schizophrenia

I've always joked that my two hobbies create a bit of schizophrenia, and having suddenly become a Facebook junkie, I have "friends" from both sides. That is, I have poets on my friends list, and I have martial artists on my friends lists. The first thing that happened is that I was invited to two events on the same night. The first is from a poet:

A Poetry Salon at Freight Street Gallery on Saturday night, July 11, starting at 7 p.m.. It will be a chance to mingle with other area poets over potables and edibles and try out the sound of our words there.
The second is from a martial artist:
... is Graduating and you are invited to the Celebration Extravaganza!!! Bring your Swimsuit, towel, Appetite and Party Attitude! From Adult Drinks to Children's Toys, there will fun for everyone! Swimming, Bocci, Horseshoes, Volleyball and FOOD, FOOD, FOOD!!! At dusk there will be a Fireworks display in her honor! We look forward to sharing this special day with you!
Okay, so even I don't have a problem seeing which would be more fun if we go to either!!

But then there's the "status update". Today, I have updates from a poet and a martial artist right after one another.

The poet's status is:
Back from Duluth, which was actually a lovely town right on Lake Superior. I met alot of very talented writers and joined a newly-formed group that we dubbed the "Taconite Poets." As to what taconite is all about, I'll leave that to you and google!

The martial artists status:
trampoline :)

I like having both sets of friends.
