Would you want to live forever? Does your answer change depending on whether or not everyone else gets to live forever as well?

To live until I'm ready to die at least.

I worry about the amount of time we have sometimes. Twelve years of our life is taken up by school. Indeed it is a place of education and learning but that generally leads to college or university. These are all experiences, which are good.. But I think it leads to routin. School-University-Career-Retire-Death. You may find time to raise a family in there too. Perhaps you'll give up that career section and stick in "kids".

There is so many wonderful, odd and fantastic things to see and experience out there. It seems impossible to be alive long enough to experience them all. Too many throw their lives away to routine. I'm not sure if that is actually living. In living forever.. Or until you're ready.. I think you'd have enough time to do all you wish to do. And to cop on to the fact there's more to this place than going through the regular routine.

Whether another lives forever along side me.. It easy for me to fall in love with the tragedy of someone not doing so.. (So obviously, that's a "No. Not yet" for me).
I suppose... Seeing people getting older would be depressing..
Seeing society itself changing, the world changing would be pretty cool. As would always being there to support great grandchildren (were you to have any) and generations after that..


Hrm, another concern would be if we really have fucked up the world and we will get something like the world freezing over or decaying or something.. I don't know if I want to be alive for that... Of course, if I stayed alive, perhaps as a person who would always be there, I could change something.
Then again... I believe that perhaps I could do that anyway. Or at least try.

Maybe we can fit almost everything into our lifetime.
But extra time would be appreciated.

Writer's Block: Holiday blues

What is the most emotionally challenging aspect of the holidays for you? Do you enjoy this season more or less than you did as a child?

Le-ess. There's no more magic anymore. That and the whole "oh, God, I don't have presents for YOU yet!" and the guilt trip.. ah blah. But I'm working on it. I wanna make this christmas fun, damnit!

"If the numbers go up, it means you're having fun!"
Science to the rescue!!

Who knew I'd actually do another one? Hee, Bear is now online! Wooooop! I have an amazing amount of e-mails, they must all die. Anyways...

It's nearly Christmas! The birth of christ! Our Savior! Born in modest conditions, he went on to sacrifice his life for all of mankind. Then again, you'd be a bit of an asshole if you didn't sacrifice your own life for the rest of mankind, no? Although, I think I'd be telling them to stop f**king up the world, 'cause hell, I'm dying for you guys, you owe me. Anyways, for the record, I'm not religious and this should not be taken as a slur to religion. In any way. *reads back over it* yeah, no, I don't think this is offensive.. I have to watch it here in Ireland, using the lords' name in vain could mean a good whipping. Well... a fine, but...meh. Although, the way the church has been carrying on these good few decades, perhaps it's laughable to be worrying about said things. It's all a joke, isn't it? (That's a quote, isn't it? I know it's in Regeneration, but... is there more?) This is Mr. Elton all over again, except I don't think he deserves death, or at least life imprisonment.. that would probably also equal death however, unless it was solitary, or there was a priest's block. And here we are in the position where we may start judging all priests. I don't want to believe all are like that, I want to believe that some completely believe in what they are teaching and just want to do good. I do.. But you know, me even talking about said things is probably hypocritical.

Which reminds me of today. My little bother, er brother, wanted to call his team in P.E. "the Nazis". This is a great name, unless what they did is actually brought into clear sight. I've been caught up in it too. I hope I develop a sense of horror at the thought of the nazi party eventually. Although, if I HAD been in that time, I know I'd have wanted to twist their heads off.. Hmm, I'm very violent today. "I didn't say I was going to kill Lloyd George, I said I FELT like killing him".. Yes, anyways, my brother's teacher wouldn't let them do that and the name was eventually reduced to "The Germans". How awful is that? Now it's all encompassing! >.< Ahh, he didn't even understand. I'm here and I'm complaining, but, you know... I'm probably just as bad in many other areas. Hopefully I'll be able to see that and fix it though. Or if I don't, hopefully someone will smack me over the head and say "BAKA! Don't say things like that!" Hmm, you know, I CAN imagine someone saying that.....

Well, I COULD actually go on, but I had best not. Finish the journal and go... do.... maths. Yes. Maths. Go.

Apparently, it was a good idea to set this up. For Hetalia reasons, you see. Apparently I need it. Generally I only know what I need, my laptop thinks otherwise.. Listening to news today, and schools are getting all upgraded and laptops are on the way, apparently. Yes.. because we all really need laptops in the middle of a crippling recession. I just hope money isn't being wasted on this and we've already invested too much money to pull out and profit. Then again, it's not our money anyway, is it? Question One; Where did all the money go? Question Two; Why don't I have it? I suppose it's good that prices are gonna go down, though..

In town yesterday, the sixth Sandman TPB; €21.99 in Forbidden Planet. Thought, forget this, to Chapters! ...€26.99....Sighs.... Yesterday I also learnt how amazingly dirty our minds are.. I already knew some of the others were, but I am too, now. A day of self discovery, I blame Jane Austen. Ahh, why isn't there a quirk classic for emma yet? I'm considering reading others by Austen, just to read the quirk classics... I might... eventually. Although, I'd be more inclined to head off for H.G. Wells or Robert Louis Stevenson.. he DID right Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, didn't he? Oh yes he did, oh no he didn't..oh...Yes, he did. Oh! Excuse me, The Strange Case of Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Ohkay, I'm gonna stop clogging up the internet, because after all, this post is pointless and nobody will ever, ever read it (probably). Hmm... that could be taken as a Holes reference... Ah hell, MUST-STOP-TYPING. I'm gone. I'm here no more.
