Enjoy!
I'm avoiding going to work. I technically start at 11 today but as I finished my 100 ques. exam in 25 minutes, I'm stalling for time. *Sigh* I'm convinced that working does, infact, get in the way of a really nice life. I'd much rather stay in the park, or take a page from our dear (e:ladycroft) and go sailing! (That is the thing that I've decided to learn to do once I get my teaching degree- somehow, someway!)
Fellow (e:peeps), have a peach of a day! And remember to Enjoy!

"No Fear" vs. "Great Courage"
I am addicted to Dove dark chocolate. On the inside of the little red, foil wrapper there is a little inspirational saying. Last week, I kept coming up with the "Be Fearless" one. While on the surface, it is a wise suggestion as fear is generally what holds individual's back, but when you really think about it, though, it's really a stupid idea. Fear is a very real emotion that does serve a purpose of self preservation. It becomes inhibiting when it kicks in over things like spiders, elevators, the dark, etc... and a person becomes so paralyzed he or she can barely move, think, or save one's self should the situation arise. (Believe it or not, the idea is much clearer and eloquent in my head... and the words I am chusing are not expressing it as I would wish, but I shall press on, regardless...) To have "no fear" is to let go of a very real and necessary physiological response that has helped humanity throughout our evolution. The real answer, in my opinion, is to not have "No Fear" but to have great courage, which is to recognize and acknowledge that the fear is there and then move past it, to do what needs to be done. Maybe I'm full of shit but it's my revelation and I'm sticking to it...
So, I say to all of you live your lives with Great Courage! ;)

Much Better
I do think, though, that when an optimist hits the doldrums, we can get into a deeper depression than the most dedicated pessimist. The trick is, though that rather than dwelling there interminably, we dust ourselves off and smile and say, "What a beautiful day!" and move on from there. At least, that's what I do because, Magically, everything works out for the best in the end. So very Panglossian, and so very, very true. Ciao! :)

slapped down again
I always say that I have no luck, but that is not true. I am a very fortunate person in a lot of ways, but where I have no luck is with the opposite sex and that stings. *sigh* I'll nurse back from this. I always do. I comfort myself with the fact that he really is a decent fellow and at least had the respect for me to be honest with me. That doesn't happen very often.

OH MY GOD!
The thought angers, terrifies, and sickens all at the same time. What a feat!

It's all about ME!
Let's see, let's see, what else is going on? Oh yes, my fairy godfather, aka, my Uncle Stan who works for Sony Imageworks is buying the house next to my parents'. It's this gorgeous chalet/ long cabin looking house with amazing views! He and my Aunt bought it as a vacation home, as they live in L.A. (the actual sunny L.A., not sunny Lackawanna). Anyway, he asked me if I would live there as the caretaker, RENT FREE! And- they'll be paying the utilities! There are only two restrictions- no cats and I have to go back next door to my parents' when they come in. Needless to say, I think I could deal with those terms. I have to say, I cannot wait to knock around in this 2200 square foot house and cook for myself and enjoy the peace and quiet of not having anyone else living with me and no animals to yell at. AAHHH!! So, I'm supposed to be moving in sometime in June or July, after the remodeling is complete.
School is going very well, thus far. I like my online class quite a bit and I love, Love, LOVE my Holistic Curriculum class on Thursdays. It's so amazing! It's all about brain based learning and I just can't get enough! I keep talking about the brain, and how we learn, and what function is where- I'm waiting for my mother to tell me to shut the hell up! But it's just so interesting, as least to me.
And on Friday, as I was watching Stargate:Atlantis, I came to the realization that, yes, I am a nerd. And I'm okay with that.
I'll try not to go so long with out posting. I feel as though I have nothing to say and, well, I guess it turns out that I do.
Adieu.
