when you knit your friends something, they repay you with candy. this cupcake is not just any cupcake, its a cupcake made by saint cupcake! its all in the packaging! myEaster weekend will be spent in Eugene. Jen's picking me up later in the day... copy and paste: "the best art and writing is almost like an assignment; it is so vibrant that you feel compelled to make something in response. suddenly it is clear what you have to do. for a brief moment it seems wonderfully easy to live and love and create breathtaking things. in this section we have archived some of the work that has commanded us in this way. in a sense, these are assignments -- in the same way that the ocean gives the assignment of breathing deeply, and kissing instructs us to stop thinking."

my blog is my assignment. along with knitting things for my friends.

oh yea, my friend asked me to write a BIO about myself. a short one, nothing too fanciful. i'm not good at talking about myself. ;) so i was wondering if you could comment with a few sentences of how you would describe me! again, that is, if you choose to accept this assignment....

A bio on vein eilatan:

Born in 1973 in Ontario, she spent her first years in Windsor, learning French in the local school, and in 1981, she rode with her mom behind the U-Haul to Monticello, Georgia, where she then entered fifth grade in the local public school. Somewhat shy, adjustment to her new life was sometimes difficult, but by middle school, she was in the marching band playing flute and off to Delaware as part of the school's science olympiad team that won the State competition.

She graduated high school at the age of 17, and attended Agnes Scott College. Always assuming she was physically built differently, she discovered, during her first year in college, that she had a cyst the size of a watermelon attached to a fallopian tube, and it was successfully removed in 1992.

She received her degree in chemistry in 1995, and worked briefly for a chemical company in Atlanta, when she soon decided that the work was too dangerous. She then worked for a commercial real estate company and married her college sweetheart.

Both the college boyfriend and real estate job were deadends, so she was liberated and then worked in marketing for Omni Hotels. After working there for several years, she made a lateral shift to Crown Ravinia, and then a country-crossing lateral move to Portland Hilton, where she is loving life today.
