Here is a word I don't hear a bunch. Lamp, or candle, you still hear those a lot in 2010. Lantern? First thing that comes to mind is someone on horseback, riding through some colonial town. And I imagine one breaking, and setting the land on fire. Depressing, huh?
Women are pretty good at making sandwiches. Does that sound sexist? Maybe it wouldn't if I told you I'm a woman myself. Girls always get up in arms about it--'Men can make their own sandwiches, I'm not a slave?' And I say...'Well, men aren't that good at making sandwiches. That's why they need us so much.'
I've never flown a kite. I realized that when I was watching 'America's Funniest Home Videos' the other night, and I saw a kid get smacked square in the face with one. I said to myself 'How--Even before Video Games and computers--was that at ALL enjoyable? It looks like hard work to me.'
I don't like when balloons pop. It's sad. I mean, I know the balloon isn't alive. It can't feel pain or anything. But it's like a stupid meaning to me, of life. Everything ends. The balloon is, for some reason, a childhood symbol. And when it pops, does that mean that we have to grow up?
I usually have a pretty quick reflex to pain. I don't have a high tolerance. Yet, do you ever get a toothache? When you press on the tooth, it's like it hurts more, yet feels strangely better. I wonder, does that make me--and everyone else who does it--a masochist? God has a strange sense of humor.
I don't know if it was destiny, or a quick decision which was brought on by the fact that I may never see him again. When our lips touched, he froze--and I knew it had been a mistake. Then again, maybe meeting him had been a mistake. God's mistake. After all, he brought us together. Maybe he can be at fault.
I don't really understand the meaning of love. I mean, I'm in love, I know I am. Is love something that permeates every moment of your life? When I see an airplane, I think of him. Anything makes me think of him. Is that love? Or infatuation? I'm afraid it's the latter, I don't want it to be.
