midnight snack

I got out of bed to satisfy my cheese and pickles craving......watched Tegan and Sara on Conan....."surfed" online on MySpace.....do people surf online anymore? What about walk? or run? or bicycle? I biked online today. Today, I didn't do anything but skate online...hhmmm

I've been watching the original Hairspray, and.....

Funny that someone would re-make a John Waters' film......what's next?

Experience! Declare! Find and Discover!

Seems as if I should be having more regrets or wishes for things I didn't do or haven't done or experienced, but to be honest, I don't have many. I have the general sense of not having done or accomplished everything I wanted to, but it's taken so many others to point out how much I've lived, loved, travelled, explored, and experienced. Thank you to those dear friends, you know who you are. And the truth is, as ambitious as I am and was, there will always be the undiscovered, the yet-to-be-experienced, and the undeclared.
So, is it really worth my time worrying about what has not been or is it better to remember what was? Obvious to some, but unavoidable for others.

The kindness of strangers

I have been blessed in so many ways. It's hard to recall them at certain dark hours, but I relish the good moments when they occur.
Today, for instance, I received a call from social security regarding the disability forms and work reports I had filled out and filed online. The man was so nice over the phone, telling me I had done a good job filling them out and he sees no reason why I shouldn't get approved. After talking to him for awhile, I felt somewhat elated, thinking how great it was to get hold of a real human being for once. The bureaucracy of these institutions sometimes can get me down, so it's quite a relief when things go right for a change.

My fortune

Also been thinking about fortune cookie I recently opened with this fortune: "Don't pursue happiness, create it." I needed to hear this from an objective source such as a cookie. I'm always hearing it from others close to me, but it means so much more coming from a bland, yet tasty treat.

Suggest something

As I sit and listen to my Ipod, desperately trying to get The Beach Boys' Wouldn't it be Nice? out of my head, I think of writing about sharing a good book and of reading something that someone recommended....and liking it.
A definite sense of satisfaction occurs when I can recommend a great book and am met with ample praise afterwards as to the book's satisfying delivery. I also love recommending a good band or singer to others and afterwards have them "discover" how great Placebo is or surprisingly agree that The Dresden Dolls is a shared love.

Also, putting a smile on my face and giving me a sense of satisfaction is reading a book or listening to something that someone else recommended. Things that are too good not to be shared. Or perhaps something that popped out at them while reading or listening that said, "Hey, I think Wendy would like this." I like that.

Sad when the suggestion does not hold favor with the suggestee.


P.S. Am listening to the Scissor Sisters. Recommend "I don't feel like dancing"!

Last Night

Crazy dreams about aliens, driving alien ships, escaping alien prisons, meeting and falling in love with the lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins(he liked me too!), mad science lab of cats and babies, and going back in time and seeing myself (time travel no-no).
