Was mildly startled to realize, while falling to sleep last night, that I seem to have _finally_ gotten rid of an automatic association in my head between 'mine' and 'and no one else's'. I might be willing to actually _use_ the word, and not have mild discomfort if it's used relating to me.

(not, to say, that that association is never there - it just no longer is automatically heard by me. Big difference.)


Also, Astronomy Picture of the day: iridescent Cloud.

Random

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.
