My mother WILLED me to walk.  At birth and toddler stage, doctors told her I probably would not be able to, but she made it happen.  She would prop me up and teach me to walk just like everybody else, with leg braces and contraptions and all.  Mind blowing and powerful...

I have decided to take a break for happiness.  What does this mean?  I am taking the semester off.  Parents aren't thrilled, but they knew this was probably coming anyway.  I need to be happy.  And my upcoming...rant or whatever is in regards to being happy.

What is wrong with being happy?  We (the West) have a typical situation on how life is ( Read more... )

We missed our connecting flight to Maui so we had to run then wait.  Odd sleeping patterns.  Beautiful weather.  Nice tan.  Much of the day at beach and pool.  Smiled.  Felt relaxed.  Drove at nighttime on what seemed like the edge of the earth.  Saw 304950345 times more stars than in Chicago or even the suburbs.  Dad almost drowned in ocean.  Dad ( Read more... )

Okay, so I was wondering; the whole concept of "love".  We know that it's one of the most confusing human emotions.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning its existence or its power...I guess I'm questioning how other people classify and label it.  Let's take for example, saying "I love you" to your partner, significant other, or even best friend ( Read more... )

All my life is on me now, hail the pages turning
And the future is on the bound, hell don't know my fury
You're all I need, you're all I need, you're all I need
You're all I need, You're all I need, you're all I need
Youre all I need - and maybe some faith would
Do me good
I don't know what I'm doing, don't know should I
Change my mind, I can't decide, ( Read more... )

Not gonna lie, I mostly have enjoyed not having my phone these past few days.  I left it in my dad's car and thought I would be super screwed and twice as stressed, but not really.  I like not having to deal with silly phone calls and in terms of meeting up with people, I just send a quick email instead.  Granted if I'm ever stranded somewhere, I'm ( Read more... )

My LJ is losing it's functionality.  It does very little help for me anymore.  I used to update it frequently because I thought it would be a good place to dump my thoughts, but meh.  Not so much anymore.  So don't really expect me to update anything too meaningful in the future, unless I get the sporadic urge to.

Beep boop.

What the fuck?

Aaaaahh frustrating....goddamnit, Facebook!

*Sigh*  I'm tired.  I just feel the constant need and want to sleep.  All day.  Partially to not have to deal with family/household things, but also because I get so bored that my body is like, "well since we're not doing anything productive..."  Ugh boots.  I'm shutting down slowly.  Yay fucking summer.  Work is going to make things more difficult ( Read more... )

I become temporarily apathetic when I'm at home, slowly and slowly.  Why?  Because I don't have means of connecting to my Chicago life.  I don't have a car, I can't really leave, I can't just get out and breathe my own breath for a while.....ugh.  I feel like a hermit who just sits at home and doesn't do anything.  So I apologize to those I haven't ( Read more... )
