Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
I participated in this, the FTSF bloghop, last Friday after a semi-brief hiatus and enjoyed myself as much as when I wrote my very first FTSF post. As I mentioned last week, I hope to be able to return to this ‘hop, provided I can manage my time. Today will be an experiment, in that I have a video interview with Friend of the Doctrine zoe that I just completed that I want to post and I still want to write this Post. My first thought was, ‘hey! combine the two Posts into one!’ A few of my Doctrine friends do this and do it quite well, Michelle and Lizzi come to mind. But they are writing a Post that legitimately can be read by ‘either’ audience. I do not believe that I could do that with my Video Post and have too much respect and fondness for the hostinae of this here bloghop here to duct tape a Post and pass it off as a FTSF. So I will try this: write a standalone Post (very touching and clever and provocative, of course) and post it as a featured Post and link it to the FTSF. I will publish ‘the zoe Interview’ and post that as the Lead Story. (all of this is probably un-necessary, as the Readers (and Writers) that I have been lucky enough to hang out with are pretty damn and would have figured it all out by themselves.
So, Stephanie and Kate and Janine walk into a strip club… upon entering the semi-dark room, they hear a voice from a table in front a small stage, “hey! over here!! I got a bag full of 5’s and 10’s!!” As the house lights dim, the three sit down with Kristi…
“I’m done with school, but…”
I still find myself: wondering if I walk funny1; trying to make the small letters exactly half the height of my capital letters2; having nothing but confidence when required to take a test, irrespective of whether I know a single thing about what I am being tested on3; being intimidated by attractive people, especially opposite gender-ettes4; continue to believe (that) demonstrations of intelligence trumps consistent performance every time5; loving to read books of fiction and books of fact and hating being the Outsider6,7
There you have it! My FTSF Post.
You know how, in a lot of the Doctrine Posts, I appear to present myself as this modest, self-effacing, semi introvert blog writer and all? Maybe I’m the last to know, but I don’t think I’m quite as much the shy person I think people think I am, the reason I say that is the following:

First yay!!
lol (I know, no matter some people may say, it is totally fun to be FRIST comment)
Ok, now that I got that out of the way, lol! Honestly, though I could totally see myself having fun with all three ladies and pairing Kristi as the ringleader truly made me giggle. I love her to pieces and for some reason I know everyone thinks she would fit this role perfectly, but trust me I am pretty independent thinker and could totally see myself leading us all there just as easily. In all seriousness though, so glad you pulled double duty here today and joined us again and very happy to have you linking with us once again. Happy Friday now, Clark!! :)
I’ve not worried about making my small letters exactly 1/2 the size of my capital ones in years. I know that I still run funny though :) … When I was in school my penmanship was quite nice, not anymore though as typing is so much easier and faster.
Have a good Friday and maybe see you again for TToT.

my (penmanship) was rather good, if only because, as one of the more lenient forms of punishment (minor infractions) was to write the weeks spelling words(20 new ones each week) out, 25 or 50 times each… depends on the charges, of course! lol
HAHA to me being the one already sitting down at the strip club with a bunch of fives and tens (wait, people give $10 tips to strippers? gah, and I thought it was all about $1 bills – shows what I know. Or, my age because inflation?). So glad you gave us our very own FTSF post, dude. Awesome stuff. And do I even want to click on the footnotes to know why you’re walking funny????
I have to say I wanted to know why you were walking funny also. Other than the nun was an a****** I mean. I don’t think Catholic school left all of us damaged but it’s definitely left a mark.I got a great education though and I can’t complain about that.
zoe
yeah, I kid the nuns…. (Sister Imelda was actually kinda cute… new sort of a nuntina, of course I was what 10 years old and totally ill-equipped to take a lesson in the minefield of inter-personal and inter-gender relations) lol
I have some of that writing paper for my daughter – her writing is pretty much a mirror of mine – atrocious.
Piper
funny you should say that, though I don’t have the marked paper, I have a total affinity for yellow legal pads to this day!
