The Nihilarian Speaks

I cannot even believe how harmonically intune my life is to the universe. Forgive me for however prententious or obvious or even nonsensical that sounds; I happen to pay attention to more things than it's worth. And isn't it kind of silly that experiences people "clue you in on" are often much different than forewarned? But, wouldn't life be less of an adventure if you knew exactly what to expect, and where it's going to strike? Despite my slight eremiticism I enjoy spontaneity (and knowing how to spell it :D).

I'm so strange.

I've never died my hair; never left the continent; I've eaten a yogurt covered cricket; I have a strange affinity for stuffed animals; I love narwhals; I have a comic book collection; I will own all 20 of the care bears comics; I read more often than anyone probably should; I buy a bunch of fabric and tend to never use it; I've really only swam in one ocean, I'll let you guess which; (insert some more only halfway interesting things about me here) and I'm very good at guessing things.

"The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead. To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of the life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget." - Arundhati Roy

I like the way you think. I've had the same thoughts. And I like the quote.
