But always there’s an inner tension; a kind of bewilderment. Where am I going? What am I doing?
~
Part of you arrives from gut instinct, the other part is acculturated.

The male, older fans of my little pony: friendship is magic.
"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the object it loves". ~ Carl Jung
I want to learn a second language. It is one of my near future goals. I need more of those.
Remember: friends don't let friends pop their collar.
A language dies every two weeks. Of the seven thousand languages spoken in the world today, linguists claim half are in danger of extinction and likely to disappear in this century. Sad but true.
The original Monopoly Game, was called “Landlord’s Game” and was intended as a critique of capitalism.
I am so happy I have been exposed to Girl Talk. Ecstatic. Who knew it was possible to sample both Neutral Milk Hotel and that song that goes, "I need a dime that's top of the line. Cute face, little waist and a big behind" within seconds of each other and make it sound f’ing awesome? Greg Gillis did. Or, who would dare to couple someone rapping about "Getting Some Head" with Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U?" I think you know the answer. I can now die peacefully knowing that absurd rap songs were created for a greater purpose.
"...and the sweetest softest hands, and we'll blow away forever soon, and go off to different lands. And please do not ever look for me, but with me you will stay, and you will hear yourself in song, blowing by one day. But now hold me like a baby, that will not fall asleep, Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat" -Gypsy (Suzanne Vega)

To understand is to be patient.
~
To read, to listen to music. To write. Obscurity, instead of being a hindrance, intrigues me. Challenges me.

I think I need something with fewer layers of meaning, like Real Housewives or Sixteen and Pregnant.
I am ashamed to admit that on two or three occasions I watched “Sarah Palin’s Alaska”, which is definitely not the Alaska I grew up in. Or it is, but it isn’t.

All time favorite cereals: Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Puffs, Honey Nut Cheerios.
“You have a right to experiment with your life. You will make mistakes. And they are right too. No, I think there was too rigid a pattern. You came out of an education and are supposed to know your vocation. Your vocation is fixed, and maybe ten years later you find you are not a teacher anymore or you're not a painter anymore. It may happen. It has happened. I mean Gauguin decided at a certain point he wasn't a banker anymore; he was a painter. And so he walked away from banking. I think we have a right to change course. But society is the one that keeps demanding that we fit in and not disturb things. They would like you to fit in right away so that things work now."

I love Zia.

I have walked into a glass door before. I am the type of girl to say sorry after walking into a chair. It takes talent to trip up stairs, I am talented. When I run with scissors, I feel dangerous.
~
Things I am not proud of: throwing scissors at my sister and hitting her in the face, peeing in the hallway of the Days Inn, using sparknotes.com to complete all my high school English homework, using my sister’s papers to help get me through college, lying to myself, taking the rain for granted, attempting to watch the “dirty” channels even through the fuzz.

"Somewhere, far down, there was an itch in his heart, but he made it a point not to scratch it. He was afraid of what might come leaking out."

I have a lot of internal dialogue. Typically over lots of unimportant things. One recurring topic is how much I love and hate the internet.
~
Im going to be 27 in less than five months. I need to get some shit done in this decade. Winning the lottery, for example, is at the top of my list.
~
And I need to change the way I eat. I must. Despite my unapologetic love for these substances of questionable nutritional value, I fear that someday in the foreseeable future this will all catch up with me and I will not only be large and in charge, but plagued by various health issues. I'm no dummy. I am always aware that when I am eating potato chips and donuts, I am not really receiving any nutritional benefits, but I just can’t help myself. Just like Amy Winehouse can't really help it that she is addicted to crack. But I am going to make a conscious effort. I don’t want to look back at pictures ten years from now and wonder “How did I end up like this?”

‘”What is love? Great minds have been grappling with this question through the ages, and in the modern era, they have come up with many different answers. According to Western Philosopher Pat Benatar, love is a battlefield. Her paisan Frank Sinatra would add that love is a tender trap. The stoner kids who spent the summer of 1978 looking cool on the hoods of their Trans Ams in the Pierce Elementary School parking lot used to scare us little kids by blasting “Love is Like Oxygen”—you get too much, you get too high, not enough and you’re gonna die. Love hurts. Love stinks. Love bites, love bleeds, love is the drug. The troubadours of our times all agree: They want to know what love is, and they want you to show them….But the answer is simple. Love is a mix tape.” –Rob Sheffield

I hope it rains all night.
