feeling better this morning, in large part to the sweetness of friends 
oh well... as i said, always the future.. and i'll keep being naked for fun cuz that's my nature lol..
going to our friends 1yrs old birthday bbq today at six... then drunken silliness after the kiddo is put to bed. she's an adorable kid, one of those babies that are fun to hold and play with... i can almost forgive her the fact that she always turns towards me when she pukes...
i'm re-reading "number of the beast" by heinlein. it's been a while, & i just read most of Burroughs "Mars books", so i'm enjoying it again. it's definitely a book that gets better after a reading or two. i love how Heinlein's stuff gets technical at times, rather than just running into bizarre fantasy... i'm not huge on average science-fiction because they tend to be more of fantasy w/a robot or such, not really sci-theory/math based. besides, i've fallen in love w/Heinlein's characters... husband introduced me to his work because he was a big fan (he likes sci-fi in general), and i got hooked.
what with the wonderful writing & my not-too-balanced-already self, i feel very much like the Longs are alive out there somewhere... that so many of these characters of friends of mine, people, that i've just never gotten to meet... but may hopefully someday.
my father gave me my first introduction to multi-dimensional & multiverse theory & such when i was about 7 or 8yrs old... i shouldn't say introduced, perhaps confirmed would be better... it's one of those things we all know as kids, but time/teachings tend to tell us it isn't possible -until we get a lot older & they tell us or we find out again that it may be real... but i consider myself lucky that while i was still young enough to believe what i felt and saw that my father confirmed it & i didn't have to go through the back and forth adjustment of popular opinion.
did make for some scary times though... given some of the stuff that i've dealt w/in my life + the fact that i'm a little wacked, believing in these things only added to the fear at times.
which leads me to wonder something... why is it that people that people who believe so hard (like aggressive atheists) in these scientific theory are so fast to say firmly that ghosts/spirits don't exist? seems to me, that it would be more likely that -from a purely scientific standpoint- so far such unexplained phenomena could be attributed exactly *to* these theories.. not a "ghost" or "poltergeist" but rather the intermittent interaction (purposeful or not) of two or more universes or some such..?
of course, i'm sure this is being considered by some scientists, true ones, out there. i need to remember that science & atheism can be just as much obsessive religions as any that admit a god(s).
god this got long & dull.
anyhoo, point is: i like Heinlein writing.

I used to think of me as an agnostic, too. But in the meantime, I turned atheistic. It's not that I wouldnt like "paranormal beings" to spook around. I think that could be quite interesting. I just don't like the idea of maybe there is a god. If he really was omnipotent I would have to hate him for not helping the poor and miserable.
Quite interesting stuff to talk about.
