Quotes:
"In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find someone who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your (well you know...). That's the kind of person worth sticking with."

Have I mentioned that I love Flight Of The Conchords? I think I must've at some point. They're wonderful.
This is a clip from one of the episode from the first season. (I'm still awaiting the second season, which I've placed on hold at the library.) Bret only dances when he's angry...I wish I danced like that when I was angry. Can you imagine the random moments?
-Starlight-
Last nights meteor shower was good... but I apparently missed most of it. I listened to the internet and watched starting around three am. There were a few really pretty shooting stars, but that was all I saw. My friend K. who lives just a few blocks away said he went out around one and saw a bunch of big ones... so I guess I was too late for anything extraordinary. The constellations were magnificent though. Everything was so bright and brilliant, which is a rarity in phx due to all the dust and pollution. You could clearly see Mars, Venus, and all of Orion, and part of Orion's Nebula, my favorite constellation and nebula. Soon I'd like to go out with the telescope and look into deeper space. It's just too gorgeous.
I have a love/hate relationship with outerspace. I marvel at it's brilliance and crave learning more and more about it, but am terrified of ever actually going into space. When I was younger I sort of wanted to be an astronaut, but then I slowly developed this fear that if I ever was up there I'd run out of air, or crash the shuttle, or get sucked into a black hole. haha. I've deduced since then that I'm probably safer and happier gazing at it's wonder from down hereon Earth. Where we have plenty of oxygen, gravity, and no black holes. I think that even if it's only as an added class or elective I'd really like to study astronomy in college... it's just amazing up there, and I think we should do all we can to learn about and explore this beautiful universe, this amazing creation outside of ourselves. You'd be right in assuming that I'm not too happy about president Obama pulling N.A.S.A.'s funding... oh well.
In a shorts and t-shirt mood. It's not too hot here right now, but it's not really cool enough to be wearing pants everyday either...

What's bittersweet to you?
Probably wrote this... almost a year ago maybe? A random philosophical scribble written in the wee hours of the morning:
"I think that in most cases things that almost happened are much more memorable than things that have happened. Possibly part of that may be because we try to keep those things in our minds and memories not wanting to forget. Whereas, when something memorable has happened we assume we won't forget it, and in most cases eventually do forget. This is why I treasure almosts. This is why it saddens me when I see people I don't know, and we make eye contact, or have a short discussion about something mundane. Because, what if this could end up one of the almosts, an almost almost. Relationships you'll never have with people you'll never formally meet. It's sad. What if you have a lot in common? Read the same short stories and appreciate them for the same reasons, or stay up 'til two am jotting down your thoughts. What if in some parallel dimension you meet this person and develop a relationship... does that somehow passover into this dimension? And is that what makes the smiles so meaningful?"

8 Notes.From.Fancy.People:
I totally forgot about the meteor shower, as I knew I would. I was awake till 9AM yesterday, too. -__- I'm going to have to brainstorm ways to beat this insomnia beast.
I love images of space, like the Abell galaxy cluster. I find the idea that we're all so small and insignificant reassuring and almost endearing, somehow.
As to the last notebook entry you posted - I've felt like that a lot. It makes me remember times, like last semester, when I've come across people I likely could have befriended, but - me being me - I never extended myself in any way. There was a really nice girl in my class who was like my blonde twin - we dressed the same, talked the same, even slouched in our chairs the same way. She'd smile at me from across the room and I'd smile back, but we never had a conversation. What a disappointment it would have been if I'd gotten to know her, only to find we don't get along, lol.
I get almost giddy reading your blog... There's something about your writing and your polyvores and everything that just makes me feel light. I'm so sad I missed the meteor shower tho... Almosts are a favorite of mine too, but they can sometimes make me feel like I'm lost of missing something.
I really love the format of your posts, and it inspires me... I love your Polyvore sets! :)
Coooool, meteor showers!
Wow, the meteor shower sounds so amazing. I have never really seen the sky full of stars. Living in inner London means I see a grand total of 5 stars from my window and about 6 planes at any one time. I have always just wanted to drive out into the middle of nowhere and just lie down and look up at the stars.
I am loving the look of that second Polyvore set, and yay for Flight of the Conchords! And I know what you mean, we spend too much time thinking of what could have happened, we forget to see how amazing the things that did happen were. I always end up remembering the littlest of details and they always make me smile.
Hope you're having a beautiful weekend :)
reading comic books is sexy!

Juno=best quotes and soundtrack.
I love you late night musings. Vey insightful my dear.
I never know when any cool things like eclipses or meteor showers are happening. I should know though because I am missing out on some amazing sights!
i can totally relate to the paragraph you wrote at the end of this post.
i was just thinking the other day about how many beautiful people there are in this world that i will never meet. so many wonderful and amazing and fascinating people there are out there, who i dont even know exist. quite frankly, it frightens me. it's like a race for me, to meet as many beautiful people as i can, and learn as much as i can from them, before i'm dead and gone.
i really loved that paragraph. i really really did.
