"She flies with her own wings" It's going on the inside of my class ring~ Which I'm ordering tomorrow~ And tomorrow is Halloween~ And I'll have double math homework and an essay to write over the weekend...+sigh+ Ah well.

Love or Lust The modern perception of love perplexes me. It seems that people are confusing love with lust, yet they are two very separate things. Lust, quite simply defined, “. ...can’t begin to compare. Real love is not just a sentiment, but is a condition of pure devotion that can be cultivated. That is love. .

Okay, so against my better judgement, I'm going to attempt NaNoWriMo this year.

Well, I hadn't intended to get all analytical on you again so soon, but the recent, ahem, unpleasantness in the fandom got me thinking. Some of the metatextual stuff that came up was dead interesting.... Or else that I'm too analytical for my own good, and need to get out more. Thanks for sitting through all of that. If you'd like to move to the lounge now, we'll be serving pina coladas
