"That's not a euphemism." "Yes, it is."
un:Too many of my AIM conversations just fade away. Too often these days the conversation never really finishes. It just slides away. There's no closing to them. And I hate that. It's just as much my fault as the person I'm conversing with I suppose, but I just hate watching it. The space between IMs just grows and grows until eventually they stop completely. You close the box and an hour later or longer you may notice that they've signed off or put up an away. This is nothing new really, but now I feel like it's becoming all the more frequent. It's so sad.
In contrast, I really love it when someone has to get away but keeps talking to you for so long that when they're done they almost instantaneously sign off or put up an away message. As though it took all their might to cut loose from you and they just had to get away that moment or they'd talk to you forever. My best conversations always seem to come at the most inopportune times, but I don't think I'd have it any other way. Self-sacrifice is the ultimate sign of affection. A wise man once said that. Haha.
due:I can't bring myself to watch my new Netflix movies at the moment. I don't really want to watch anything new at all. So I reverted to my old favorites (As Good As it Gets, Great Expectations, Chasing Amy, Igby Goes Down, Sabrina) and have been watching them pretty much every night. But the meaning I found in all of them seems to have faded (at least slighty in all cases, but sometimes more) and watching them almost feels forced. I looked for my comfort in them, but I couldn't find it. I wonder if that's because I've gained some new perspective or because I'm just sick of the cycle. Maybe that's the same thing. But it's not like anything new appeals to me either. To quote one of those favorites of mine, "what if this is as good as it gets?"
tre:I've broken every watch I've ever had. Leigh was kind enough to give me my current one and it lasted longer than any other I've ever known, but in the end I still managed to break it. It stopped working months ago, but I think I'll keep wearing it anyway.

Word of the Moment:Disarming
Movie Quote of the Moment:Dan: You think love is simple. You think the heart is like a diagram.

Song Lyrics of the Moment:But now we speak with ruined tongues / And the words we say aren’t meant for anyone / It’s just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance / But there was once you
