i need to clean out my quotes folders... "Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh." - W. H. Auden (i couldn't agree more - i've longed held that i get swept off my feet by easy, belly-laughs) "She was a woman who, between courses, could be graceful with her elbows on the table." - Henry James (I love graceful being used to describe a woman...) "If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done."  - Ludwig Wittgenstein "It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help."  - Judith Marth (okay, a hard one for me...i over-communicate, what can i say?) "Don't fall before you're pushed."  - English Proverb (applies to lots of not giving up just 'cause it seems like you might have to 'run' a bit). "I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear."  - Joan Didion (so I'm not alone!  I go through phases a bit, but mostly it's whether I'm writing/talking to myself or others...rarely do I just internalize for months or weeks.)

Today was a very emotionally up/down for me.  Started off way up from having a fun evening out....I love the feeling of smiling after I close my eyes to go to sleep and smiling again before I open them the next morning.  Later found out about the suicide of a young guy that I "know".  Death is so odd and foreign to my mind.  I actually have a difficult time trying to force my mind to think about it.  And suicide is a step beyond normal death.  I generally consider myself overly empathetic, but I have a really hard time grasping the complete loss of hope.  Of settling into defeat and giving up.   Comments9:30:01 PM

I'm getting quite a few daily laughs from Dave Barry's Blog.  Keep up the good work! Comments9:15:57 PM

The hug fairies descended into my too-white, too-stale, too-long-existing office with a mighty force.  Only about three inches tall each, they were true beauties.  Little ringlets of hair flew about their tiny, perfect little faces.  Fingers as small as dots grabbed hold and squeeeeeezed with a mighty force.  And all over, all at once, my body felt loved from the gods.

I have a good excuse for not posting...I've been trying to faithfully use Mozilla and Radio won't open in Mozilla to post...darn it!  So, here I am in IE.  We'll see what I find through the afternoon. Comments1:25:25 PM
