Q: What's the craziest thing you've done for love?
A: Ha! Where would I begin? *mischievous glint in eye* I used to do some pretty crazy stuff, but I think it was also probably pretty creepy now that I think about it. :/

Q: If you could travel anywhere tomorrow, where would you go?
A: I'd go back to today. (I'm playing fast & loose with my reading of this question.) That way I could have a 3-day weekend. I would stay right here, because here is where I want to be.

Q: List the things that nagged you today.
A: A sour stomach from antibiotics and the mess inside my house and the idea that in not very many weeks I'll have to move out of it. Yikes...

Q: What gives you comfort right now?
A: Peppermint tea. My tummy is unhappy with antibiotics but peppermint tea works wonders.

This is a good, but long, read.
In other thoughts, lately I've been thinking about one very specific and clear memory I have of being a teenager. I had just been rejected by a boy I liked. I was a girl of many crushes and I was not afraid of asking boys to dances or to "go out" with me - but very rarely was the answer yes. At the time of this particular memory, I had been rejected many times in the recent past and I remember very vividly crying in my mother's arms and asking her "Why doesn't anyone want me?"
I'll admit, I still have that thought frequently even in the present. Why does no one want me? I think maybe it's a sign that the last serious relationship I had was over 10 years ago and everything in between has been fleeting at best and usually involved the guys becoming interested in other women while dating me. I have had people ask me out, but there wasn't mutual attraction. "Why does no one want me?" Does everyone have these thoughts?
