Martial vs marital matters

A long time ago, the fictional persona Werther pondered upon this 'Must it be that all that makes us  happy, be also the well of our unhappiness?' And since I first read it, it has been the question I regurlarly yet infrequently sigh over myself.

My year so far has been more like something of a dream. With a job that I am finally really enjoying, exams that went better than expected, new and inspiring friends and classes in art school, even -and I may regret ever confessing to this- some peace of mind that I thought I would never know. Except that the heart is not so calm. It still wants everything.

But  what the heart wants, and what the mind thinks is possible are very very far apart. I just wait for an artificial blood pump to become commercially available and then I'll trade mine for its weight in chocolate.

Blonde Sympathy

I am a little too late to call my to dye- adventure a sympathy act for a house mate's recent il-fortune when trying to revert her gorgeous copper locks to the natural blonde. I hope she draws comfort nonetheless from the unfortunate outcome of my home-do.

Some advice ladies; whatever our hair needs; go the to hairdresser. You don't want straw on your head.

Quote #46

I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves.

August Strindberg

I'll it know that the above is no expression of my personal opinion though.

Quote #45

I -totally- second this.

I always find it more difficult to say the things I mean than the things I don't.
W. Somerset Maugham

Alas.

Funny though not entirely accurate. Apparently some men are aware of female lifeforms and have initialysed a primitive form of communication.

Through a child's eyes.

And don't you forget it.

No arguing this.

There can be no other occupation like gardening in which, if you were to creep up behind someone at their work, you would find them smiling.

"You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children."

Madeleine L'Engle

Damn right there isn't!

I'm very happy to finally get some recognistion for what I have believed and have been saying for years.

World Animal Day

Though even long before the church scandals (both national and international) broke out, I was not so ardent (if at all) in the catholic belief that I was brought up in. However I feel that, though actual veneration of saints and idols is a bridge too far, certain icons and legends and myths may by the choises they made and their exemplary path of life have yet a lesson in store for us.

And humility and kindness to animals are not the least of them. I know I have yet a great many lessons to learn in those departments.

Quote #41

Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good.

Lapsus

It is better not to confuse a room mate with a mating room.

Crush- part 7 billion

It seems to me a truth, universally acknowledged that all handsome men most be gay or long-term commited and very often both. Still can't help liking this guy though.

What writing utensils may reveal...

It may well be true. In your face mister I-like-you-but-I'm-not-quite-ready-for-a-relationship-yet.

You Are a Green Pen

You are not just a little quirky, you're downright weird. And you're proud of being different! You go against the grain just so you won't fit in. You couldn't imagine being like everyone else. You are creative and a big wacky. You've got a big vision, and it's changing every week. You are surprisingly charming and popular. You may not be normal in any way, but that's part of your appeal.

What Color Pen Are You?

I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this.

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Give a fish a man, and he'll eat for weeks!

Dieting tips

• Visit Japan, where only sugar isn`t completely sugarfree
• Travel: jetlag, the sudden activity and the time it takes to acquire a taste for weird foods will kill your appetite.
• Don`t snack.
• Only eat food, you have made from scratch yourself.
