I have the reflexes of a two-toed sloth (as opposed to a three-toed sloth? *shrug*) and the grace of a rabid ferret, so I am very used to bloody knees and purple ankles. Such is life.

even if it seems like a very long time ago, i think i did get to experience what it feels like. it's like when you're very small and christmas presents are still such a big deal to you...you feel a rush everytime you think about the things you've asked for that you just know you'll get; even so the suspense is exhilerating.
when you first meet someone that you just click with you get that feeling. you want to wait by the phone for them, check your emails. you're afraid to show too much of yourself but want to learn all about them. it's like electricity when you finally see them again, like you've been kept apart for decades and now you're meeting again in the airport and it's the most amazing reunion. even though you just saw them yesterday.
you forget for a little while to analyze everything so deeply, like whether you want them, or just want to be wanted. and you get a buzz out of the fact that you're starting to know that they do want you.
Don't EVEN get me started on cell phone-wielding dickheads that somehow managed to claw their way into the same movie theatre I happened to choose and sat next to me even though there were rows of empty seats. One woman LITERALLY was flipping through her phone's address book and calling and/or texting each and every individual on it two seats away from me. Sometimes I come so close to grabbing the phone and crushing it underfoot. What jury would convict me?!
Sorry. Whoo, I feel better. Ok, then.

Oh wow, this is tough.. I think maybe Sandra Bullock,

I don't really know what I'd be into, but I admire these women and think they're all gorgeous, talented, intelligent ladies.
**Edit** I just thought of 2 more since I am apparently such a closet lesbian.
Tina Fey (duh! how could I forget her?)
and Rosario Dawson

I've definitely found a few white hairs in the past two days, and that's a little disturbing. I'm 24. I just hope it doesn't go the way of Anderson Cooper before I'm 30. It's a nice look for him, but it looks a little more out of place on a young woman. I kind of hate the thought of dying my hair just to hide that it's gone prematurely white. At least it's blonde with very light highlights, so I'm the only one to notice so far. I've always been told my hair color is really unusual and pretty, and [while I am NOT generally vain] I would hate to make it some fake bottle-blonde color. Maybe if it did go all white I would just leave it. I could style it like Chi from Chobits, haha. I don't really want to find out until I'm at least 45. ;D
I just watched "Nights in Rodanthe" a little bit ago. Bluh. It's like Nicholas Sparks wrote it while impersonating Nicholas Sparks. So many cliches. I KNEW the guy had to die in the end. Just a matter of how. Such an over-indulgent mopey sobby chick flick. It IS slightly better than any of the ones lately that have to do with weddings. Wedding-related chick flicks are the most demeaning, belittling movies to women-- they completely underestimate what a woman wants in a film and become a veritable check-list of tried and true cliches. Such garbage! I think the all-time worst I've ever seen has to be "The Wedding Date." And I know women who liked it! Even loved it! That is a real shame. Even when it comes to stories involving romance, a little realism and substance here and there doesn't hurt--it enhances the story. And the humor doesn't need to be goody-goody soccer mom or church picnic brand humor, either. Do film execs hoping to market to a primarily female audience think we are really so limited? Not all of us read those trashy harlequins with Fabio on the cover. I dare say many of us wouldn't be caught dead with one.

Ah, another great thing about being a religion-less heathen---I don't have to worry about giving up indulgences for 40 days in the name of Jesus. I'm sure he was a swell guy, though. I don't see the point in giving up things like chocolate (since I don't eat it super often, anyway, why not treat myself when I can?) or sex (if it's not to the point where it's keeping you from having a normal and productive life, what's wrong with it?). I don't understand withholding things you enjoy in the name of some dead guy. Sorry. Maybe somebody can patronizingly explain it to the sinful pagan.

People always name a list of cliches when they think they know what their past lives were. "I was a priestess in Ancient Greece!" "I was a runaway slave when Jackson was president!" Whatever. Not impressed.
If you believe in a soul, the essence of someone distinct from their body that survives and must go somewhere after the body's death, reincarnation is as good an explanation as any. I do not believe in a God/ Supreme Being, and reincarnation (while a bit of a stretch) seems more probable to me.
While it's difficult to try to frame the hereafter in scientific terms, I am of an analytical mind. I figure that the human soul would be composed of some sort of energy. The energy that makes us alive. And those of us who were'nt home-schooled all know that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It must go somewhere. It must be transferred. So what happens to the "alive-ness" of us when we die? Is that what ghosts are? Do we leave behind haunted footprints of ourselves, or move to another plane or dimension of existence? Or does our energy move into another husk, another body? We can only guess.
Sometimes I feel like an old soul. Like I've had lifetimes of experiences both wonderful and horrific. Not those of queens or saints or celebrities, but just other perspectives from other times. Maybe it's why I feel so close to animals. Maybe I've been a few. But I think we fool ourselves easily and want to create cloudy memories from a different life. Call it a coping strategy or a mechanism to help us identify with others. It's like how we fool ourselves into believing we can remember our own births. We can't, but we think we can imagine what it was like just enough that we start to believe the fantasy.

between weekends i live
pass the hours pass the days,
in suspended animation
time is blurred, lines are fuzzy
and i travel through it in sublime ignorance
of how long it has been so
sometimes i wake up for a razor-edged moment
and panic at the thought that time could run out
and wonder what comes next
when will someone come get me and shake me awake
because i don't think i can do it alone

Been reading lots of comics, lately. Every once in a while they're good medicine to have around, like chocolate. And then they get addictive and you read them instead of anything else! Psh, who cares; I'm not in high school lit class.
I've started trying to get into Manga...about 10 years after everybody else, I know. I kind of had some disdain for them in high school, dunno why really. My parents never "got" anime, so they never really exposed us to it. I grew up pretty sheltered from the pop culture of Japan. Soooo, since I visit the library at least a couple times a week anyway, I've added lots of Manga to the regular curriculum. :o) I've mainly been going through the more obvious stuff like Fruits Basket, Bleach, Death Note, and Chobits, but what I really have gotten into is Mushishi--the art is so delicate and pretty! I'm sure I will find more titles that aren't so "beginner's level" once I dip my feet in a bit more. Unfortunately what the library has is mostly the teeny-bopper stuff. : 3
Seriously, my sister and I would have to sneak to the TV to watch "Sailor Moon" in the afternoons after school when we were in middle school! [Yeah, I know-- Sailor Moon is not a sparkling example of what Japanese animation can be. So to see how sheltered I was, just think--I was missing out on all those awesome Miyazaki films I didn't even really know existed until sometime in high school. ] Anime and manga were in no way forbidden, but our folks didn't *get* it and were more likely to poke fun at it than anything else. I don't know why we cared about that so much, but it's really no fun being berated about the stuff you like. Now I really just don't give a shit--HAH!
