Yeah you know the meaning and saying. Lets see where to start....

Rather sure I told of the kitty and bad news in that area...Grandmother I am staying with made me mad to the point I yelled and if you knew me you knew I don't yell. She got the rest of the kittens from outside and put them in the bathroom before I went to work. Well when I got off of work eight hours later she had put them out and now I can't find them.

she used the line of I could do what I want with them....yeah guess what. Out of six cats we can fine only 3 now...when I get my hands on them they are going to a store up the road.

My other half (names are withheld) got laid off for the first time so they are sad and broken up of it. They were almost two years at the job but was the newest in that area so yeah. Her work was laying 3 people off in each area and she got it. They are laying off a total of 30 or more people before June.

I got new hours and a new store...10 pm to 6 am...yeah just when I get use to 8 to 4 but I will be getting 40 or more hours I am told plus its a area where a lot of cops come to. Not as busy as the first one I am at but busy enough to keep me busy.

However I get a lot of perks and such with health care and what not. It will help.

Mizahar...it's been almost a year since I have been on the site and that makes me happy but also in two months the site will be a year old. Just thinking of all the threads and mile stones I have seen.

Heh Alistair makes me laugh and yeah random but writing this as I see chat.

Let see....

Yeah I think that sums it up I guess.

Next week is going to kill me but whats more is I won;t see my other half as much. Might bake some cookies or cupcakes.

I need to bake some bread and such for Mizahar's stuff.

I've been thinking awhile on one of the great mysteries of human nature- love. As my nerdy self, I try to find scientific explanations for such things. I have created a list of symptoms, causes, and yes, even prevention strategies. Alas, I cannot continue to hold my research when I come along things such as these. Here I have collected a collage, if you will, of quotes about my research topic. A few have personal meaning, a few brought tears to my eyes. If this doesn't make you want to fall in love, I don't know what will.

Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never.
-Charles Caleb Colton

Love is a friendship set to music.
-Joseph Campbell

You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.
-Yvaine, Stardust

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
- Mother Teresa

Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.
-David Bryne...

(written on Thursday, March 11th)

How can a single day be so happy? How can someone spend a week or more in a daze, a mixture of sadness, boredom and hopelessness and then suddenly jump from the bottom to the top of emotions? Anyway, it’s happened to me. Today.

Actually the day didn’t start out that good (failed the maths exam), but recently I’ve been taking delight in translating Latin and Greek texts more and more. It’s so exciting, the epic tales of Homer as well as the scientific descriptions, although it seems they’ll be about medicine for a while now. I’m perfectly fine with that though. It’s amazing what those ancient cultures already knew! It makes our culture pale in comparison, because although we have better technologies we haven’t come far ahead. It’s all thanks to the middle age ...

Anyway, I did Latin homework in the English lesson, because our teacher had been absent. Then I smiled about my Ancient Greek teacher’s incredibly inspiring interpretation of the Odyssey – it’s the part of Odysseus’ crew being enchanted and transformed into pigs by Kirke. He has pointed out that many elements of the whole Odyssey have symbolic character as well which means for the Kirke story ... men are pigs? At least those did behave like pigs – before being enchanted. Then I ice skated ... hadn’t been doing it for a while, because the location is only open at Sundays. Of course, they open for school classes during the week. The advantage was that we had more space for fewer people. It was heaven ... and a bit of hell at the same time, because it was cold and I wasn’t used to the following exhaustion anymore. I’ll definitely return this Sunday!

The best part of my Thursdays ALWAYS is the double psychology lesson with that incredibly funny and competent professor. I’d guess that she’s in her fifties, her hair is of a beautiful white I’ve never seen before, and when she wears skirts (which she often does) she seems to move like a dancer. Maybe it’s just my imagination, hehe. I...
