One toe in the water

My first online journal was and is on a privately owned website, where only 30 people ever had access and only 10 of those ever read it. Some of my friends talked me into a more public journal, so here it is.

I am becoming more and more like my Grampa Arnold, a curmudgeon extraordinaire. I haven't quite gotten to his status, but despite what Cleveland Amory may have said in "The Cat and the Curmudgeon" about a woman's inability to attain curmudgeonhood, I am well on my way to being a curmudgeonette. I like being at home, where it is quiet, and peaceful, and if I can't find something, it is because I put it somewhere safe, not because someone else touched it and got their cooties on it. I'd rather be sitting at the computer than sitting in a bar, and I'd rather be digging in the garden than digging a concert. Probably the only thing that saves me from total hermitidity is my need to earn money.

There. That oughtta be enough rambling to scare off any random strangers...

The proper term for a curmudeon who is female is hermudgeon.

I done told you that.
