[stylist] sharing

Oh man, law school online, that would be something, smile. My mom told me I
wasn't smart enough for law school, but others told me they thought I would
make a good lawyer, go figure. Actually, it recently came up during my
little sister's divorce hearing. I mentioned how I would consider law school
if I didn't have kids, which is why I'm considering my MFA. My mom told me
that was best, and as a mom, it would be too difficult. Literally, in the
next breath, she said how my other sister, who has three kids and is a
teacher, should still consider getting her law degree. She had taken the
LSAT years ago but didn't pass, but my mom thinks she should try again.
Right, so one sister who's a mom should not do something, but it would be
perfectly acceptable for the other sister, with more kids, to do it... sigh.
Story of my life.

Bridgit,
I salute you. Smile.
And if you ever go to law school, perhaps I will enroll, if it is on-line. I
was told the same thing.

Jackie,

I started using LOL and writing smile and such for that very reason of not
wanting what I say to be taken out of context.

Every class I ever took involving public speaking in both high school and
university, I received A pluses. I was also very involved in music and
theatre, majoring in vocal performance and minoring in theatre back at
university my first time around. I was also on the debate team in high
school and junior high. At university, I didn't have time for it, but I took
several public speaking classes in addition to theatre classes. When I went
back to get my degree in writing, I took a few public speaking and theatre
classes and received A plus in all those classes once again, smile.

Bridgit,
Like you, I try to use logic. Like you, I sometimes do not understand the
emotional reaction to something I did not mean to offend. Unlike you, I do
not use words or symbols to explain what I meant. Like, LOL.
In high school, when I was so shy and inconfident, I wrote my philosophy of
life, and my teacher, also head of the debate team, called on my folks and
talked them and me into joining the debate team. From there it was all over
the place, the University of Chicago, etc. where he made me take either side
of an argument. That experience probably changed my life  significantly. I
learned that with logic, one can take either side of an argument.
It is the conditioning from birth that often decides which side a person
will take.

Sem,

Oh god, can't believe I know this much, but like Spock, I am deeply
passionate underneath it all but have learned to rule my emotions and see
things from a more logical standpoint, smile. Especially when in an
argument, I tend to see and argue the logical points, leaving out personal
feelings. I focus on arguments people make, avoiding any personal, emotional
involvement, but then I don't understand when others don't see and do things
the same way. I tend to belabor a point because of this logic, not always
understanding why the other party involved in any given discussion/debate is
getting heated and/or taking things personally. For example, a person can
state an opinion or discuss a point, and if I address a differing view, I
tend to focus on that point or opinion alone, but often, the other person
reads sub-text into the debate, which can lead to miscommunication and
misunderstanding, and I don't always get it, ha-ha! Ross says I should have
been a lawyer, and I considered it once upon a time, but I think that ship
has sailed. People do it, but I'm 34 with a young child, and law school is
intense and takes up so much time. I have friends and family who are
lawyers, and they are glad they went to law school before having a family.

Hi, Brigit.
I can't really get into most scoff, Trek included,but I do like Spock as
like your husband, many of my Tricky friends call me Spock for the same
reasons. LOL. I'm learning to not allow my logic to constantly rule me,
though, as it can get in the way of my psychic intuition at times and it
screws me over.
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
