Nostalgia

Last night Emily and I were up late. Too late. Why? Well, we were playing Neopets. Emily mentioned that she had signed on again and we launched into a discussion of what we used to do for hours in Neopia. She talked about playing the ever popular Meerca Chase and selling items in her shop. I told her about playing the stock market and collecting secret avatars. When I told her about what the secret avatars are and how I would spend a lot of time on the message boards role playing, she logged on to find out exactly what I was talking about. When she couldn't find the boards I logged on to tell her where to go. It was surprising that I remembered so many of my logins. We spent the night playing Meerca Chase, Destruct-O-Match and Dice-a-Roo. We grabbed some free omelette, spun some wheels, and fed our neopets. It was amazing how much I remembered. I told Emily how to collect at least five secret avatars from memory using words and phrases such as Kadotie, Wheel of Monoton

It's been a day

Today has just been one of those days for me. The kind where I just need someone. I don't know why, but it's been rough. I almost completely broke down twice. I don't know why, but I hurt today. That kind of deep inside hurt that aches and constantly draws away some of your soul. I feel like I handled it pretty well though. I was fairly productive, except for the large portion of the day I spent lying in bed pretending I was sleeping. Other than that I did a lot. It's hard to feel that way sometimes though. People around you don't know what you're feeling. You know, "in the quiet heart is hidden sorrow that the eye can't see?" Anyway, they don't know. All they know is that you've been more productive before so surely you can do so now. When I get crap for not doing as much as I've done before it's hard to feel accomplished and it just gets me down more. It's made me rather melancholy. I'm not sure if y'al

Discovery

I discovered somethings about myself yesterday. Don't you just love those moments of revelation? I realized that I'm going about this whole dating thing the wrong way. My past relationships have been long and there was a strong connection formed. My problem is that I am immediately looking for the same level of connection. That's not possible. I don't take into account how long it took those connections to form. You know, I think a lot of people have this same problem. We've had great relationships in which we were very comfortable and we felt a strong connection. It's natural to want that again, and when you had that connection for a long time it's hard to remember what it was like before that connection so it's hard to imagine a relationship when we don't feel that connection at the beginning. Even if there was a connection at the very beginning it wouldn't be the same connection. It would be a completely new relationship with a pers

Fun words that I wish were used more...

...except not really because then they wouldn't be as fun. So I take that back.

Snarky Drea .) adj; snide and sarcastic smarmy adj; buttery, unpleasantly and excessively suave or ingratiating in manner or speech dapper adj; neat, trim; stylishly dressed, neatly dressed; spiffy rubbish n; garbage, junk, refuse, waste; nonsense; to denounce, to criticise; exceedingly bad; awful; terrible; crap; expresses that something is exceedingly bad, terrible or awful huzzah A cheer often associated with sailors, shouted by a group in praise of a thing or event hooligan n; a person that causes trouble or violence ruffian n; a scoundrel, rascal or unprincipled, deceitful, brutal and unreliable person Hmmm... So I know they aren't exceptionally extraordinary, and the list was much shorter than I thought it w

Date a girl who reads

"Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve. Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow. She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. A

Waking up the brain cells

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” - Dr. Seuss I want to find a few gorillas. When I find them I'll pretend to be their friend and I'll learn their ways and make them trust me. When they finally trust me I'll steal their hoard of bananas! Although that could be a bad idea. I mean, I've played Donkey Kong. I've seen what primates do when their bananas are stolen... An elephant and a pigeon, a pigeophant. Car horns are boring. They should make them customizable. My car horn would be the Kool-aid hair lady screaming, "Stay on your side!" The Beatles claim that "all you need is love." I say, "Lies!" Love will not make my car run. No matter how much love I have in my life I'll still need to stop at the gas station. What happened in Mi
