This one time...
Because DrJ asked and it's fun:
Q: What breed of dog do you have?
A: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Q: How old is he?
A: He is 2 years old.
Q:What kind of science did you participate in?
A: I taught high school biology for three years.
Q: What are you doing now?
A: A fat lot of nothing. After moving I haven't gotten a new job. Most days I enjoy being a bum, but sometimes I feel a bit useless/not productive. I'm thinking about focusing on creating stuff for Annearchy.com (which is currently down so I'm not even going to make that a link).
Q:What brought you toGermany Florida?
A: Dave (my husband) didn't care for his old job, ok mostly it was sucking the life right out of him, so he did something about it. The result? A job he really likes and more time to enjoy himself.
Q: How long did it take you to adjust to the massive shift in weather from one to the other?
A: I haven't. I'm going the other way though. It is freakin' hot here all the time. Ok, there was that once when I put on long sleeves. I'm told that it takes a year and half before your "blood thins out" (technical isn't it?) and you adjust to what people here call cold.
Q: What sort of embroidery do you do?
A: Mostly cross-stich. I would really like to learn blackwork!
Everyone join in! Tell me a fun fact about yourself. Woot!

We're sharing! Woot! Okay seriously, here's a fact: the parallels between Susan and DrJ are scary. For just one current example, notice DrJ's recent post about homesickness, which has been Susan's sentiment recently as well. It's almost creepy.
Perhaps, but my level of homesickness cannot even be compared to what she must feel being in a whole 'nother country for *gulp* years.
I don´t know. I think homesickness is homesickness and it doesn´t matter if you´re 10km or 10000km away from what you know and love. It´s just as real to you as it is to me - distance or time doesn´t make one truer than the other.
Wow. That was me sounding all serious and philosophical.
Honest though.
Again, perhaps, but I have the option to, if necessary, drive home. Sure it might take me three days or so, and cost quite a bit in gas, but I could do it (and I have been thinking about it recently). Plus the culture difference is less. While some customs and whatnot down here are erm...different, it is more of a subtle wrongness infusing everything rather than full on culture shock.
It does, however, feel nice to talk (albeit indirectly) to someone who understands.
