The Month of Study continues, although at a slower pace today. Today, I study only things that amuse me. First up, some mind-bending recursion where I make a list of lists that list the list that list them... and see what weird things I can make happen.
I would... um... rewrite Romeo and Juliet... and call it... Romeo and Rosaline* and Juliet
Best piece of wisdom? Umm... treat every single problem as a completely new situation. Don't assume, don't use what you did "last time", always strip it down to the basics and don't have rules for how to deal with things. Except for the rule of not having rules.
Was that clear as mud?
*Which if I remember correctly was in fact Romeo's first love.
Hmmm... a box. I'm guessing it's computer components from one of the contests for which I signed up. Top of the line video card for sure, maybe even two of them for crossfire/SLI. There might be a motherboard, PSU, and other stuff, as well.
I'm at a loss on the figure from history thing at the moment. I may try to revisit that one.
Okay, I answerd the first.
The ghost I would like to be visited by would be a deceased friend. I would like to know why he did it/if he regretted it and mostly if he was now happy and had found the peace he was looking for. Which I very much hope.
Cartoon charcter..now that's difficult....... I love quite a few cartoons but wouldn't like to be any of them per se! I would probably go for....well no....maybe.....mmmmnope.....I've thought really long about this now and I really don't know. I think I would just have to make me into a cartoon instead...is that aloud?
*gasp* some lovely SG member has sent me something off my wishlist...a pair of shoes. Oh my, and it isn't even my birthday yet. kissy kiss!!! What shall I send him/her back to thank him/her
YOU slept until four wow, lucky so 'n so!
Have a lovely weekend, don't study allll the time.
I'd be the Grinch, because he finally comes around and learns to value the things around him for all they are worth.
Box- A year's supply of mallowmars.
Glad your kitty is going to do better with the shots. Poor thing. The vets must love you too. You've probably kept them in business. You should have a wing dedicated to you. The east wing, where the sun rises.
Since I am updating daily for "the month of study" and since you may not have time to read or comment daily- I am going to keep a running list of questions. Answer any, all, or none, as you like, at any point.
Oh, and in response to your question. A box full of kittens! I need something cute to cheer me up. Oh, except I have cat allergies. As usual, something really fantastic with a serious drawback--just like my life
These desires change on a daily basis. Today I long for total efficiency and focus. At the moment I would also like to be able to wave my hand at the screen and make politicians answer questions truthfully.
My question from last time: if you could instantly be granted one talent or skill, what would it be? One realistic and one complete fantasy answer cheerfully accepted!
My realistic answer would be the talent I am working on right now. To me, programming is the nearest wizardry I'll ever get... and I really like the Java language. That is somewhat ti the credit of... Read More
A talent I would love to posess is knowing what to do with my life. Being able to make dreams into concrete plans. I have talents, but have never channeled them into anything worth while. That saddens me sometimes. I see some with less talents doing better, just because they know what they want, set a goal and work to achieve it. Makes me sick
A fantasy talent would have to be...................flying. I used to swear I could fly. Would wake up wondering if it was a dream or if it was real. I've never actually tried it full awake and I don't think I should either.
and of course the very day you mention talking to me in the morning I'm not able to make it to chat. It was a crazy morning that I'll tell you about later.
So, I've woken up about three hours earlier than I usually do. This could be a problem, if I hadn't had a nap Sunday afternoon- but I did, so I should be fine. In a minute or two, I am going to go use two of those hours to study... because that's what I am declaring June to be: the month of study!
Good luck with the studying. I think I'd want to have a knack for performing for others. It wouldn't matter what so much as just being comfortable doing it.
Yeah, I was pretty stoked too. I was sitting on my porch and I turned to the left and there he was. Just as shocked to see me as I was to see him. He didn't run away but he did leave the scene pretty fast. I ran to grab my camera and have one photo of his head sticking out above the grass somewhere... I'll have to see if I can find it. - I make a lousy photorapher though...unlike you.
Awww you've added me to your favorites Thank you so much.
I'll manage, I'm sure, but I feel like someone who is halfway across a rope bridge, and turns around to see two or three burly bad guys grinning and hacking at the ropes with hatchets. And I so don't feel like Indiana Jones. Fortunately(?) this is not a test of physical speed, but rather mental.
Actually it's been there some time. And I've eaten there before and it was great. I guess they just cuoldn't handle the pressure. There was a notice seeking new chefs so maybe a few key cooks had recently left and they were without good coordination. Just goes to show you how important communication is, without it everything goes to pieces.
All I can say Grayness is that times like these, with the right attitude, will make you stronger, wiser and usually a nicer, better person. Take everystep on the bridge with thought- be aware of what you are doing and why- don't run blindlessly you might trip up and for ever regret it. When you reach the otherside you will have learned along the way and appreciate the ease with which future steps are taken.
I have spent every day since i heard that question debating it. I never believed in soulmates until recently and it just seemed such an odd question.
I still dont know the answer. I always thought "if we're believing in something that is made of fairytales and fate then why can't there be a happy ending option?"
BUt then again i guess that wouldn't be a good "would you rather".
I looked out across
The river today
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
Where the seagulls play
I saw the sad shire horses walking home
In the sodium light
I saw two priests on the ferry
October geese on a cold winter's night
And all this time, the river flowed
Endlessly to... Read More
Tired. Been sanding and painting doors. I gots lots of them. I didn't know how many until I started this f'in project! Taking a break from the paint fumes. The mind is slow. The body slower. guess you could say, I'm watching paint dry. Pretty exciting for a Friday night.
wow, lucky so 'n so!

Good to hear Fearless is doing okay.
