You'll probably always have more ideas than finished works. That's a good thing, too. If you run out of ideas...write them all...what do you have left to do??

I have lots of bits and pieces of stuff. I usually (*usually*) finish poems. But I have many unfinished stories lying around. Every once in a while I'll pick an old one up and write some more, then put it back down. Eventually, I figure I'll finish most of the bits and pieces.

Sure, of course I've thought of trying to do it more seriously. Being able to be a writer (a fiction writer, or a poet...) and make a living off it would be a dream come true for me. But until then, I'm an editor. So I'm at least working with words.

hee - funny! i guess i should be glad my hair doesn't look like santa.

hope yr doing well!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!

omg, FAB5FREDDY!!! that is so awesome.

and yr love of the holiday is really precious. few people i know care for such things ... its is lovely that you do. hope yr day was full of love and light.

to fly would be mine hands down. i've always wanted to fly. i would travel everywhere.

i like that time travel idea though too. its a pretty good one.

8 page self eval? tell me about it. i've had to do one probably 4-5 times a school year for the last 4 years. it sucks.

i think maybe you need to be distracted from government, politics, religion, and Bush for a while

hahaha... thast awesome.

nice one!

i totally agree. im very afraid for your country and what that idiot is going to do in the next four years.

i agree that god, whatever you perceive him to be, should have nothing to do with politics, foreign policy, etc. god and an individual's perception of god should remain a personal issue, and not a public one. i'm not even going to start on the gay marriage issue. it is bad enough most states don't have domestic partner benefits, let alone gay marriage rights...

anyway, as far as god goes for me, my religious belief happen to be "non-mainstream" and, in large part, can be supported by science. every thing in the universe has its own unique energy.......

yes, i love halloween! but, honestly, i love it as much for the spiritual side as for the campier elements. in fact, as i child i eshewed trick or treating because i found it mercenary and vulgar (i was 7, had only been stateside for 2 halloweens, only out for one, and simply would not have it). however, i dressed and made some rituals. my approach to halloween is an un/holy union of catholicism, wicca, and sort of taoist sensibilities ~ at least the animism idea ~ with just a touch of yogic wisdom. anyway ...

as for the music, ummmm, YES. when i moved to dc, i was deeply dissapointed to find the punk scene had utterly dissolved. then i considered that it was during the clinton administration, and things were good, so there was no strife for artists to react against. however, right now, i think musicians and other artists are reacting, but what we recieved is more mediated messages about them talking about their art rather than their art. however, i believe its out there somewhere.

bush must be stopped.

thank you, sir ~

and ahhhh, emerson is fabulous. i don't love the transcendentalists, honestly, but emerson is quite marvelous ... and so wise.

happy halloween!

Thanks! You, too!

omg, office space. hilarious!! hope it wasn't too horrid.

as for excercise, each week i lift weights (split training) 3-4 days, at least 2 yoga classes, pilates videos (whole body and specific part), and several dance classes. i used to swim competitively as well, so when i have access to a pool, i do a few miles a week. and some of it is just natural luck. woo.

hey who are ya? you've never posted on my journal, but you are on my friends request list... what made you request?

ugh - i think you gave it to me! i awoke kinda icky, but refuse to submit. what sports do you play?

and the abbreviated/extended week? hell yes.

Hope you are feeling well.

I play basketball mostly. I have also played tennis, golf, baseball, bowling, volleyball, football, and hockey on occasion, although I don't really consider golf or bowling a sport. I also jog a bit and try to weight train every so often.

If your many legs are as strong as you say, there must be some method to get them that way. What do you do sporting or athletically?

okay so I've been denied
no group for me
this is what always happens to me when i try to help people...
i lose my powers of grammar and punctuation

that would be a very telling/interesting project, me thinks ~ you should create it!

and sorry about yr group thing, but it seems clara has provided a handy alternative? ahhhh, well.

anger is such a vital emotion ~ i've a penchant for rage, but i agree, one must vent/control/take responsibility.
