10 (or so) things

[beetiger]

1) I was on exhibit at the Museum of Natural History.
2) I recieved a Master of Arts degree in a hard science.
3) I dropped out of nursery school.
4) I've found herkimer diamonds lying sparkling on the ground after a hard snow without panning or digging for them.
5) I was a nude model while pregnant.
6) My high school burned to the ground.
7) I can walk into a grocery store and buy foods I have invented.
8) I found a baby snake in the toilet in my home.
9) I performed in both the male and female choruses in one performance of the same fully-staged Gilbert and Sullivan show.
10) I missed a job interview due to sliding off the road and on to someone's front lawn. The person who helped me was very nice, but thought I was Mennonite.
Bonus!)I had three drunken frat boys come out of the closet(literally)of my dorm room, interrupting me and my visiting sweetie.

#8 - I find myself checking the toilet every once and a while to make sure there aren't snakes there. I read a book when I was in elementary school where a girl found a snake in the toilet, and I've been a little paranoid about it ever since. And that's with thinking that it couldn't happen!
Thanks for validating my paranoia. ;)

Well, having lost a baby snake makes it quite a bit more likely. Though I was still surprised -- it hadbeen gone for weeks, and we assumed it had gone into the walls or the cat had gotten it.

#7 Is this food that is available nationwide or locally? I'm curious if I could buy food you invented at MY grocery store. :)

Definitely! I've worked on Haagen Dazs ice creams, Slim-Fast, Seagram's wine coolers, and Diet Pepsi/Pepsi One, plus probably some other things I'm forgetting.

Which Haagen Dazs flavors (or would it not be a specific flavor)?

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

A bunch of them, though the ones I'm proudest of are the Vanilla and Chocolate Mousse soft-serves (only in the shops, not supermarkets, alas.) I also helped fix Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough when it was broken.

Wow! I think I've had that!

When I worked for Maxwell House I worked on:

• Maxwell House International Coffees, (a failed coffee-frozen-dessert project),


• The Plastic Brick Pack, to replace the paper sack sold (then) mostly in Southern States,


• Remember "Max Pax"?

and a number of others.

Are the coffee "flakes" still being sold?
[Lots of coffee, an unused cornflaker machine found in a back corner of the "lab", some free time...]

I didn't know you were in the industry!
*thinks*
Actually, I'm not at all sure where I know you from at all.

Who the heck are you, anyway?!? :)

Who the heck are you, anyway?

I've been trying to figure that out for a LOOONG time.

I don't think we've ever met - my time at Maxwell House was in the mid-70s.

We DO seem to have a lot of lj-friends in common, though.

That is really, really cool.

Huh. Wow. Can I get explanations on #1 and #10? A /Mennonite/?

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

I was working in Museum Reproductions, and they were casting the Tyrannosaurus without wated to dismantle it. So we worked on exhibit during regular museum hours. I told little kids we were putting the skin back on and trying to bring it back to life.

I think the Mennonite thing was because I was wearing my very long hair in a braid along the back of my head, had on a conservative and formal-for-Ithaca sort of dress, and was obviously not very used to driving. :P I didn't really understand it.

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

wated -> wanting. Erg, late.

[cktraveler.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I have to ask this ...

For #6, was it full of vampires at the time?

[collie13.livejournal.com]

No! No, it wasn't, not at all! It was... asbestos! Yeah -- it was full of harmful asbestos, really! ;)

[atroposnomore.livejournal.com]

wow. you have one hell of an interesting life!

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

It's been fun so far.

[marrionettegirl.livejournal.com]
