I've noticed...
fuzzychicklets:
…that, usually, when confronted with the question of “If today was your last day, what would you do?”, people respond with:
“I’d confess my love to such-and-such person.”
or something along those lines.
Why not do it now? Or at least, don’t wait passively, pursue him/her passionately :P

About this project...
loveyourchaos:
Meme (pronounced meem)
Definition: in blogspeak, an idea that is spread from blog to blog
…this idea came from LiveJournal for me and I brought it over here :)
Basically its my 365 project where no matter how good or bad the day I need to think of one thing that I was/am happy about… no matter how small.
I ask people to tell me what made them happy so I (and others) can look...
thank you
… space heater for keeping me warm.
this may have been the best purchase of the night…and i feel like that’s saying a lot compared to what the space heater’s competing with.

Paper Boats
“as the express train passes the local
moves by just like a paper boat
although it weighs a million pounds
i swear it almost seems to float
and as we pass by eachother
our heads all full of bother
we can’t look
we can’t stop
we can’t think
we can’t stop
cause we’re stuck in our own paths
and it’s the way it always lasts
and i need something...
skank
I get word of the day via emails, and this is the new thing that i learned today.
Skank, v.: orig. Caribbean [skank n., skanking , skanker n.]
to throw (a person) over one’s shoulder.
to perform a freestle dance to reggae music (cf. skanking n.) to sashay, strut
“The dancer, according to his mood, can rock slowly to the bass, or go all out and skank to the drums.”
