(no subject)
So I spent a good time last night reading my wife's live journal account. It wasn't wrong, I promise! I was just reading all her old posts that were PUBLIC. I thought it was so nice to have a record like that. I am going to try and be more productive with this, I think. I mean sometimes when I read my posts in high school (which hasn't happened in...years, really), I tend to squirm in my seat at how I talked. But! I am mostly the same.
I love anime. I am a liberal. And Ralph Nader is still my hero.
Though what has really changed is well...no. I don't think we really change! I think we discover more and more about ourselves. After all, I never believed in love before. And now? I am completely in love. I can't even imagine my life without Bekah now. And I don't want to. :-) She is my everything.
I don't mean to upset anyone! lol when I used to read those posts on my friends' pages, I just to glare in angry. But It was just jealousy, I guess. I think? I don't know. Now that I am in love, I wish everyone the same. It's weird how that works, huh?
Anyway! I have a vow this year! BE BETTER with this. I want to see what my friends are doing! I want to tell you about Bekah's and my life. I mean, does everyone know that she got to see Disney this year for the first time? That we have a pregnant guinea pig! Who, by the way, is so big. I worry so much about her. We love our babies so much, you know.
I want to know about you all too! I don't want to lose people over the passage of time. Though they say that great friends are ones that can just pick up and talk no matter how long it's been since they last see each other...I still miss everyone. Bekah and I tend to lock ourselves away, and we don't mean it. Sometimes. We just work about 50 hours a week a piece so when we have time off? We want to spend it watching movies and being together. (which usually is running errands. God being an adult sucks.)
I miss you all. We should have an old gang meet up!
I want to end with a quote that I heard in a movie recently. Through out my life, I am often really impacted by stories/quotes/pictures. They help me change my outlook on life or change my actions, path, etc. One I really remember was this story about this girl who had the power to change her appearance to anything she wanted. She was a normal looking girl by nature so, of course, used the power to turn herself beautiful. However, long story short, she sees a fire-victim. They had this severely burn all over their face and body. At the moment, the girl with the power realized how lucky she was and how others would kill for what she had naturally. She vowed to stop using her power to make herself look any prettier. That story really helped me. Anyone that met me before college, junior year, would know I had very low self-esteem. I could not look in the mirror without saying ugly. But after that story, it makes me realize how lucky I am. I can walk. I can see. I'm not obese. I'm ..normal. I am happy for it.
Wow. What a tangent.
ANYWAY, my movie quote goes somewhere on the lines of this: "What would you do tomorrow if you knew you couldn't fail? ...Now go out and do it." It really stuck me. What would I do if I knew I couldn't fail? I guess I like to play the lottery but..shit. I could not think of the answer to that question. I still can't.
I suppose if I have my family (bekah and my animals), I be so content.
