Bradford Pears, Daffodils, Dogwood, and Daisies bloom.

The stagnant air of winter begins to stir, becomes alive.

This is Spring. I love the wind that rises moments just before a storm breaks open. The wind rushes through the trees and the young, tender, green leaves are tossed about with violence. Flowing across the shifting sky, heat lightning provides a brilliant gloss to the cresendo, and...

Great News, Everyone!
It looks like I will be going to Temple University in Philadelphia!
I am one of 8 from 220!
I have still to hear back from Pratt in Brooklyn, but now that it is over, I am relieved.
llona:
Congratulations! I hear Philly is great.
Hope you're doing well,

I've been reading a book on Zen, its principles and history, etc. Interesting stuff. Some aspects of it can be applied, I believe, to the life of a non-practitioner, to enhance concentration and reduce stress. Still, this is not Zen, this is only knowing about Zen, and not knowing Zen.

I do not want to be satisfied into submission, tamed, find inner peace, not just...

I have been laying low lately.

It is hard knowing that the next few weeks will determine my path for the next two years.

marieceleste:
Oh, I hope the path is a nice one with lots of rosebushes along the way.

I am waiting on pins and needles.
Would I it were a bed of nails.
Of that I am curious.

marieceleste:
Oh yay, I hope you went to the SGATL event, maybe it will brighten up the quiet days. I'm assuming the days are still quiet and a shade of dull, although perhaps there has been new news of which I am unaware.

Everything is ok with me, better than it was. I really am a bit blah at the moment, I'm waiting for this feeling to pass. Yes, pins and needles would be welcome.

For the past many years time has slipped away from me.

The horse beneath me slows; I rode this thing too hard.

Now I wait for the next revolution of the sphere to complete.

I will grasp for the brass ring, and I will take another spin.

I will not be left behind; I want to ride again.


I like words and ideas. Merry-Go-Round as...

The sun is out after seven days of overcast and rain! I unselfishly helped a friend without his knowing it as well.

It may not exactly be half full today, but I can say with all optimistic confidence that it is at least 1/3 full, which is enough for today.


Anyone familiar with the Fishbone song "Sunless Saturday?"
A most rock'n upbeat song.

I see...

Today I fought against the world.

Life should be easier. Only now, seeing so many people passing me by, do I realize I shouldn't been so eager to start this game; I should've paid more attention to the rules.

Today the world won.



I am tired of being angry.

I know what you mean. (So very tired.) frown

Recovering from too much fun last night.

This shit cracks me up: "and then, out of nowhere."

If a good part of humor is but tragedy plus time, I say why wait for the passage of time to laugh. This is an increasingly humorless world, with an increasing amount of tragedy piling up. We need to tap new sources of entertainment! Get a little...

Hey there sweety.

I am stuck at the airport after having missed my suspiciously cheap and ridiculously early flight. I'm now getting on another flight in 2 hours to Altenburg, and I'll have to get the train from there to Berlin. whatever

Re lovesickness, I think I may have tracked down the source of this illness myself. For me it is like a tearing in two directions at once, a terrible desire to contradict my instincts. After a couple of unpleasant romantic disasters last year my instinct is to stay single, not give in to this bloody dangerous tepmtation to partake in coupling. Also, as Chet Baker says... I fall in love to easily, I fall in love too fast. It's only a week and a half I've known this man, there's no reason for me to believe we have a special connection that will last. I can't know anything about the longevity of our coupling and that drives me near crazy.

So yesterday my heart finally got together with my brain, and they have agreed to stay safe, to be optimistic, but definitely excercise caution.

I like this man, but I don't know if I can trust him yet. In the meantime I MUST trust myself!

From Out of Nowhere / Faith No More

Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty and pull me down
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
Obsession rules me-Im yours from the start
I know you see me-our eyes interlock
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Dont know if Ill laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...
Sifting to the bottom, every day for two
All energy funnels, all becomes you
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Dont know if Ill laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And it hurts inside
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...

Today I got a letter from Yale University denying me admission for Fall. Oh well. One down, nine schools left to go. My new job selling art supplies at Hobby Lobby is tiresome. Everyone asks if I am from Ireland. I'm not!

I was born in Cincinnati, but grew up in Atlanta, going to speech therapy in both cities (I was a late talker and...

Because of the huge number of comments on my latest set... You are receiving this comment late and it is the same comment that I am leaving everyone else as well. I usually try to thank everyone individually and much more personal like, but I would just never in a million years have the time to do that this time. So, I just want you to know that I appreciate that you took the time to comment on my new set. It was very wonderful of you, and I'm sorry that my return comment is so impersonal. However, if you want to stop by my page and say hello sometime, leave me an email, whatnot I'd love to chat. I am nice to everyone that is nice to me.

So, thank you very very much for your nice comment on my set! It is appreciated.


Happy late Valentines Day! kiss biggrin

Hello sweet sailordunk.

Rectum Love! Ain't nothin' wrong with that!

I absolutely know what you mean about the accent thing. People are always shocked when I tell them I'm Australian, always with the "No! You're not!" Yeah, whatever, I'm lying. I'm verybored of that conversation and I have started letting people know I'm not up for it. Shut up, yes I am Australian, yes I know my accent is faint, no I didn't try to lose it, no I'm not American or Canadian, and yes I bloody am sure I'm Australian! First 23 years of my life spent there! Can you hear the exasperation? So, my advice is, next time someone asks if you're Irish, just tear their head off, perhaps it will discourage any others from the same misconception.

Bugger about Yale, but you know that the right school will be the school you end up at. I just hope you find out soon, it sounds like you are more than ready to exit stage left!

Humans are strange. They are most curious in nature, more so than even they realize. Communication between humans is often characterized by the use of what they call a "question," which they employ whenever they want to inquire about something and feed their curiosity. This questioning, this curiosity, is their ultimate expression of their self awareness and sensitvity to their environment. In an experiment I...

Oh yeah, I think you may enjoy reading about Arthur Stace, the lovely man in the pic I posted above. I just love what he did, writing in chalk, so imminently impermanent, where ever he though people would read... Eternity. I think that's beautiful.
marieceleste:
You can't sound like any more of a crack pot than yours truly.
