A few words
"When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness." ~ D.H. Lawrence "Is the meaning of life defined by its duration? Or does life have a purpose so large that it doesn't have to be prolonged at any cost to preserve its meaning?" "Living is not good, but living well. The wise man, therefore, lives as well as he should, not as long as he can... He will always think of life in terms of quality not quantity... Dying early or late is of no relevance, dying well or ill is... even if it is true that while there is life there is hope, life is not to be bought at any cost." ~ Seneca "People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. Those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect." ~ Daydream Nation "All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories-- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death." ~ The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes "The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer to the elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong site of the road." ~ Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita "It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." ~ William Blake Think about it Musicalities! Kill that boredom!

Jhonen Vasquez's site Overheard in New York Passive Aggressive Notes Submarinechannel.com Superdickery UHpinions Whirled | Something of value Sunday, June 4, 2017 "My Sentimental Melody" by The Magnetic Fields. I live on the blue planet That I saw in your eyes But now I can't stay Knowing it's made Of beautiful lies --- Love can kill people, can't it? Well it still may kill me Each drop of rain Is a glass of champagne It's sweet and it's free When I drink I don't panic When I drink I don't die When I'm far gone It's all just a song Just beautiful lies --- I met up with someone yesterday. He's a pretty interesting guy, and I enjoyed talking to him. One of the few extraverts I've met... Socializing was very easy and natural for him, and he said he'd noticed that for people who weren't naturally outgoing, it was hard for them to pick it up. I asked him where he thought I fell on that spectrum, and he said I actually seemed fairly adept at socializing, but he could tell that I had to put effort into it, whereas it came effortlessly to him. We'd talked for awhile online before meeting up, and at one point he said something that really struck me. I told him I felt kind of bad for shopping and buying things I was only going to wear once or twice, and he responded with "Yeah but those few things that you've only worn once or twice probably looked G R E A T when you actually wore them haha this is actually an adorable and stereotypically 'feminine' quality for you to possess :P" I guess the reason that this struck me the way it did was because I've always felt kind of guilty for liking shopping, like I'm a bad person for being materialistic at all. My last couple boyfriends had a really negative view of shopping and I didn't feel like it was something I could ever be open about or even approach in conversation with them. Talking to Juliano about it surprised me and made me feel like there are people out there who would accept that part of me and even appreciate it. After that came up in conversation, he asked me a couple different times, unprompted, if I'd bought anything new recently or done any shopping, and I showed him and it felt nice. When we hung out, he also noticed the necklace I was wearing and said he liked it, and I told him about how I only got it because it was a really good deal (under $2), and I never even really wear jewelry usually. Compliments like the one he gave me about shopping always stay with me. I remember a long time ago, back when Xanga was still a thing (this could have been 10+ years ago now...), Gwenny wrote a post for me as a belated birthday thing. She reframed my pickiness/sensitivity as discerning taste, and said that I was picky, but that meant I picked the best food, best people, etc. I wish I could get her original wording, but Xanga has been gone for a long time. I did email her a few years ago asking if she could download her Xanga archives and send me the post, but apparently she never did. Anyway, that meant a lot to me, because my parents and other people have criticized me a lot in my life for being picky and overly sensitive. In some ways that's been a positive thing, because I've learned how to be more open to new things, but it was also really helpful for me to have some part of that validated and accepted. It's been a pretty rare occurrence to have something about me I thought was only negative valued by someone else, but I never forget it when it happens. I'd really like to be able to pass that along to other people if I can. I think it kind of goes along with what my dad said about his friend-- that she can find a sincere compliment to give to anyone. I still want to be able to do that, but I haven't been working on it recently... Need to pick that back up. I should really keep some kind of long term self-development to do list so I don't forget these things. >.> 0 Comments.
