I slept for about eight hours last night and I woke at five or six.  It was pretty glorious to be able to sleep for that long of a time, but why did it have to be Thursday night, the night before Friday on which I have one class that begins at one pm?  I guess so I could wake up early and chipper and get a head start at an awesome Friday!  Yea...

Somehow, this summer has been a little more adventurous than others.  I can't pinpoint the real reason for it seeming like this, though I think it has something to do with getting older and gaining more experience, understanding, and feelings about mortality.  I resent this, though.  I'd never had any aversion to heights in my life, but when I ( Read more... )

I've a few minutes before a dinner outing, and something is making my fingers tingle to post something.   But I'm not sure what or why.  I did hear a song I liked recently.  I think it's so interesting, the way that music can be so influential or meaningful.  It's both good and bad, and I have both good and bad reactions.  Depending on the actual ( Read more... )

Today my invisible neighbors became a lot more visible.  This just means that I really can't walk around the house in my underwear, much less in anything, well, less.  It's kind of weird living in this house.  It's got a very shallow but very wide yard, which leaves us lurched in the rear by three different back yards and flanked on either side by ( Read more... )

If you could rename yourself in real life, what would you choose, and why?

Vicci Vayle.   Couple of reasons:

1.  Familial ties.
2.  Vicki Vail was Batman's girlfriend at one point.
3.  Alliteration is sexy.
4.  V is a sexy letter.
5.  Batman is also sexy.

The most entertainment I've gotten out of MySpace in the past, has been trumped by what was waiting for me today:

" Jesus wants to be your friend! "     Sweet.

Oh, Jesus.  I want to be your friend, too.  I didn't know you had a MySpace!  You're also in my "extended network".  Awesome...

• 
  Sleep hasn't been my friend lately.  She doesn't seem to want to spend time with me, and when I finally track her down, she doesn't stay for long.
• 
  I want a cookie.
• 
  Dinner at Chef Mavro's was fabulous tonight.
• 
  I love wine.
• 
  I went on a hike yesterday.

Four seasons separated by more than just a few degrees Fahrenheit is surely something everyone should experience.  In the past I'd read about frigid winter nights huddled by a fire, and hot summer days supplemented with frosty desserts, but to experience them and really live in that atmosphere speaks to my soul.  Hawai'i is a place I would not like ( Read more... )

Tonight I am going to sleep with delightful urgency.  Plane rides seem to develop a pressing need for rest, regardless of whether or not sleep was procured while in-flight.  More than that, though, something happened between here and there.  You know, in that place where things usually happen.  It's something good as well as being something that ( Read more... )
