I was going to fill out the "For those in Love" meme from winterswitchery, but the questions it asked ended up with ridiculously mushy and silly answers from me...so I'll modify it to my own liking. Really, I just feel like gushing about Dan :-)

I love mine love!
We've been together for over four years.
We originally met online over six years ago.
We've lived together for about a year.
We balance each other perfectly. We're both insane, but in mostly different ways--ways that compliment each other.
He makes me very happy.
He likes to cook, and he's FAR better at it than I am.
He hates to do dishes, but so do I.
As much as we've grown apart in a number of ways that initially drew us together, we've grown together in just as many more.
Nothing makes me happier than just curling up in his arms at the end of a long day.
I didn't realize just how dry my sense of humor was until we started dating. He has the hardest time telling if I'm joking or not.

Anyway...as much as I'd like to go on and on, it's really late and I think I want to go curl up in his arms until he has to get up for work in a few hours. It was a long night at work, and all of that just made me feel better :-D

Oooh...

Somebody posted this in literaryquotes:

I beg you...to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.

Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live with them.

And the point is, to live everything.

Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer...

--Rainer Maria Rilke

I always meant to read more Rilke after I dramaturged Metamorphoses. I fell head over heels for his telling of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Damn. I just realized I want to dramaturg more. That was a terrible amount of work, but I adored it. Of couse, I'm afraid that maybe I only adored it because I was madly in love with the play and the culture. I'm good at research, though, and I love sharing the information I learn. I'm also really good at becoming completely enamored with whatever I happen to be working on at a given moment. Maybe that's a way for me to get involved with the community theatre around here without having to be too much around rehearsals and such...email directors saying I'm interested in dramaturging if they're looking for someone. Of course, the season is pretty much over here, but there's always next season.

Very interesting...

Copied from anthropologist:

Former NOW director finds women make more money

Are women earning more than men?

After more than a decade of research for my book, Why Men Earn More, I discovered that men and women make 25 work-life choices that actually create a wage gap. Men make decisions that result in their making more money. On the other hand, women make decisions that earn them better lives (e.g., more family and friend time).

But what happens when women make the same lucrative decisions typically made by men? The good news ­ for women, at least: Women actually earn more. For example, when a male and a female civil engineer both stay with their respective companies for ten years, travel and relocate equally and take the same career risks, the woman ends up making more. And among workers who have never been married and never had children, women earn 117% of what men do. (This factors in education, hours worked and age.)

....

When we focus our binoculars only on discrimination, we miss opportunities available to women, such as the 80 fields (e.g., financial analysis, radiation therapy, statistics and most engineering fields) in which women now earn more than men.
