Life Imitates Life

After seeing a little red fox last night, I realized that it had no fear of us, and for the first time in ages, I felt like all the bad things that are constantly happening may eventually even themselves out.

Balls Of Goo!

Chandra doesn't like sticky balls in her hair but she does love to throw them against various materials to watch them slowly ooze off!

I Lost My Head Again

Around nine o'clock tonight, I realized that it was Thursday and not only have I not done this week's homework but I've been neglecting my blog.

The Clock Never Stops, Never Stops, Never Waits

The past feels closer than the present and it is getting more and more noticeable every day.

Can Humans Do What Prophets Say?

I feel that I was born to live a life of great purpose, but the thought, "Is this all there is? Is this truly what I was set forth to accomplish?" only strikes me when I am doing nothing at all to work towards that end result due to lack of motivation or lack of time.

It's The Rarity That Makes Them So Precious

Kind words, freely given and with no underlying intention, are often the most piercing and far reaching of them all.

Why Do They Hate Our Mother Earth?

At work, I always ask people if they need a bag today because I feel that it is important to conserve petroleum products whenever possible and it frustrates me to no end when healthy people demand a bag for a single item (doubly so when that sing item is a magazine that is already in a bag!).

But We Cannot Cling To The Old Dreams Anymore

I'm tired of feeling so damn alone in my own home.

I Dig It When You Have A Smile On Your Face

It is truly the small things in life that reaffirm that all is not for naught.

These Things Happen

Dan thinks I'm crazy.

Nothing Really Matters

Little actions cease to matter almost immediately while the more 'impressive' events simply require one to zoom further out from the time line for the ramifications to cease to exist.

It Just Wasn't Like The Old Days Anymore

I'm so afraid of losing everything that which I love that, at times, it leaves me unable to properly function until the thought passes, which makes me feel positively helpless.

Echoes

I often dream of places I've never seen and people I've never met so I frequently wonder why they are calling and how best to answer them.

It's A Sin To Be Fading Endlessly

But what I am to do with this new information?

But It Never Made Sense To Them Anyway

On the way home from work tonight, the Cat Power song "I Don't Blame You" from the album "You Are Free" came on my ipod and it was suddenly as if one part of my consciousness was speaking to another part, "You are free. I don't blame you for not knowing. No one seems to anymore."

They Made My Back Hurt.

I had my first "damn teenagers" moment tonight and I've never felt more old.

Farewell, Dear Friend

Words cannot properly describe the spectrum of emotions I felt tonight when I was oh-so-offhandedly informed that a dog that I've grown up with died several weeks ago and no one had the decency to tell me.

But It's Calm Under The Waves, In The Blue Of My Oblivion

The idea of being the reincarnation of a lost princess of a underground kingdom who must go through various trials and tasks strikes a chord deep within me asking, "Where is my labyrinth?".

Pastimes: Something With Which To Pass The Time

Now for something directly to the point: I hadn't realized how much I missed playing D&D until very recently.

For The Love Of Anything Vaguely Holy, Vagina!

Vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina.

Watching and Interpreting

The way his father and step-mother interact, as compared to the way my parents interact is incredibly eye-opening and, in some ways, it makes me very sad.

Apple Blossoms and Snowflakes

This odd cusp of seasons leaves me wanting spring to be here now and yet, I find myself still (simultaneously) holding on to the last hopes of snow.

Mmm...dorkiness!

I'd love to have dinner with Benjamin Folds and Alfred Yankovic and you cannot convince me otherwise.

Good Morning Sunshine!

The absolute best way to wake up is by someone yelling at you about something you thought to be insignificant and because of the way they are ranting on about it makes it impossible for you to convey to them that you understand where they are coming from.

Springing Eternal

I'm still trying to figure out just how you can look at me the same way, after all of this time.

There's This Girl I Can't Get Out Of My Head

I miss my best friend.

Sugar Loaf

My skin smells the way that a child's does after s/he comes inside from playing on a spring day.

I'm Sorry or Tick Tock

Sometimes I worry that he's right about me and I just don't know it yet.

Happiness Is Not A Fish You Can Catch

I've come to the realization that happiness is something that occurs, overwhelmingly, in tiny moments and should be held onto with all of one's might because that is the best, nay, only way to make it through the intermediate times.

Why Is that?

Sometimes the words of others can more accurately describe one's feelings than one's own words.

Manifestations

When you hear a knocking in the bathroom, it's best not to call out to it unless you are prepared for the reply.
