Are there types of people whom people just don't connect with or is that just made up? I look at some of the great people who have lived on this earth, Beethoven, Einstein, not exactly known for their social skills..Did the world just turn a blind eye to these people, or did they purposely set themselves away from the rest of the world. I know for me, its so easy for me to be alone, and I like having my own time, but I also feel the need to speak with people, whether it be just everyday chit chat or meaningful conversations. What makes some people more compatible with other people, and why are certain people drawn to other people? My friend, Lydia thinks it has to do with scents, and the odor our bodies emit (at least relationship wise) We also question why we are friends at all. We have few common interests, different lifestyles and yet during the summer we are two peas in a pod. She claims to have made me a "hug person" and maybe shes right, in my family physical contact such as hugs is not an everyday occurence. Anyways just some thoughts, signing off from the public library

soulmates

I was just reading a blog, and the person spoke about waiting for love. It takes a while, my friend told me that I'm the type of person who doesn't have handfuls of boyfriends but when I find that person he'll be the one. One is all it takes. Its hard not to be anxious and envious of other people in relationships but sometimes its worth the wait. Or i guess its always worth the wait. I wouldn't want to be in a relationship just for the sake of being in one, I couldn't imagine spending that much time and energy on something that was just ho hum.

Perfect Weather

Today was the perfect temperature, a windy fall like day, I could not be happier:)

Bread

I love making bread, theres something about it thats so wholesome and pure. Kneading the dough, letting it rise and eventually baking it, the smell of fresh baked bread is I can't even describe it. Who wants to buy bread from the store, it's not warm and fresh and doughy. Theres a reason why fresh bread lasts about 4 days before it goes hard and stale, while bread from the store lasts up to 2 weeks and in Wonder bread forever! What are we feeding eachother?

Ugly Betty

I have been on an Ugly Betty fix lately and am really disappointed its over, without any questions really being answered. Daniel and Betty need to get together and I really hope they make a movie out of it. For right now I can't get enough and am actually going backwards in terms of seasons, kind of weird but it works.

Beautiful People

People are beautiful plain and simple, sometimes I wonder why on the bus everyone isn't talking, we are all a miracle, God has made us all and has a plan for each of us. It's almost incomprehensible and breathtaking about the path that is laid out for each of us, already predetermined.

It's been a loud day. Noise noise noise noise, finally now I'm home alone and its quiet except for the laundry machine whirring in the background. Why do we as humans always feel the need to blast music 24/7 not giving us time to think or have our own thoughts. Man, heres to silence and quieter days!

Copland...

So I've recently really been enjoying the music of Copland. All thanks to my sister, who has recently been listening to beethoven.com and is starting to point out English horn/ oboe parts, I think it's awesome she's trying to understand or even appreciate what I love about music. The thing about Copland is his titles of works. They are so inspirational and are always about hope and loving people, I can't help but feel patriotic and nostalgic when I listen to them. Fanfare for the common man.. great brass choir, and so triumphant and hopeful in spirit. The Promise of living is one that reminds me of home, my Dad and everything beautiful and right within this world. This composition makes me think about everything I want to do with my life, live in the country where its peaceful, where I'll be content and not restless, surrounded with a family. I know this all sounds cheesy but this is seriously what I want and hopefully one day it comes true...but for now I'm just going to keep listening.

I've had a pretty wonderful day...We were listening to Brahms in Music History class, and something about listening to Brahms makes me always just want to sigh, it's so gorgeous! I can't wait till the day when I play his music!
I also taught piano today, I have one student, I actually quite admire her she's 79 years old and just wants to learn how to play piano, she's always wanted to and now shes finally taking the time to do it... around her house she has all of these pictures her husband, kids, grandkids and even great grandkids, I hope I live old enough to see that many generations. I just love old people, they're so cute, and I feel like I can always learn from them. So here's to the elderly and of course BRAHMS!

Chai Tea Lattes

So yesterday was all about changing expectations I had of people...This guy who I thought was a lazy slacker is actually amazing at recorder! of all the random instruments, it was insane, I was watching him play and could barely believe it, I had to keep telling myself that it was real and what I was seeing was actually happening, I wasn't just imagining...
And I realized I haven't even talked about chai tea lattes, I made my own today and they were quite good, just a chai tea bag and vanilla soy milk! yummy..
Oh and another thing I want to start reading poetry.. I've always wanted to be ann intellectual a person who when they're older the house is head to toe book shelves sagging with books...I just watched Bright Star a bitter sweet love story about John Keats and Fanny Braun... The poetry of Keats is stunning, I dont even know how people can come up with such elegant phrases I can barely write an eloquent essay let alone poetry to inspire other people. Anways so I want to be inspired in which case I'm going to head to the nearest library and see what I can find out about Keats!

I'm listening to a CBC radio 1 pod cast right now talking about the Mathew Shepard murder...At one point during the interview the interviewer asks is God was ever involved in the homosexuality process with her son....This brings up a point that the Bible was written by men and not from the word of God. Honestly I don't know how the bible was written I guess the typical idea is that the men who wrote the bible were eye witnesses and accounted everything down after it had occured, I like to think also assisted with the help of God some how I'm not really sure any ideas?

Whoa

Another Long Day, the opera hours are soo long, I came back last night thoroughly exhausted and watched some good ol' daughter quinn medicine woman.
My friend asked me an interesting question tonight, about what I want my future husbands career to be? I answered more with what I want him to be like as opposed to his job. In short I want someone who essentially is my equal, whom I can share meaningful conversations with.. It's a pretty well known fact that most musicians marry musicians. But I find most musicians expecially here to either be really flamboyant or really serious and condescending. However I dream of playing/jamming with my future family and kids, to me that would be so ideal!

Love

I recently watched The Young Victoria. How they portray Prince Albert is everything I want in a husband. I can't wait till I fall in love, if that time ever comes, I hope it will. One of the cutest scenes is when Albert walks calmy into the room, then runs at top speed to jump into bed with his wife....I'm such a romantic!
