when i read that quote i couldn't help but to think of my best friend Judy. having her is having everything.
i actually went store to store looking for the Olympus c-740. i found it at circuit city, played with it a little and i liked it. i'll probably get it during the week. i don't want to rush it and regret it. thanks for everything.chau!!
"A feeling for which I have no name, has taken possession of my soul -- a sensation which will admit of no analysis, to which the lessons of by-gone times are inadequate, and for which I fear futurity itself will offer me no key. To a mind constituted like my own, the latter consideration is an evil. I shall never -- I know that I... Read More
It rained where I am, too. I was wishing I could send the rain to put out some of the forest fires in British Columbia, but no... it rained on me instead.
So... why "Abby" instead of "Anna" (if it's not too personal a question)?
"Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears. Melancholy is thus the most legitimate of all the poetical tones."
I'm not trying to say that there are no cool rats in this world... I just wish the un-cool ones wouldn't eat my camping gear (especially when I'm camping in it!). But if Splinter shows up and explains the whole thing, I'm open to being convinced that it's all good, somehow...
I just looked at all of your pics, they are all amazing but a few of them will paint my dreams tonight as I sleep. That was corny! anyway I'm jealous. Oh bye the way is the "all we are is love..." quote in your profile yours?

The Buddhists (and Hindu's, I believe, although I know less about them) might say that the solution (supposing one desired unity) was given in your quote: give up self-interest, hopes, and aspirations. Only in detachment from (selfish) desire can we achieve unity.
On another note... what the heck is the correct protocol for responding to somebody's comment in your journal? Do you put it after the comment, in your journal (where they might never see it), or in theirs (where it is completely out of context)?
Well, here it is out of context: Anna, I'm glad the email didn't require an apology. Having something of a history of social bumbling, I worry perhaps more than I should about offending people (as they say, "the mark of a true gentleman: he never gives offence unintentionally").
