What do you do to be involved in the community?

I do not do nearly enough to be involved in the community. I am a pretty solitary person, not the sort for team sports and the like. I don’t belong to the community chorus like my husband; I do not belong to a church; I do not do volunteer work. For the most part.

I am involved in moulage (casualty simulation) with Missouri Hope, which is local and through the university. Moulage is the use of makeup and prosthetics to simulate injuries and illness. I also do moulage for the county docudrama, which is a drinking and driving scenario performed for the area students. This speaks to my expertise and my interests.

I would like to be more civic-minded, but I like being alone more. I like writing more. I am not called to community service. Maybe it’s just where I am in life right now.
