WHY??

And why isn't my picture there?

dressing rooms

IN the past two days I've had two rather odd dressing room experiences.

Last night: I'm in the dressing room at Walmart (forgive me!), trying on a clearance priced skirt, when I hear strange noises from the room two rooms over. It honestly sounded (in my un-educated mind), like two white-trash lesbians gettin' it on! Weird.

This afternoon: JC Penney (which currently has amazing clearance prices), I stride into the dressing room like I usually do, and make myself comfortable in a room, and proceed to try on the two shirts I had. I start hearing sighing, like someone is waking up from a nap, or breathing meditatively, or willing the item of clothing to fit. Then the woman started to talk to herself, vocalizing the list of chosen items she was to purchase.

The oddest of all this is that in both cases I was clacking hangers around and making normal dressing room noises, and yet neither of these un-faced people seemed to notice, or care, staying in their strange little dressing room worlds.

This is interesting too. Left or Right Brain

Happy weekend all!

Red Rose=Passion

"The world demands the qualities of youth; not a time of life but a state of mind , a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. It is a revolutionary world we live in, and thus it is young people who must take the lead."
- Robert Kennedy

"There is no middle ground: ecstasy or apathy."


I think the saddest way to live a life is without any excitement or simple pleasure. I hope that I can make "good days" the average, not the exception to my life.

"Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed."

snow flakes

It snowed!

I stayed home all day (due to it being Martin Luther King's birthday and escaping from school and work), sitting in the papasan, reading, computering, and watching the varying sized snow flakes play in the air before settling down the frozen ground. It was so very pretty!

I wish it would snow more often.

11:29

16 minutes until I rush away from work, and head to my usual seat next to Samantha in math class.

Sometimes I get a feeling of distance from the people I wish to interact with more. It's not an intentional distancing, I'm positive of that. But it's distance bred from the differences in maturing, growth, experiences, interests, lack of time, circles of society, life style, and environment. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I was in those places too. Would we be closer?

It doesn't matter much. I've chosen my life. And I love my life. The element of people isn't controllable. Ha, life itself isn't controllable! :-)

Still, it's sad sometimes, when there's not much you cna do except be occaisional good friends!

9 Days Later

I'm a little dazed. How did I not post something about how the past year has been, the changes, how I'm inspired by a new year, and what I'm going to do, etc?

Well.

Thinking on it, I believe that because this has been such an immense and intense year, my sub-conscious let me pass blissfully from 2008 into 2009, without taking time to recollect and remember. That is a blessing, since it's easier to remember the pain and hurts as opposed to the joys and triumphs.

So, anyway. Here's to 2009! It has not begun un-noticed by me.
