Introductions

Allow me to introduce myself.

Name's Doody.  Doody? Like Poop? No. No relation.  Or you can just call me Gerbil.  Or Gerb for short. But if your inner 6th grader finds the Doody thing hilarious, then I'll accept the first name basis too.  I've got a very specific set of skills, which  I will describe later.  I was Catholic born and raised, but I consider myself God-neutral at this point.  I'm not a vegan or a vegetarian, but I find a necessary simplicity inherent to vegetables and legumes and grains that soothes me.  I like technology, PBS, and oatmeal.  I enjoy board games, card games, sports, and World of Warcraft (it's my secret guilty pleasure if ever there were one).  Interior design and "decorations" are a waste of time and energy.  Utilitarian is my middle name.  I'd rather receive a blender and some socks for Christmas than anything pretty or fancy.  Socializing is great, but I choose not to drink because I don't find a purpose in it.  I prefer to ride my bike than to drive a car.  

I think you get the picture.


Skills I'm proud to have acquired: crocheting, basic knitting, gardening, cooking, basic automotive repair, the playing of various musical instruments

Skills I hope to acquire soon: sewing

What is this "web log" of which you speak?

Time to catch up with humanity.  The 2000's was a time for everyone to have a blog.  Not now.  That's old hat.  But I'm behind the curve.  It's just my style.  I wait until after the throngs of boobs hit the buffet line, and  in my own time, I find food from the scraps left behind.  

Soon to come: a collection of things that I've found and things that I've done to make life simpler.  Not to be cool, not to be prettier or flashier than anyone else, not to be more lucrative or more healthy.  Just to get life back to basics.  To simplify emotions, traditions, livelihood.  And you're more than welcome to follow me on my way.
