what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?: Not having to take tests to prove that your advancing.
not being forced to be the typical.
Being able to be yourself in a learning environment without getting punished for it.

how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?: on and off all my life.

a little about me: Slightly dyslexic public school drop out with a passion for music.

At 1:35pm on January 1, 2009, Valerie said…: Happy New Year, G! Oh, i said that already. like 13 hours ago. LOL

At 5:04pm on December 1, 2008, Valerie said…: LOL. Then you best be nice to the lady who owns the dome homes.

At 8:26am on November 24, 2008, Valerie said…: Hhhm, I've seen the red/white/blue. But do you remember her outfit? OK, so that may not gather so much attention here, what with Leslie and his lingerie.
LOL. the power to have conversations about superpowers . . . . Definitely one of my powers. In fact, speculating about stuff is one of my very favorite things to do. Ya know - "so what it be like if . . . ." Now, back to super powers - what are yours?

At 5:48am on November 24, 2008, Valerie said…: You don't think the red, white and blue extravagant swimsuit thingy would give it away? I do like the laser-eye idea. Maybe bending time and space would be far more interesting. I could see some humorous moments with that power.

At 7:45pm on November 23, 2008, Valerie said…: WOW - Lennon and Jaggar. Nice post.

At 7:44pm on November 23, 2008, Valerie said…: LOL. Subtle? ME? Snicker. OK, how about a Samurai? NO? OK, how about sniper with appropriate machinery? NO? OK, uhm, how about deceptively sweet motherly type? (Ick) None of those are subtle are they? OK, how about I just be plain authentic? Guess I have to do it the hard way.

BTW, nice pic. (Wow, it's been awhile since I've listened to Tom Petty - brings back memories of roller-skating. Oh yeah!)

At 6:09pm on November 23, 2008, Valerie said…: Just wanted to say hey. Feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Did I ever mention that I was the co-founder of the "Non-Confrontational Weinies Club?" Well, looks like I'm gonna have to step outside my comfort zone and take some stuff and some people on. Maybe I'll wear black and be a ninja. LOL.

At 8:39pm on November 18, 2008, Valerie said…: Hey! It was great to see you today, however briefly. This owning and running a business is beginning to wear on my good humor :\

Next time I promise to hang around and be more fun, rollicking, laughing, delightful to the point of irritation.

At 7:06pm on November 16, 2008, Valerie said…: Ah, the "she'll take this literally" ploy. Haven't tried that tactic in a while. ;D

At 10:04am on November 16, 2008, Valerie said…: What's the equivalent of the pony express in a vacuum? XP

At 9:04pm on November 13, 2008, Valerie said…: Oh. There's not mail service in space. . . . . yet.

At 10:01pm on November 12, 2008, Valerie said…: Where DID all the time go? It seems to have sauntered off somewhere. Perhaps it's with my brain. On occasion my brain scampers off and a few days later I get an interesting postcard from somewhere exotic like Argentina or a really old library. I'm jealous of my brain sometimes.

At 9:26pm on November 12, 2008, Valerie said…: Duuuuuuuuuude. I'm in Waco for the WHOLE week. I hope I get to see you all next week. You better not call in sick. I want to show you some awesome photography tricks if you're up for it.

At 8:33pm on November 10, 2008, Valerie said…: I'm in Waco for training so if you're coming in to the SW side of Austin I won't see you. . . countdown sequence commencing . . . 5 . . . 4 . . .3 . . .2 . . 1 . . .

At 5:19am on November 8, 2008, Valerie said…: I like your mom already. Actually, I had finally given up regular overwhelm moments, and then I went and added the running of a business to my schedule and now instead of my plate being full, I'm actually working on having a bigger plate. :D Mostly 'boom' comes in the tackling of a new "thing" when I'm not sure of what to do or maybe what needs to be done and that starts the countdown sequence for brain explosion.
