Just Thought I'd Share

This morning for some reason i bought a package of applesauce. I'm usually not a fan of mushy food, but i just felt in the mood for some. When my little sister was about 6 months old i was playing with her shortly after my mom had finished feeding her. I was holding her up in the air and asking who the cutest baby in the world is. While in the middle of said sentence she spit up and it land right in my mouth. For some reason my applesauce reminded me of that episode (I don’t think I'll be eating applesauce again.)

For some reason the sock in my left shoe won't stay up.

The word "lethologica" describes the state of not being able to remember the word you want. i seem to be in that state quite often.

Last Saturday i spent most of the day hanging out with a 6 year old, it's sad that that was the most intellectual conversation I've had in a while (finally, someone who gets me).

When you die your hair will still appear to grow for a couple of months.

Next year is my parent's 30th anniversary and my dad's -- th birthday. I'm trying to think of something nice to do for them (but being nice is so far out of my realm, I'm finding it quite the challenge).

Laughing lowers levels of stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day. (the 6 year old connection is beginning to make even more sense).

queer eye for the wizarding guy

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan; I even took a college course on the wizarding novels. I've been in the line ups for the books and movies and finished the majority of the books usually within a day. I have to admit that I’m not completely surprised J.K. Rowling outed Dumbledore. If you read the final book in the series Harry Potter and the deathly hallows there were a couple of passages that would indicate that Dumbledore might be waving the rainbow coloured flag come gay pride weekend. I think what bothers me about her decision to out Dumbledore is that it added nothing to the story. The fact that Dumbledore is gay adds no value to the plot or his character development. Dumbledore as with the majority of the professor at Hogwarts were always asexual. Digging into their personal lives seemed unimportant. We didn't care if McGonagall had husband and kids or had previously been employed as a stripper or if Trelawney was widowed and had 6 dead husbands or was addicted to crack and developed a heroin problem. What mattered to the reader is how those characters were able to assist Harry and the affect they had on his life. To be honest I’m a little disappointed that Rowling felt the need to share that part of Dumbledore’s life with us. I'm sure next she'll be telling us that Voldemort was really Harry’s father.

I want my bed!

I'm getting a cold. Not one of the "Hi I'm just here to make you sound stupid and go through 3 boxes of Kleenex" kind, I've got the "I'm here to play the drums in your head, make your eyes look like you've just lost your best friend and your face look like the snotty faced kid from Bad Santa". I can't remember making it from my bed to work this morning, but miraculously I'm here. My face hurts, my eyes hurt, my teeth hurt, my nose hurts, even my pinkie finger hurts (I don't think that's related but decided to throw it in anyways). I feel this way with the Sudafed working, I'd hate to imagine how I would feel if it wasn't. I should be going to class tonight, but have decided to give into my body instead and will be going home to rest (read Archie Comics).

I've Missed You

So more and more often lately I've had the urge to blog. In fact there have been many times when I'm sitting on the bus and I'll write 2 or 3 posts in my mind, but for some reason (laziness) they never make it on the computer. I've written a million posts on my trip to Cape Town and the Cottage this summer. Hundreds on my little sister growing up too fast and at least a dozen on why I hate taking the bus. I find that since certain people (*cough* my dad *cough*) were made aware of my blog, I've been censoring myself without even getting it out of my head. Writing this blog used to be my favourite time of day, I would go on right before bed and get whatever was on my mind out in the open or first thing in the morning so I could start each new day fresh. I think for my mental health it is vitally important that I make a return to the blogging world.

Relationships

I had a phone conversation with a friend of mine and I found what they had to say kind of upsetting. They told me repeatedly that I should find a new boyfriend and by the third time it stopped sounding like a joke. I've learned from experience that you should never try and tell a friend how they should handle their romantic relationships as it is usually your friendship that suffers. If you tell them to leave and they decide to stay it really makes everything awkward. If you tell them to stay or to leave and they follow your advice they normally end up blaming you for their unhappiness. I find the best approach is let them make their own decisions and to let them know that regardless of what that decision is you'll be there as their shoulder to cry on, or bridesmaid or whatever they need, they can know you'll be there for them. My boyfriend might not be the richest or the smartest; he is however, the best looking, he's there for me, he supports me and most importantly he loves me. I've seen people go through some awful relationships and if you weren't looking closely you would have thought that they had met their perfect match. My boyfriend might not look or act perfect, but he is perfect for me and that’s all that should really matter to the people in my life.

The email

I was mean to someone the other day. I was rude and disrespectful and I said words I normally don't say. I wrote it all down and went back and forth a million times trying to decide if it should be sent and finally hit the send button. I felt awful afterwards, I wished I could reach into the computer and take it all back. I considered apologizing or asking the person not to read it and then decided not to bottle it inside, left it as is, went to bed and I would deal with it in the morning. I woke up with the sunrise and thought today is too beautiful a day to waste reliving the feelings of yesterday and choose to leave the computer off and deal with it tomorrow. It finally came time to see the consequences of my actions. I logged in and saw that there had been an almost immediate reply. The response was nothing what I had expected it to be, it was simply indifference. It's sad that it bothered me so much to send that one stupid email and that the person receiving it couldn't have cared less.
