Basic Info| Name: | renae_rude |
|---|---|
| Birthdate: | 1967-05-27 |
| Location: | Stacy, Minnesota, United States |
Biome:
MWF, 40, rural-suburbanite, aspiring-writer. Have worked in a variety of outside jobs, as the family budget requires, throughout mothering career. Have volunteered for several environmental groups and service organizations. Married 16 years. Two kids: F 21 & M 12.
my creed:
I intend to use my innate qualities
to nurture my intimates
and protect the natural world
while recognizing and celebrating the joy in being alive.
my personlity types:
Eneagram: Type 4
Meyers/Briggs: (I or E) NFP
13 things you'd hate about me:
* I smoke. Too much. But am working on cutting back.
* I hate the telephone and neither answer it when it rings nor reliably return messages.
* I procrastinate.
* I have no real perception of the passage of time.
(Days and weeks can go by--I'll seemingly have fallen off the planet--then I'll show up in your life again as if no time has passed.)
* I'm frequently obsessive.
* My moods are unpredictable AND obvious.
* I refuse to pilot a vehicle on real freeways and don't often drive outside my familiar routes.
(It’s a ramp thing. And a raised-bridge-on-a-curve thing. And a terrified-I'm-gonna die-or-kill-someone thing.)
* I'm intolerant of willful or lazy ignorance.
* I seek excessive intimacy ... sometimes inappropriately.
* I'm not a good secret-keeper.
(I will usually try to protect your identity--while I'm telling your story to illustrate a point.)
* I plan more than I do.
* I design more than I build.
* I envision more than I create.
11 topics of endless fascination
* writing & not writing
* psychology and personality
* self-improvement & acceptance
* cyclothymia & mood disorders (aka bipolar II)
* literary & creative lifestyles (inc. artist relationships like Nin-Miller(s) & The Algonquin Round Table)
* paranormal speculation (and scary stuff in general)
* retro: films, clothes, style, celebrities, music etc.
* phenology & environmentalism
* microfarming
* consumerism & sustainability
* giftedness & education
