the zoe Interviews the Wakefield Doctrine ‘hey! look at all the hot women! they seem a little confused about this Post…no! don’t stare and don’t make fun!’

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Today we return to the practice of posting video interviews with interesting Friends of the Doctrine.  (er…. FTSF Readers?  I think you want the block quote section…right down there at the bottom of the Post…there ya go!)

I am fortunate in having zoe agree to do this for us. This is not the false modesty that it may seem, as I am out of practice both from a technical as well as an Interviewer perspective. But I had fun and got something out of this interview and we all know that is the bottom line expectation for anyone joining in with us at the Wakefield Doctrine, have fun and learn something about yourself and the other person. (yeah, a real party animal…I know!)

Three Parts. All over the waterfront. Lets begin!

then…

finally and in conclusion…

 

(don’t forget! tonight is Friday night and George and Jane are expecting you over at their house tonight at 8:00 pm EDST  on the google+ hangout!!  if you don’t know what that means, ask Lizzi or Michelle… they hook you up  real good

Hey!!! FTSF Readers!! Down here… I think this is the section you are looking for…

Foot Note Section:

1) 3rd grade  Sister Imelda, as I walk from the back of the class to the black board, she said, ‘you know you walk a little funny’ she said it out loud… it must of taken me 20 fuckin minutes to get back to my seat, lol  I still think about that when I walk up to speak before a group

2) Elementary School, ‘Our Lady of Mercy School’, totally believers in the palmer method complete with yellow pads of paper with dotted lines halfway between the ‘real’ lines

3) I always seemed to score monster on intelligence and reading tests (my mother, a clark, totally let all her children know how cool it was to read, so it was never a thing that I feared or hated learning) and, for reasons uncertain, I took this to mean that Grades did not count that much so I didn’t bother with the very real work of getting A’s

4) I think this issue appeared and irresistibly  rose up and grew for me in Junior High School  self-image issues (as do most clarks)

5)  Footnote 3   testing confidence held over, well into high school, where the PSAT and SAT lurked in the spring of ‘will  you go to college’ I did not and, to this day,  do not have test anxiety

6) this love-of-reading seems to be a theme… and while I know that the Sentence to be Finished has to do with school, I know for a fact that my love (and unavoidable) proficiency in reading grew from my mother ‘presenting’ reading as a pleasure, gift, something that you reward yourself with…

7) ah…. the Outsider thing.  this relates to one of the three ‘personality types’ of the Wakefield Doctrine (the other two being: the Predator and the Herd Member…corresponding to clarks, scotts and rogers) but, I am feeling guilty for tricking you onto this page, so enough about the Doctrine. If you have questions  join us on the vidchat tonight!

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    And of COURSE I had to know why you were walking funny. Sister whateverhername is sounds like an asshole. Will watch Zoe interview tonight – off to work now.

    good lord if I had a nickel for every freaking nun that gave my entire class a reason to think I was an odd ball …well I might only have a buck fifty ,but the point is that is a hell of a lot of nickels. I swear celibacy must rob you of all social intelligence!

    I would definitely tell anyone that you asked to do the interviews next to go ahead and do it because I also had a really fun time with it. I just wish my phone connections didnt keep copping out on you sorry!

  3. Loved the interview! Brilliant people are great! Congraluations on such an interesting and engaging interview you and Zoe equally contributed to in such a fun manner!

    HAHA to Zoe saying “Thanks for thinking I’m interesting!” such a Clark thing to say, right? UGH to re-examining why we’re all blogging. I think about it all the time. Then I get all into it again, then I wonder why I’m doing it, all over again. I love the community but not the SM time sucker.
    What would you have named your blog when you were 19? Thank GOD they didn’t have blogging when I was 19. I’d probably have done something I thought was all deep and meaningful, but was really a song quote of some sort, like “Lost Souls in a Fishbowl” or something and then talk about the angst of being 19, not even realizing the freedom I had back then.
    Fuck it rhymes with a lot. But nothing as good as just “fuck it.”
    Sister Imelda is a total asshole. Said it before. Saying it again.

    • is sister Imelda clark’s childhood nemesis or that singing nun on the italian x factor who is making a big splash? around here, we say “fuckety fuck!” . I even have it on a bead a friend made for me

        lol no, just a young nun, with too little perspective and too much ego, blocking her from taking the extra step of putting herself in my position before she said anything….the true gift of the Doctrine is that it should increase the amount of time people spend trying to appreciate the other’s reality

      Kristi

      you made think of a book I read in college, forget the title, .. there was this little vignette where the author is relating half-waking in the middle of the night with what he was certain was the essence of total illumination and wrote it on a pad he kept next to his bed, upon waking he read what he wrote, ‘there’s a funny smell in the room’ lol I laughed (then) when I read it… but I doubt if I would have had anywhere near the …balance and perspective to produce anything close to what I read among my friends

      …hell, as I mentioned to zoe, if it weren’t for the Doctrine, I would have a blog, and seeing how you and the others seem to constitute the un-anticipated benefits of blogging, I would have been the poorer for not indulging in this odd thing that we do
