How many times can a person have a meal at delifrance before eating there becomes monotonous.. I have tried almost everything they have to offer, and mum still loves going there.
How many times can a person plonk herself down for tv viewing before it becomes positively boring.. And how many times can I cut my hair till I don't have any left lol. Don't know why I have this impulsive need to alter my hairstyles. I can get it spray-teased too, and the wind-blown effect doesn't look that bad either. Well, monotony
is a dangerous thing.. There was never anything wrong with living a mundane life, much like
Our Town actually. (I was clearing up old books, so that explanation should sufficiently clarify why the reference to
Our Town -
shudders.)
Seems to me that some do recognize that individual feelings could never outweigh conventional social distinctions. Austen felt that judgement is always inflected or modulated by personal desire, just as vision is always governed by perspective. Since this world is ours to make or destroy, we destroy our world by prejudice and by putting personal desire above society. So that's why it has to be Society above Self. Because every action by an individual is automatically linked to the actions of others. Simple.
Listening to Michelle Branch.. Watched this surfing competition for the Roxy Cup in
Hawaii. Holly has this really cute Reef surfboard. And her flip-flops looked like the one sis bought lol. Men's semi-finals had them surfing 25-foot waves. I have tried a
third that height, and would definitely have drowned 5 times if I attempted that 25-foot feat. Then again, I am no professional. My aunt wants to watch
Saw. She'll have to kill me first if she wants me to watch it with her.
