Outside of schools, people tell me I'm an artist. Go figure.<br /><br />I don't think I would be able to sit around and make stuff all day. I am better against deadlines or towards specific goals. Plus I have a utilitarian side that needs to invent and make things work better, not just create beauty. I think unlimited play time would be bad for my muse, not good.<br /><br />Young Andrew I have to confess, I never gave much thought to your relationship situation. I guess there is a wholeness/completeness vibe that comes through in your writing. Or perhaps I just assume such things to be none-of-my-beeswax and just don't trip about them.<br /><br />That said, my contraptor wanna be heart is completely jealous about the robot rumors, however! Nobody thinks anything exotic about me (that I know of.)<br /><br />Oh, when is your book coming out?lorrwillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671379391189827831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-87529360554624256252009-12-15T15:20:28.393-08:002009-12-15T15:20:28.393-08:00You look really good for being 147 years old!

Some of the more colorful stories revolve around me being a vampire or being a robot. It's funny how small truths, like me being a night-owl or having oily skin will morph into something completely unexpected.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-83100960539076285792009-12-14T18:04:36.809-08:002009-12-14T18:04:36.809-08:00Well said, 'nuff said!Well said, 'nuff said!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439309308916922626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-12581855541591396212009-12-14T15:50:47.877-08:002009-12-14T15:50:47.877-08:00Thank you for sharing.

I guess there are too many blogs out there where people post about the minute, boring details of their life, so they assume that if you don't post about doing the dishes, you don't do them (obviously, since you're independently wealthy, your maid does them).<br /><br />Nothing but eating and creating... what a decadent lifestyle!AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398414928556655066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-88026496786830029292009-12-14T10:30:55.359-08:002009-12-14T10:30:55.359-08:001.

Mystery is my name.<br /><br /><b>2. I don't sit around and eat and make things all day. </b> Me neither. Sometimes I shower, brush my teeth, and work very hard.<br /><br /><b>3. Speaking of loved ones, I'm not single. </b> Me neither, mystery is still my name!<br /><br /><b>4. I live in Pennsylvania now. </b> I don’t live there, but my home is in need of so many renovations that I wish I lived there so I could have workmen busy here, while I sort things in Pennsylvania. Sounds so much like Transylvania, I love it!<br /><br /><b>5. I'm not a wise, old sage.</b> I am. But I don’t want to rub it in your face, stories available upon request only.<br /><br /><b>6. I don't think that you have to go to an art school to be an artist. </b> I’ve spent years wondering what is “art”. Best description I’ve heard yet is “something that makes someone smile”. Lots of people do that without any school, let alone art school!<br /><br /><b>7. I'm not religious. </b> My story is much like yours, although I may be religious, depending on who gets to define the word/concept!<br /><br /><b>8. I don't hate Christi Anderson.</b> I never heard of her, although if hate is the opposite of love, and love is someone you care about greatly, then hate is someone you don’t care about at all, and I don’t care about someone I’ve never heard of, then maybe I do hate her.<br /><br /><b>9. I don't hate feet.</b> You did promise not to post those photos, same breathe when you promised not to post pictures of people wearing items with words across their butts. I think the feet would be more interesting.<br /><br /><b>10. I'm not 147 years old as some of my profiles might suggest.</b> Well, darn! And here I was thinking I’d found a contemporary! <br /><br />Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be a smart-ass. lolLynnhttp://www.annechoi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-36596932513725095192009-12-14T07:30:13.544-08:002009-12-14T07:30:13.544-08:00Wha?

But I kind of like it that way, Andrew. People are silly, really. Why would they say those things or worse believe any of them? I am proud of you being who you are, and that is why I like to come here. I just moved myself (only three miles north, but still) and I know what a hassle that is. You just keep taking it one day at a time and know that those of us who truly appreciate you would never think those things. <br />Enjoy the day!<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-75137397000027547922009-12-14T07:03:27.311-08:002009-12-14T07:03:27.311-08:00love this post andrew. yes, it is sort of funny so...love this post andrew. yes, it is sort of funny sometimes the assumptions you might have about a person you know only online.
