I know that many of us have heard this, many times over. But I never get sick of this sonnet. It is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard on love. It is from Shakespeare's Love Sonnet 116:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom

Ten Things I've learned this Week
Ten Things I've learned this Week
This was not a blog and tag post. But I saw this one on my sister Lera's blog and I really wanted to do it. Please feel free to be tagged if you read this.
1. Peeing your pants is very embarrassing, but still crucial.
2. Being a geek is the best thing about me
3. It's OK to fall asleep on top of the clean laundry that is mounded on your bed. It's quite comfy really.
4. That hearing friends state that I should be a writer is a sign to get my butt in gear.
5. Spiders are totally creepy. Dead and detached spider legs are equally creepy.
6. My sisters love me.
7. I'm addicted to Alias re-runs
8. I think I'm allergic to cats... (Is it possible to get new allergies when you get older???)
9. I have the coolest and most eclectic friends on the planet.
10.Hugh Jackman is so Hot it makes me cry. (Please watch Australia!!!!)

POST SECRET
Over the last month I've run into something that I have never heard of before.
Post secret is an ongoing community mail art project, created by Frank Warren, in which people mail their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard to the address above. The art on some of these postcards are insane. Some of the secrets are loving, funny, sweet, sad, and/or horrible. Frank Warren started this project as an assignment in 2005 and it is still going strong. He has published a couple books which a good friend of mine brought to work for me to borrow. I was addicted from the first page. I cried in each book. I've laughed. I thought some where shocking and disturbing. I related to some. And I was thinking of the post card that I would be sending in. I absolutely love this project. There have been the books, art shows, blogs, and a fan site where people can write how sending in their secret has helped them in their lives.
I've attached some that I thought were interesting...but you should check the books out. They range from people stating that they faked their way through medical school to odd fears to a memoir of a past love.

There is no "hot" in Rie...
Today I realized I'm the girl who dyes her hair to look like Rogue from X-men but ends up looking like Tracy from Hairspray. Hmph.
Today is a pivotal point in my life...
