1. I forgot how to write.
2. I also forgot how to have interesting thoughts. Although I have been thinking about God a lot. And God is interesting. So I suppose I did not really forget how to have interesting thoughts. Especially in recent times now that I am used to this season.
3. Being still and waiting is something that I feel is difficult for me to do and difficult for our culture to handle in general, but it is something God tells me to do quite often.
4. If someone had an octopus arm for a tentacle it would be very cool. Also, this idea of animal parts for limbs would make the world quite a bit more diverse. Although, we are already having enough trouble dealing with the diversity that is present. I wonder if at some time people will be so diverse, that it will start having the opposite effect. Maybe one day, since different cultures are starting to mix and different-looking people are starting to come together, the world will evolve into one look that would be a blend of everyone. This will not happen for a very very long time. But red-heads are expected to be extinct in approximately 50 years. (Not the living ones, of course, because they won't just die as a result of their red-headed-ness. I am referring to the fact that red-heads will not longer be born because that recessive gene will have worked its way out of this world.) I think this change will bring us one step closer to that sameness.
5. avocation: something a person does in addition to a principal occupation
vocation: a divine call to God's service or to the Christian life.
6. I am feeling very good about having lived without my macbook for 5 weeks. At lease I know that in this generation, I can live without things I am expected to cling to and be okay. I can't say that I don't care to have a computer anymore or that I am not looking forward to repairing my computer. I am simply thankful for this test.
7. Sleep is a necessary element in life. Without a proper amount of sleep, I dream less. And I have come to miss my dreams, although I have had two interesting dreams lately that I have been able to ponder over, laugh about, and share. But after Tuesday-Wednesday, during which time I got zero hours of sleep and than Wednesday-Thursday, during which time I got 13 hours of sleep, I have learned schedules are important to maintain. But I am not sad to have learned that way, although my body was quite confused.
8. Is there really something wrong with being a cat lady?
9.
http://www.thedailynice.com/site.html This is a neat website that shows a different photograph each day. Kind of like
http://www.foundmagazine.com/. Today's find of the day (10/16) says "hello tacos" and has a picture of a cat and a smiling sun with sharp teeth. It is pretty awesome.
10. I may begin writing in a blog, which I will try to update regularly. However, I am making no promises, as my latest blog was a miserable failure. In any case, should I create a blog that lasts more than 2 entries, I will put the web address on this livejournal. However, I am wondering if perhaps I should just keep up with this as it has been in existence for many years now and has recorded a beautiful growth in my life. But blogs such as blogger, blogspot, or wordpress just seem more fitting for this time.
11. I just lost the game. I have been losing a lot lately.
