I haven't experience in fishing, which is something which might be well for me to do in the future. I can imagine that a lake might be more pleasant though.
Childish joys are something to be kept, rather than discarded in life, though it is important to be mature. One must balance the purity and courage of childhood while also cultivating the "gravitas" of adulthood. Hmm, at the end of the day, it is the sparrow that is remembered and relished like a pleasant scent, a visitation of goodness. Often the daily-ish poetry that I write consists of such experiences as you have just shared.
Yes, Scarlett's character is one that can easily displease with her stubborn and selfish ways, it is not an uncommon reaction for readers to feel such negative emotions. I think that's why she's such a popular character, as her flaws drive her psyche and her strengths are like an immovable object. She holds the reins to two wild horses (or do they hold her?) and must take both if only to survive. I haven't heard of "Wish Girl" until now. I'll try to keep the title in mind and read a chapter or two at the bookstore to see if I like it.
My my, I tend to go overboard the same way. I too tend to go to extremes and dress most plainly. I do not wish to attract attention or "fit" into the herd. I might have some style imagined deep within, but I take it nowhere. Really, I care not to "speak of world" and so "the world does not hear me", so trying out such fashions that come and go is not something I care to do.
OCD is more akin to obsessive hand washing, redundant, or unimportant tasks. The style you are speaking of is most likely ego (not an evil thing), your own personal image of yourself. To deny the comfort of proper attire is not a wrong thing.
Yes, studies and simple human experiences show that nighttime is often a creative time for many. I suppose I was rather "musing" on the subject from an aspect of personal wonder at creative nighttime activity, rather than trying to discover the already proven and well know psychological understanding of it.
I do it but the clever fish are ever in battle with me, and so far all but one have eluded capture, one escaped by the skin of it teeth. :P Yes, I think you might like it, good time for reflecting.
I agree. Really? How lovely. : D
A good way to put it. Grand. : D
It's something I'm still learning to balance. But I'm getting there. I get some of those ideas and feelings.
Hence the slight. But acquiesced. :p
Ah, makes sense. The only complication for me would be all my friends and family still being not nocturnal. And my animals I suppose.
So catch and release or dinner? How long have you been fishing? It sounds like a regular practice.
You know what makes the night special to me? It is holy. The word "holy" in English comes from the ancient word for "whole", but that's not really what "holy" means or how people use the word. Our understanding of the word "holy" comes from the hundreds of years of use from the King James Translation, which does has its translation errors and its Old English to overcome. The word "holy" in the Bible (and how it has so strongly influenced Western thinking and language) means "separate, or separated for special use". For me, the night is "separate". It's not a part of the busy day, noisy evenings, crowded mornings. It is apart from every other time. The lighting doesn't change till dawn. The night grows quieter and quieter, cooler, finer and deeper as the hours pass. It is as if the whole world turns into a pool of cool silence and peace. It is mysterious (a word meaning "hidden secret, hidden to be found), and pure. It is more whole than the day, stronger.
You thought that stuffed dragon was really just a stuffy! *evil laugh* >: D One of your friends here?
O_o And I thought he was a nice dragon. No, IRL. If an online friend found it I'd be kind of scared.
So you thought, but really, all those times he was just sitting on the bed and desk looking so innocent he was really evil. It was all a lie! Oh lol. Speaking of which let's talk about your college, does it start with M? Four words seperated into two groups by a - ?
