Taking A Cue

[madshutterbug]

Perusing the Reading List (LJ calls it the Friends List, and in quite a few cases it winds up being so but some are there because they are interesting to read), there are a number of relatively new names. So I shall take a cue from one of my friends who became a friend because of the Reading List and say this.

It's Five Questions Time. Y'all get five shots to ask away. Five questions, five answers. What could be easier?

Management reserves the right to tell you to bloody well sod off if you get too nosy. Management does not say that you can't ask. Participation is entirely voluntary, and neither limited to newcomers nor obligatory. This is not a meme, I'm just taking a cue as a way to get to know folks some more.

A Car

Is a means to get from point A to point B with a minimum of fuss and (preferably) a pleasant maximum of dogs.

That said, I do like the Subaru Outback we currently own.

Dream car, though... comfortable, highly economical to operate, and FUN! Standard Transmission, baby!

I want to know more about how you became a nurse and what motivates you and how you feel when you see something you want to photograph! I know that is not in the form of a question.

I am the Accidental Nurse. I did not grow up wanting to be a Nurse, rather a Pilot. Fly Jets. Trying to become an aviation officer candidate while being an Engineering Student my rich Uncle, Sam told me this wouldn't happen as I See Colours In My Own Unique Manner. However, I could be a Hospital Corpsman as apparently one doesn't need to see that blood is red in order to recognise that someone is bleeding to death. When I got near to the end of my career as an HM, the various engineering programs I consulted about continuing my education all told me I should need to start again at the beginning (mostly) after my four-year sabbatical from study. However, entering a Nursing program I could do a year of pre-requisites not otherwise yet taken, and two years of the Nursing program so as to be able to take care of self with minimal time.

Given the passage of time, I was surprised to learn that I care enough to become active in professional activities.

Hunger motivates me.

How I feel making photograph... easy quick description, very No-Mind. Very Zen. Which is quick and easy and probably sounds smart-ass. Still, I do find that when I am into the process, the creative process (above and beyond the technical, craft aspects), that I really am into a Zone.

OK, even not in the form of questions, that's Three. You've got Two More.

1. Why goats and not sheep?
2. Is a nod as good as a wink to a blind bat?
3. What would you have said if you had a go-over?
4. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, is it a duck, or should you duck?
5. Does a dog have buddha nature?

1. Why goats and not sheep?
Because the sign at the feed store said '5 goats free to good home.'

And sheep are actually rather quite a bit more work.

2. Is a nod as good as a wink to a blind bat?
This perhaps matters only to a blind bat, but the nod should produce more sound than the wink, so I shall theorise that a nod is better than a wink to a blind bat, yes.

3. What would you have said if you had a go-over?
Go over where? I mean, I've been to Scenic Southeast Asia (all expenses paid), NZ, Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas. I should like to go over to Ireland, Great Britian, Germany, and portions of the Meditranian Coast.

4. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, is it a duck, or should you duck?
INCOMING!!!

5. Does a dog have buddha nature?
What is the sound of one paw scratching -- A dog is buddha nature.
