Third Time's The Charm...

I'm about to head off to Germany tomorrow, and I was looking over this site and some of my previous entries, and I just realized how much my life has changed from last year.  It's really amazing.  I am so happy right now, it is unbelievable.  One of the things that I came across, marveling at some of the answers, was this quiz thingie.  The last time I took it was in July 2007.  I'm taking it again, because I am so happy with some of the new answers I can fill in.

6.  Last time you said I don't remember:  Probably sometime earlier this morning...  Maybe last night.
7.  Last time you cried:  New Year's Eve and through midnight into New Year's Day.  I thought Tom was dead!  (He wasn't, for all of you worried souls out there.)

*PRESENT*

9.  What color socks are you wearing:  Black, with Santa heads and the words 'Ho, Ho, Ho' in red and white

The Lucky Number Appears Again...

One of my wonderfully delightful friends - who understands me and my crazy obsessions better than almost anyone else in my life - recently clued me into the fact that my favorite metal, silver, is even sweeter than I originally thought.





Do you see that?  Do you see that?! 
Anyone who knows me will see what I'm seeing.  Silver has the coolest atomic number EVER!

So how about you guys?  Got a lucky number?  What's your matching element?

there are times when you would not give half an hour at any price."

Our lives are made in these small hours,
These little wonders,
These twists and turns of fate.

Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours,

Still remain.

Reading:
'His Dark Materials Trilogy'
- by Phillip Pullman

Listening:


Take my love, take my land,

Take me where I cannot stand.

I don't care, I'm still free,

You can't take the sky from me.

Take me out to the black,

Tell them I ain't comin' back.

Burn the land and boil the sea,

You can't take the sky from me.

There's no place I can be,

Since I found Serenity.

But you can't take the sky from me.



- The theme song from Joss Whedon's Firefly
