To answer Don Henley's question from the song " I Will Not Go Quietly", LilRabbitFooFoo.com evolved from my "alter ego" known as the HitBunny. It was something my husband, OrionEngnr, babbled repeatedly in his sleep. I woke up out of a deep sleep hearing it and decided that was uttered for me to hear.
Say whuut?? I'm certified in ThetaHealing, a modality used for changing negative energy into positive. I thought this was a perfect nickname cos a HitBunny — like a hitman — can make bad things go away. Yes, I'm a bit of left of center when it comes to people's expectations. Blame it on 40+ years of sitcom tv shows or boredom or surviving being run over by an SUV when I was 35.Yeah, my bells got rung.
I'm a life long quasi-computer
nerd who is also a den mother to 3 huskies who have their own
website — RabidJackal.
By "quasi", I mean I went to programming school only to be taught by
the COBOL language that I was not prepared for that kind of mental
abuse. The upside to learning that lesson was that the same language
also took my teacher down with me! Yeah — I am a bit sadistic that
way.
Mr Teacher spent 2 weeks dissecting my programming code in search of
the error. I dropped the class then took it again at the next class
cycle a couple weeks later. That break was my saving grace. I
"easily" passed it on the second try. The reason this was such a
ball buster was cos COBAL is very much like writing a story where
you need a PHD or 3 in literacy....
While that 2 weeks of dissection was mind numbing, Mr Teacher
finally found my error! It was a comma instead of
a period that I wrote! That's how serious
programming is! And that's the reason I didn't pursue a programming
career. I already had some grey hair before I went to programming
school — I didn't want to go bald before I turned 23!
So now... I'm not the full-blooded nerd I considered myself to be
after I disassembled my first RadioShaft Tandy computer with a 35mb
hard drive; and then reassembled it to its working functionality on
the first try to turn on the power! My dad did NOT have a heart
attack at the prospect of him losing $200 or $ 300 for that
computer. Yay, me!
I graduated as a programmer and that school led me to the best job I
ever had — making edits to banking websites, then later, proofing
programmers' work to the banking websites. I was at the forefront of
internet and cellular banking. And I was there as we all went from
1999 to 2000. It wasn't the catastrophic adventure all nerds were
prepared for. Whew!
Meeting my now husband, OrionEngnr,
and giving up that career to move out of state with him led to all
new adventures that I could almost compare to Indiana Jones
adventures. If all that change wasn't enough, life dramatically
changed in July of 2018 when I survived a hemorrhagic stroke. It was
the same kind of stroke that my paternal grandfather succumbed to as
well as a prior paternal grandfather who was in the outhouse when he
had a stroke!... And ultimately died of an obstructed airway when he
fell. So all things considered, I'll happily take the rigid
spasticity my stroke gifted me with then grumble, bitch and moan
while I take my toys and hobble home....
I do may do all these paper
crafts by hand but my mind gets a say in it all. Unfortunately, the
lines of communication between the body and brain are still
disconnected and fried. :( To help me filter through neuroplastic
brain rewiring, I have to break it up into parts. As a lifelong
writer, I need to work this all out in my mind the way I used to in
college: screenplay writing! This is where character development
enters in. There's the HitBunny.
I make by (one) hand and sell through this site funds my mental
therapeutic recovery. Here's where card crafting gets a little
complicated: All of my artistry is appearing appear on GraphX-Studio.Com.
Integrating these avenues are resulting in well groomed huskies in
an extra crispy Texas summer, a well stocked crafting inventory and
my left hand is beginning to learn it needs to earn its keep now
that it "remembers" what it needs to do!
My site is currently a work in progress. Stay tuned!
