tabular_rasaCenter Court Hawaiian Night was awesome! I had this Hawaiian seafood chowder thing which was just DELICIOUS, full of mussels and fish and stuff, and reminded me of Olive Garden (Hawaii AND Olive Garden, Nichole and Kristina, you would have had an orgasm, lol . . . ). There were ribs, too, and NOT just for the Kosher Line people, lol . . . and this really YUMMY bread that was yellow and very vaguely pasty but OH SO GOOD.
Neil got his Hogwarts letter ^_^ He knew it was me, but he still liked it, nonetheless, lol-- and his favorite part was the "Happy Birthday, You Slytherin, You!" that I wrote, lol-- I bring him his presents next week.
Mom's birthday is tomorrow. She's lived half a century. Maybe I'm not supposed to say that O.o but it sounds cool and it's cool to think about . . .
Why do people have such a problem with being a half of a century old, but not a century old? A half-century is quite worthy enough as it is, you know . . . and I will celebrate my quarter-of-a-century (even though that involves four), just as I celebrated my tenth-of-a-century-and-two-whole-hands.
O.o I can still count my age on my hands and feet! I'm young!
^_^ Ahh, to be joyful. See, I told you, Lisa, that it works.
Pessimism on the little things, so one is always content, as situations either meet the expectations or surpass them, never disappointing.
Optimism on the big things, like the nature of humankind and the strength of character of all-- things that are inherent within real, rational, functioning human people, not situations, which have no thought processes and therefore cannot be "trusted" to make "rational" decisions.
Being happy for the things that are just happy, and embracing them for the time that they are there, and then remembering them fondly. I'm getting better at living in the moment.
I've decided that I might not mind being a Buddhist after all-- though I'd be about as close to a perfect Buddhist as I am close to a perfect Christian: not very. I'm too . . . non-conforming? I suppose there's some denomination out there of something that I might fit perfectly, but, well, I prefer to be against the authority when it comes to that, questioning, and so I wouldn't fit after all, because I wouldn't WANT to fit.
Edit (11:26 pm): So I definitely got distracted for several hours helping Patricia move her room, and Tiffany had her chance to yell at Keith. Lisa's cloak came today, so all is well with the world ^_^
Now Carol has turned off the light and I, like a parrot, cannot really do much anymore.
Ahh well . . . tonight was fun ^_^
APOLOGIES TO ANYONE WHO IMED ME WHILE I WAS NOT-AWAY AWAY . . . I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT PUTTING UP MY AWAY MESSAGE!!! (IE: MICHAEL :-P)
OMG guys. 23 1/2 hours, and then we see what rubble the fourth Harry Potter book has been reduced to :-P
