Mar. 23rd, 2006 10:31 amRe my creepy feel-good post (lol), something I posted in a comment:
Like I say, for certain values of "love". I was trying to use one word to cover all bases and English is teh suck for that kind of thing. When I say "more intense" I meant "than I feel about people who I didn't put on the list", not necessarily something burning. Just positive enough that I recognize it as a genuinely positive emotion, rather than something neutral (I am awfully neutral about a lot of stuff).
If you are wondering why I would post such a thing at all, "a certain community" happened to be about suicides, thus the "because who knows what the hell will happen tomorrow" subject line. I don't mean that I think anyone is planning, and neither am I, but [insert natural disaster here], for instance.
In short I like to feel like someone out there feels good about me, so I was pre-emptively returning the favour (?!?).

Mar. 23rd, 2006 11:37 amI've been seeing little things all over lately. A couple of people getting unexpected money right when they needed it. My mother deciding (finally) that she ought to lose some weight and setting a goal of 20 lbs by October (really, she probably needs to lose 50, I dunno what she weighs exactly, but it's a start, and a very doable, conservative goal). My mother also mysteriously deciding that brown rice and whole grain breads are what should be in the house instead of their white cousins. (I'll convert them to barley pilafs with tofu and kale yet!) People are posting a lot of things lately that are all like little specks of light. Often minor things, but it's remarkably widespread (I think it's remarkable, anyway). Quantity, not individual size, thus pointing to a "size" of an overall phenomenon.
Things are In Motion, it seems.
