Animal love...

This was from fizzabith, The Love Test - Animal Test. I'll put the Animal quiz part in italics, my comments without:

1. You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

Well, of course. That's what I find attractive. I think that's the way everyone should be.


2. In the process of courtship, the approach that would make you feel irresistable is moods-swing, blow hot and cold in love, vacillate.

Huh? Me or the other person? I don't think so!


3. The impression you would like to give to your lover is loyal, faithful, never change.

Yes.


4. You don't like it when your partner is insecure.

No.


5. The kind of relationship you would like to build with your partner is one that you care not only about the present but also the future with your partner, a long-lasting relationship that you can grow with.

if only.


6. You can never be stabilized; actually, you are not suitable for marriage and you don't want to make committment.

Possibly true. Sometimes the commitment is made because my heart has reasons of its own. I don't really see it as a matter of conscious choice. When my heart is committed, I can only go where it leads.


7. You always want to get married, but in fact, you don't even know what it really is.

Don't know what marriage is? Sadly, I do: been there, done that. And I don't always want to get married: in fact, I have never really wanted to. To my thinking, relationships are private, and shouldn't be festooned with laws.


8. At this moment, you are quite self-centered; you think of love as something you can get and trash anytime you want.

Yerk! Not true! I am a total romantic, and romantics don't trash love.


The first sentence was the best.

Back from the fitness club....

Today was a day to do weights. I can't read while doing weights, but they're fun anyway. Afterwards I felt particularly good: energized, with a sense of accomplishment. I tried to think whether I thought doing 12 repetitions of 10 kinds of muscle-use is actually accomplishment. I think it must be. Or if it gives that illusion, is that not a good thing?

After we did yoga this morning, Aliya said I'd looked exhausted when I arrived. I'm sure I looked hot: it's a humid day, not high in temperature but muggy and close. The air seems heavy. We did more meditation than usual - I hadn't even noticed she extended the time. When we started, it was difficult to be patient through it all. Now the time zips by.

She gave me some home-made almond milk, which is delicious. I must make some for myself. It looks easier than soy milk; I don't think any cooking is involved.

Yesterday was not my 4th day of meditation at home like I said, but my fifth. How did I lose track so soon?

Invasion of the Green Room....

Just now I went to the kitchen for some water, and had to pass through the Green Room to get there. Not a problem, except that the Green Room was full of the children in our current Summer Drama Camp, who are plotting their coming play. Nine to thirteen-year-olds.

As I passed through the room, a little girl was saying very clearly, "I think we should kill all the humans."

I escaped with my life.
