I can empathize (and no, I'm not one of those "sensitive" types) with your frustration and resulting defiance, but where is this going? I'll reserve further comment until I hear from you more, but it's interesting.

Hi Polly,
Gues its how do you break out of your persona, can you, should you? I make my living as a construction engineer building hiways and bridges, and generally rearanging the landscape. I love it! But, when I come home, I paint pretty pictures, and write pretty poems, and cook gourmet food. I really would like the latter to be taken as seriously as the former. Can it, should it?
