Introduction to Woozles

A woozle is a phenomenon caused by obsessively following one's own footsteps while thinking you are covering new ground. The presence of a woozle generally can be taken as an indication that you have become too focused on your immediate task and need to take a look at the larger picture in order to see where you have gone wrong.

Introduction to This Woozle

This particular woozle, now legally known as Woozalia Nicola Jadzia Rayner Staddon, can be contacted via various methods listed here, and is commonly found in Durham, NC (where she lives with her hypertwin, Harena) and various places on the internet.

Woozle is now switching to first person for the rest of this page. Do not adjust your sets.

+Other stuff besides writing:
-* [[vbz.net]], an online store which is operating but under reconstruction.

+===History===
+* [[/school]]: report cards and stuff
-I'm kind of just starting to recover from being essentially buried by co-responsibility for my [[hypertwin]] [[User:Harena|Harena]]'s [[Josh|autistic son]], whom we finally placed in a good long-term home in February 2011. I keep going back and forth between trying to earn a living and trying to do something useful. Funny how those two are incompatible.
+==Other==
-===The Back Burner===
+* [[Anna Nikola|Mine bio-offspring]] ([[:category:Anna Nikola|pictures and such]]) works in Atlanta and performs all over the place with two different bands (Saline and Scooterbabe).
-There are a number of things I'd like to be doing but lack one or more critical elements.
+* I'm not related, as far as I know, to [http://www.staddonfamily.com/about/ these folks] ([http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/13/AR2009111303900.html?hpid=sec-religion 2009-11-13 news item]) or to [http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/zimbabwe/content/story/335560.html Stanley Staddon of Zimbabwe]
-* '''Recording studio''': I have enough equipment to set up a small but income-generating recording studio; I lack the space, and I also wouldn't have the time to run it on a daily basis (at least until the [[Josh]] situation improves). I could, however, help get it set up and put some time into technical maintenance.
+* [[/drafts]]: a place to keep drafts so I can show them to people (not used recently)
-* '''VBZ expansion''': I ultimately want to make [[vbz.net]] easier to run and hand over its daily operation to someone else; eventually I'd like to see it move into a physical storefront, and expand from there. I would also like to offer more work by local artists and musicians, as this is why I got into online retail in the first place.
+* my [[User:Woozle|internal/notes page]], most of which probably won't mean anything to anyone else
