Do You Feel Loved? Yeah, me either...

For those of you who don't know about the five love languages this may be of interest. It's simply an evaluation of how you show love and thus how you feel loved. I think it's really important to know these sorts of things about the people your close to or even just those you have to interact with on a regular basis. I decided to actually take the test, thinking I may be surprised at the results, but as it turns out I wasn't at all. Apparently I know myself pretty well; let me know what your results are!

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Umbrellas & The Future of Mankind

Holly has things to do. Holly must procrastinate. Holly writes. (*sigh) such is my fate. So sorry that updating has been slow. I've always avoided letting this become the typical diary blog where I tell you everything that happened in my day, I assure all of you it isn't nearly interesting enough to warrent the consumtion of any plane in the void that is the internet, though perhaps more worthy than much of what is out there, CONFORM I WILL NOT! Anyway not much has caught my eye so day to day occurances are all I have for you.

Moving right along. I tend to be realistic in my expectation of the world and consequently all the people in it. I wouldn't say I'm cynical, most would but I wouldn't, however I don't like to get my hopes up about anything because I prefer to live a life of no expectations and consistantly be surprised than bounce around blissfully naive with only frequent jolts back to reality that feel something like a 4x4 to the face when expectaitons fail to come to fruition. That being stated me and my "realistic" perspective received one of those plesent surprises on Monday afternoon circa 2:45pm while I was leaving class on the way to my car. It had started to rain pretty hard and since it had been clear when I left my house I wasn't prepared. So in my light sweater, anything but waterproof shoes, and my umbrella saftely on the passenger seat of my car I sighed and gave myself up to the fact that I would be hopelessly soaked very soon. Or would I? As I began on my way I heard a voice behind me, "Would you like to share my umbrella?" I turned around to see a very kind young man smiling pleasently entirely willing to asist me in keeping dry. His name turned out to be Ryan and we enjoyed a quaint conversation until we parted ways and I excused myself saying it was nice to meet him and his umbrella. Ryan. Yes he has definitely had a way of making me more optomistic about the fate of mankind's character. I don't see how I could but I feel a deep need to bake him cookies, just to show my appreciation for his simple gesture.

Hmmm, maybe I'll just bake cookies and give them to some random person who looks hungry and then it'll be like returning the favor. Yes, perhaps that's what I'll do...

Vendetta's Voracity Vanquishes Villains

Friday night: Holly sees a fantastic movie! Really it's one of the best I've seen in a good long time. Title? you ask. The movie was V for Vendetta which I've come to find not a whole lot of people know about. It's based on a comic, which much to the angst of a certain friend I have yet to read all the way through. I have read Orwell's 1984, however, perhaps my favorite book, and the stories are very similar. Think corupt totalitarian leadership meets which truth weilding super human. I wouldn't see it though if you'll find it difficult to get past improbable outcomes or the symbolism that truth overcomes all adversity. Once again I LOVED it, but then I also hold fast to my dorkdom and appreciate anything that prompts the intellectual discussion of absolute truth.... yeah, I actually do...

I give in 6 out of five stars. It was fabulous. The more I think about it the more I like it. Enjoy, but if you don't I DID warn you!

PEACE or perhaps ANARCHY, given our topic....

P.S. I think a very appropriate quote for this post was given to us but our nation's very own Thomas Jefferson, "The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave."

Happy March :)

This is going to be a quick post because I REALLY need to stop procrastinating. I really liked this picture, it was for class and I know none of you know the kid so with that in mind just consider the composition, if you will.

On an unrelated note, I finally downloaded one of my favorite songs, not entirely sure why it took me so long to do it. For those of you who haven't heard "Come on Eilleen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners, you're missing out. It's a classic, so shame on you if you haven't. I was thinking and if they had just stopped producing music after the 80's I don't think I would've been that heart broken. That stated I can't imagine a world without Arcade Fire, Gorillaz, or.... kelly clarkson (THERE I admitted it!! I'm a closet Kelly Clarkson fan, whatever.)
