A few words
"When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness." ~ D.H. Lawrence "Is the meaning of life defined by its duration? Or does life have a purpose so large that it doesn't have to be prolonged at any cost to preserve its meaning?" "Living is not good, but living well. The wise man, therefore, lives as well as he should, not as long as he can... He will always think of life in terms of quality not quantity... Dying early or late is of no relevance, dying well or ill is... even if it is true that while there is life there is hope, life is not to be bought at any cost." ~ Seneca "People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. Those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect." ~ Daydream Nation "All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories-- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death." ~ The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes "The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer to the elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong site of the road." ~ Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita "It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." ~ William Blake Think about it Musicalities! Kill that boredom!

Jhonen Vasquez's site Overheard in New York Passive Aggressive Notes Submarinechannel.com Superdickery UHpinions Whirled | Read Thursday, November 17, 2011 I should just wear this one shirt for the rest of my life so people know what's up: CLICKIES In fact, all my clothing should tell people about me, so that we won't have to bother with discussing it. Or maybe I should just get "I don't know" tattooed all over my body. Same thing, right? It might not work for people who can't/are too lazy to read, though. -Shrug- --- Jasper linked me to THIS ARTICLE, and I thought it was interesting/kind of relevant to my life. It's hard to tell though, if people are manipulating you or if they're right. How do you know when something is true? 8 Comments. you don't » middaymoon on 2011-11-18 12:15:22 LOVE THE BIRD » invisible on 2011-11-18 04:06:59 That was a really great article. I think the point is that during an argument it never, ever, EVER helps to call the other person "crazy" or to tell them that they are "overreacting", being "too sensitive", or "not being logical". Just like he says, within those statements is a value judgment about how the other person should feel. It is an out-of-hand dismissal of something that the other person is feeling very strongly. By saying any one of those things you make the person you're arguing with feel even more angry or sad and ultimately just really frustrated and diminished. Someone's friends are completely within their right to feel taken aback when his or her emotional response is way stronger than what they expect, but it's way more helpful for them to say something like, "I didn't expect you to be so angry, where is your anger coming from?" or "Is everything ok? Did I do something besides being late?" and if the friend tries to dismiss his/her own emotions, for them to say something like, "but I don't like seeing you so upset, I'd like to know what provoked that reaction so that I won't hurt you in the future." I think that makes it way easier for the upset person to either admit that how they reacted was over-the-top, or to actually talk about what was really wrong. I think most of the time people aren't *trying* to manipulate you, they are just think they are being "honest". The difficulty of course is trying to break the cycle, since you can never change other people. I think sometimes when someone else says, "You're overreacting," if you say, "But can you at least see where I'm coming from here?" Contrary to what internet comments say, good friends don't habitually tell each other that they are "crazy" or "overly-emotional". That is never, ever helpful. ps: I am liking this Jasper more and more every day by the way. pps: "Gaslight" is an awesome movie. » Zanzibar on 2011-11-18 06:54:12 and once again I write a comment that is longer than they entry that it is commenting on! » Zanzibar on 2011-11-18 06:54:37 that article was dreadful. » undisputed on 2011-11-18 01:36:30 I agree with Zanzi. I believe that most of the time, people aren't purposely trying to talk down to you or make you feel bad. But there are always exceptions. I liked reading the article, though. It does have a good message that people should be aware of what they're saying, how they're saying it and keep in mind when a good time to say it is. Sometimes what you say is the right thing, but it's said at the complete wrong time. » LostSoul13 on 2011-11-18 10:36:44 re: Haha, Muffy and I actually talked about the fact that he would have to meet you at some point too, but Cali is not that close; it's not far, but it's not just a day trip. And the classes I'm taking are English 101, ASL and Math 84. I'm not happy about the math class, but I'm hoping that this will be just a refresher so I'll be able to test into something much higher at the end of the quarter and get in to the higher class in the spring. » LostSoul13 on 2011-11-18 10:40:01 re: pink DSi That's because a) my sister needed money so I let her sell my dsis. I am saving up for a laptop and a 3DS.. so.. I'm using my sister's uber pink dsi. » littleflower on 2011-11-19 02:28:09
