Today's astronomy picture of the day is lovely! Go look!

I'm very tired. And I need to get up for the commuter rail leaving at 7:30 Thursday morning. I forgot that Thursday was going to be effectively a weekend as far as how often the trains will be running. I may change my mind on taking someone up on an offer to help me skip the need for using the commuter rail to get to Logan. That's *early*! Mmm. Still contemplating, though, because taking the train means I can nap on the hour-long trip by train, and making use of the aforementioned offer will mean I'd need to be *driving* for 45 minutes, albeit a little bit later in the morning. Hmm...

I was thoroughly floored, while catching up on the weekend's LJ posts, to find myself as someone that a friend of mine was seeking to emulate at some point in time. *blinks* Thoroughly flattered, mind you. But... whoa. Just not something I associate with myself.

Apparently I have good energy. I'm not quite sure what that means, but one of the people I was sitting next to at the work group mentioned that to me. Interesting!

I get to spend time after work tonight with a wonderful and cute girl. *squee*

Speaking of squee, I lent _Squee_ to someone yesterday. Yay for lending really strange reading material to nifty people!

LOTR last night was amazing. Ran really late (kinda as expected), but wow. And I have a really nifty new purple soft dress now! Hmm. I think I'll bring that to Orlando and wear it for New Year's Eve. Yeah. I like that idea. And my cloak! That dress so needs the cloak.

Also, it's really amazing how desirable a certain girl I know can look while holding a T token in her mouth. Whew!

Running away to Orlando Thursday. Go, me!

I often seek to emulate you! :) In this particular instance, I am admiring your ability to be open to other people because you're so confident in yourself, in who you are. We talked about it at the beach this summer, I think: that when who you are isn't dependent on who someone else is, you can be totally open and non-judgmental and it makes you very easy to talk to.

(I wrote about that afterward. I'll copy and paste it into my journal, since I'm still not terribly competent with livejournal!)

I think that you achieve this state often and I am seeking to become more self-confident myself so that A)I can share more of myself, and B)I can respond to other people as they are, not as I want them to be :)

ability to be open to other people because you're so confident in yourself, in who you are.

Huh. It's really odd to see someone else's opinion of myself apparently reflecting who I would *like* to be, even though I don't think I'm there yet. *I* don't feel confident in who I am... but, because of what you quoted in your reply to my comment to your original post (http://www.livejournal.com/users/starandrea/6123.html), you apparently know that. And have that opinion anyway.

I...

Thank you. It's really helpful to see myself through other people's eyes. Especially ones who've known me a while.


You know what's the most interesting about this conversation? My impressions of *you* are that you're someone who does what she wants, simply because she wants to - something I associate with confidence in one's self. And that's something I strive for, myself - I tend to be too cautious.

So, basically, we each apparently think of the other as someone who is very confident, but don't think that about ourselves. *amused* Mutual admiration, indeed! :)

Hmm. I think I'll bring that to Orlando and wear it for New Year's Eve.

Wow. I very briefly read this as though "Orlando" referred to Orlando Bloom. *sigh* *swoon* (I finally saw Pirates last week, and of course LoTR is ever present on my mind since I'm dating a Frodo look-alike.) Anyway. Have fun!!!

Dude. You're dating a frodo look-alike? *That* must be interesting! :)
