mmmm, have a delightful trip and very much enjoy the her. and i like that analogy very much! you may be underestimating the appeal of cold waffles, but otherwise its quite nice.

i like the line about crushes you have ~ nice nice.

Like the world is made of glass and steal. like the sad when nothings real

I hope your quest goes well, very serendipidous...

thank you for your kind words, sir!

wow ~ that is an amaaaazing story ~ and i agree with you completely. disneyland as a child *shudder*.

*laugh* *shudder* you made me do both. wonderful. Thank you!

*leaves a bunch of juicy carrots behind*

I like the new pics! Very cool.

Well, I am off all week, so I am going to do a bit of reading too. It has been a while since I spent some time reading. In fact, that just gave me my journal entry idea for today! Thanks! Gonna go write it.

So what exactly do you mean when you say:

'you fight the Need with the wrong weapons, on the wrong field'?

What are the right weapons and the right field? If you've got advice, let's hear it...

So I've got your astrological profile here and it seems you have your sun in Libra and moon in Cancer - there's a real kind of tension between opposites there, which may explain some of your 'struggles'...
Here are some highlights:

Sensitive; emotional; moody; entertaining; adaptable; sociable; love of intimacy; caring and considerate; domestic; artistic; musical; intuitive; prudent mind; talkative; nervous; devoted friend...
the socialite of the family... a romantic individualist, ambitious for both career success in the outer world and for the intimate kinship that keeps you going. Sensitive to the feelings and needs of others, you use your 'feminine' intuition and amazing adaptability to help others as well as to protect yourself from disharmony...
You know what you feel, but is it really true?... moody, apprehensive and a little timid... natural diplomacy and charisma... Intimate friendships in which true affection and trust are shared are vital for your happiness. When you feel appreciated and truly 'seen' you purr like a kitten (!)... at other times you sink into a brooding, withdrawn shell... you get hurt easily... need for a harmonious home life and a steady emotional environment...
You have a good mind for art, history, mythology, music and teaching...
Strengths: sensitivity, warmth and concern for others; emotional energy; intellectual curiosity and alertness; quiet individualism and respect for others' rights; artistic imagination and powers of communication; adaptability in the face of obstacles...
Weaknesses: tendency to over-romanticize; sentimentality; need to please others; emotional instability and vulnerability; proneness to self-pity...
Famous libra-cancer personalities: Graham Greene, Olivia Newton-John , Paul Simon, Eleanour Roosevelt...

What do you think? Complete nonsense or do you recognise something of yourself in there?

Yeah - I'm from San Anselmo, so I went to school with 3 of them.

Here's some pics from a reunion they did a couple years back

you're high on bass vibe! It's still loving your body.

I here ponies make good enchaladas. Hmmm...

Lazarus!

It was lovely to talk with you this evening whilst I cooked my dinner. I hope you're having a wonderful time tonight.

what woodstock1027 said. wow.

The Snuff Channel?

Yeah the mirror world is just a tad disturbing.

I'm afraid I can't feel the burning breath of your collective love. *sigh*

2) mostly the epiphanies i have are as transient as the problem they bulldoze

I know exactly what you mean. I really liked the way you put it.

4) this nether scares or intrigues, mostly its like watching a phenomenon one knows very well, and then every once in awhile it does something different and I smile

This is the attitude that I am aiming for about it and I think I will get there someday when I can overcome my fear of feeling out of control. Besides I like to have meaty things to ponder and without inner turmoil where would I be?

surely people didn't actually love each other for life in the 'old days', they just felt more obligation to pretend?

I found a nice quote in Nietzsche: 'I have always found the badly-paired to be the most revengeful: they make everybody suffer for the fact that they are no longer single.'

A emotional credit-card sounds good although knowing my current spending habits, I'd soon rack up insurmountable debts... Imagine being emotionally 'maxed out'...

Speaking of German music, do you know Schneider TM's cover version of the Smiths' 'There is a Light that Never Goes Out'?
'And if a ten-ton truck
Crashes into us
To die by your side
What a heavenly way to die...'

Enjoy your multiple blunt force trauma.

i'll tell you what would happen: the world would explode...that's what would happen.

Looking at your hairy chest, I can quite see the Robin williams analogy.

Mock swordfighting eh? Is it anything to do with kendo or not quite so structured? Whatever, sounds cool, or should I say 'neat-o'? Haven't heard that one in a while!

I tell you, every time I read your journal I just sit here agog and grinning ( ) trying to get my head around what it must be like to live your life. i wish we lived near each other, we could be pals. I figure you're the kind of person can enliven an evening with nothing but your wit...

Reminds me of a line from David Mamet's film State and Main:
guy: sounds like you had to make your own fun back then.
girl: you always make your own fun. Otherwise it's not fun, it's entertainment.

You rock.

I was hoping someone would make the X-Men connection.

I'm part norwegian and swedish amongst other things.

Hey young man, take it easy with that Guinness.

Yr questions:
1) well a week isn't too long is it really? You couldn't get far and see stuff at the same time... The places I've always wanted to see most are, like you, Japan, and then all of North America, but especially Alaska. So maybe that's my answer: Alaska.
But, this afternoon, I saw a film set in/about Brazil, with all these violent street kids from the favelas in Rio and I'm thinking, Jesus, why would anyone want to go to Brazil, the place is fucked, but meanwhile, the rest of me is thinking, what more exciting holiday destination could there be...?

2) Space: er, probably not, really. I can, y'know, see it from here. Maybe if there was a destination, like Mars or something...

3) all of them. But especially, ooh, Russian, German, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, I could go on... I once had dreams of learning several more (and, at least German, Russian and Japanese), but doubt whether I'll manage it now. Still I have French, if you need any pointers...

I am still pretty messed up, in a cute, waveringly drunken sort of way.

I'd love to have been there to teeter you.
