I am a huge sap
OK, I admit it, this made me cry. Normally I'm a cynical bitch but when it comes to animals that seems to totally go out the window.
You have to love the use of music too.
Because whoever said that women don't have "the gaze" was smoking crack
About Me
- Cassandra Says
- I'm a progressive, left-wing Brit living in California. I used to be a high-tech sales guru, but got tired of that and am now thinking about going back to school to get a Masters in Journalism. My undergrad is in Psychology, but I have never used this in any constructive way. This is typical for me. I grew up mostly in the Middle East, was educated at a very fancy Scottish boarding school, moved to London at 18, and have lived in the Bay Area for the past 8 years. I am now suffering from a serious case of itchy feet, and am feeling that 8 years is quite long enough to stay in one place. Again, this is typical. If anyone really wants to figure me out they should Google "third culture" - I fit the prototype pretty closely. If any other Third Culture kids happen to stumble across this blog, write to me. There aren't very many of us.

I saw this video a while ago. It made me bawl then and still makes made me bawl again.
In college I helped raise a seeing eye puppy. When the puppies go back to the seeing eye, they never see their puppy raiser again unless they fail and have the option of going back to live with the family who raised them. We were all so afraid our puppy of over a year wouldn't remember us when he came back after being gone for over a year.
He definitely remembered :)
Hi,
I saw your comment on another blog and popped by for a look see here.
Interesting...
After reading your profile, just wanted to say you've just met another Third Culture kid.
This video had me in tears as well.
Perhaps we'll meet aagain. Take Care.
Full Tilt - Well hello there fellow Third Culture person! What's your background?
Also it's kind of embarrassing how sappy the lion video made me. Mr C too - someone at work showed it to him on their iPhone and he was trying not to get all weepy.
My Background: Born in US, left there at three months to go to small, beautiful Central American country where I remained until nineteen. Traveled alot, read alot but did not understand the Third Culture thing until a few years ago. It explains a lot and like you I always seem to have a restless spirit and itchy feet. New to blogging---not entirely happy with either one...I'm leftie in life and in politics although I come from a conservative military/government family. Animal lover, vegetarian, Jewish, disabled, feminist, librarian...
Me in a nutshell.
More about you???
Hi Cassandra,
I've been poking around some of your archives. You definitely discuss issues of importance to me, sexuality, body image, etc, that I've not yet blogged about...I also have met very few (as in two) third culture folks. I think we could have some interesting conversation. Let me know if you've the time...My blog is still under construction, but feel free to stop by.
I watched this vid and cried a bit as well.
Full Tilt - Sure, email me if you want to talk more. It's cassandrasez at gmail dot com.
I've actually met a few Third Culture folks but the problem is we all tend to move around so much...
