Man, I LOVE my life! As a child, it's more than I ever dreamed it to be. I've been blessed!!!
I'm an independent and successful woman with a wonderful family and many true friends. Sometimes I will ask myself, "How did I get so lucky? And what did I do to deserve all of this?" I'm still not sure, but I don't take any of it for granted - not even for a second...
At Christmas, I hope you're thankful for what you have and not dwelling on what you don't. May God bless you and yours, now and for many years to come!
One love, elle
So, my flu has faded away and left me with a pretty bad case of laryngitis. I’m fine not having a voice, even if unable to go to work because of it. In wrapping some Christmas presents and trying not to become daunted by the list of things I need to do today, it appears that I am just continuing with the usual and looking for ways to put off my priorities...while using MTVAsia as the chosen scapegoat – a worthy one, indeed.
Be that it may, I’m not sure if anyone is actually reading these words from my mind…but I have a lot of them constantly running through my head – and nobody to share it with. Consequently, my blogging is, in part, a chance for me to record some of this internal dialogue onto a more tangible form...maybe I can make more sense of myself then. Although I may not look the part, I’m a pretty analytical introvert - to the fullest. I’m perfectly happy sitting home alone on a Friday AND Saturday night in my robe and slippers, reading or writing, with a glass of ice water. In fact, during my leisure time, I actually find the most enjoyment out of life by doing just that. Which brings me to my 2008 resolution – I need to get out more.
Contrary to popular belief, reading has the potential to be harmful …for some situations, too much information just isn’t a good thing. I have enough thoughts to sifter through as it is…and I’m beginning to feel somewhat socially-inept with people my own age when engaged in conversation, particularly true with younger, single men. When considering I loathe talking on the phone, watch absolutely no television, rarely listen to the radio, and read more than I sleep, what do you expect? Yes, I will sometimes [unintentionally] use “big words” when I talk to you, especially if it’s a topic I’m passionate about…
With Christmas just around the corner and a million things on my 'to do list,' wouldn't you know now's the perfect time to be struck down with the flu!! Blah - are you kidding me?!
I feel much better than I did on Friday...when it first hit. However, I still feel like shit...pressed-for-time-overtly-stressed-out-shit.
Happy Holidays, anyhow!!!
Please pray for South Korea, and keep in mind all of the helpless plants and animals this unprecedented catastrophe is adversely affecting...innocent victims of human error.
This deeply saddens me. If I were there, I'd be helping with the massive clean up going on.
I wish I were there.
***Men See You As: A Difficult Challenge***
You must be an incredible hottie...
Because it's the only way you can pull off the ice queen act
You're the type of woman that men love to chase
But if you don't stop running, you'll never get caught!
Honestly, this is more of a curse than a blessing.
Do Men Find You a Challenge?

"I know not how I seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with while the vast ocean of undiscovered truth lay before me." -Isaac Newton
What a conundrum - this life we know. If everything's the same in the end, why does the beginning matter? The path less traveled is a myth. The road commonly chosen? A rat race. Our eyes are focused so intently on the prize ahead that we fail to realize we've been running in the wrong direction. If my fate is chosen for me, what's my purpose?
If the winner's already picked, why play the game? The search for an answer is paradoxical, an infinite and progressively complex, questionable quandary. We dig deeper to make discoveries. Yet, the findings we come across only reveal with them more mystery. The more we know, the more we realize we don't know - one step forward with every two steps back.
