Wow, I don't know how long ago you left that last note, but I thought I'd drop by. I've had to keep moving diaries for privacy issues. (I don't like to lock my diary -- you might want to remove this username from your favorite diaries list, also. I won't be updating here, and it's in there twice.) Anyway, I've been somewhat idle in regards to DiaryLand, but I do occasionally update this new diary: SweetMiser. You can have a look, if you want. It's a more random look into what's going on, but it's relatively understandable, I should imagine. The entries are a lot more optimistic now, I can say that! So how goes the writing? Any luck?

Hey, this is an aequus. I just thought about you the other day and was wondering what you're up to. Anyway, I got bored with my old diaryland blog and just started a new website all my own. You can find it through here: http://piratesoul.awardspace.com

Hey, I got your message but wasn't able to respond until now. Oh, do I hear an echo of disappointment about my politics? ;) Thanks for the compliment, though. The situation with my sister is this: I am in a school program called International Baccalaureate (www.ibo.org), which is a very rigorous program that usually sends it's students to top universities. It works through the last two years of high school, with two years of prepartory schooling, and herein lies the problem. In order to get the proper preparation to join, my sister would have to leave her junior high and come to my high school, leaving behind all of her friends. She's not quite ready to do that, and despite all the academic benefits she'd rather do regular schooling, which I think she has too much potential for. But she did decide not to do it, after my last writing. I'm not much online recently, either-too much homework (another deterent)!

I am almost certain that you and I read different books. For I know of no men who read jane austen, l.m. montgomery, the brontes. Authors who themselves wanted to be displaced from reality- if only for a moment.

Your analysis of my crappy little piece on Lord of the Flies was exactly correct. It wasn't so much something that I would dare think to turn in as it was a way to exercise my writing muscles since last year. The only reason that I put it in the diary was to save it for revision later, since my grandmother's computer has this strange system error where I can't save anything or else lose all of her files for her small business. I appreciate your assessment, and I'll use it as I'm rewriting, so look out for the new one, I'll post it too! Thank you.

I already do quite a bit of writing for a Green publication, and, yes, as you assumed, much of it flies over her head. Maybe I failed to mention that despite this, she still insists on tagging along. Fortunately, I'm sure her lack of genuine interest coupled with the fact that we expect her to work with us on projects and campaigns will inevitably result in her getting bored and leaving on her own. It's frustrating to have to deal with her, but after thinking it over, it seems likely she'll soon be weeded out without any further efforts on my part.

Thanks for your note-although I'm not quite sure I deserve the praise. Your diary, though, is truly an example of how people can find similarities despite difference of opinion. I don't agree with you on a lot of issues (as you have probably surmised from my diary), yet you present your opinions in such an articulate, informed, and professional manner that it is easy to agree or disagree, because I feel that you wouldn't discredit me simply for disagreeing. Someday I hope to express myself as well as you do!

siilybeth... for somebody who doesn't push their beliefs on others.. you seem to have spent a considerable length of time sharing them.. I do however, agree that no religion or man made label will save you. It is God who saves, and he saves the people who know him. The only God that can be known is Jesus, because he is the only God who loved us enough to dumb himself down to the level of mere mortals, so that we could. I'm guessing you are hoping he was a liar. Because if Jesus wasn't.. then. Anyone who does not know him, is damned. The truth of scripture, is not revealed by men, or by religions, but by the Holy Spirit, God's spirit that is..
|
| from
sillybeth : |

