Chocolate over a long period of time can be addicting, yes. Thus my random lack of energy this past weekend or so. Happened to have a peppermint patty at work today, and now I'm all hyper.
Must stop with the chocolate for at least long enough to not require it to be up! Crappy chocolate, even, because it's free at work (although I somehow doubt it was the crappy chocolate that caused it).
I used to not think I ever got angry. Indeed, perhaps I _didn't_ - it seems to at least partly relate to knowing myself well, and to having a good enough sense of what is important to me that I think things are reasonable to get angry over. But now I know I can get angry (fairly rarely), with appropriate stimulus, and it's _OK_. And I can feel, release, and get beyond grief. I'm not quite to the point of being able to let myself cry when I need to (at least, not without a lot of effort), but I have hope there, too. It's interesting being able to experience a full range of emotion...
I'm finally getting around to ripping my CDs to disk. It's taken me at least 7 months to do it, after my last hard drive died on me.
I appear to have Sarah McLachlan's "Possession" in my head, combining quite strangely with "Fumbling Toward Ecstasy".
I was unable to find lyrics online for either of those, so they will be behind the following cut tag.
"Possession"
Listen to the wind blowing from across the great divide.
Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time.
The night is my companion, and solitude my guide.
Would I spend forever here, and not be satisfied?
[Chorus]
And I would be the one to hold you down,
kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away.
And after I'd wipe away the tears, just close your eyes, dear.
Through the world I've stumbled, so many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved
You speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhyme.
My body aches to breath your breath, your words keep me alive.
[Chorus]
Into this night I wander, it's morning that I dread
Another day of knowing of the path I fear to tread.
Oh, into the sea of waking dreams, I follow without pride.
Nothing stands between us here, and I won't be denined.
[Chorus]
"Fumbling Toward Ecstasy"
All the fear has left me now, I'm not frightened anymore
It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
It's my mouth that pushes out this breath
[Chorus]
And if I shed a tear, I won't cage it. I won't fear love.
And if I feel a rage, I won't deny it. I won't fear love.
Companion to our demons they will dance and we will play
With chairs, candles, and cloths making darkness in the day
It will be easy to look in or out upstream or down without a thought
[Chorus]
Peace in the struggle to find peace. Comfort on the way to comfort.
[Chorus]
I won't fear love.
I won't fear love.
