'Over and over, we begin again'
Finished reading Yoshimoto's Kitchen. I highly recommend it, even if you think you don't want to read about death and relationships and chance occurrences. Or maybe you should leave it for those rough times, the ides. Rachel and I concurred, something must be in retrograde. The past two weeks have been quite difficult for quite a few, or perhaps only the ones lucky (or unlucky?) enough to be preternaturally sensitive to the subtle energies.
In all outward forms, life couldn't be better - busy social calendar, companies showing interest, multiple suitable suitors, girlfriends to confide in and only one exam left. Yet all I can think about is 1) avoiding everyone I know, 2) getting out of London, and 3) reading The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. I'm tired of people, tired of idle chatter, of desire and sex and career and studies and the 'future'. Just want to slither back into my shell for a while, to sleep, read, and drift in silence.
After finishing the novel, I tried to remember what it was I wanted to 'do' before I died.
1) Bake bread in the sands of the Sahara desert
2) A week of uninterrupted viewing of the Himalayan range
3) Swim in the Phosphorescent Lake in Puerto Rico
What do you want to do?

Two chicks at the same time.
That's it. I'm reporting your ass to PETA.
Three chicks at the same time.
You smothering my face with naan and chutney every morning for the rest of my life. HAHA.
All I would really want is just health, laughter, and happiness. As long as the people I love are healthy, happy, and laughing with me, that's all I really care about. Everything else doesn't really matter when you got laugher, happiness, and health.
Of course, some might add that having you would be the whipped cream and cherry on top of the german chocolate cake, pero no puedo decir si eso es verdad o una fantasia--jejejeje

I might get to do #3 soon. By the way, they are Phosphorescent Bays and not a lake.
