Six Word Sat ~ Patrick the Starfish' wisdom

My suitcase is full of rocks...

...and some people around me is speculating why. They never asked me, so I never explained either. The answer is so simple. I like it. I can carry it. And I have a reason for having it.When Squidward of Spongebob Squarepants asked Patrick the Starfish why his suitcase is full of rocks, Patrick retorted that he doesn't tell how Squidward should live his life! And he is so right!

Happy weekend everyone!

Monday Sound -- Having you Near Me (Air Supply)

I googled why a  "song/music/melody  is stuck to one's head" and several articles says that it is a  phenomenon called "earworm". It happens to me all the time. Research say that all of us are afflicted by this at one time or another.

So what's your earworm today?

Am I Caring and Cautious?

You Are Caring and Cautious

You are a responsible, likable person. You can be counted on to be consistent. You believe it's important to do the right thing in life. You are a loyal friend and family member. It's fairly easy for you to develop strong social and emotional bonds with others. You can be counted on. You are deeply ethical and the furthest thing from superficial. It bothers you when people are too flakey.

Friday 55 -- Little Jane

Why is Daddy screaming and mommy crying on the sink? What is it? What were they saying? The words are too garbled to hear.

Oh, I think Mommy saw me peeping by the bedroom door! Shhh…

I’m going to sleep so please, don’t make them look my way! They might see me and hurt me…

If you have something to tell in 55 words, or just want to check if others can do it, too -- go and tell the G-man that I sent you!

Silent Goodbye

Shel saw him sitting against their tree, looking toward the setting sun on the Masaraga Mountains.

“Hey!”, she called . Jay smiled and waved as he saw her walking towards him.

“Why so serious?”, as she grabbed and puffed on his cigarette.

“I think I need to go away again.”

Her hands shook a bit and felt her eyes wavering for a moment “How soon?”

“In a day or two,” He murmured.

She leaned on his shoulder as she felt his hands holding hers, both silent.

Finally he pulled her up and said, “We have till tomorrow, don’t we?” 

“Yes.”

I am Ethical and Generous

You Are Ethical and Generous

You are driven to be the best. You have sky high ambitions and standards. People may think that you are hard on them, but you are the hardest on yourself. You may be hard working, but you're not selfish. You work hard because you want the world to be a better place. You give until it hurts and then still keep giving. Very few people appreciate all that you do.

I am a Mystic

It's fun taking tests like these. It makes one think, is it true?

So.

I'm not really an island. I need a warm body beside me sometimes most of the time. It's good to know you have someone, don't you think?  But I don't depend my happiness on them. But .though I enjoy silence,especially in the mornings as much as  I love going out with friends, going to the beach, joyrides and such...

You Are a Mystic

You are an island. You don't need anyone else to make you happy. And though you see yourself as a loner, people are drawn to you. Deep and sensitive, you tend to impress others with your insights. You also tend to be psychic - so listen to that inner voice! Your strength: Your self sufficiency Your weakness: You despise authority Your power color: Maroon Your power symbol: Hammer Your power month: July

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

I am a Hedonist

Very well said!

You Are Hedonism

You believe in enjoying all of world's small and large pleasures. Life's too short to feel guilty. If it feels good, you do it. And you try to avoid pain at all costs, because pain is a major bummer. And while you enjoy the baser pleasures, like food and drinking - there's more to you than that. You find joy and delight wherever possible. You truly live well, and you're proud of that fact.

What's Your Ism?

Am I your Rebound Girl?

I sure hope not.Though sometimes it crosses my mind that I might be... 


See? Even now, my initial reaction is turn myself blind over the fact that you might be in rebound. But I know myself, I'm a very logical person.  I want to see things objectively, with reason, as I do not want to fall "madly", "blindly" in love with you or with anybody else. So I want to clinically pick the details of our circumstance.

So, are you?

I've been through this before, as the rebounder.I even posted about it in  The Art of Breaking Up .Rebounding is the worst one can do after a really bad break up, and I promised myself that I will not take that road again. Both can be lulled by the thrill, or rush of intense emotions, mistaking it for love or happily ever after. But it's not, really.

Let's take it slow, okay? I know you're still feeling a bit confused, and I promise I will be with you. But here are my grounds:

1. Do not take me granted. I will not allow it. Do not expect that I will take up where your ex left off.
2. Do not compare me. Whether good or bad, do not look for them in me. I'm a different person.
3. I'm always up for a good talk. Tell me what's on your mind. Compatibility is boring, a bit of disparity is always good.
4. Do not rush. Let's take our time knowing each other.

Don't be afraid. Sometimes something  good can come out of the bad. We have something good here, we just need straighten  out some emotional entanglements, clean the road we will walk on, so to speak...

The Hand Drawn Heart Test

I don't have anything witty to say today...but I can't keep my hands off my keyboard. I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I don't know why!

Anyway, I just hope that you, my dear readers, will have a great day!

You Have an Intense Heart

Your heart craves passion. You feel deeply and love an emotional rush. You let your heart guide you. You never regret leaping before look. If you fall, you just leap again. Your heart has been hurt more times than you can count, and you've broken many hearts in return. You understand that loss is a big part of love, and you think it's worth the risk. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Monday Sound -- Jesus Doesn't Want me for a SUNBEAM

By the Vaselines

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

Don't expect me to cry
For the all the reasons you have to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to die for thee.

 Kurt Cobain of Nirvana (R.I.P.) made a cover of this song during their MTV Unplugged in 1993. Though I like Nirvana's cover better because I felt that their acoustic concert was sort of a goodbye, for 5 months later Kurt ended his life, I wanted to share their favorite, The Vaselines.

Qoute of the Day

"To think is easy. To act is difficult. To act as one thinks is the most difficult."

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Safari

You Are a Tiger

You are an even tempered, controlled person. You assess situations carefully. You are aggressive, but you are never out of control. You pick and choose your battles. You are rational and calm. Even if something should effect you, you don't let it. You are cool and calculating. People can rely on you, as long as they don't cross you!
