Here is a list of dearcynthia's favourite diary entries by other members:
I could be more pseudo-intellectual, but I would have to try. by softplaces comment:   "But, I am here in my head." My God by erato comment:   wow. www.diaryland.com by realthoughts comment:   A FANTASTIC exploration on why we're here in Diaryland. my big toe in madonna's mouth by starzero comment:   "sometimes i look up and the world has an added clarity, it is in super-focus. i see all the bricks in a building, all the specks of dirt on a distant window pane, i see them woodgrain on a windowsill two blocks away. everything is mine for a brief moment, and i am in awe of it.// then it softens and blurs and i lose interest. back to being insignificant." >>I know the feeling all too well. And, someone once told me about that schrodinger's cat. I think I'll look into it. Ride by erato comment:   "Gray eyes, the only things we know is that we are born and we have this body out on a loan until we return to the belly of the earth and get chewed up by maggots and worms." crystal lite by elipsis comment:   "i feel like i'm breaking out of a cocoon every time i wake up. unburying myself from a grave. untangling myself from a net. always alone, and always surprised to be here." Group therapy. by syncope comment:   "Laugh because it is all so incredibly absurd. Every worry in your head at this moment, it�s all your own creation. Every moment you spend lamenting your fate, your present or your past is of your own choosing. Every heavy thought you give to the evils of the world, or the evils of your presumed enemies, is a play that you, yourself and no one else, brings into realization." >>I need to keep in mind things like this. noni juice by elipsis comment:   "you've almost got it. but not quite.//you're still very much alone.//but we're trying." >>Never ceases to amaze. ecto-cooler by elipsis comment:   It begins: "i was thinking about culture the other day� how ideas that are born on the fringes� in *deviant* minds... often get sucked inward until they represent the *middle* or cultural norm. how does this work?" >>Wow. This entry just had me sitting there quietly for a second. Super-cool and super-impressive. With diagrams! This entry sorta blew me away, really. Something I really hadn't thought of, but it's there. "jokes/music/words/fashions/stories (articles of style) are being recycled� resurrected from obscurity to take, once again, center stage. is it because we're getting dumb and unoriginal, or is does it follow a sort of natural life cycle?" steering fluid by elipsis comment:   Many times I feel like this. Many MANY times: "sometimes i feel like lending myself out to someone else for a while. give myself a break. give myself a show. watch some stranger mold me into something amazing or funny or crude... then grab it all back, roll it between my palms and start over again with renewed inspiration." wellwater by elipsis comment:   A sad and revealing journey into the self that I can more than relate to:"why is it that i can find a pattern in everything but me? why is it that i can say of him or her or they or it, "how typical"...but remain completely blind to the redundancy of my own behavior? i feel i've changed since *before*... but i couldn't tell you how. i couldn't tell you which habits i've dropped... which i've picked up... whether i've changed direction at all or have merely reinterpreted myself to feel more progressive.../i am more in touch with my ideals than i am with my reality. this is not the way to navigate a life. i am looking at the stars and dreaming of where i want to go instead of using them to calculate my current position. i'm drifting. i'm lost.../we throw ourselves in and expect to hear, at some point, a splash./i guess i'm still falling, because everything's quiet." damn by orpheusd0wn comment:   "I don't show my temper. I may get flustered, but if I'm pissed, I swallow. It's not healthy. I learned to hate anger at an early age, and reserve the right. However, there is a release, an honesty to losing one's temper. This makes me a liar." -->I like the questions he follows with. He always asks good questions. Run Round In My Head by regz comment:   "I believe that the role of silence is largely misinterpreted. People are often silent when they are angry; when they are shy. But silence can mean something else entirely. Silence does not have to be about fear. For what are anger and shyness if they are not fear? Silence can, if you let it, be about positivity, contemplation; about exploration and time itself." -->A discussion about the role of silence in communication and how it can take over where language and sound fail. conversations with my esophagus. by waterstain comment:   "i've thought about it, and over these past seventeen years, i have found it to remain consistently applicable to every situation. that is, life would be a lot simpler if someone would do everything for me.// wanted: easily influenced individual whom i may oppress, rule over with an iron fist of tyranny, and otherwise boss around. this individual is to exist solely for the completion of my every whim and desire, to happily see to it that i never exert myself ever again, and to tell me hourly how spectacularly amazing i am. will keep applications on file." -->Amen to that. liquid nails by elipsis comment:   "so.. i need reminding. if you see me trying to paint a wall... just nudge me and say, "hey... that needs knocking down, actually." // maybe we'll save the pieces and use them later to make cool sculptures.// p.s. snapshot of a moment: looking out the window to see that the world is swirling whiteness like a snowglobe. turning back to work to realize that i am the one encased in glass." -->just beautiful. self-judgment by z0tl comment:   "i won't go further, but it is important to realize that any outcome is possible, but self-fucking is as common as self-advancement when building your levels as you go.// also important to see that exactly what you want will happen, but the hard part is to know how to want it and how to have the correct frame of reference in place to qualify for it." A SMOKIN REVIEW by dcalien comment:   "Actually I don't smoke, the cigarette does. I am just the sucker on the end." --Love it! And.. "The invitation for the review was left in my notes. I thought it was kind of ironic that it sat at the top of all the reviews that really matter to me." --too sweet. being alone by z0tl comment:   "being alone is bad, but then there is being alone in your mind for eternity. unless that's your case, there is nothing to fear.// you are born alone, you die alone, in between somehow you are scared of being alone. weird. fear nothing! really." -->I love being alone. But that's not why I love this entry. It makes you think. In the end, in the beginning, there is only you. Which is a wonderful thing. If you don't spend so much energy trying to avoid or deny it.. The Masque by regz comment:   "I think perhaps that life is about duality. It is at once the most uplifting roller coaster ride you will ever take, and yet the most serious undertaking you could possibly imagine. Somehow you have to be able to look at your life and laugh heartily, and yet still consider it to be the most heavyweight of responsibilities. In that respect I believe that life is like rock n' roll: It is thrilling and entertaining, but ultimately it doesn't matter. And yet at the same time you have to consider it to be the only thing that really does matter.// I think that if you can negotiate those contradictions in your head, whilst maintaining a sense of yourself, life is yours for the taking." -->So very true..
