1. 20 minutes late to work, and
2. Finding out the cat puked on your bed sometime during the night

:( I don't think I have enough quarters to do laundry.

Warming your feet on blacktop before swishing through lush green grass then going through mid-calf-deep dead leaves before walking through ankle-deep moss when going barefoot while hiking in the woods to climb a hill to read a book while taking lunch sitting on moss in the sun.



Things There Are Many Things Better Than:

Not actually having a lunch to eat.

ANTS >:(

 
1) I fucking hate emiweebee. WHY. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GET ME HOOKED ON BLEACH. I WILL NEVER GET ANYTHING DONE NOW.

2) Nothing lasts forever. Nothing. And you know what? While that's not okay, per se, it's something you have to live with, and something you have to expect. Two years is a goodly length of time. Two weeks is a goodly length of time. It all ends.

3) I can see people getting naked across the courtyard from me. Kinda cute, too.

4) Hahahahahaha Ichigo's sword is HUGE. Hahahahahaha

5) Bodhrán lessons in two hours or so. Glee!

6) I have two job interviews scheduled, and I'm insanely nervous for both of them. One, I actually really want to get. The other, I'm ambivalent about, but whatever.

7) Hitting your alarmclock does not turn off your cellphone's alarm. Not that I would know.

8) That Roland understands is what makes it so painfully sad. Sometimes, knowing a person accepts what you're doing to them is even worse than if they were kicking and screaming all the way. I suppose it's the resignation.

9) I can predict with startling accuracy what lines will stay with me forever. The most recent one has been:

"If you can't run, you crawl. And if you can't do that... if you can't do that, you find someone to carry you."

The first non-Tolkein one was:

"For ever and ever, we say when we are young, or in our prayers. Twice, we say it. Old One, do we not? For ever and ever ... so that a thing may be for ever, a life or a love or a quest, and yet begin again, and be for ever just as before. And any ending that may seem to come is not truly an ending, but an illusion. For Time does not die, Time has neither beginning nor end, and so nothing can end or die that has once had a place in Time."

I'll admit, that I was a lazy arse and didn't want to type up that last one, so I opened my ebook copy and C&P'ed it. It's kind of funny; I always attribute that particular passage to Merriman and put it in The Dark is Rising (possibly since I've read my copy so many times it's literally falling apart; none of the pages are glued to the binding anymore, and 90% of them aren't even connected to each other). But it's really Gwion saying it in Silver on the Tree. Funny how a mind works, yeah?

10) I am so tired.
