Or maybe once you are above a certain age people start to assume (correctly) that you are a lost cause? Whatever the reason, I'm pleased. <br />3. They're cheap? <br />4. Never. But we used to get the catalogs and pretend we did. <br />5. Zero. <br />6. It used to be Hungry Cat but they changed their happy menu and it's decidedly less amazing now. So I'm in the market to find a new place. Mercado has a pretty amazing happy hour that runs on the weekends, so they are the top contender. I take happy hour really seriously.

My sister and I recently had a heartfelt, two-hour-long conversation during which she expressed how much she wants to be able to return my bible to me one day. And some Mormons came to my door the other week. But I'm generally happier where I'm at. Organized religion always feels like it's trying to instill inauthentic principles. The result? I feel guilty or I adapt myself into deep-seated unhappiness rule-following. It really isn't for me.<br />Spirituality? Universality? Humanity? I'm constantly striving to understand myself and others, and I try to live my life being equally selfish and unselfish. And I have to accept the fact that I'm never going to feel like my parents are happy and/or supportive of this life I've tried so hard to carve out for myself. Even the most banal act can be turned on its head. I move past it, but it still stings. Alas, what is joy without pain?<br />I'm sure that answer is more than either of us bargained for.<br />2. No. Don't point the figure this way!<br />3. I haven't been to a matinee in ages, and the small community theater productions I've recently attended have been wonderfully civilized. <br />4. Nope.<br />5. Two. (doves and a local wild parrot population) I am a sad human today at this realization. There are at least three distinctly different bird calls happening outside my window right this very moment. I may know more than two, but they just aren't coming to mind. Oh! I know what an owl sounds like, too. But the difference between a robin and a finch...am I in trouble?<br />6. I have not done happy hour in quite some time. Now that I can walk to happy hour, I would be pleased to do some exploring. I'm a little reticent to go without a partner in crime, however. Happy hour and a book? I'm not so sure about that....furiousmusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108336299743282480noreply@blogger.com
