Quest for the day...

Yep. Here I am...waitin til the last minute to do my blogging! It's just more fun that way.

Well, my quest for this day, the Ides of March, was to get rid of this awful, awful cough and to finish Battlestar Galactica.  At this point, I may have done one of the two so far, but I probably wont be able to tell until tomorrow.  I did get the chance to try a Neti Pot! Great experience...very strange, but great, for sure! Gotta flush those sinuses! On the other hand, I have two episodes of Battlestar left, and I am a little nervous to venture on! One of my friends, whose opinion on entertainment I hold in high esteem, told me that maybe I shouldn't watch the last two episodes. What!? Obviously I cannot do that, just like I cannot not read the Buffy comics even though I'm afraid that I won't like them. I gotta see these things through. Even though they may be mundane, entertainment things, it's still seeing them through, and not quitting on them.  Maybe this loyalty will, in turn, bleed into other aspects of my life that are a bit more important than entertainment. One can only hope.

Well I am about to embark on these last two episodes, now. Wish me luck. I guess I will word-vomit my feelings about the series on here tomorrow.

Hopefully this 30 days of blogging that I've committed to won't drive me, or any of you for that matter, nutso :)

I'll end with this quote that I liked from one of the episodes I watched today.

"It may feel like Hell, but sometimes lost is where you need to be.  Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one."

We're All Mad Here.

The moon was a Cheshire Cat tonight! By far my favorite kind of moon there is. Also the most distracting when I'm trying to drive home.  

Obviously I went home and put on my Cheshire Cat sleep shirt, and am now cozy in my bed. :)
You know...that cheshire cat said some interesting things:

"Every adventure requires a first step. Trite, but true, even here."

 

"The proper order of things is often a mystery to me. You, too?"

"Only a few find the way, some don't recognize it when they do - some... don't ever want to."

How bout that?
And we really are all mad here on this planet. Each in their own way. Mad mad mad. Good and bad, but all mad!

Alrighty.

BSG time...

...Nine, Ten, Never Sleep Again.

 Oh my. What a great movie!

And this is possibly the best Freddy poster I have ever seen! (for Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child)

Just a random note since I am currently watching Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy.

Woohoo!

Windswept

"And so we stood together like that, at the top of that field, for what seemed like ages, not saying anything, just holding each other, while the wind kept blowing and blowing at us, tugging our clothes, and for a moment, it seemed like we were holding on to each other because that was the only way to stop us being swept away into the night."

Second-Guesser Fesser Upper

Why in the world do I ALWAYS second guess myself? I do it even for the smallest of things. When I am positive I know something, I look it up just to make sure! All the time. For someone who doesn't really care about being wrong, I sure do care about sounding stupid! This also came up a lot when I was in school. I never wanted to answer questions for fear of being wrong. And probably more than half the time I was actually thinking the correct answer. And then I would immediately think to myself, "Garsh...you're so stupid! Why don't you ever just speak up!?"
I guess because the few times that I DID speak up, I WAS wrong, and then felt really dumb. But what's wrong with being dumb anyway? I obviously know that compared to many people, I am, what you could call dumb, and I know that I will never be finished learning...so what's the big deal? Why do I want to be such a Know-It-All!?

MARCIA, MARCIA, MARCIA!

PS-While writing this blog, I looked up whether or not second-guess really had a dash in it, and also if I spelled Marcia correctly for the context in which I was using it.....even though I was pretty confident that that was how the Brady's spelled it!

All too content....but never satisfied.

"Do you wake up and lie there
And think it through?
Is the weight of your own life
Too much for you?"

I've lately been feeling like I have made my way up a mountain and come to a cliff, but instead of jumping off (like so many people do when they go for what they want) I just set up camp and have been hangin' out there ever since. And every day I just go to the very edge and look over. And all I do is think about jumping. About how amazing it would be, how freeing. And then, instead, I just go cuddle up in my sleeping bag and read a good book, and wish for adventure...and love.
And people just keep coming up, and passing me by...some stopping to talk and exchange stories, but always leaving me behind in the end. I find myself wishing to meet some crazy person. Someone crazy enough to push me off the cliff, since I'm so afraid to take the plunge myself. But I never meet that person. And I always comes back to the realization that I'm eventually going to have to do it on my own.

I wish that I weren't such a fearful person.

I wish that I still believed in all of my dreams.

I wish that I had guts.

I wish that I had confidence in everything I do.


I wish someone would just push me.

Why Can't Life Be More Like Pride and Prejudice?

It would be as simple as meeting an agreeable man, dining a few times, out-witting each other a bit, dancing a lot, writing a letter or two, then.....BAM....proposal.....marriage. Done deal.

So simple.

I mean...that IS how it happened in real life too....right?
