Hmmm...
Terrifically consistent. Beneath Joshua's innate ability to really piss people off, people should have realized all those questions were a quest for the truth. Generous and compassionate, traits many didn't take enough time to get to know. Intricate childlike curiosity of the world around him and a distinct and deep desire to understand why and how. Often pushed people beyond their perceived limits and was ready and available to catch those that fell. For those that succeeded, was there to applaud their triumphs.
(That is the stuff fit for print. There is a whole world one would say behind the French Doors.) -
Rumi. I feel like Rumi understood God and love, not only to be one, like no other human. I would love to spend a day looking through his eyes and hearing through his ears to see what his view was the led him to write on what he did in his travels.

To have stronger motivation to be healthier. I cannot explain my lack of motivation outside of it feeling like wheels spinning in mud most of the time and that is incredibly exhausting. Acceptance and dealing is a whole helluva lot simpler. However, acceptance and dealing do nothing to improve my health.

Hmmm, when I first read this question, I had in mind that "Oooo, this one is interesting and should be easy to answer." I was horribly wrong on the easy to answer part. I have been thinking on this one all day, and not sure that will end anytime soon, so thank you for asking such a good mind challenge.
Growing up, living in middle farm town Indiana, I didn't understand all the hullabub about race, until I started working in Indy.
Indiana is incredibly segregated. I didn't realize how much so until I moved to Atlanta. White neighborhoods are white neighborhoods and black neighborhoods were black and never the tween shall meet.
One of the things that drew me to Indy and eventually to Atlanta was the level of diversity in culture and ethnicity.
I did have one really scary experience in a very black neighborhood in Indy. I was working as a manager for McFarland Foods in a rather poor and gang populated area of Indy. The employees didn't want me there. The people of the 'hood didn't want me there. I was attacked and almost raped at work. My car was damaged a few different times. After the attempted rape, I requested a transfer and got it the same day.
Now being in Atlanta for 15 years, I see how sheltered I was from the "real world." In many ways, I am glad I was and raised by parents who didn't spout a lot of racial slurs. They taught me people are people and I would like to think, for the most part, I behave that way. It's not 100%, but when dealing with people en masse, it never is. -
Fairtax... we needs it. In a perfect world, abolish politics? muahaha

If I need to ask for help more than once. If I have already asked you for help with something, or to do something for me, and I have to remind you I asked.... this is for the super angry making.

Bejeweled Blitz (as in, OMFG, I have an addiction issue) and currently this thing.

The smell of freshly showered skin after it has been warmed by the sun. Gentle, barely grazing the skin teasing touch. Warm breath on the back of my neck. Soft skin. Take your pick from any of the above, as they pretty much all tie in my realm.

Hot, More, The answer is always yes, now what is the question? White, Blue

This weekend... The Great Closet Project™ , play my guitar, work on some jewelry, cook dinner for friends on Sunday, maybe write a little.
All of this subject to change with mood swings. :) -

The new Pearl Jam album-- Back Spacer -
I often feel over the lack of communication. It is very frustrating. I love being an RC and wish to do more this year. I do get over the all (as in completely over the top) to not at all levels of communication.

I have a couple of crushes. Mostly me just admiring from a far.
I would not say no to a new relationship, but I am not actively seeking one. I have a friend with bennies outside of my marriage and probably the possibility of other friends with bennies, and I like that.
I have noticed the last year my desire to dive in deeper with people, to get more emotionally involved than just surface skimming... and this is usually the sign I am opening up to the idea more. -
I really don't know... I love love living in Atlanta. Maybe stay here and live in a more extravagant home? Lame, I know...but it's all I can think of right now.

Why not? Someone once called me "that clove girl" in reference to me smoking a clove cigarette and they stated that they associated the sweet and spicy smell with me. It kinda stuck and felt way more comfortable than Elisa ever has. I've gone by Clove ever since.

Well, seeing as you replied anonymously, I am not exactly sure. If I know you, I am sure there are many reasons why I love you...as I love most of the people I know in one way or another.

I don't know that my opinion has changed as much as it has grown. I have enjoyed getting to know you more than just via the web. I am sad I have missed opportunities to see you more when you have come to town.
You are probably more emotionally layered than one can credit to you with only a web's eye view. You seem easy and intriguing to befriend, but I hold back a little and I am not sure why. I would like to change that. -
I am more sexually attracted to women, I think, at this point in my life.
Intellectually, I enjoy men and feel more in tune with them "romantically."
The women I have strong emotional bonds with aren't as sexually attractive to me as I have grown to accept them into my heart in a sister capacity.
I think a lot of this is my current distinct lack of a female sexual partner. Although, I don't know if my opinion would change if that were different. -
In the grand scheme of things, sometimes. I am mostly ok with not having children, as my life now is full of them. I go through moments when my complete lack of tolerance for children is at an all time high and there are days when I just want to hold a baby in my arms and snuggle it for a bit.
I feel this way about all ages of people. ;)
I don't like I am less of a woman. I don't crave to feel what it is like to carry a child full term anymore, although I did at one point.
The one thing I can say about not having my own children, is I think I would be an awesome mother. -
Wow, that is a loaded question. It is hard to say just one thing, because all things relate. If I changed one thing, it might start a domino effect and I might lose another thing I really appreciate about my life.
Easy answer: live closer to work.
Harder answer: Engage deeper in emotionally and not just skim surfaces.
