Another moment brought to you by Eharmony:




So recently, I gave into the temptation of going back and reactivating my account... (I know...I know... When are these crack addicts gonna learn?! *sigh* >_> Anyway...)

Originally, (and I mean this in the nicest way possible)... Eharmony was matching me up with all these women who reminded me of the movie 'Shallow Hal' or 'Mall Cop' ... *ehem* Just sayin...

So it was kind of like, "Thanks Eharmony, for showing me what a fickle and inconsistent hypocrite I am for putting too much stock into appearance."

Well, that was the first 2 to 3 experiences I had with the site...but then, this current and the last time, Eharmony decided to 'put the shoe on the other foot' by matching me up with all these women who are WWAAAYYY Out of my league (and mostly don't even give me the time of day...).

._. "Thanks, Eharmony...for showing me what a fickle and inconsistent hypocrite I am for putting too much stock into appearance."

So, moral of the story? I either need to hit up the gym everyday, get a doctorate degree, a successful career, adventurous and interesting hobbies, and become a larger than life person...OR...I apparently need to lower my standards....or both.



(It's just that I've met so many amazing and attractive women who are neither of those extremes! I know they're out there! I LITERALLY SEE THEM AROUND!!! Y-Y I just don't understand...)

I digress again.... I'm not trying to say I'm on the same level as those who have a lot less than me. I know there are even some who have nothing. I'm sorry if it seemed like that's what I meant. :(

I understand what you mean Zero. I think my Husband and I are like a lot of Americans right now. Not living over our what we can afford but still struggling. I try not to worry but when something breaks like a car it's very stressful. It seems we will be able to save a little then something happens and we have to start all over again. I wish we could save and keep it there.

And the Death Star destruction WAS an inside job. Who do you think leaked the plans so the Rebellion could find the weak point to blow it up?

This may seem a little morbid, but please don't think suicide, depression, or anything like that. I've just been wondering over the course of my life...the places I've been...the people I've known...the things I've been involved with or participated in...

Do you ever wonder if things would be any different without you?

I mean, there's the truth and reality that life just keeps going on regardless of you. Not in a way to make you feel insignificant or anything, but that's just the point! Am I significant? Whether it's this site, my job, my town, etc...would anyone even notice if I were gone? Would I be missed or thought of at all? Did my life count for anything...change anything...inspire anyone? Would I even be remembered, and would it matter if I was?

I think about things like that, and just wonder if anyone else does too....

Lots of people wonder that. That's why so many rich people become philanthropists - they reach the place the world says they should be striving to reach, then they realize money isn't all that important if you die without making any difference to anybody around you.

I would recommend watching "It's a Wonderful Life" but that's a really sappy movie. Read the synopsis of "It's a Wonderful Life" on Wikipedia. ^.^

And Lynx beat me to it. I was going to say something along the lines of when I feel like that I know it's time to watch it's a wonderful life. The other thought I had was something about we never know how much impact a small kindness at the right time has. It's very difficult to measure the effects of an average life because an interaction that means almost nothing to you may have meant the world to someone else. So you do the good you can and you remember that God thought he wanted you to exist so he made you and since he's God he kind of gets to be always right about such things.

We are as insignificant as grass. Like a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow. Yet we live as if we are not going to die. Life is so short and you will soon be forgotten unless you leave a legacy like great and famous people but what for? They will not live to see it anyway. The road to greatness is following the narrow path. Living the best life that God wants for us. Your faith should become your legacy.

I've been thinking about something tangential to this topic. Maybe I'll post a thread when I'm off work.

I don't want to go out of my house... out of my room... away from laptop... and away from my bed.

I don't want to go to work and interact with people.

I like to learn... But I'm... tired of interacting with people.

No. You're just hurt and still recovering. It's okay to feel this way. You just need to let it go. Let it goooo.... Let it goooooo...

...

Sorry. You know how we are. Music man... Music.

You know... people are going to start to wonder about me if I interact with you,

So...?

So, the last thing I want is people thinking I'm crazy, you know? It's bad enough I bring forth a naturally weird vibe. We were told to blend in and observe the human species.

We are not diverting from our original mission. We are simply adapting to the feelings and emotions that come with this form. Now... I didn't ask to be joined with you. If we had a choice... I would have gone with a more of a co-

Shh! You shut up. It's "Breakfast time."

Do you have MPD? How many personalities do you have? The more the merrier. :)

You can talk to me. I won't think you're crazy. xD

The answer is no. The downside of them is it jacks your heel up and gives you a really awkward stride. The upside is... well... ain't none.

Isn't it the gravitational fields you need to worry about? That is unless you're tooling around out space in plate steel armor or some other ferrous metal.

But I do love it when people get all scientific on inspirational sayings.
Gravity is magnetic. Even you have a magnetic field around you, however small and insignificant you may think it is. Anything with mass, has a gravitational pull. Some people are more magnetic, or gravitational than others. There is also a kind of electrical field in humans. That's why some people can't wear digital watches. I have a cousin who could put out street lights if he was in a certain mood, in a few places. There's another guy who would make your Bluetooth headset freak out if he walked by you. My sister has a strong enough electric field or whatever you want to call it, that she has shorted out almost every phone, iPod, MP3 player, and laptop she's ever owned.
Yes, you can be magnetically pulled through space. That's the point I was trying to make.
People are weird and astounding machines that defy all laws of mechanics. God did an awesome job! I was just telling my husband the other day, that I'm a 4D printer. What I make, has a conscience, learns, grows, etc. I'm pretty freaking awesome. Along with every other mother, obviously.

I'be been holding a bottle of rescue remedy all day, wondering if I need it, or if I'm just imagining stuff. If I really think about it, today has been a lot better than the rest of the week. The processed sugar hasn't kicked in, I think.
Maybe just holding the bottle, and thinking about using it, is helping me, just because I'm wondering if I'm being irrational, or if I really need it. It's making me think of my motives for being emotional. I think I'll just hang on to this, and find out.
I'm definitely going to need it, if my daughter asks to do her school today. I'm not in the mood to do school... like... ever.

When I was young my friends used to always say that money can't buy you happiness... That the important things in life are having friends and enjoying life...

Now that I'm older I realize how incredibly wrong they were... Because here I am with no money, no friends and no life. :p
No friends?? What am I? I don't know who I am anymore :p

If gravity had anything to do with magnetism, electromagnets would get much heavier when you flip the switch.

So I ask this somewhat jokingly, but also seriously: If you see them around, why do you need eHarmony? :p

I've kind of come to the realization that while God has blessed me with companionship on some level in this season of life, I'm going to have to soak up those moments in preparation for needing to go it alone a lot of the time. I always wish for more of a constant companionship like I had in college. I always had people I could go hang out with whenever I wanted to. Now I just don't have that. I don't really have any close friends nearby. I keep feeling like if I just had someone to do some of these hard things in life with, it would make it easier, but at some point I need to be able to go it alone and become the person that I know I should be rather than depending on someone else's influence to do that. It would honestly be a lot easier to catch someone else's passion than to motivate myself, but then I'm just allowing myself to shapeshift into the other person, and not grow into who I am.

Also, there are so many people who are so much worse off than I am. All things considered, I have it good.
