i'm lucky - i do live in a bubble. one of my own creating. some think me quite unlucky. and they think i must be very unhappy living all alone in my private bubble. they are wrong.

i completely agree... i want to be a bear and hybernate, but all year long, not just a few months, cause i love to sleep and be away from people...

i had the same thought as smallelaine - about the overpopulation. but just nixing a few thousand is nothing. if she really wants us gone (and i suspect she might) she'll shake us off like so many fleas.

500 years. hum. i remember learning somewhere along the way that the greatest human advancements, especially in the arts and sciences, were made once people started living to be forty. it seems it is useful for that older generation to be able to pass something along to the younger one. but to be quite honest, the first thing i thought of when reading your entry was the vulcans! then i thought i was being silly.... cuz we created them.... then i realized that it doesn't matter. they live long and so do the romulans. they both display possibilities of what could happen were our species more long-lived. it is interesting to consider those possibilities and the many others that exist. it also seems quite futile to me at the moment - along with most everything else.

ok, fear has served humans well - i would never deny that. the fear i was speaking of was the kind wielded by those in power to maintain and increase their power over those who cannot or will not think, question and act.

as for your rather unique use of the term 'checkpoint' - why have you chosen to use that particular term?

i spent like 4 hours on christmas eve cleaning house from top to bottom... ugh.. i am obsessed with my house being clean when anyone comes over, even if they've been to my house a thousand times...

i agree with maitressedemence.... always clean, but never perfect - that perfection we strive for. i'll think i got everything... and then i'll be sitting there chatting and sharing a bottle of vino and see a dusty cobweb dangling from the ceiling and i can't help but knit my brow. *sigh* must be the virgo in me. of me? virgoness and virgoity!

a wise friend of mine said, "if you wait until your house is perfect to have anyone over, you'll never have any company." i'm hoping he's not dead. he was in kerala, india visiting family. *sigh* again. anyway, i do try to follow his advice.

have a splendid time with your friends and it wouldn't hurt to have some lincoln logs or games or something handy for the kids (depending on age) just a thought. what are you making for dinner?

i agree. i don't even know why anyone would want to attempt it. but i must say - thinking about it - i realized that it was an odd thought to be having on the christmas (which i've decided should be renamed "nativity" or something else having to do with the birth of peace into the world - the christ-mass happens at what we call easter - when the dude died and became 'the christ'). i have some odd thoughts too.

say, why were you thinking about that? what prompted the thought? why now? and why did you feel compelled to write it down for us? (not that i mind, i'm just trying to understand it ;o) you know, when you say you just want to understand rather than boldly state that you're analyzing.... it sounds almost as bad. tee hee!

i really am curious though. i like the things you think about and the questions you raise. i like that you share them. thank you.

and.... Merry Christmas! (do you celebrate Christmas?)

ok, nix the merry christmas and replace with - i hope you are invited to a lot of parties and informal gatherings such that you may go twelve days without having to cook yourself a meal!!!

as for the computer model of genetic predisposition etc.... i want to remain as "unpredictable" as people seem to think i am! again i ask - who would want to have their entire life analyzed!?! the thought is disturbing at best. but yeah, soon the computer power necessary to do that will fit in the palm of your hand. (that is, once we master portable power sources - batteries) i think maybe i think a little too much too. some say it's a bad thing. i like it. what think you?

happy hollidays!!!

thankyou for the birthday wishes

nice profile pic too. is that my prezzie??

Maybe some day we can join the Losers For Life club?

PS. I went caching today, and now my throat hurts!
Eh, I dislike winter more and more every year.

I'm going to be awake for a while. Call or message me if you want. I don't know if you want to be around me, because I might be starting to get sick...

At least I'm not coughing and no runny nose.

looks painful

Pork? Dose that mean no bacon!!!!!

those are excellent quotes. somehow my mind went to "participant observation." well, i guess that does make sense. sort of. anyway, i'm desperately curious about this dropped clue.... you can't just say you dropped one and then not give the who, what, where, when, why and how of it! i'm glad to hear that Blade movie isn't bad - i hope to waste sums of money to see it and eat awful popcorn and goobers and so on this weekend.

i keep thinking about giving up the meat again. at one point i was a vegan - that's more extreme than i think i could handle. but a chicken can live so many years - and we eat 'em so young. seems a crime. and well, all my reasons are related to the animals themselves and not at all to my health. maybe i could start with everything but seafood? saying farewell to bacon and a good steak from time to time will be difficult. but if i make an agreement with myself that i can eat whatever the host serves when i'm visiting someone.... but i have no moral support and the spine of a snake. unless i think about why i'm doing it. see? i have my entire internal dialogue right here in your journal. sorry!

i want some soup.

Yeah, I assumed you worked last night because there was no answer when I called. Sorry. I know you wanted an answer about this weekend.
I'm assuming you said no because you didn't hear from me?

Where did you get the photo from? Who's is it?

Get the emails I sent you? I hope so. My laptop keeps loosing its network connection ever since Dave brought it back from Colorado, not sure if they all sent.

excellent idea. my trouble is that i see at least two sides of any given problem - and depending on my knowledge of the subject, can see quite a few more. and a lot of the consequences. *sigh* and (smile) i'm glad i live in the middle, no matter how painful it is. it would be easier to just pick a side you know.... ;o)

yea they only ship to cali. man i can older you some and seed it to you

i emailed you about new years eve...
yuck.. i remember how sore my teeth would be after tightening of the braces... i would get really bad headaches from it too. hope it feels better soon.

yay!

PS. Dave is coming home early (tomorrow), so I won't get all my projects completed that I wanted to.

i'm a ten hour sleeper - except for when i'm not. but i usually don't feel rested unless i've slept ten. when do i sleep? right about the time the sun comes up. i've been sleeping less these past few weeks, less time for sunlight. and no, i'm not a vamp wannabe, i just feel safer sleeping when it's light out. so i'm neurotic. eh, whatever. sometime between three and nine in the morning i'll pass out. sometime between three and five in the afternoon/evening i'll wake. then i drink a pepsi one. queer, i know. but somehow that one calorie makes it taste more like regular coke. i drink a couple of these while i check email and such and maybe do a load of laundry. what i do next depends on what needs to be done and what i feel up to doing. sometimes it's all just terribly overwhelming and i hide in bed again. most of the time though i manage to keep the house nice and make a tasty and nutritious dinner. i spend a lot of time playing with the dogod. yup. that's the life of a mer.
