| Totally and completely owned my last birthday, and all birthdays before that one as well.
It was awesome, and I loved it and it was great! | | |

| I started working on my novel again . . . it's 62 pages. I've been working on it for over a year though . . . oh well, some novels take up to 6 years, so no worries. | | |
| It's comforting to know a few things in this world will never change.
Probably said by someone referred to throughout history as " Anonymous" who also wrote some smashing good poems as well as some aptly said quotes.
1. Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
2. Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.
3.To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism, to steal ideas from many is research.
4. Life itself can't give you joy, unless you really will it. Life just gives you time and space, it's up to you to fill it.
5. Leadership is the ability to hide your panic from others.
6. Under the most rigorously controlled conditions of pressure, temperature, humidity, and other variables, the organism will do as it damn well pleases.
7. Philosophy is a game with objectives and no rules. Mathematics is a game with rules and no objectives.
8. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Naturally they became heroes.
9. Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children
10. Genius is the talent of a person who is dead.
There's ten quotes for you, said by someone who is probably dead, or is sitting somewhere in the back of a musty library, with their feet propped up on an ottoman in the dusty sunlight, and they are so hidden behind stacks of books you can't tell whether or not they are a man or a woman, but you can tell they are privately laughing at the world by the way they slowly turn the pages of the book they are reading. Their words are a private joke to them, and when they go out to run errands or attend a party, and someone says a quote such as,
" A pessimist is one who feels bad when he feels good for fear he'll feel worse when he feels better."
and the rest of the group comments on how witty that sounds and perhaps they'll say it later at work when someone is complaining to them about how their boss is such a pessimist.
So the person, anonymous, thinks of that the second their phrase is said, and they lift their glass full of champagne, or smirnoff vodka, to their lips and as they drink they close their eyes to enjoy the bitter taste, and also to wonder to themselves at how empty people's conversations would be unless they said words that were said by someone they didn't know the name of. It's all a private joke, and while others sit and scratch their heads as to who ate the cookies in the jar on the mantle to the left of the family photograph, they privately sit and think to themselves how delicious the chocolate chips were and how fun it is to watch other people wondering at the most obvious things that they want to know, but for some reason, cannot. These people, anonymous are the sort that talk about things you never knew they knew, and they must sit in the library all day, or never stopped going to school, for they will come out with arbitrary facts during the most innocent of conversations.
" I saw the most beautiful butterfly today."
" Butterflies are gorgeous, but they make me shudder when they are still caterpillars."
Here comes anonymous with:
" Hook-tip moth caterpillars defend their territories by drumming out warning. "
And the conversation endures a small lull as people turn to anonymous to think out this fact.
" Really? And how did you come by that?"
And anonymous thinks to themselves how their ignorance is cramping the conversation.
" I came by a book full of facts and I checked it up by going through: Kingdom: Animalia (Animals) Phylum: Mandibulata (Invertebrates) Class: Insecta (Insects)
Order: Lepidoptera, and just read it through."
Still a pause.
" I rather like insects."
and anonymous concludes that conversation by reaching for a chocolate drizzled biscotti to dip in their coffee.
And the conversation continues while the rest wonder how anonymous can work, take care of their home, cook, clean and still manage to read the Encyclopaedia Britannica before they go to bed each night.
Anyway, this post began as how it is comforting to know how some things in this world won't change. Usually this refers to happy feelings and content moments, such as your parents will always love you, your sister will always gaze up at you owlishly when you wake her up in the morning, and your elder brother will most likely always prop his elbows on your shoulders, purely because he is tall enough too.
These are all lovely feelings, but it is also nice to know, in a slightly frustrated way, that there will always be some things in this world that will perpetually prick at you.
It bothers me when:
I'm reading a book . . . and I have no bookmark.
I chirp at my birds . . . and they look at me as though THEY'VE never chirped in their life, thank-you-very-much.
My brother watches me put on my makeup in the mornings.
My dad refuses to tell me stories about his college days.
and finally
I make toast and when I go to fetch the butter . . . there isn't any.
Sometimes it's nice to know that there will always be things that annoy you make you remember that, wait, you shouldn't take all the lovely things for granted.
