Once upon a Wednesday

In Mongolia there's a famous fossil of two dinosaurs locked in mortal combat. Forever frozen in time, a Velociraptor is clawing a Protoceratops, which in turn is biting its enemy's arm. They've been holding that pose now for, oh, 80 million years or so. I'm shoving this image in your face, Sagittarius, so as to dare you and encourage you to withdraw from your old feuds and disputes. It's a perfect time, astrologically speaking, to give up any struggle that's not going to matter 80 million years from now.


Today Im feeling some Pepper Rabbit- Red Velvet Stereo.


 Nineteen days until...drum roll please....my 27th birthday. I definitely don’t feel any older, and sometimes I feel just as lost as I did at 23.  



We all need people in our lives who recognize the little things about us.


I know my moods well enough to know that when I don't get enough sleep or I am hazy from wine, the voice in my head cannot be trusted. Tomorrow, I know I will be fine. Tomorrow, I will remember that I am happy with my choices. But today, today everything was a bit undone. It was a day that I just had to get through. And it was a busy day, so it went by fast.


 "No, it’s not fair, but what makes earth feel like Hell is our expectation that it should feel like Heaven. Earth is earth. Dead is dead. You’ll find out for yourself soon enough. It won’t help the situation for you to get all upset."

I hate being sad. I do not like it. Not on a train. Not on a plane. Not in my house. Not with a mouse.
"
Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. And intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way."              
- Janet Fitch (White Oleander)

Oh, what’s that facebook? I have a 10 year highschool reunion scheduled in the near future? No. Thank. You.
I’m pretty over my social networking phase. Social networking is such a strange mix of the intimate and the untouchable. I understand it because my blog is a prime example. I feel like I can divulge the not-so-nice parts of my personality but I’m not standing up at a party doing it. In fact, if you saw me at a party, I’d probably be tipsy... in a corner... mumbling to myself. How's that for a pretty profile pic?

I think the neighbors are having a fiesta.


Tomorrows Thursday/ Friday....Which I beleive is a pretty good reason to celebrate.