Well, here is my view on everything with religion and God and what nots. 1.) I dont believe in organized religion. Why? I just dont feel that in order for me to go to Heaven or for God to love me, I have to proclaim myself a Baptist or a Lutheran, or a Catholic, etc...I am however sprititual. I do believe in God. Just not organized religion. 2). I too do not believe in Satan or the Devil or even Hell. I believe that no matter who you are, and what you have done in your living spirit world, you will always go to Heaven. But those who have tortured souls (like those who committ suicide, murder, steal, etc) when arriving at Heaven, they find their "counselor" if you will. Somebody who will take their spritit's hand and help them. 3.) I do not believe in the Bible. I believe that the Bible is just a book of wonderful stories (I do read it on occassion tho) that teach people the way that God wants us to act and think. Which goes back to why I dont believe in organized religion. Each religion will take something from the Bible, and interpret it the way their religion believes. And I dont think somebody (or a religion) telling me what to believe and how I should act is going to make go to Heaven any other way then I will go when my time comes. So thats my beliefs. :) I dont push my beliefs onto others. And those beliefs who are different than mine are always welcome in my world. I think people who have different beliefs tend to even out the friendship. :)

Compelling thought regarding entries... God gave Adam a helpmeet for a reason.. He has one for you.. the hard part.. is.. knowing who they are.. and mistaking our future spouse, with someone else.. Paul... did not speak from God concerning marriage, but from himself. His own disclaimer. Paul's reason was simple... He thought Jesus was coming back in his lifetime.. he was utterly convinced of it..
btw.. nice writing style.

We've all read "Antigone" and "Oedipus Rex."

I joined Diaryland as a senior in high school. I'm in my third year of college now. When I went to JournalCon and met up with other online diarists, everyone pretty much shared the same opinion of Diaryland. I think the site should be given a lot more credit. Andy runs a great shop, and I for one have come across many diaries of some absolutely sophisticated adult writers, and you seem like one of them. Your "Doubts about travel" entry was really thought-provoking. I must say that I've never thought about travel that way. But it's an interesting point. Maybe people should read first and then travel later. Then maybe there'll be a distinction between a true broadening of one's horizon and self-gratification.

First of all, change is always around, only sometimes we don't see it. As for whether or not thinking it's "illusory" berings comfort, I would think that if change didn't exist; if it were only a figment of the imagination, we would all feel hopelessly lost. As for me, during depressing times, I know change is there and that brings me hope. I find it hard to believe in change, during those times, though, because I want to change so badly, but can't seem to... I'm "in a pit," if you will. My frame of mine pretty much remains as this: *There is change. There is also fate. We have free will. Change is affected by our free will, while fate is affected by our change, BUT if we are meant to be in a certain place, at a certain time, the amount of free will or change could never affect that destiny.* I'm not sure if that's clear, or not, but it's the most I can do for the time being.

It's not that I don't think change is possible, but rather that sometimes it feels impossible. Every answer to one's own question lies in the emotion, but when the emotion changes, so will the answers. Change is the only constant in life. I know this. The problem? Sometimes, while other people seem to have it all together, I feel as though my emotions, my perspectives, need adjusting, due to the fact that I feel like I'm the only one that's off the charts -- everyone else seems to know what they're doing and where they're go. Even though that isn't true; the whole world is wrapped in chaos, I tend to feel like it's true when I'm at my lowest. (Now might be a good time to mention that I'm clinically depressed and refuse to take anti-depressants because I want to fight the battle alone. I got this way without pills so I can get out of it without pills.) PS: Incessant questioning adds life to DiaryLand... It's fine, really.

Actually, I do believe that our "compliments" are natually created. I also believe that we need those compliments. If we never find those other halves, then we haven't really learned the positive things about ourselves. You can't spend your whole life wishing you could change, and meeting and keeping those compliments help us to discover that we don't have to...
|
| from
emptygaze : |
|
The way I see it, everyone needs someone to compliment them because you're either outgoing or not; you're either spontaneous or wise. There's only a black and a white when it comes to the adjectives describing personalities. However, that person doesn't have to be someone you even know. I've met a lot of people on DiaryLand or ICQ who are the complete opposite of me; yet we get along because I compliment them and they compliment me. I think everyone is this way, because it is, in fact, instinct. "The way things are" is a way that is hard to ignore and change, no?

Oh, and [PS] I think "The Pasture" is more about companionship than anything else. The farmer is going to clean the spring... Then to get the calf. He's not going to be gone long and he's letting the listener know that, but he wants a companion to go with him anyway. (That's my opinion, anyway.)
