I had strange dreams last night. Strange not only in content, but also in the fact that I actually remember bits of them.

In one dream, things were going terribly wrong, and that’s all I remember. In the next, I had invited people to a party at what I assume was an apartment I was living at. Friends were there, family, and even teachers started ( Read more... )

i am amazed by the world. by it's smallness; by its hugeness. by the hugeness of even the smallest thing.

i'm amazed at what i get to do, and that i'm surving and even getting someplace in what i do. i'm happy that those friends whom i still talk to are doing well, and those whom i chose not to talk to but hear about are happy. it certainly ( Read more... )

politics:
as time passes, and i find my heart-candidate out of the running, i'm finding myself increasingly split on which democratic candidate i support. i really like obama, and, assuming that the south doesn't ruin things (and it looks like enough democratic voters are being active in the south, at least in this primary, that most southern states ( Read more... )

 so today i spent half the day in the wildlife sanctuary. we cleaned up the penninsula, put brazillian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolius) resprouts in check, and then moved on to greener pastures. by the swamp, the oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia) were getting uppity and talking about how it was gonna take over the plant kingdonm, so we had to ( Read more... )

how can anyone who believes in heaven believe in a vow of "till death do we part"? if you believe in an everlasting soul, shouldn't you still be married afterdeath? and if the one who doesn't die remarries, wouldn't that count as polygamy? i suppose mormosn wouldn't have a problem with it, since they don't think polygamy is morally wrong, but ( Read more... )

hey all,

Just letting you know that as of September 17th, I’ll be working on the Exotic plant management team in northern California. I’ll work 8-9 weeks at Redwood National and State Parks, 8-9 weeks at Whiskytown National Recreation Area and 4 weeks at Lassen Volcanic National Park. it should be fun, especially since I’ve never seen that part of ( Read more... )

Premise: I died years ago, but somehow retain vestiges of life (for my body never died); by extension, that could qualify me as a zombie. Zombies hunger, which is likely to be a self-medication for deep feeling of inadequacy, low self-worth, or loneliness. I have a medium self worth, but I have lived a lonely, solitary life for a long time. Even in ( Read more... )
