My integrity's intact, it's just trendier...

I succumbed. I became, in a moment of weakness, part of 'my generation' of twitterers.

I also began watching 'Buffy'. both of these abnormalities were introduced into my sphere by family.

But isn't he cute?




He is. that's all there is to it.

Free Will for Sale?

Interesting conversation about free will last night.

It can be argued that free will does not exist. We are all parts of who we are surrounded by from birth to present. We function in the ways we are shown how to, with preferences we've acquired from watching those close to us.
Do we have personality other than what our friends and family afford us?
Do we pick up pieces based on what we find affinity with? Or based on what we hear most often?

I rarely state my opinion on things like this. I like to 'know' answers, but don't believe in answers. I believe in 'good' and 'wrong' and how they influence us.

So the topic was introduced that perhaps in marriage, free will is put down. Is it?
Couldn't the choice to accept what one brings to a marriage be entirely dictated by free will?
Ideally I would want to be so happy to love and devote to someone the title of married that I would consider it a free choice.

Yet how does one define 'marriage'?

feel free to answer. If you can.
I find myself thinking 'what if my answer depended on the person?'

What's in a Name?

A rose by any other would smell as sweet.....

What about when people malign others', without giving them a chance to defend themselves?
Communication is said to be an art. I disagree.
Say what you need to say, in the gentlest way possible. Ask what you desire to ask in the most straightforward way, and then understand if it takes a while to receive an answer.
There are things I need to tell people, kindly, looking into their eyes.


I'm going to start. Before I die.
