  • profile log 12-29-05 2005-12-30 02:28:09 UPDATE 7-19-05 I've decided on a lifestlye change. After watching the movie "the Corporation" I'm going to work even harder not to buy products produced by corporations. This will be difficult, seeing as almost everything is made by one big company or another. I started boycotting companies based on the way they scewed me, like BesyBuy & CompUsa, but I think now I'lll also work on purchasing food & clothing produced ethically, i.e. no factory farms or sweatshops. I have a bad feeling that clothing lines currently available eiher pollute, use sweatshops, or both *cringe*. I guess what I can do is buy vintage clothing or shop at boutiques where the owner is also the designer & builder. I get my food at farmers markets. 
  • presents! 2005-12-27 22:48:17 I got:
    digital camera (YAY!!!!!)
    bath gift sets (save the recipts)
    myself some graphic novels (Sandman! Finally, it is mine!)
    myself some ornaments
    myself tickets to a New Year's Eve concert
    money ($500...see above for what I bought)
    Earthian (80s anime series)
    Duck's Breath Mystery Theater (in no way associated with mst3k. I don't like it)

    That's it. I saw Memoirs of a Geisha on Christmas night. It really made the day for me. I loved the movie with every fiber of my being. I also decorated the living room (at the last minute as usual, altho this time I had a legimite reason). It's nice that the holiday is over and I can relax now. All in all, it was not a bad Christmas.

I don't think that's it.... Maybe gifts just feel empty. Maybe it's because school's out. As stressed as I was this semester, it's always a downer to have nowhere in particular that I need to be. I guess I just don't feel needed. Or something like that.

    Inspired by reading Kazuya Tsurumaki's thoughts on eva in the red cross book.

    It's about getting out of yourself, getting into someone elses head for a night. You can listen to the lyrics, but you cant really understand them. They dnt make any sense, they never wil. Whats not important. Whats important is feeling alive even if its only for a minute, even if that minute has to end. No one can ever understand another persons brain, the way they think. Even DaVinci painted that with virgin on the rocks. People are mysterious and confusing and complicated, but emotions are real and raw. Feeling alive is all there is, and when it starts to dwindle is when your candle burns out.
