<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Saturday, October 15, 2005 :: I curse that I cannot sleep in. Staying up late becomes an impossibility, because I cannot make up the time the next morning. Once the sun's up, I'm up. It's very, very sad. And makes me feel old. So today I'm going shopping to make myself feel not-old. Because I have a rental car and can go anywhere I want! Yay! (yawn) :: Cathy 7:16 AM [+] :: 0 comments :: Thursday, October 13, 2005 :: I love Flickr.com. Honestly. I just put up a new batch of my Holland photos in about a half hour. Check out how cool I am wih my klompen. It's called elephantitis of the feet. This is a big draw of Zaanse Schans - an outdoor museum near Amsterdam. People love to try on the big wooden shoes. Of course it was a bit touristy, but at least I get to blog about a photo and everyone immediately understand where I am. Jan also took me into the working windmills there and we saw them making oil and paint. Very exciting. Although the windmill master was decided less talkative than the one that Mom and I talked to at Kinderdijk. Follow the link to see other photos at Zaanse Schans. :: Cathy 8:23 PM [+] :: 0 comments Tonight I had dinner with Jane. It's so tough to listen to your friends being taken advantage of. You always want the best for the people you love. So it hurts me when I hear when they're not being treated right. It makes me feel very protective. I don't understant how people can be so oblivious to the fact that they are making another human being unhappy. I really don't believe that they know and don't care. I refuse to believe that a human being is just that horrible. Although, last night at Bigger than Jesus, they were talking about just that: that guy you know who goes through completely unhappy. More than that, they were talking about how not to be THAT guy. And the choice that we make every day not to talk to THAT guy so that he will never know that a friendly voice is on the other side of his tunnel vision. And more than that, it is really not a show that my dad would probably like. The creator might like that thought. But I suspect, more than anything, he really just wants people to talk about it. To wonder. To be alive. To not throw out religion because they don't believe in a particular story that may or may not be true. In the end, it doesn't really matter whether it was true - what matters is what we're doing now. And right now, I want to save my friends from the big bad wolves of the world. My mom wants to save her sister and her friends. But we can't. All we can do is love unconditionally and give them the knowledge that you believe that they will work it out all on their own. Is that what my personal jesus does? Leaves it up to me because he believes I will work it out? Maybe that's why I am strong enough to actually work it out. Maybe that's the gift I need to give to those I love the most: the gift of doing nothing. :: Cathy 7:20 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 :: I was just going through my photos from last year's trip to Calgary and I discovered this one. Dad makes a pretty good thoughtful model. Wilcox Pass and the Athabasca Glacier make a pretty spectacular backdrop. Click on it and you can check out some of my other photos from that trip and leave comments or watch a slideshow and all sorts of cool things. I'm testing out Flickr.com and realize that it's likely the coolest thing I've used in a long time. I could possibly be the last blogger on the planet to discover it. Well, that's what a WebGoddess gets when she doesn't have time to stay home and geek out. Bad Cathy. I guess I should be thankful that I'm too sick to do anything else tonight. :: Cathy 7:00 PM [+] :: 1 comments :: Monday, October 10, 2005 :: Thanksgiving: a time to give thanks. I am thankful for my family, with whom I just spent a thoroughly lazy long weekend. I am thankful that I have a good life here in Toronto and that I'm finally happy with it. That I love my apartment and my boyfriend and that I have good friends and a job that could be a whole lot worse. I'm thankful that Matt is going to marry Kendra because I love them both and I think that they make each other happy. I'm thankful that I'm starting to grow up and realize what's really important in life... and what isn't. I'm thankful that I'm still young enough to be curious about the world, embrace adventure, learn new things every day and know that my future holds unfathomable promise. :: Cathy 7:26 PM [+] :: 1 comments
