butterflydreaming"On the whole, I'm not entirely convinced communication ever really works at all, and I'm beginning to have my doubts about language."
Based on this post and some non-lj essays written by this person, I a bit smitten by this person's mind. He (now acertained by a closer look at his LJ) also uses the exclamatory, "Jesus Hypothetical Christ".
No content of my own. My guess is that some of you already know (of)![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tacit. I'm right again, aren't I?
Oh wait, here is some content, but it's not new. I think, as a collection, it's a pretty good overview of my 2006.
1.As for recovering happiness -- it looks better but the springs are still gone and the padding is still lumpy. Get new happiness when there's a sale on. Silly to wait for someone to give it to you.
2.I'm curled up in my alabaster shell for some other reason, or maybe no reason at all. Every word feels dangerous, and all the world is salt.
3.(artyartie, re: unrequited love)"I always thought of it as dancing barefoot on glass myself."
4. Message-wise, I also like it. "You were not a mistake," it says.
5. Emo is the natural decendant of Goth!
6. "Strength of character" is a phrase so often used that the meaning has worn out of it like the snap worn out of over-chewed bubblegum. Character strength is a brilliance made out of the reflected shine from multiple facets. For a strength not to be overpowering, the way unchecked pride becomes obnoxious arrogance instead of admirable self-confidence, the strength needs to be tempered with subtlety. If there is one thing I admire more than the raw ore of strength, it is the gemstone of subtlety.
7. Talking about the weather all shift was not interesting, so we had to be creative. It was kind of like a linear cocktail party.
8. No one likes to be ridiculed, even by idiots.
9. The right icon for this post would say, "This space intentionally left blank", but I didn't have one.
10. One of these days I'll learn how to skip rocks.
11. (requoted) "I worked on a book on how to live to 100 by asking people who had. The vast majority maintained a positive outlook on life, referenced religion (or a higher power) and expressed few regrets. One comment that struck me was a gentleman who said make life a window and enjoy the view as opposed to a mirror that merely reflects your own image."
12. I forget to think of myself as a woman, because in my head, I'm always a girl.
13. I can feel myself rushing along over life like the gray water of a flooded stream, a churning tumult that hides everything beneath it. I have forgotten to be aware of the moment. How does this happen?
When a branch falls across the current, when it holds back the flow, it creates a little bit of clarity. I'm sure that I need it. What is in my head, heart, and soul that I haven't been able to see?
14. I wished I could invite him in to hang out for a bit, but where I live is unfit for guests, and there is a lot I would have to change before things could be different.
15. These are my feelings. The are nothing fancy; they are completely ordinary and commonplace, but they are only mine.
