It's about 9:00 on a Friday night, but I need some alone/ down time right now.

Life seems to slip by me so fast. Weeks go by like nothing, things that seemed to be an eternity away creep up on me, and in between the cycles I sometimes miss things.

To feel truly understood is indescribable.

To be with someone who is like you in so many ways, yet different enough . . .

Sometimes, your gut just says that something is good, and you can't help but think that you're pretty damn lucky.

Today I had a thought that disturbed me.

Maybe I should have gone towards a degree that would allow me to get a Master's in entomology.

It's on a totally different plane than what I'm doing now, but that fire that I have when I'm around insects has never burned out.

Everything really does happen for a reason. Maybe that's a construction that we, as humans, have made to make sense of things.

Nevertheless, when I really look at things in my life, the above has held true.

Do you ever look back on something that you weren't sure about, and realize that you knew how you REALLY felt all along?

For my social policy class, I have to choose a topic (EX: abstinence only education) and propose a policy change. We then do a mock legislative hearing.

I'm thinking of global warming, and proposing that greenhouse gas emission caps be introduced ala California. Be it at the state or federal level, I don't know.
