody! Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend. 🙂
