Times of Change

The speaker (Winona LaDuke) last night was amazing. She and I are similar in many regards to perspective on the world, and through the entire thing, I wanted to get on my own soapbox and then, without saying a word, I'd grab any nearby people by the arms and explain things on the way to go do something. Some good quotations ( Read more... )

passion, observations, change, writing, nature, quotation, climate change, contemplations

I wasn't conufsed or annoyed; I find myself in a similar state of things often enough, feeling I have something big to say and just not knowing exactly how to proceed. That is when I want to rip out my soul and mind and brain and just hand it over for them to experience what I meant.

That is true about going back to school later--I know many people who are doing that, even my aunt. And universities love untraditional students. :) And you're right about psychology too. I'm unsure what sorts of careers are out there with it that wouldn't require more training (such as with social work, therapy, and the like), but I'm sure plenty exist. I can always write about psychology, heh. I used to want to be a vet myself. Maybew you should explore it a little more; there's a downside to every career, and in this one, there's a major benefit attached as well.

*nods* Parts of the future and being an adult are still a bit nerve-wracking for me. I would like to live on my own with a few others to help share rent, but good roommates are hard to find. (No, I don't mind; I could always screen them if I did.)

Any advice you ever give is gratefully accepted by this one. I may not always follow it even if it's good advice, unfortunately, for I am sometimes too stubborn for my own good. What you say is very mature and respectable. I feel our friendship is a true one where we can each be ourselves and still remain friends.

*smile* And you're exactly right with that last question/comment. Aw, I feel like giving you a *hug*

Darn this wind; it's disturbing the connection garowyn September 21 2006, 20:06:13 UTC
*grin*

Next thing you know, you'll be coming up with a different theory in psychology for a specific part, present it to the world, and pick up some cash along the way. ;) And then you'll be in textbooks! Yeah, I should think more about it. I do watch now and then on how some things are done for certain animals. When I was younger, I wanted to run a dog shelter and gather all the strays, abandoned, and abused, but that will cost a lot of time and effort, not to mention money and resources. Didn't realize those parts at that age. ^_^ Plus, they need exercise, room, and space to run around in, too.

Not only that, the prices and rents are rising, too, aren't they? Well, around here, homes are more expensive than before.

(I just thought of Kenshin while I read that first sentence of yours!) =) Thanks. I don't expect anyone to follow or run with whatever I give, anyway. Sometimes it may not always be the best choice depending on my inexperience or lack of wisdom.

*hug* Gee, you're making me all sentimental again!

Bit of rain here, but we lost the wind. *sniffles* aldecoary September 21 2006, 20:55:22 UTC
I always wanted to collect unwanted animals too! Such as all the ones that would be put down in an animal shelter. And I wanted to run a wildlife refuge, too. I wanted to do a bunch with animals. Study wolves, own horses...

Everything keeps going up and probably will continue to do so. Except the money we make on money in the bank. That income stays low, naturally. *has blanked out on what this is called*

(I thought of him while writing it, hehe.)

Some sentimentality is good. Not to have any is worse than too much, I think. But maybe that's because I'm a sentimental person...

That would be great! Go for a ride in the country, check up on the wolves. =)

No kidding. Everything will go up and they still won't pay us more. Just the hockey players. I can't remember the term for it, either -- it would explain why I did better with remembering facts on the World Wars and the Cold War than economic terms. ^_^

*smile* The lonely and depressed people could use a hug from us sentimental people.

Sounds wonderful. :)

Interest. Had to ask my little sister. And I think it's mostly basketball and football here. I hate that a lot.

*nods* They sure could. I always would try to remember them. "All the people forgotten..." sounds kind of like an oxymoron, but that's what I'd say...
