It was a pretty awesome first plane trip to travel to Europe.

Photography and editing - I love taking photos, but I get more misses than hits and would love to just take amazing photos 90% of the time at least.

Needs breaks every few hours
If stuck in the car for extremely long stretches of time I tend to get a little wacky and stir-crazy and down-right annoying. I have to get out to walk around and stretch every few hours to maintain my sanity.

Must have tunes!
Music is soooo important for a good road trip - preferably mix cds made especially for the trip.

I think it would probably be categorized as a dramedy - leaning more towards comedy - one of those strange ones you come across on the Indie channel - not always good, not always interesting, but with some very good moments in between.

Books - any and all kinds - new as well as used and of course a little antique section.

I like the way it sounds and I think it suits me.

Phantasmagoria
It's fun

Splendiferous
Another fun and happy word

cheesecake
It's magical and delicious

For some reason it just doesn't get old - not for me anyway. It's one of my favorite weekend movies.

I like that they can take care of themselves and be independent, yet I love snuggling and there is no more relaxing sound than that of a purr. There are so many characteristics that I love about cats.

For a year we only had an antenna and every Saturday morning you could cound on the Magic Bullet infomercial. It's actually pretty awesome and I use it all the time, plus, how can you not love the name? :p

Magic Bullet!

Ha ha, I totally have a Magic Bullet.

After wandering around a dilapidated carnival full of roller coasters and spinning tea cups, leering carnies, and greasy food I finally decided to fly away and begin anew.

I think she's got problems like anyone else and it would be hard to deal with any problem when you're under the spotlight and have so many people judging you and watching you.

Another year away from the rest of the world might not be a bad idea - especially if I'm getting along with the other person and we have plenty of food and whatnot. Why not stay longer?

Oooh - I have so many things I need to get done, so I would probably use it to be a busy bee - make phone calls, clean my office, and then use the rest of the time to relax - I'm exhausted!

Communication
You have to talk about everything - without good communication - good luck.

Honesty
Do I really need to explain why?

Laughter

I've been feeling rather invisible lately.  It seems like a weekly occurance to go out to my car and now find a new ding or otherwise from someone hitting my car.  There's some lovely white paint on my rear bumper that I found the other day.  You know, up until we moved here... my car had never been hit or anything, then within a month of moving to MN... bam.  Then there is being seen by a person one minute only to have them come back later and be surprised to see you, having them say, "Oh, I didn't realize you were here."  Trying to get a simple answer also seems to be difficult this morning.  All I asked was one specific thing and I'm sitting there while they're going around and around (not really even talking to me) and I just wanted to wave my hand after repeating myself for the third time and say, "Hello?  Can you hear me?  Are you even listening to what I'm asking?  All I want to know is what company this is for.  That's all.  Nothing more.  I know where and how to file it beyond that, but I just want to know one simple thing, what company?  A two second answer took about five minutes and part of me wanted to laugh and just walk away and do whatever and they probably wouldn't have noticed at that point anyway.  Ha ha - Update - I'm not even on the company organizational chart.  Awesome.  There are people who just started who are on it, but not me.

It probably sounds melodramatic, but this happens fairly regularly... people just don't really see me.  I'm apparently very transparent, which is good in some ways, but frustrating in others and I don't know how to change it.  It seems I have this enormous bubble around me, and I'm sure I've managed to put it there myself, but now how to get rid of it and become the person I would like to be? I don't want to be meek and shy and mousy and frumpy.  I have taste and style and can be fun when you get to know me, but I admit that isn't easy to do, because I am shy and feel socially awkward when it comes to making friends.  Right now I feel so out of place in my own body at times... I feel frumpy and gawky and like that horribly awkward girl standing in the corner of the room who people sadly whisper about.  I want to be that vivacious girl with the infectious laugh and smile who is confident and care-free and not afraid to be herself.  I know, it's my choice, right?  Why is it so damn hard to change oneself?
