I hate the internet today. This absolutely ideal man has been messaging me through myspace the last few days. He's got my same sense of humor , taste in books and quirky political leanings. The downside ... he's in freaking australia. And now we get back to why i hate the internet. 10 years ago i never would have been able to meet this man...

sorry for all the random poetry, but i've been writing a grant proposal all week and will be for the next few weeks. It's nice to stop for a few moments and write something else.

We're supposed to believe in something
to believe in anything
to believe that life is worth living and dying for
to get on with this day and seek a new one.

and willow looked up
please to see only
the shadow of the moon marred
the perfect blackness

and she looked down
to see a sea
of man made stars

I finally got the internet set up in my new apartment and was quite suprised by the changes in the suicide girls site. I can't say that I'm happy with the excessive amount of baby pink.

on different note, I've been contemplating the phrase 'high pain tolerance'. For a long time i've descibed myself as having a high pain tolerance but then after talking to other people who describe themselves that way I think i've been misusing the phase. When most people use it, I think they are trying to imply that they don't feel pain to the same degree as...

Bizzar experience today:

I helped a little old lady cross the street. I had always thought that was something that only happened on tv. I was crossing the street in front of my apartment building and there was a little old lady standing on the other side. As I approached her I glanced over and I must have caught her eye because she instantly asked...
