For years, the Panda Bear wanted inexpensive and portable word processing. The Panda Bear does not like writing things by hand. (The Panda Bear’s bad hand writing was another source of sadness to her as a child. Everyone complained about it. Now she just does everything by typing/computer and is very good at it).
Since she started a blog(actually, she was thinking of buying one anyway), the Panda Bear bought a netbook and she loves it. She feels so important using it in libraries and coffee shops. It is very easy to take with her and it is inexpensive enough that it would not be a tragedy if it was lost of stolen.

The Panda Bear on Her Bad Memories of Playing Sports at School
However, it was not easy for the Panda Bear being so bad at sports as a child. She literally could not play volleyball, soft ball, and tennis. She has never been able to get a volley ball or tennis ball over the net. When she was little, most people would think it would be fun for the Panda Bear to play these games but for her it was torture. At about eighteen years of age, the Panda Bear no longer had to play these games but it still was somewhat hard socially for her because a lot of "fun" social events centered around these games. At about thirty years old, these games were no longer an issue.

The Panda Bear was at a training at work. She and her partner at the training were asked to pick their worst childhood memories. The Panda Bear and her coworker both had the same worst experience. It is being picked last for sports teams in elementary school. True we were both awful at team sports but we took it as our measure of social status at school and found it humilating at being picked last in front over other children.
However, we found we both liked walking and swimming and we have done well in adult life.
We have gotten over being bad at team sports and have found other things we enjoy.

The Panda Bear has discovered she has viewers in Canada, Israel, the Netherlands and India. Welcome to you all and thank you!!! The Panda Bear also thanks her US viewers.
The Panda Bear is not a well travelled person. She has lived in Boston, Massachusetts most of her life. Internationally, she has been to Canada, Ireland and England and that was many years ago.
Since the Panda Bear works full-time and gets about three weeks vacation a year, her ability to travel has been limited in adult life.
However, the Panda Bear sincerely welcomes all viewers and believes that we are all capable of traveling in our minds. The Panda Bear Blog is not about literal facts.

The Panda Bear's Guilty Pleasure-Abba on YouTube
5/1/2011"Money, Money,Money"
Another Abba video the Panda Bear likes on YoutTube is "Money, Money,Money". She has come to agree with the song that it is a rich man's world.

The Panda Bear finally has come out to admit she likes Abba. She remembers them from originally the nineteen seventies and liked them then but was too embarrassed to admit it. Recently through a friend in Facebook she has discovered Abba videos on YouTube. It wasn't until recently that the Panda Bear knew what the group looked like. She finds it is interesting the contrast between in styles between the two female lead singers Agnetha (the blond) and Anni-Frid (more commonly known as Frida who is auburn haired.). Perhaps because the Panda Bear has chestnut colored hair she has a slight preference for Frida.
While "Head over Heels" does not show Frida at her best it is funny.
