mynewplaceThere's a very cool new entry in Live Journal news - allowing paid members to edit their comments and send private messages are two of the best items I see.
I dreamed last night that my boss and his wife came back early from Italy, because his wife was fired. It was creepy. I hope it was from eating too much and worrying about getting Scarlett out of the house on time this morning, and not some sort of premonition. (Cause I DO have those. brr)
I heard Emo Philips say this morning on the radio:
"My wife came to me and said she'd lost the "tingle". I wasn't sure what a "tingle" was, but apparently it's approximately equal to a house."
"She called me after that and said she needed about $80,000 to make improvements to the outside of the house. She said she wanted to 'make it reflect more of her personality'. I asked her "Do you HAVE to use REAL gingerbread?"
"She gets more evil every day. I think she goes for evil lessons with the devil himself. I wonder how much he pays her."
I laughed muchly.
Despite the COMPLETE lack of money today a full week away from payday, I am content. My mother will help me with what few groceries I still need, I paid my electric and cable bills which were overdue, and I will get gas money from one account or another. No worries, eh?
My most recent friend here at the office brought me BROWNIES this morning! They are divine. She is very sweet, and we're going through some office trials together, all the while snarking and bitching behind our hands. It's nice to have someone to bitch to.
Apparently my effort in making a comment on popfiend's journal this morning was well received. I am being quoted in a couple of places, so I am going to repost my comment here, prefaced by this; I've taken this information from so many different places it's hard to remember them all. But these are things I've learned along my way. I'm very certain about the first sentences. I'm curious and unsure how things will play out after I die, although I tend to lean toward the generic Christian belief that I'll go to heaven, I'll see and BE with God in his and her/their full incarnation as well as Jesus, and most likely Mohammed and Buddha and Moses and Billy Graham and multitudinous hosts of others, but I do NOT believe heaven is the last place I'll be. There is no way that we humans will be confined to even such a glorious space, because we only currently use 10% of our brains and our minds will be expanded upon arrival to understand much more than we do now. We may achieve full enlightenment, but what use is enlightenment without exercise? I heard the last quote on the radio once and it hit me so hard I actually called the preacher I heard and asked where it came from. He couldn't tell me, he'd simply heard it somewhere. I believe it is something God had been trying to tell me for a long time. So I cling to it.
And here's the comment:
Happiness is a journey, along with misery and misfortune. Contentment is a resting place when you can find it, but often you have to move on even from such an idyllic spot. The human journey is constant schooling until you've passed your final test. Then you reach the reward you've earned. And maybe you start again, or go somewhere else. Or maybe you just rest on your laurels and spend the rest of whatever making merry.
"We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey."
Maybe I'll put it on my user page.

It rocketh muchly.
And thanks for your contributions to my LJ. They really do matter.
Also, I do believe you'll be a Top 10 commenter sooner rather than later.
