We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars

Mmm.
I had a wonderful time last night : 
baking cupcakes and watching the Lord of the Rings.
(I've given up pretending I maintain a social life.)
Also, I'm reading Til We Have Faces again,
because it is so good, and because reading it
reminds me of eating a hot fudgy brownie -
it's that satisfying.  I highly recommend it.


There are people I wish I knew better.  I could make a list.
I wish I could just stop them one day and say,
"Let's be friends," and then we'd be friends.
But we can't really do that.
We used to, way back when.
Circa kindergarten.
Then we started judging people based on
clothing, music, intelliegence, interests,
we began dividing into social groups,
and we became afraid of rejection
and we learned that you just can't be friends
without some common bond.
I guess that's true.
But I still wish I could know some people better than I do.


This society kills me.  I want to get away.
Life is so comfortable.
You can hardly call it life.
"Existing" maybe, but not really "living."
I'm not complaining.
I'd just like to live somewhere
where there wasn't all this noise.
Where people weren't so sarcastic.
Where beauty was appriciated,
and not exploited.


But that's just me being selfish.
I'm so incredibly egocentric.
It's a huge fault.
One of many.
I know that God is great,
because only someone much higher than man
could know everything about me
and still love me and want me with Him.

It's funny.
Sometimes I'm serious on here
and sometime's I'm completly shallow.
But I guess that's just how I am.


Next time will probably be fluff.


Till then.

Yeah, sometimes I just want to walk up to people I just kinda know and be like, "Hey, why don't we try getting to know each other better?" But like you said, we're not in kindergarten anymore. Sadness.
