second-rate billing

so here's a question: why does my head hurt so much right now?? it's really annoying. i decided that i'm going to clean out our whole house, room by room, one room per weekend. i wanted to work on the office today. but my head is so irritating that i'm just going to do a little hint of blogging for now. it's a three day weekend anyway, so what's the rush? and, no one is actually requiring me to do this project. i just really like to be organized. i'm not actually that organized of a person, which is probably why i admire organization so much. i want my life to be like a real simple magazine, where everything looks good, is in a the right place, and gets the job done. actually, that's not what i want my life to be like. that sounds too regulated and simplified for any kind of real life. real life requires a good amount of chaos to be worth anything, i think. but that is what i want my house to be like. someday, maybe...probably not though. unless i get rich and hire a housekeeper.

here's a question for the day. this will prove once and for all that no one really reads my blog, which is fine. but the question is, if you could go back to childhood and learn one thing that you don't know how to do now, what would it be? for me, it would be playing a string instrument. specifically the violin, or cello. or the viola, although i have a limited knowledge of violas except that i think they get sort of second-rate billing in orchestras and stuff. is that even true? if you could learn something new and have developed it as a child, what would you choose, and why?

sarah, i read your blog! and the thing i would have liked to learn as a child is another language. which one i'm not sure about. but i really wish i were multi-lingual, and languages are hard for me to learn now, so i wish i had grown up in a bi-lingual home or something...

I read your blog too! I wish could have learned to play the drums as a child. Not only would I be able to be in a cool band like Lane Kim, but I bet it would help with hand-eye coordination as well, which is something I could use a little more of I think. Maybe a lot more...

oh man that is hard. Oh and for the record, I read your blog too, I just forgot for a while. Like a month and a half. Sorry. I need to get emails when you update it to remind me, like I get with myspace blogs. Anyway. Before I read what other people said I was thinking another language too, but since Christy said that I want to be original. So I will say ice-skating. Or gymnastics. But probably ice-skating, because i think it would be so fun to be really good at that. And it's hard to learn now.
