Why are people so obsessed with drugs?
Hello there, live journal readers. I'm glad you all decided to visit me today. Tomorrow is the beginning of my second week of the summer routine, and I'm feeling pretty good about it, as I look back upon a fairly laid-back weekend. I won't go into it at the moment, though. Why, you ask? Well, because I am more interested in discussing concepts

Tomorrow is the beginning of my second week of the summer routine, and I'm feeling pretty good about it, as I look back upon a fairly laid-back weekend.
Funny how this was what your LJ said, yet your past two days away messages were screaming with hate and spite of the job. What changed?
Last summer was dominated by Autumn, Matt, Ruby, and Patterson--among several others who played significant 'supporting roles' whom I won't mention now.
I found the use of "supporting roles" humorously factual; it is always weird how one's activities tend to be dominated by a main cast and then a bunch of no-named people from whom depth of interaction or occurrence does not seem to come. That may have come out slightly different than I intended...
I will probably see more of Rich and Steve than I ever have,
Though you obviously meant in a leisure, friendship sense, it will be hard to best the amount of time in which we were "seeing each other" during Oklahoma! Like 6 god damned hours a day for 45 days we had.
He dissected and articulated the personalities of people he'd never met,
Do you mean this as in "prior to meeting them" or "upon meeting them and based upon first impressions"? I am not quite sure which of those I would be more impressed with, as both are astonishing.
In the earliest years of the 20th century, he predicted the beginning and end of world war II almost to a day. He also predicted the stock market crash and the great depression, among numerous other things.
Have you ever noticed that seers never predict happy things? Why is that?
Perhaps most intriguingly, he said that everyone had the potential to do what he did.
Crazy indeed. You surely must elaborate further upon this next time.

-My away messages weren't exactly screaming hate and spite. I prefer to think they showed reluctance/laziness. I could answer this to a greater length, but the bottom line is: I make my away messages in the morning, when I am grumpy. At the moment, I'm feeling fine about tomorrow, at least, and I always remember that I am grateful for how relatively pwning my job is.
-Yes, I was rather proud of myself for thinking to use "supporting roles" there. It seemed sickeningly appropriate, as you elaborated on.
-Cayce could tell intricate things about a person's personality without ever having met them. All he had to know was their name and where they physically were at the time he did the reading. People often wrote him letters, offering only a minimal amount of information and asking questions about the person's health or whatnot; he always replied. One time, an aunt wrote to him about her nephew's health. He was four years old, and up until that time had had no problems with speech development. Cayce did the reading, and predicted (from 900 miles away, never having met the boy), that he would develop a bad case of stuttering--which he did within a month, wholly unexpectedly. His life is rich with stories like this one.
-Sometimes, they do predict happy things, but these rarely receive as much attention as the destructive things. I would consider Cayce's predictions about how to cure the illnesses of thousands of people he'd never met (when he had absolutely no medical training) 'happy.'
I will elaborate more later.
