i don't understand people's preoccupation with the spines of books. books are meant to be read, are they not? yet some choose to pry the pages of a book apart just an inch or so, in order to preserve its spine and ensure that no catastrophic creases mutilate them. i appreciate the look and feel and smell of a new book just as the next person, but heavily compromising the actual process of reading, and torturing yourself for hours squinting into the depths of the book just to maintain its mint condition is quite ridiculous. i'm not saying we should go trample on all our books immediately, but honestly, creases on book spines don't kill.

alzheimer's is one disease that causes more suffering to loved ones than the patient himself. they are the ones that carry the burden of two, having to suspend enough memories for both the patient as well as themselves. worse still, they watch someone they care for degenerate before their eyes and yet can do nothing to stop the process. it's like witnessing the decomposition of his mind and his being, while the patient is blissfully unaware, especially as the condition worsens. all the little bits and pieces that make a person who he is are broken back down into their tiny components and slowly dispersed back to where they came from.
i try to write things down, just in case.

some perverse part of me actually likes that wolverine feels the pain whenever his claws come out. it makes sense that being gifted comes with a price as well, and being able to heal faster than others doesn't mean that he doesn't hurt as much. a sacrifice is always involved, that's why there is a balance. nothing happens transformer-style, shift-click-bang and yu're ready to go.
on a side note, i didn't like wolverine's adoration for jean grey. i like jean grey fine by herself and wolverine by himself, i just don't like them together. she makes him pussy [wolverine being pussy hahaha i'm hilarious] and he was losing the essence of him just like illidan did.

in movies they always show that when someone can read minds, everyone's minds sound like how they speak. i don't think in coherent sentences, i think in images and with random words thrown in once in a while. it's only when i want to write or speak, do i make a conscious effort to string words into sentences. i think a snapshot of my mind would be like a collage, or a blinking collage perhaps, of movement caught and held under flashing strobe lights.
so due to the sheer nature of the way my mind works, it's not my fault i can't hold on to thoughts for too long. i think my mind works erratically and tends to veer off logical thought processes. i find tremendous difficulty in writing narratives because i hate planning out the sequence of events.
i think that's how i think anyway. everytime i concentrate on thinking about how i think, i get myself confused, like now, so whatever.

i wanted to make a list of all the places i want to go to and all the things i want to do in this lifetime, but then i decided that it wouldn't be a good idea because it'll mean that i'll never be satisfied until i've ticked everything on that list, which will leave me feeling a sense of loss of purpose and what will i do for the rest of my life then? the list is limitless surely, so rather than dictate every minute thing that i will do, i'll discover more things as i go along.

there is a sort of splendidness in great sorrow. sorrow can tear one apart, but it unites all the grieving people through the common experience they share. sorrow gives companionship through widespread loneliness [how paradoxical, the term widespread loneliness, if everyone is alone, can they still be alone? maybe that's what frost was talking about] and this in turn creates strength that only comes in numbers. when Andromache mourned for Hector, she grieved as only his wife could, but the city wept with her for their prince.
i was mistaken, the strength that comes with sorrow need not be brought about by the masses. it can be called upon by the individual who comes to terms with his loss, and hence makes the transition over to resolution.

it's the little random quirks that makes a person more real, so here goes:
i generally don't pluck flowers off the side of the road because eventually they become wrinkly and gross and squished and that makes me guilty for killing an innocent flower so i try not to pluck them to begin with.
i have to sleep on my left side and i've been doing so since whoknowswhen and i can't fall asleep on my right.
those big round mushrooms in plastic clingwrap and styrofoam trays they sell in supermarkets secretly tell me to prod them. which is why i can't resist.
once those mushrooms are out of their packages they tell me to slice them. which is why i take pleasure in chopping them up.
i don't fold my comforter after i get out of bed because i think it's a waste of time since i'm going to unfold it again at night.
